We truly enjoyed our stay at the Rigdon House. Staff was amazing and the room was to our liking. Very clean and a modern atmosphere in an old world charm.
Quaint boutique style property near restaurants and shops in the heart of Cambria. Very nice happy hour included with several mixed drink and wine offerings. Nice fire pit where we enjoyed meeting several repeat customers from as far as San Francisco and Los Angeles.
What a wonderful location, completely unexpected and above and beyond what have experienced at many hotels. Ambulance is fantastic, town is a lovely and quaint, great for a relaxing weekend. The staff is well informed and friendly well-being, professional.
Or favorite place to stay in Cambria. Great location. Not on the beach, but it now than makes up for it by proximity to dining and shops. Wonderful property and friendly staff.
We've stayed at Rigdon House many times with our small dog. Very comfortable stay, large room, and a wonderful happy hour. Walkable to shops and restaurants in Cambria, and a short drive to Moonstone Beach.
Always love to stay here, very welcoming. Love the cocktail hour that is free each night of your stay. And love that everything in town is walking distance.
