reasonably priced, excellent location close to restaurant. Lots of seating on the property for quality time with loved ones… including a couple of fire pits. Adequate parking but does get full since it’s a popular place. Easy check in and out… Loved Lady June!

We would definitely stay here again! The location was amazing, wonderful staff and we had a huge room! We loved being right across from the beach and enjoyed the beautiful walking path and tide pools. We had our dogs with us and we were gifted with a sweet welcome bag that included a ball, treats and a list of dog friendly places to eat. Such a sweet touch! The beds were extremely soft so it was a little hard to sleep for us and the rooms could definitely use an update but other than that I would definitely recommend staying here!

I had a really lovely stay at FogCatcher Inn. The property is quaint, peaceful, and has that classic small-town charm that makes Cambria so special. It’s directly across from Moonstone Beach, which made morning walks and sunset views absolutely beautiful. The location is a huge plus. The room itself was very clean, which I really appreciated, though the property does feel a bit outdated in places. Parking was easy and stress-free, and the overall atmosphere is super quiet and relaxing, perfect if you’re looking to truly unwind. They are also absolutely pet friendly, which is a huge bonus. That said, the WiFi could definitely be stronger, and the amenities are fairly minimal. But if you go in expecting a coz stay rather than a luxury hotel, it really delivers. Overall, a charming spot in a beautiful location. I’d absolutely stay again.
