About Us
Cambria history embraces The Burton Inn guests with 19th century elegance.
This gentle retreat into a bygone era dates back to 1865, when it was built by a
local prosperous farmer, Rufus Rigdon. Later an English couple acquired the property,
and built in 1975 the stately Burton House next door. Eventually, both buildings became
what are known today as the delightful Burton Inn.
The Burton Inn is a model of old world charm with modern convenience. Twelve comfortable
suites contain spacious sitting areas, private baths and numerous thoughtful ambiences -
all augmented by attentive service. One of the highlights is a richly carved, wood-paneled
library embellished with antique leaded glass windows. Much of the library's cordial
atmosphere was created by the master artist whose designs grace majestic Hearst Castle.
Restful sounds belie the downtown East Village location as Santa Rosa Creek accompanies
the merry serenade of froggy baritones. The inn invites you to savor the atmosphere,
beautiful vistas, and gracious hospitality of Cambria's small town charm.
