After several visits to Cambria and attempts to find someone at Nitt Witt Ridge we finally drove by on this visit and saw a group of people touring the house. I waited at the gate until they came down and was informed by the owner Michael that he would be glad to take our group on a tour as soon as this one ended. The donation of ten dollars is well worth the very interesting walk around the unique property built into a hillside a few blocks off main street. You'll never see anything else quite like Nitt Witt or the story of how it came to be. Michael was an awesome guide and did a wonderful job of story telling, you could tell he enjoyed sharing his property. I HIGHLY recommend this attraction.

So cute! Ideal real estate, next to the Vet's Hall, the old lighthouse light and the Pinedorado grounds. Slice of Slab Town history. So much history here that goes ignored due to the strong appeal of staring at the ocean. Come for Pinedorado and get a feel for the local heart.
