Thank you for taking time to share your experience. You definitely nailed my definition of value. Privacy, open space & hiking Northern California Coast.
We had an amazing time here. The property and views are the perfect way to enjoy the location and it’s perfectly situated to visit Carmel, Monterey, and BiG Sur. We rested well and needed nothing except groceries while here. Everything was carefully considered and appointed. Thank you for the hospitality!

This speaks volumes. Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to share your experience. Warm regards.
A unique property: Private, quiet, (with a variety of singing birds) capped off with stunning 180 views of the valley and the ocean. Fog tides roll in and out in a beautiful rhythm. It is also convenient to groceries, dining out and local parks/hiking. It was clean and ready for our arrival and we enjoyed disconnecting from everyday reality. Washer and dryer work great, so you can pack light. If you are intimidated by driving on a tight road with a significant change in elevation (in almost whiteout fog), then time your visit and activities accordingly. We chose not to drive in and out after dark on the heavy fog days. If you are going to Point Lobos, go early because of limited parking - it's worth the visit. The drive to Big Sur was as amazing as always. Location, location, location...

Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the views, peaceful setting, and convenient location. We appreciate your visit and hope to welcome you back soon.

We had a wonderful two week stay at this secluded Adobe cottage in the hills overlooking Carmel. The weather was cold at the beginning, so we enjoyed reading by the warmth of the LR fire which burned real wood amply provided. Once the clouds parted the temperatures rose into the 60s and we enjoyed morning gourmet coffee overlooking breathtaking views of mountains and sea. Lou was very responsive to our every need and his cleaning lady sweetly allowed us a grace period the day we packed up to leave. A unique & very special hideaway.

Thank you for staying with us—we truly appreciate your visit.
All of the home’s features, including the TV, heater, and door lock, were in good working order, and we were glad our property manager could come out and walk through how to operate everything to ensure a comfortable stay.
This is a magical place in all aspects. The view was incredible and the house had everything we needed. We were content staying at the property all day but it’s also close yo so many beautiful sites…point lobos, Garrapata, Carmel, etc…. I will definitely be staying again. Thank you for an unforgettable weekend stay!

It was a well appointed home. It had everything we needed. The views were amazing. Our dog enjoyed the house as well. And Lou was a very responsive host. The process of checking in and out was easy. We will be back.
A beautiful home to stay in, in all weather, set in extraordinary landscape of sea forests and wildlife . We had a wonderful family Christmas , great cooking , open fires in the evenings and walks along the coastal paths and beaches.
Would stay again! Amazing and beautiful location with stunning views, close to everything but private enough to have your own space. Very lovely house.
This was the most magical place to stay. The view from the property is absolutely breathtaking, the photos don’t do it justice. My partner and I came here for our anniversary and it was the perfect escape from the city. The place is extremely cozy and roomy, and it has everything you need to cook out - we made steaks on the grill and the setup outside made for a perfect sunset dinner. Location is super convenient right across from Point Lobos if you’re in for a hike, or 10-15 min to Carmel if you’re looking to go explore there. One thing I would recommend is getting there before sunset - the directions to go up to the property are easy to follow, but it’s extremely dark and windy roads. Will hopefully come back again soon, we absolutely loved our stay!
House was very nice with a wonderful cooks kitchen but the main stars were the incredible views and the absolute peace and quiet.We would definitely book this property again!
