Cabin Nestled in Forested Canyon
This charming 1930s cabin boasts a striking stone-tiled fireplace and an eclectic mix of furnishings, all drenched in natural light from skylight windows. Grab a blanket and a warm drink and sit out on the patio to catch some early morning rays. Please note: The area our home is located in does not have cell service. Wifi is present but moves at a slower speed. As a result, our property is not conducive for remote working. The fireplace in the bedroom/kitchen is inoperable at this time.

Badass
Perfect spot for a small group if you wanna explore Big Sur. The location isn't too deep so you'll be close enough to Carmel for stores if you're not good at pscking as I am. But just deep enough you can beat the morning crowds to state parks. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Magical Forest Getaway
This location is amazing in Big Sur. Close to great hiking and the coast, Less than 20 minutes to Carmel and similar to spots in Big Sur. Very close to the famous Bixby Bridge. Our hosts were lovely and had great suggestions for stops and hiking. We celebrated our anniversary here and loved every minute! Such a cool hidden canyon and feels a world away.

4th of July in Glorious Silence
We loved our stay at this adorable place. The trees surrounding the cabin are absolutely beautiful. The drive down the road to the cabin is absolutely magical. The only thing missing that could have elevated it is a hot tub for the cool, quiet nights. BONUS: Cool banana slugs come out at night on the patio. Great place to stay to hike and explore Carmel-by-the-sea or Big Sur. There is no cell signal, but there is wifi, and a landline. Bring a sleep mask if morning light wakes you and you don't want it to! The sky lights are amazing, but you will wake with the sun if light is a problem for you. Hosts were more than helpful!
