  The location, photos, and description are accurate- but pictures don't do this home justice.The home is clean, well-maintained, secluded, and it is clear that the homeowners have taken great care to reduce the home's impact on the environment (solar panels, composting, lots of natural light, excess water is rerouted to irrigation, etc). There is also a hiking trail right next to the house so you can also get a hike in during your stay. During our stay, we were able to see many animals on the property. Monarch butterflies and various bird species flew by, deer came down to the garden, and we even got to see a whale. The home owner is a wonderful and sweet person who is personally interested in her guests. When we arrived at the home, we received a warm reception and we were even greeted with fresh flowers, wine and chocolates! We had many questions about the location itself while planning our visit and we received timely, thorough, and detailed explanations each time. We would definitely recommend this location and can't wait to return. Thank you for making our stay so memorable!

  C'est une villa magnifique, tres bien equipé avec un vue extraordinaire sur la mer. Le soir vous pourrez voir (avec un peu de chance) des chevreuils dasn la priorieté. Une des plus belles villas que j'ai pu louer. Prestation exceptionnelle. / This is a beautiful villa, very well equipped with an extraordinary view of the sea In the evening you can see (with a little luck) deer just near the house. One of the most beautiful villas that I could rent. Truly Exceptional.

  If you are looking for a vacation rental where your expectations are for relaxation, peace, and tranquility, look no further than The Big Sur Stonehouse. My mother, partner, and I had the great pleasure of staying there for 3 nights and 4 days. The week we picked we had perfect weather, no rain, not too hot, just the right breeze to keep the windows open throughout the day and night. The pictures really don't do it justice, when you get out of your vehicle and look towards the ocean and then back at the house your mouth just hangs open. You can't see the house from the highway and only occasionally do you see the top of an rv or hear cars on the road. Ana greeted us upon our arrival and we invited her to have dinner and cocktails with us shortly after meeting because of her warmth and gentle personality. She has that touch of making you feel very welcome upon first meet and greet. We lacked for nothing at the house, movies, cable tv, Internet service, phone (no cells though which isn't a bad thing), hot tub, etc... The only thing we would do different is that we would have packed a cooler with food and drink so that we didn't have to leave the house unless we wanted to go hiking or something. Do yourself and your loved one(s) a favor and rent this remarkable house, you won't regret it.

  My husband and I got married at the Stone House last weekend and couldn't be happier. Just from the ad, my husband could tell that this was where we wanted to get married. After visiting the property in January, we were sure. We arrived at the Stone House last Friday. Ana greeted us with hugs and showed us everything we would need to know about the house. She had even set up a surprise for us with wine, chocolate, and flowers. We had about 10 people come over that night and begin setting up for the wedding. We rented 5 tables with umbrellas for the patio and wooden chairs for the ceremony and had them delivered to the property. That night we had a beautiful evening talking with the other couple that was staying with us, drinking wine, and sitting in the greenhouse hot tub. The next morning, after asking our permission, Ana came back and helped us set up for the wedding. She hung stars from the table umbrellas, helped hang signs, and cleaned some of the coffee mugs people were using. Ana also let us use the tools in her shed. This gave us access to things such as extra extension cords and screw drivers. Then she used the flowers that I picked out to arrange a beautiful bouquet for me and created vases of flowers to put around the wedding! Her excitement, flower arranging skills, and knowledge of the property really helped set up go more smoothly. At the wedding, we had about 60 guests and it seemed like we only used about half of the space we had available for us. Everyone commented about how incredibly beautiful and unique the wedding location was. We took countless pictures with the amazing ocean, stone, and garden backgrounds. There was enough parking for everyone to park on the property, only about 100 feet from the wedding. The kitchen allowed us to bring all of the wedding food and store it, refrigerate it, and heat it. After the wedding there was more hot tubbing. The couple staying with us said they had a wonderful time sitting in the outdoor bath and listening to the waves crash on the cliffs below. Ana came back on Sunday and hugged us goodbye. She sent us an email today saying that we did a good job of taking care of the property and cleaning up so we will get our full deposit back. It was the best wedding I could have imagined. I would definitely encourage anyone looking for a Big Sur wedding to visit this property.

  My boyfriend, friend and I stayed at this wonderful home while visiting Big Sur. The house is clean, spacious and has everything you could want for. The view is magnificent, the beds are comfortable and Ana, the home owner, is wonderful. Really, there is nothing negative I can say about staying here. There is wonderful hiking close by and with Treebone's located just 4 miles down the road, you have a great restaurant close by. The house is about 25 miles outside of Big Sur so it is a bit of a drive to get there. However, it's a gorgeous road so the drive isn't much of a bother. I would whole heartedly recommend this house to anyone and look forward to staying there again myself!

  2 friends 12 reviews jeff t. clever slogan goes here San Francisco, CA 5/28/2013 I actually thanked the owner and she said "no....thank you". From the moment i stepped foot on the property, and the owner showed us around, it was spellbinding. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and this home was perfect,. Gorgeous, secluded, with an herb and orchard garden, deers, birds, eagles... And a wonderful patio setting to take it all in. We planned to leave the property and hike (which we love to do) and there is a trail head at the bottom of the driveway, but we enjoyed the setting and house so much we just opened bottles of wine and drank in the beauty of the place. There is a great record collection with a turntable that had us pulling out old albums and remembering when we last heard them - as well as played one a turntable. That was fun. Accommodations were clean with everything you need for you stay! We are definitely coming back!! Like any Big Sur property , as the area is remote, bring provisions - we love to cook and hike so we brought food/wine and gear for both. This home is a great launching pad for hiking, the beach, etc...and has all the ammenties. So enjoy it. We planned to trek but were so happy at the home we just stayed there but next time, we may just venture down to that trailhead... :)

  My boyfriend and I stayed at the house for one amazing week at the end of April. The house is beautiful with a to-die-for view of the ocean and valley. It is nestled at the top of a long driveway and is completely off the grid. The house was clean and fully stocked. Everything was in working order and we found ourselves relaxing immediately. Ana was gracious in showing us how everything worked and let us know we could make the Stone House our home for the week we were there. The layout was great for us because my boyfriend likes to sleep in but I'm a morning person, so I could wake up (while he slept in the master bedroom) and go into the other building which houses the kitchen and make coffee, etc without disturbing him at all. The house is close to several state parks and great hiking as well as yummy restaurants. We also took full advantage of the BBQ and kitchen and cooked dinner almost every night. I'd highly recommend this house and we hope to be back one day!

  We had the most amazing experience here at “the Big Sur Stone House.” The view is the obvious part that amazed us, but it was the “little” things that made it so special. Our son turned 7 while we were he and he enjoyed every minute of it. He got a big kick out of picking two carrots, washing them, & having them for dinner. I had an amazing bubble bath in the outdoor bath tub. We even picked fresh lavender and I bathed in a lavender drawn bath. We saw quail, deer, turkey vultures, hawks and a bobcat! Thank you for stocking the house so well with various food and books. Our 16 year old spent most of her time playing records all day. It was great how there was something for everyone! We will be back for sure! Sand Dollar Beach was so close & beautiful. Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!

  The view from the house is absolutely amazing. The house is very comfortable, the host was extremely helpful, and the location is remarkable. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is looking to get away and take in the beauty that is Big Sur.
