Great Visit

We had an incredible stay this past Memorial Day weekend, even despite some electric power challenges. A perfect space for our group of 10. A great location for getting away from the crowds camping in Big Sur but still close enough to get to some great hikes up the Coast. The property manager was great in helping answer questions. We hope to make it back some day!

Beautiful Views

Our family really enjoyed our stay-- reading and cooking by the pool, relaxing in the jacuzzi, and taking in the spectacular ocean views. Unfortunately PCH was closed just north of the property, so we weren't able to go further up the coast easily. However, we were able to spend time at Plaskett Creek, hike on trails just south of the home, and visit Ragged Point and Cambria. Justin is a wonderful host, and we would definitely stay at the home again!

Heavenly home

Our family loved this property… our grown children and their little ones, all enjoyed the houses, ocean view, pool, hot tub, homemade lemonade, hiking up and down the driveway and enjoying the nearby state parks. The furniture was not comfortable and could update but overall very nice , and clean . Thank you for sharing your property with us!

Amazing views, awesome property!

The property has all you need for a comfortable stay as long as you know that there is no cell service, slow wifi and no dishwasher. It’s a peaceful place with the most beautiful views of the ocean and coast. Fresh eggs and fruits from the garden. So relaxing, with hot spa+pool too. David lives close by and checks on you if there is any isssue. A pure jewel of a place.

I would go back there 100 times

I am so impressed with this property, location, quality of service, and everything. It was 8 of us who stayed there for two nights. We truly enjoyed our time there. The owner and property managers were very kind and responsive. Because the place is literally off the grid they kept checking on us every day to make sure we have everything we need. The place was clean. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and would go back there as much as I can. Thank you guys for your hospitality.

The view! Oh my- what a view! It was constantly changing with the marine layer. We loved the pool and the hot tub and used the fireplace every night. We slept like babies on the cozy beds. Chrystal and Monica were very helpful. We had to turn on the generator once and it was easy. Cannot wait to return…

A glimpse of heaven

Once you get up the rather treacherous road, all your worries just melt away. This property really is a little piece of heaven on earth. We had some guests that needed help driving up the hill, but most of us made it on our own. Justin and Crystal were very helpful both before the trip and during. We turned this setting into a venue for our small wedding for an extra fee, and it was an amazing decision! Our guests proclaimed that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. Crystal’s whole family was there and helped us with the heavy lifting of arranging the farm tables and setting up the chairs. It was a seamless event that will be remembered forever. Thank you for sharing your lovely piece of heaven with us!

Enjoy - YES and NO

While the location of this house is really nice they need to tighten up many aspects. While Matt and Jade were responsive they could not get the hot tub working, the pool needed to be skimmed, how to turn on the stove and over needed to be explained, the electrical system needed to be explained as well. While they did give me some money back, I would much rather they just made sure everything was working and the place was ready for us. My 2 cents.

Thanks for your review! For Future Guests: We are off-grid and thus not your average home. We run on generators and solar power and attention to this fact is required for our guests. We do provided detailed operational notes in the cabins, as well as offer on-call help for any operational issues. We've had some bad luck with the hot tub lately, and we're glad to say it's back up and running without issues. Given our remote location we cannot always get service providers on-site immediately. We always do everything in our capacity to provide you with the best experience possible. Thanks Steve for giving us a try and trust the refund made the hot tub inconvenience forgivable. Cheers!

Tranquil and Stunning Property

We booked this for a special get away with our late teen/adult children, their friends and our family. It was magnificent. The views are amazing, the pools and hot tub and house amenities are perfect. The property managers are incredibly responsive and were quickly available to address any questions or issues that arose. We arranged for a private chef - Chef Jesse McClelland - and I would HIGHLY recommend him! Best meal we had our entire trip and one of the best we have ever enjoyed. It was so fun and easy to work with him to arrange a menu that met our needs - vegetarians, one with no cheese and one picky eater. He was flexible, communicated well, cooked an amazing meal and cleaned the place spotless on his departure. Outstanding! We also booked massages with Moni and Izzy. They came to the house and did back to back massages in groups of 2 for our entire group. It was a wonderful and relaxing treat to compliment this beautiful location. Would highly recommend this property!

Spectacular view - could use some upkeep

This was possibly the most beautiful view I have ever seen - but some of the other things made the stay not so perfect. The pool was filthy- and when I emailed her about it she did say I could leave for a refund - but we had no where else booked so that would have been a little tough. There were other things as well, turned over pots in the yard, children’s toys in the yard, screens broke or missing all together, faucet in the kitchen very lose, grill didn’t work, just basic maintenance upkeep not done. Another thing which was totally not their fault, just annoying, they were working on the road - so while we were trying to relax you heard the beep beep beep of machinery. Beds were very comfortable which was a big plus!

You’re renting the view, the house is just so-so

The view, the pool, the hot tub and even the vibe, are just what you think you’re getting when you rent this property, and they’re all great. But the house is in need of some upkeep and the road, which is doable when it’s dry, is pretty scary when it’s wet. It is steep, narrow, and rutted with sharp turns. We were lucky and got in and out on dryish days but even so we left our 2WD car at the bottom. Just be aware and bring an appropriate vehicle. As for the house, it’s not bad, but for the price you would expect it to be kept up a bit better. And given that you really must plan to do all of your cooking there, you would expect to have a fully functioning kitchen with lids for the pans, knives that are sharp and a stove that is fully functional. These are all easily fixable and I hope they do make those improvements so that the price matches the property condition.

Stunning Views/Location - Home Just OK

We booked this rental for my daughter’s wedding. The gorgeous views were exactly as we had hoped. You get the woodsy side of Big Sur from one angle, and wide-open ocean views from another. We were in awe of both. This is an absolutely beautiful backdrop for any special event. June is chilly and often overcast, with speckles of sunshine. Now, for the houses on the property, they are just okay. Seemed clean for the most part but the build, exterior/interior and furnishings do not match the price point of the rental cost. I would say they are mountain-cabin-like in look and feel. If the views/surroundings weren’t so spectacular, I would have been very disappointed. Not what I expected. My daughter and new husband stayed two nights (we lodged elsewhere). On the plus side, both thought the bed/bedding were very comfortable but overall the homes are not well-kept. For those preparing for a wedding, expectations are pretty important, and that is the reason for sharing these specifics. The 2nd story house had only one small mirror, which made getting ready for the ceremony very challenging, but we made it work. We booked Chef Jesse for the wedding dinner. He was very organized, prepared and easy to communicate with from start to finish. He also helped with a small wedding cake on short notice, which turned out pretty cute. We felt the meal was good, but not great, compared to the cost. As others had mentioned, the drive up to the property is a

Love Big Sur!

Loved everything about this place, but it's not for everyone. It is remote! The drive up the canyon the first time is literally breathtaking but you are guided the whole way. We had a non-4 wheel drive expedition and it was fine. The property is absolutely spectacular!! We loved every piece of it! Stayed here with our immediate family of 7 including 5 kids aged 22 (turned 23 here) to 14. The first night we used the pizza oven and David helped us with fire supplies, but we did not give ourselves enough time to get the oven to temp before dark so we finished the last few in the oven. Our mistake. The property is so relaxing and beautiful! Had farm fresh eggs for breakfast and even saw some real wildlife! Sadly, the restaurant just below the canyon had a devastating fire days before we arrived. We chose not to drive Big Sur at night so the next day we had a spectacular late birthday lunch for our son at Nepenthe about 20 miles north. There was a wait but ample seating with a view and a drink to pass the time. Dinner was charcuterie and hot dogs with a few rounds of Euchre. The afternoon was spent at the pool. The pool guy arrived and asked if he could clean the pool and we all happily retreated to the hot tub. This was probably the best 30 minutes of our entire trip! We initiated a conversation with him and it was enlightening! He lives off the grid up a canyon with his family. We talked about living off the grid and school for his kids in the age of Covid - he's a great guy and we learned a lot! It was eye-opening in the best way! You are on solar power with a generator backup. Internet is fine, just not quick. We were there on non-sunny days and with the forest fires from the north impeding the sunlight. As a result the batteries did not charge completely. No worries - there is a generator. Yes, you need to refill it, but that is a minor inconvenience. But if you want 4 seasons perfection, this is not the place for you. We love 4 seasons, but also appreciated living pseudo-"off the grid" Would come back here in a heartbeat!! If I stayed here again (and I would except we live so far away), I would probably hire the chef for one night. We loved everything about the property but we like to have a glass of wine with dinner and now that Lucia Lodge has burned down there are no local options.

This property is a rare gem with 360 views of the coastline and mountains and green grass to enjoy. There aren’t too many rental properties like this in Big Sur. That being said you must be aware of the steep dirt road, worth it! The caretaker was very nice and the house was characteristic of Big Sur with some funk but well cleaned and master bed was very comfortable. 20 minutes to Plaskett and 5 or so minutes to hike Limekiln. We had a blast, would do it again! Thank you

We love coming back to this oasis along the Big Sur coastline. Truly one of a kind experience even when it rained most of our trip. Nestled up to the fire, saw a bobcat on a hike around the property. Jumped in hot tub as it was raining. Just amazing place to detox from the hustle bustle of life.

Our wedding party stayed here for a weekend. The whole experience was delightful, the pictures do not do the place justice. It’s more spacious than the pictures looked, and the sweeping views of the Big Sur coastline.. just STUNNING. We were literally above the clouds The driveway can be a bit tricky to find and drive up especially at night but it was so worth it.

Amazing place!!

This property was amazing. We checked in during a rare September rainstorm but that didn't deter our time. The weather cleared for my birthday and couldn't be happier. We only used the main house and only one bedroom so the cleaning fee was rather steep. Also we asked for a little extra time on check out by 30+ mins and it was not granted. We had two dogs and my GF had a broken wrist. But overall don't expect fancy amenities like the reviews have stated and the wifi works fine if that's a concern for you. We would definitely stay there again.

We didn't have time for a long trip but were looking for something special and memorable for a family celebration. This was perfect. The afternoon we arrived we watched numerous mom and baby whales from the front lawn. The next morning we arose to find ourselves on an island in a sea of fog. The pool drew all of us in for frequent swims, and stargazing from the hot tub was a fabulous way to end our days. Justin and David were both great about answering questions and responding to during visit requests. The beds and linens were also top notch. Responding to comments about the road in- I am a nervous traveler and was glad another family member was driving on the way in and out. We all made it fine in our two wheel drive cars, and David meeting each car to lead us up the hill was super helpful. We were glad we decided to skip going out to dinner because none of us really wanted to worry about navigating in after dark. Wildlife- besides the whales we enjoyed a early visit from a small coyote down by the pool. He was not interested in getting any closer. We also had a larger night visitor with paws the size of my hand sporting very pointy claws at the end of each print along the hood and roof of the car. They knocked over a trash can during the night, but did not cause any other trouble. All in all a beautiful, relaxing and memorable vacation. We would definitely consider visiting here again.
