About Owners
We are 2 artists living and working in Big Sur for nearly 40 years. We teach workshops at nearby Esalen Institute in art, photography, dance, meditation and unfolding one's intuition. We both exhibit our art in local Big Sur & Carmel galleries, and are in museum and private collections worldwide. We love living and creating on this property!
Owners purchased this Cottage in 1991
Why Owners chose Big Sur
There is no other place like Big Sur in the world, with it's breathtaking beauty & it's natural environment. We have some of the worlds greatest & most inspiring teachers, thinkers, artists, writers, poets and illuminaries living here or who have lived here or passed through. The local people, like a tribe of creative individuals, really know how to live life as human 'beings', rather than human doings. The land calls to us in her quiet spiritual whispers, where One can slow down and appreciate the simplicity of just BEING. We feel blessed everyday and are so very grateful to own and live on this property here in God's most magnificent creation!
What makes this Cottage unique
It's all been said above, just leave the world behind and find a sanctuary for the soul here in an environment of a beauty that is beyond words.

Big Sur Gem
The Gallery House is a special slice of "life" on the bluffs of Big Sur...magical location with rustic care-free appeal...
Incredible experience!
Our stay at the cottage was absolutely amazing!
To be able to stay on such a special piece of property in Big Sur, we will forever treasure.
The cottage was warm, cozy, clean and Cynthia was easy to reach and very welcoming.
Can’t wait to return someday to experience this gorgeous place again!
A piece of heaven
The Gallery House does not disappoint. Photos are accurate. The views from the property are breathtaking, the home is perfect for two guests, the fireplace provides warmth and a great sense of coziness.
There are lanterns provided if you want to go outside in the late evening to see the stars. The hosts have provided house shoes and warm robes as well. I will re book in the future.
Magic. Absolute magic.
This place is nothing short of a slice of heaven. Do yourself a favor - stop looking and hit book now. We can’t wait to come back.
We so often hear that our cottage and it's ocean cliff location in Big Sur is a "slice of heaven". That you experienced the magic warms our hearts, it is what we hope to offer to all of our guests. Please come again, we love to have our guests return for more and more magic, again and again! Many Thanks, C & D
Breathtakingly Spectacular!!!
Celebrating our 2 year anniversary we couldn't have chosen a more perfect cottage to switch off, relax and indulge in breathtaking jaw dropping beauty. Every detail fitting the rustic setting - super comfy couch, blankets, pillows, fireplace, fluffy robes... Oh - and falling asleep and waking up to the ocean is beyond blissful. You'll lay in bed for hours! This is the kind of place that you'll be fantasizing about in years to come.
Ah, you experienced the "Bliss" our oceanfront cliff side cottage offers, and no need to fantasize, just come back, we'd love to have you again. Many Thanks, C & D
