About this property

Big Sur Dream Home. Completely private with an outdoor fireplace.



Drive up to your own privately paved and gated driveway to a home with a full 365 degree view of redwood and oak ridges. Full sun all day long. Perfect for one or two people. Arrive, relax and enjoy the beautiful mountain ridge as birds sing and red tailed hawks circle above.

Listen to the river flow as you sun bathe all day long without a soul to bother you. The deep ultimate luxury about my property is solitude and the stars at night.

Wonderful Stay

My partner and I had the most wonderful time at Mary's place. The home was was beautifully appointed and had everything you need. The drive getting to the property was georgous and the view from the art studio balcony was spectacular. I'd highly reccomend downloading google maps offline for the area, you will not have any service. We plan to visit again when we have the chance!

Wonderful getaway

Mary's property is a lovely getaway, it's beautifully handcrafted and in a stunning location. Lighting the indoor fireplace in the mornings and evenings kept it cozy and the views out the skylight in the loft are perfect for stargazing.

Relaxing Getaway

This Dream Home was amazing. Perfectly nestled in the hills this property was very private and just the place to getaway from the city life. The stars at night were breathtaking and we enjoyed the Big Sur coast throughout the day. Wonderful time at this property and will definitely we returning.

A cozy and private getaway with a beautiful view

Staying at Mary’s property was an absolute delight! The cozy yurt was the perfect blend of comfort and rustic charm, making for a truly unique getaway. Waking up to breathtaking views right outside the door was a highlight, and the sense of privacy made the experience feel like a secluded retreat. The outdoor fireplace was a great spot to unwind in the evenings, adding a warm and inviting touch to the whole stay. Mary was a gracious host and easy to communicate with before and during our stay. If you're looking for a peaceful escape with incredible scenery, this is the place to be!

Beautiful spot

We very much enjoyed out stay. Gorgeous beautiful location in the redwoods. Great place to enjoy the woods. The cabin and sleeping quarters are great. However, for the price charged, it is overdue for some renovation. There is no heating in the sleeping area, the heater in the pictures is only decorative.

Sanctuary

What a beautiful, calming, peaceful sanctuary for the body, mind, and spirit/soul. It took a while to notice there was something different and understood it was silence. I noticed I became more peaceful bathing in it. At night, I just looked at all the brilliant stars with all the lights turned off and it reminded me that we all traveled here from the cosmos. It was like coming home to my own body temple again and reminding me of who I am when I am at peace. Much gratitude to Mary...she was a wonderful host and had recommendation for what ever you can think of.

Magical Property

We booked a two night stay on the property. The second day a tree fell in the road and took down the powerlines so we had no power. There was a generator and plenty of propane on the property to get us through the power outage. We loved the property so much, We stayed an additional night.The property owner Mary was fantastic and a great artist! The property is filled with love and character! We will be back for our next stay in the near future!
