About this property

Gem of an apartment with craftsman touches in a very lovely setting

Our apt. unit is attached to our main house, but is still very private wits own entrances, full kitchen, bath, and no need to bring your own water, we've plenty of good well water here. It opens onto a large yard and has a nice ocean view. We now have a wood-fired sauna on the property,which is available for use to our guests as well as ourselves. The sauna has a large,covered deck and sits in a quiet location shaded beneath a giant live oak,with a beautiful canyon view. A perfect place to calm your spirit and feel the bounty of nature.

The property is conveniently located halfway between Carmel/Monterrey Peninsula and Big Sur Proper.Three miles inland and over 1100 ft in elevation,we are usually above the fog,which creates unique views as it moves in and out of the canyon like slow tide.We are 4/10 of a mile up a well-maintained dirt is rarely a problem and then only during heavy storms in winter months.At these times 4WD is recommended,though not often necessary.

Awesome Spot!
Monica had great communication with us from the start. We had read all the reviews, but she also made a point to inform us of the drive to the house and that other renters described in their reviews as an obstacle. We personally loved the drive in and had no problem getting back and forth. Monica checked on us each day, while this wasn't necessary, it was very thoughtful and she was a pleasure to chat with. The apartment was perfect for our family of four (2 adults, 7 & 5 year old). The 5 year old slept on the chair futon and the 7 year old slept on the couch; they wanted to be in the same room. My husband and I slept on the bed in the next room. There was also a hide-a-bed in the living room that we only used for our family movie nights. We all slept comfortably, & the hide-a-bed was fine for how we used it, but may not have been the best for a full night. We appreciated that there were curtains to separate the 3 main rooms when needed. The restroom comes off of the main bedroom & the kitchen was very helpful. The kitchen has all the basic necessities you need. We cooked breakfast & dinner there each day. One highlight for our kids was getting to see the wild turkey each morning and sometimes some deer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back for another weekend getaway.

cozy space on the hill
We live in the midwest and this was our first visit to Carmel/Big Sur. The property manager reached out to us ahead of our arrival to welcome us and make sure our needs were met. The apartment was clean, cozy, and quiet. As some reviewers mentioned, the drive up the hill to get to the location is a little tricky the first time up due to narrow roads and a dirt road. After the initial drive, we embraced the adventure and appreciated the beauty of the nature around us.
