Loved by guests
"The back patio has a magical feel with the amazing Big Sur backdrop."
"We also had a hot tub on our patio and it was really nice to be in the hot tub mid-December surrounded by the tall trees that enhanced the Christmassy feel."
"The hiking trails, creek, and close proximity to beaches and hiking trails was the real star of the show, and allowed us to navigate big sur as first time visitors."
