Photos and Description of the Big Sur vacation cabin rental
Cabin, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-5))

This is a secluded gem of a cabin with craftsman touches in a very lovely setting. It sits in a private corner of the property with magical filtered light through the oak and redwood forest. South facing with a beautiful mountain/canyon view it is very spacious (aprox 600sf) with the tinted plaster walls and arches giving it a very warm, old world feel. The quaint little bedroom is accessed by an outdoor covered staircase and has a spectacular view of the canyon. There is very nice deck space on three sides of the cabin, where one can sit in sun or shade and enjoy the abundant bird life or enjoy the views while soaking in the clawfoot tub that sits in our newly added redwood gardenroom. Deer are commonly seen, with the occasional glimpse of a bobcat or fox.

We now have a wood-fired sauna on the property,which is available to 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. The perfect place to calm your spirit and feel the bounty of nature. Due to the fact that this is a shared sauna we ask that you wear bathing suits.......sorry.

The property is conveniently located halfway between Carmel/Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur Proper. Three miles inland and over 1,100 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 4/10ths of a mile up a well maintained dirt rd.......access is rarely a problem and then only during heavy storms in the winter months at these times 4WD is recommended , though not often necessary

About The Owner

We have lived in the area for over 25 years, and on this property for 16 where we have raised a large family. All of our children still live in the area, and our 13 year old daughter, Sienna, is still with us. I am a carpenter/builder and have rarely had to leave this canyon for work while my wife, Monica, has worked for many years at a fine restaurant in Carmel. We have been avid backpackers through the years, taking the entire family on many hikes. We are a storehouse of info regarding the best local restaurants, hiking trails, beaches, river spots, etc. so please feel free to ask.

The Owner purchased this cabin in 2004
Why The Owner chose Big Sur

Since first passing through here as teenagers, we have felt that this is one of the most beautiful places in California, if not the entire planet earth!

What makes this cabin unique

The peace one feels while living in the forest amongst the wildlife and beautiful always changing scenery. It is a spectacular area, and every year we feel its beauty more deeply.

I really can't say enough wonderful things about this cabin. It's not just that it's cute, cozy and warm with thoughtful touches throughout...it really does have a nice energy too, as if all the wonderful people who have stayed here before have left a little bit of love behind. We really enjoyed all the beautiful flowers blooming around the cabin...and even found a bit of mint growing outside for our morning tea too. Our favorite part though? We absolutely LOVED the sauna and outdoor tub! (But, don't worry, there's a shower/tub combo inside if it's too cold to use the tub outside.) Even though our main goal was to relax (we barely left the serenity of the cabin all weekend) we did take a hike at Point Lobos State Reserve one day...it's only about 20 minutes away and very much worth the drive! You will love this place...we certainly did.

Big Sur Adventure

My two adult children and I spent three nights in this cabin while exploring the Big Sur coast. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The giant oak tree outside the front windows made it seem like we were living in a treehouse. I would highly recommend this cabin as a convenient place to stay while playing in the Big Sur area. If I have a chance, I will come back!

Perfect Cabin/Great Location

5 of 5

My husband and I recently returned from a stay at the cabin. The trip up to the cabin and the scenery in the area is like nothing we've ever experienced. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The cabin is well built and has some unique touches. It also has great views. We didn't get a chance to use the sauna, although it looked awesome. We did use the outdoor tub, which was great with the sun shining down on you. Even though the owners house is on the property, we felt very secluded. The cabin is in an awesome location once you get off the mountain, which is an experience of it's own. The location is perfect. You are only a few miles from Point Lobos, which is a must see. We stopped at the grocery on the way in, ate breakfast at the cabin and packed a picnic lunch to take with us every day. This worked out great. Even though the cabin is beautiful within itself, the area surrounding it, is amazing. You won't be diappointed. If you are up for an adventure, then this is the place for you. Our only regret is that we live so far away from here that we may not may be back to visit for many years. Great place! (fyi, cell service doesn't exist at the cabin or along a lot of the coast, however they have wifi at the cabin, which worked fine for us)

Wonderful get-away cabin

5 of 5

My husband and I were looking for a place near Big Sur for a couple days of hiking and relaxation, and luckily found Monica and Joel's cabin. The road is was fine, and their directions were perfect. They were both warm and inviting, but we had complete privacy in the cottage. We took two hikes while there, the Soberanes Canyon Trail, north of the cabin near Soberanes Point off Hwy 1, and the other south in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, the hike to the falls. Both were great, and the scenery was magnificent. Stopped at Pt. Lobos on our way back to the bay area. Not to be missed.

The cabin was just as described, perhaps even better. We weren't sure about the bedroom 'nook', accessibly only by outdoor stairs, but we ended up loving it. The double bed felt more like a queen and was incredibly comfortable. Having the sun wake us was a real bonus. Their new sauna is beautifully constructed and incredibly relaxing. We recommend it highly. Light the woodburning stove, wait about 15-20 minutes to get the room good and warm, then add water and yourselves. Used it four times in two days! The outdoor (single) tub was great as well. The kitchen was adequately outfitted - no microwave, but the basics were there. It rained and hailed on our last day, but with fresh coffee, warm blankets and good books, we were more than comfortable waiting out the storm. Thanks, Monica and Joel, for a terrific two days! We will be back.

Just what we needed!

My friend and I stayed for two fantastic nights at the Severson's cabin for our joint birthdays. What scenery! We found the place to be exceptionally clean and well stocked with amenities (linens, kitchen utensils, and a sufficient amount of appliances). Their attention to detail was perfect- Monica had even built a fire in the woodstove for us to light on our arrival! Both Joel and Monica were respectful of our privacy, but invited us up for a visit if we wanted. They provided their favorite hikes in Big Sur for us to explore and were especially helpful in arranging for our departure via an alternate road when a random redwood had fallen across the main canyon drive. And I haven't even begun to describe Joel's newly completed sauna, perfect for stiff muscles after a day of hiking in the nearby Ventana Wilderness.

I highly recommend this place- from the hospitality to the scenery you can't go wrong.
