A rustic, charming nature escape, where wooden-panelled cabins are tucked among blooming gardens and woodland walks lead to the Castro Canyon waterfall and creek. Norwegian-inspired, handcrafted cabins make up the accommodation, with some rebuilt to include an additional layer of insulation, while all retain the cottage-feel charm. From linen wall lamps and wooden bedside tables to embroidered rugs and dollhouse-style windows, each cabin is character filled. It’s charming, soulful, and gloriously unique.
Popular eatery perched on a cliff side with a sunny terrace with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Get their special burger and stop by the souvenir shop downstairs on your way out. Perfect place to stop by for a romantic break on the Big Sur Drive.
