About this property

Only god can make a tree. Probably because it's so hard to get the bark on. Woody Allen.

The Littlehouse is located less than 10 minutes off of Highway One, and is accessible by a good road in all seasons. It is situated in a redwood forest in a canyon along a tumbling stream. Pleasantly isolated, it enjoys sunny days and cool nights. Its amenities, delightful furnishings, full kitchen, gas fireplace, luxurious bed and bath, generous closet area, private deck, are appropriate for either short or long term visits. Coastal and forest hiking trails and scenic beaches are nearby. Carmel with its delightful shops and many restaurants is a short drive away as is the Big Sur Village, Nepenthe and Pfeiffer Beach . Simply a delight.

Marketing these days is too much with us. Flowery modifiers, lyrically poetic descriptions, vivid adjectives wash over us all day, everyday. I can't take it. Just know that the LittleHouse is a special lodging in a beautiful place.

Magical stay in the woods

Fantastic property in a unique and beautiful setting. We had an incredible, relaxing time at the property made all the easier by the hosts’ clear instructions and swift responses to our questions. Location is great for exploring Carmel and the Bay Area or the Big Sur coastline. By some distance the best property we stayed in on our California holiday!

A beautiful, magical, stunning place.

We were blown away by the eye wateringly perfect location. The redwood forest was beautiful and serine and we felt like we were in a Tolkien novel. The cabin/apartment was equally gorgeous and finished to an extremely high standard. Constructed high up in the forest it offers a lovely view of the trees and stream below. We also need to mention how hospitable and warm the hosts were too. This was one of the highlights of our trip through california. Highly recommended!!

Wonderful Experience in the Little House!

My partner and I had an amazing stay at the little house! While the drive into the canyon from the PCH on a bumpy, dirt road is not conducive to a weak stomach, the juice is definitely worth the squeeze once you arrive and soak in the beauty of the majestic redwoods and decompress to the sounds of the babbling creek nearby. The hosts were super helpful and take pride in providing their guests with everything they need to have a special experience. Highly recommended!

Amazing Getaway

We had an amazing long weekend at the Little House. The owners were above and beyond wonderful and ensured we had a great stay. The tips we got for what to do when on our first day turned out to be perfect based on the weather conditions, you could tell he was thoughtful about his advice. The house itself was gorgeous, clean and couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful location. I would highly recommend and we hope to go back again someday 😊
