Places to stay in Big Sur

This house was amazing -- would love to stay here again. The rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen were well stocked and super clean! The bikes and surfboards were an amazing addition to an already beautiful house. We wished we could of stayed longer to take advantages of all the extras! My family enjoyed the hot tub. We will be back! Thank you!

We selected the home to celebrate a 60th birthday with siblings. It was perfect for our group of five. We walked (and ran) on the beach, did puzzles, made meals together, and spent quality time just hanging out. Kitchen has everything one could need. Plenty of supplies. Clear instructions and expectations. We’d absolutely return.

What an absolutely beautiful place to stay! Incredibly quiet and so clean! Karin was so easy to communicate with and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hot tub and views were added bonuses and it truly felt like a quiet escape! We absolutely recommend staying here!

Highly recommended! This house is located in a private and quiet area. Once you get past the entrance gate, there’s a private road leading to the home, which offers a beautiful view to a neighboring field of grapevines. From inside the home, there’s a beautiful view to the fields. If you are in town for the wine culture, consider planning a visit to Willow Creek Wine Co., who offers amazing chenin blancs, and Union Sacre for ecclectic wines. Overall, great experience.

If you’re visiting Cambria, this is THE place to stay! What a beautiful home - built with so much love and care. Spending time at Hummingbird House was just as magical as wandering the beach, nature preserve and cute streets of town. We’re in California for 18 days and this was above and beyond our favorite place and best Airbnb.

What a lovely and charming cottage. We felt right at home and it was a good deal for the price. It was better than the pictures because of the feeling we felt when we arrived. It was welcoming and inviting and we definitely felt at home. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Really enjoyed the central location and proximity to the beach, but also how secluded / quiet the house felt. The large sliding doors and large deck backed up to trees/nature was the highlight! Also the EV charger was a nice addition since we forgot to charge the car before heading out for the weekend.

Wonderful 5 nights at this Beautiful House right on the ocean. The house is well equipped and well cared for, and a very peaceful retreat with fabulous ocean views. Kitchen is well stocked, and the living room/dining room has a great TV and sound system. We really enjoyed our stay. Plus just a few minutes from some great hiking right on the water.

I absolutely loved the place! So cozy and beautiful surroundings. I’d definitely recommend to others, too.

Really beautiful land and cabin. A very special place. We walked for a few hours everyday around the land with our pup and spent afternoons swimming in the lake (20 min drive). The cabin is super well equipped for cooking, even for a birthday cake! We saw a bunch of wildlife, which was wonderful. Kept our pup on the leash when exploring since he'd probably get himself into trouble. Would absolutely recommend!

Amazing property, very private and fantastic for a few days getaway. Pristine untouched Nature, herds of deer and rich wildlife. Close to a good variety of attractions if necessary. We really enjoyed a few days with family off the grid. The house is beautifully decorated and clean, the kids loved the loft. Kelli was very responsive and had a lots of good recommendations.

Beautiful location, you feel like you’re in a magical realm. The cabin is cute, but it is in the mountains and in the woods so is chilly, make sure to bring sweaters. The hot tub is great, but note that it isn’t a standard hot tub, you sit on the floor of it. Great for us but may be hard for others! I’d highly recommend this spot and we’re thinking about coming again.

Thanks for sharing your amazing A-Frame. We had a great time and the new upgrades are great (sauna and BBQ area). Appreciate visiting the area and trying new things so this checked all the boxes. Thanks again.

We had a great stay at this cozy cabin in the Redwoods. What a beautiful location, of course the pictures do not do it justice. Literally nestled in the center of towering redwoods. The kids loved the swingset, art room, game room and of course exploring the yard for banana slugs. The cabin was much bigger than we expected, we definitely plan on returning in the future. Thank you Kristy!

This was one of the most stunning locations for an AirBnb I have visited. Beautiful landscape, beautiful views, a feeling of awe and spaciousness everytime I woke up and realized where I was. Can highly recommend.

A wonderful little cabin in the redwoods and close to great hiking trails, vineyards, and small towns to explore. Perfect location and beautiful, modern cabin. Louise was very responsive and helpful!

Loved it here, only regret is not staying longer! Thanks for sharing this gem💞

Absolutely incredible stay! I came solo and it was everything I needed to unwind—peaceful, private, and full of charm. The highlight? Showering outdoors with nothing but open sky and the view of cattle grazing nearby. Next level relaxation. It felt surreal and grounding at the same time. The whole setup was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully designed. Morning coffee with the breeze, stargazing at night—it was pure magic. If you’re looking to reset and reconnect with nature, you have to visit this place. It’s an unforgettable escape.

The views from the cottage were gorgeous and our favorite part was lounging on the deck! We didn’t want to leave, the cottage was well equipped with everything we needed for our short stay. Convenient location as well!

We had a very peaceful stay at Michael’s place in the mountains and Michael was friendly and helpful in checking us in and providing recommendations for good places nearby. It was nice to sit out on the property too and enjoy the beautiful views. Would stay there again!

Lovely place, quiet, very clean and cozy and with a comfy bed and great view of the hillside. Everything was just as described and Patricia was very helpful and lovely. We also appreciated being able to bring our dog too. The place is close to Carmel Valley Village and not far from it there’s a wonderful walking area next to Carmel river .

Beautifully set cabin in the woods, removed from the bustle of Ocean Avenue while only a 5-minute drive away from it. Tom was an excellent host who made us feel at home and made himself available for recommendations or a friendly chat on our way out the door. Highly recommend!

Anna was very kind and responsive with any questions we had. The location was unbelievable. I loved sitting down to have a meal and enjoy the beautiful view. Would love to go again in the future. Just beautiful and amazing overall

This place is such a gem! The host was fantastic and we sincerely appreciate how much care was taken to ensure that our stay felt like a peaceful retreat. I cannot say enough about this place. The interior and exterior was charming and curated with views of the local vineyards and farm animals. We felt instantly at home and cared for and will definitely come back again! This place had everything we needed and more. 5 stars!!!
