Location:
1.5 hour south on HWY from Carmel.
Access: 1/2MILE up a narrow dirt driveway. Only in case of rain, 4 wheel drive may be required to get up the mountain. We get about 30 days of rain between November - April. In otherwise dry conditions, 4 wheel drive is not necessary and most all vehicles are able to get up the hill without issue. We greet all of our guests on HWY 1 and escort them up to the property so there is never an issue of guests getting lost or stuck on the hill.
If you are uncomfortable with your car getting dusty and driving on dirt roads, please do not book our property. During rainstorms, cars very low to the ground do not do well on our driveway and would be advised against. We do not offer power for electric vehicle charging. We are off grid and all power is generated on-site.
Other facilities and amenities: Solar heated infinity pool, propane heated hot tub, outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, 2 outdoor showers, additional options for private chef, in-house massage, and group yoga classes can be book with 2-week advanced notification.
PLEASE NOTE: We are “off the grid” and we run on solar power, we have a backup generator that we can use as need. Special care and consideration is required of our guests to be mindful of operations, and considerate of power supply. If you are uncomfortable being off-grid with limited services, please do not book our property. We have very reliable WiFi, however due to our remote location our speed is limited. We are not a good option for those needing Zoom/video conferencing. WiFi calling/audio conferencing does work well.
2023: No bnfires allowed. Do not burn down our home or land. Unauthorized bonfires are grounds for eviction without refund. Owner is very strict on this policy.
