About this property

12 Miles South of Carmel in a Redwood Canyon! Perfect getaway in Big Sur!

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

Sweet dreams are made of this...
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas,
Everybody's looking for something.
The Eurythmics




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.

It’s was perfect.
We loved this place so much. It was exactly as we expected, lots of steps but you really feel like you are staying in a tree house!! Also, I think the drive in from the highway(about 10 mins) is equally as special. We were sad to leave😢

Spectacular Couples Getaway in the Redwoods
If you are craving a getaway in the Redwoods, this is the spot for you! It is absolutely amazing! From the little patio off the bedroom, you can enjoy morning coffee or evening cocktails with views on all sides of just the redwoods. The home itself is very special. It is decorated so thoughtfully and uniquely. The architectural design nestled into the hillside is fascinating and beautifully done. (Yes, there are a lot of stairs up to the home, well lit and absolutely worth the climb!) From literally every spot in the home, (including the shower) there is a beautiful view of the forest. We were also fortunate enough to have beautiful weather, and the stargazing through the trees was an added delight. Gerry greeted us when we arrived and showed us the amenities. Communication was great, although everything went very smoothly so we didn't need to ask for any assistance. I didn't have any difficulty with the road in my little Honda Civic and the travel into the woods is truly part of the adventure. We enjoyed Point Lobos State Park, Carmel, and Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park during our 3 day stay. This was definitely the most memorable and wonderful VRBO we have ever visited. It is the perfect couples retreat and my soul was truly refreshed by soaking in the beauty of the redwood forest.

Respite in the Redwoods
I had a wonderful stay at The Little House in the Redwoods. Being there was so peaceful, I felt my whole being down shift and become truly relaxed for the 1st time in a long time. It's right in the middle of beautiful towering redwoods, with a flowing creek below. I loved sitting out on the deck just off the bedroom, listening to the creek. It was just what I needed.The whole experience was great. I cant say enough good things about my stay. When I arrived Gerry met me and helped me carry up my belongings and introduced me to this lovely little house. Walking into the house is such a visual delight. The craftmenship and design of the space is so beautiful. The whole weekend I kept looking at and admiring the exquisite work that went into building this sweet house. The decor is beautiful, comfortable and welcoming. The hosts Maureen and Gerry had thought of everything to make my stay special. They had a wonderful fresh loaf of artisan sourdough bread on the counter for me, which I ate half of all by myself, it was so good! Also butter, jam, eggs and milk were in the fridge. Plenty of coffee, tea, bottled water, and spices and oils for cooking. Even a couple bottles of wine were available. I loved the way every detail had been thought of, from the color and softness of the towels, to the hand made soap in the shower. Maureen and Gerry are wonderful hosts. I definitely want to come back.
