We've just returned from a wonderful 4 night stay at The Big Red House. It exceeded our…read moreexpectations. Completely comfortable, super clean and well stocked but not cluttered. I am an innkeeper and consider myself pretty picky when it comes to comfort and cleanliness. When traveling with a dog it isn't always easy to find such nice places to stay. We especially enjoyed the artwork in every room and the upstairs deck where we sat with a bottle of wine and watched the sun set into the ocean. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, all you hear is the ocean! The location can't be beat. Cambria is a great town and the elephant seals and Hearst Castle are just minutes to the North. Fun towns and dog-friendly beaches to explore just minutes to the south. We never went more than 15 minutes north or south and we were busy every minute. Elaine could not have been more friendly and helpful. She left us alone to enjoy our romantic getaway but we always knew we could reach her by phone or email if needed. She has put a lot of her love and care into this house. Enjoy!

Poco and Lulu really are amazing. 2. the prices are so reasonable for what you get. it's this adorable guest house (far from the main house, so very private), and this great saloon with a fire pit next door. parking is available for several cars, and the views are just gorgeous.. 3. it's a perfect location if you have a car. very easy to drive around to all the vineyards for tastings..and pick up some bottles to enjoy at oakdale ranch. 4. the owners are very respectful, laid-back, and give you all the privacy in the world! i loved this place, and will DEFINITELY return when i visit california again.

The house was…read moreso cute, the bed and pillows super comfortable, and the area so quiet made it relaxing and romantic. We made coffee, eggs and toast in the kitchenette every morning and were sent off by Lulu and Pono (the two ranch dogs) before we left for our daily activities. The house is in close proximity to many of the Paso wineries, 30 min to Morro Bay, and 10 minutes to downtown Paso Robles which made it easy to take mid afternoon naps before the next activity. The last day we drank our wine in the Saloon and loved all the interesting artifacts and history. We can't wait to come back in the fall for another visit!

My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and this home was perfect,. Gorgeous, secluded, with an herb and orchard garden, deers, birds, eagles... And a wonderful patio setting to take it all in. We planned to leave the property and hike (which we love to do) and there is a trail head at the bottom of the driveway, but we enjoyed the setting and house so much we just opened bottles of wine and drank in the beauty of the place. There is a great record collection with a turntable that had us pulling out old albums and remembering when we last heard them - as well as played one a turntable. That was fun. We are definitely coming back!! Like any Big Sur property , as the area is remote, bring provisions - we love to cook and hike so we brought food/wine and gear for both. This home is a great launching pad for hiking, the beach, etc...and has all the ammenties. So enjoy it. We planned to trek but were so happy at the home we just stayed there but next time, we may just venture down to that trailhead... :)

Ana met us at the house, provided us with a nice bottle of wine and gave us a thorough tour and told us to make sure we, "made ourselves at home". Mark's extensive album collection (that would be LP's to us old folks!) was absolutely amazing. That's what my partner keyed in on and for the next 3 days played so many albums and was just in 7th heaven!! Then there are the views!! Seating everywhere, ocean views from everywhere on the property and sitting in a chair with a fine glass of Cabernet, watching the sun set over the glistening waters of the Pacific Ocean, listing to vintage Beatles...well, there just isn't anything better! I also arranged for massages to be given out on one of the landings on the property, and listening to the waves crash against the rocks, the birds tweeting about how much THEY loved the area and just relaxing, as the world passed us by! Ahhhhhh. And if that weren't enough, each morning and evening, we ran ourselves a steamy bath in the OUTDOOR soaking tub and sat there (again) watching the ocean and (in the evening only mind you), nursing that lovely glass of Cabernet as the sun set beneath the ridge line. Again, did I mention, ahhhhhhhh. Thank you Ana and Mark for such a lovely time and money well spent at your home away from home.....the Big Sur Stone House. We will see you again!

Both the inside and outside were unkept. The hottub was dirty and clearly not drainied from the previous guests. We couldn't use it after the second night becuase it was so gross.
