Redwood Room Gazebo

Gorgeous glamping spot by the water

We loooved the property! Super charming. The bath house was magical. Beautiful spot tucked away right by the water. Gorgeous views. The cats were cute but a bit annoying, aggressively trying to take our food.

A Place to Camp

Slice of Heaven

This was a little piece of heaven tucked away right off the 1 Highway before the closure up Big Sur. My girlfriend and I stopped to camp here before heading to Monterey for our anniversary and we had THE best time here. The highlight of this site was the two baby kitties who followed us around and the babbling creek right next door to our tent. The fog spilling over the mountains and the trees surrounding us made us feel like we were on another planet, it was so beautiful one could cry. The land had pretty much everything you need including a bathroom, shared kitchen, fire pits, tables for eating, a hammock, nice people and a shower. Definitely not glamping but just to be able to stay in a beautiful part of Big Sur was worth the drive, the no reception and rugged camping. Will ABSOLUTELY come back and bring everyone I know.

Cabana with Futon

Birthday getaway

G & Bri were so sweet and helpful, they took great care of us! The property is absolutely beautiful and there are 2 equipped out door kitchens. Our cabana was clean and even had extra blankets, they thought of everything!

One of a kind

Breathtaking! The creek, the beach, and the campsite itself were spectacular. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay on your property! You guys were welcoming and offered great insight that led for my boyfriend and I to have a one of a kind experience. We look forward to being back with our kids! Thank you again! 🌻

Cabana with Futon

Camping with new friends.

G and his wife Bri, were absolutely amazing hosts. The views were spectacular, the set up was what I expected and more. The kitchen had more than was needed. The out door tub house was great! (Great photo op spot) Definetly will go stay there again and again. Loved Dabudage.

A Place to Camp

backyard camping

Not upto expectations -We were prepared for a basic amenities and a working farm environment - but the overall appearance was of a very rundown place, no privacy, free ranging cats and dogs and chickens, - our nearest neighbor was just 25 feet away - we even took turns sharing the camp fire (our turn was after 9 pm) - the stream was a saving grace, the campsite could definitely do with some clearing of the debris, wood piles, water hoses etc. The beach is a less than a 10 min walk. Overall - not a place I would go back to or recommend.
