This house is now 1 of 2 vacation rentals on the property. You will definitely notice the home's unique architecture as soon as you walk in. You will not find another home like this nor the massive 50 ft+ rock wall that provides cover to back side of the house.In 2016, after more than 50+ years operating as a working cattle ranch (Brookins Ranch) and a viewing attraction for Adelaida Wine Trail travelers, the property was unfortunately shut down and put up for sale.As a born and raised local, I had to purchase the property with the hopes of restoring it to its greatest and to allow others to enjoy what it has to offer. Since March 2017, my family and I have been working hard on the restoration - attempting to keep a lot of it's uniqueness while integrating modern technologies that will help expand the property's life. As such, we welcome you to come enjoy the experience as we continue to bring this property back to life!

Glen Oaks Big Sur stands out as a unique destination that beautifully marries modern design with rustic charm, all while embracing eco-friendly principles. Originally built in 1957, this lodge has been thoughtfully reimagined to reflect a fresh, green sensibility that honors its natural surroundings. The renovation draws inspiration from the original adobe walls, which are celebrated for their ability to keep the heat out and retain warmth. The lodge now features sustainable materials such as recycled stone, Peroba wood, bamboo, and organic cotton, creating a healthy and inviting atmosphere. Guests can enjoy walk-in showers that evoke the feeling of showering in the forest, complemented by stylish chrome and porcelain fixtures that add a contemporary touch. Whether you're returning from a hike or relaxing in your room, the vibrant colors and warmth of nature are always within reach. Cozy up under the luxurious natural wool blankets from Pendleton Woolen Mills, or indulge in the comfort of Coyuchi organic-cotton bedding and feather duvets. Glen Oaks Big Sur is not just a place to stay; it’s an experience that connects you to the beauty of the great outdoors while providing modern comforts.

2 nights at The Rock Loft

Such a cute and cozy loft! It was bigger than we expected and it was great that they had all the amenities! The outdoor is super cute and it was great that they had BBQ. The host also made sure we had enough pellets to keep warm throughout the night. Loved how it was dog friendly, though I didnt think it would be best off leash.... We were able to walk to nearby winery, chill, enjoy nature and eat good food. High recommend this stay!

This was an amazing place to stay. The loft is well prepared and has everything you need while you’re there. The guest book has tons of recommendations and ideas for you while you’re here. Would absolutely stay again. Our dog loved running around the property.
