Unique, beautiful place
The location is beautiful and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was also clean and nice. The only downside was the occasional, late night noise from the neighbors' dogs and trucks. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our stay and are glad we explored the area.

Quail Nest was even better than we imagined! We came super late and Jeff's super clear directions helped get us there smoothly and safely even in the dark with no service!
Everything was super clean and laid out beautifully. When we woke up we were on a magical property filled with charm. Jeff and his wife Rose were so kind and welcoming.
It's absolutely wonderful and having welcoming hosts makes it that much more comfortable!
Would have loved to stay longer... next time!

My friend and I loved staying here! It was such a beautiful property and the drive in was amazing. Very unique and also a comfortable bed. Hope I can return sometime soon. Thanks Jeff!

What a GEM! Can’t wait to go back!
What can I say that hasn’t already been said?
Jeff greets you with warmth and patience. I could listen to his calling voice for hours. A genuinely great gentleman.
And what a perfect place to stay: has Wi-Fi, hot water and strong shower, heat even if you’re ‘roughing it’ in the ‘tent’. (Don’t forget to turn on the heater before you nod off!) Fridge and a big seating area available too. The ‘outhouse’ was clean and roomy. Parking super easy.
From waking to the rooster in the morning to the incredible starry sky at night. I’ve never felt so in sync with Mother Nature, and yet it took very little time to get to Monterey when necessary, on one of the most scenic and enjoyable roads I’ve driven in my lifetime.
I don’t usually go to the same place twice, but I’m already looking forward to planning another trip next year. And to spending more time on the property and in the surrounding area.

Good Vibes
Such a cute property! Love the communal area and the shower building just the feel and vibe/ decor of the place was so positive.

Jeff has a great set up. He was super patient when I had car problems and helped with directions too. There is a Picnic table next to the tent, grill for cooking, full bathroom within a short walk from the tent cabin. Comfortable bed in the tent as well as a fan and heat. Lots of interesting artistic touches too around the property.
There's a swimming hole nearby.
Be prepared for a very twisty narrow road to get there.

Jeff the host at Quail Nest was very attentive and helpful. The first night my air mattress kept deflating, the next day he went out and bought a new one and the second night was great, he also refunded my first night, much appreciated. The amenities are great. The location was a bit far for my purposes I was visiting Big Sur, but if you’re doing activities in Monterey or Carmel Valley. It’s a great location.

Our stay at the quails nest was a 10 out of 10! Jeff and Rose couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating. From the moment we arrived we were treated and felt like family! They had great suggestions on stuff nearby and were knowledgeable about Monterrey and Caramel. They generously gave us veggies from their garden and offered things we may have forgotten. The stars are a sight at night! We hope to make it back to Quails Nest in the future!

Beautiful little oasis!
Jeff's property was far more beautiful than it looked even in the pictures, and we were so grateful to stay there. It's nestled into a beautiful little area in the heart of the Carmel Valley, and was so peaceful – we even got to meet some super friendly other guests. The private bathroom was clean and lovely, we had our own grill, and the outdoor seating area was so cozy and welcoming. Our tent and air mattress were basic, but exactly what we expected! Agree with some other reviewers that the drive in can be a little intense, and we would definitely recommend doing it in the light of day the first time. We loved our stay with Jeff and would absolutely recommend and return. Thanks for having us!

Everything was exactly as pictured. Really beautiful property! Didn't spend much time at the property aside from winding down and sleeping so didn't get to explore the property very much. Only con would be that that there were bugs inside the tent/on the air mattress despite zipping everything up which I didn't expect/was not ideal while sleeping. Lots of activity from animals at night and constantly hearing footsteps around the tent when there was no one there. Bathroom was awesome and fridge was a huge plus. Probs wouldn't go back but would recommend for anyone who is going to get the most out of the rest of the property as it seems like it has a lot to offer!

We found Jeff’s place right before a hike in Big Sur and needed a place to crash after. What a perfect spot, super cute yard and set up. Bathroom and everything was very clean and tidy. Ruby, the dog, was the cutest!
Would definitely stay here again.

Glamping in a Peaceful Paradise!
This property was stunning. We felt so lucky and would go back in a heartbeat! Also the bathroom was beautiful and sparkling clean.

This is an amazing hipcamp. The tent is wonderful and there are lots of nice spaces on the property to hangout. The property is also walking distance from numerous attractions (such as local swimming holes and a park) and a short(ish) drive from Big Sur/Carmel Valley

Glamping
Our glamping experience was unbelievable. We came to this location after backpacking in Big Sur. Jeff and Rose were very knowledgeable of the area and were great hosts. They even helped us out with cast iron to cook our leftover steak and potato smash (from Nepenthe in lieu of using our backpacking stove & pot) and also gave us fresh eggs from the farm. Got to hold a baby goat from the nice neighbor. The propane heater inside of the tent helped out with the late night chill that occurred prior to bed. The accommodations exceeded our expectations.

Wonderful place for your spirit
I really enjoyed talking with Jeff about Cachagua and local history and seeing and hearing so many different birds on the property. The quail nest was comfortable and perfect to sleep with our sleeping bags. Light sleepers (not me) will want to bring earplugs if they want to sleep in because the friendly goats next door and doves wake up around sunrise. Stars were beautiful at night. Glad I could visit with my son.

Great stay! Awesome hosts! We where glad we brought lots of blankets though because it got cold at night! The neighbor had very cute baby goats and was happy to talk and let us pet and hold them! Such beautiful scenery! Definitely recommend.

Glamping next to a goat farm
Jeff and Rose were so friendly and accommodating! They gave us a tour of their property upon arrival, which included goat snuggles with the neighboring baby goats. The property was serene, a great sanctuary with a grill, fridge, communal spaces, and clean bathroom. The directions to the location were concise, and the drive there is beautiful. I highly recommend this spot for a relaxing retreat.

We had a great time staying on the little farm compound. Baby goats had just been born next door and we got to hold them, and Jeff even gave us some fresh eggs from the chickens. Would definitely recommend.
