We feel lucky to have been able to stay at this this artfully designed guest house. The host, Cynthia, was kind and generous with her offering. We caught beautiful sunsets over the ocean and laid in the bed looking at the stars.

Our stay at Cynthia and Daniel’s Gallery house was absolutely sublime. My best friend and I were looking for a beautiful place to unwind and relax in the middle of a 10 day trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and I can’t imagine a better one. The property offers several places to sit and gaze out at the incredible vistas, and the thoughtfully designed custom cottage was filled with beautiful touches, like lanterns and plush robes, that made our stay even more lovely. At night, the clear skies and incredible stars could be seen both inside and out. Falling asleep to a starry sky outside my window, and the sound of waves, is something I will never forget. Both of us hope to visit the gallery house again, and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a place of quiet contemplation, beauty, and comfort.

It was our anniversary & we couldn’t have found a better setting for a peaceful, romantic few days. The property is private & overlooking the ocean with numerous outdoor places to sit or lay down & relax. The inside of the cottage is small but very comfortable. Every window has a beautiful view of the ocean or surrounding gardens. We didn’t want to leave.

Had an amazing time at the property. The view is absolutely insane. We were past the road closure, but it wasn’t a problem, we just had to stop one time and show them our info. Its about 20 minutes to some of the restaurants. Would highly highly recommend if you are looking for a secluded retreat. It’s small and cozy . Would stay again anytime!

First time to the Pacific coast and Big Sur!
Unbelievable! You can drive up and down the coast, but the Gallery house views are the best. Saw shooting stars, heard the sea lions and saw hummingbirds in the garden. Perfect spot to relax.

Great hosts, made sure everything we could possibly need was there! Great outdoor areas to sit and relax. The sunshine was amazing… the house sits just right to the ocean to enjoy all that nature provided for us. Birds, sunlight, the moon it was all wonderful! We just sat in the sun, talked without the interruption of a TV and read. It was a perfect couples get away.
Thank you Cynthia ♥️

my partner and I felt like we were inside of a dream the whole time we were at gallery house. a slice of heaven right on a cliff side right in the heart of big sur. the views from every window and from the lawn take your breath away. the space was clean and cozy. all of the best things to do in Big Sur are close by. cynthia and daniel were incredibly communicative and kind, going as far as to even check in on us during a storm. we’re already planning our trip back. magic!!

First - the place is phenomenal! On a cliff overlooking the ocean. We heard seals, and saw pelicans, hummingbirds, etc. every day. We even saw a condor! You can see the Milky Way from the bed. The perfect place to unplug.
Second - the hosts went far above and beyond just hosting us. We ran into some car trouble and they were a fantastic resource. We can’t thank them enough.

My husband and I spent our first two nights here after getting married in Big Sur and it was the best decision. The property has sweeping ocean views and is so peaceful and relaxing- just what we needed after months of non-stop work. There are so many special places to seat, I think we sat in every spot and took in the view and looked for whale spouts. This home is incredible and we cannot wait to return. Next time we are going to go whale watching on the same boat as Daniel! Thanks Cynthia for a lovely stay and a beautiful home to start our married life off just right!

Once Upon a Time
You know how fairy tales being “Once upon a time…” That’s this place and the story unfolds from there. The gardens greet you with colors and succulents, humming birds and hawks soaring over head. This little cottage tucked into a cliff is so quaint until you gasp with a view that takes your breath away looking out over the Pacific Ocean. That’s when you pray “if this is a dream I don’t want to wake up!” Cynthia and Daniel are the best host. He’s a wildlife photographer and the home has a library of photos that are an extra treat. And she’s that host that makes you feel right at home. I cooked breakfast every morning, we did game night and put down the cell phones. We explored parks near by, Redwoods in one, a beach with purple sand in another. This trip centered around this vacation rental has rivaled our Alaskan cruise! There’s so much to see and experience. We kayaked with the sea otters in Monterey just down the road. My only remorse is before noon I’ll have to say “The End” but my memories will go on “Happily Ever After!”
