“As a local photographer, I have watched the space become transformed into an elevated venue, and gathering space, all while keeping the rustic charm of the building. The grounds are beautiful, the open air feel is great, and the aesthetic details are gorgeous. The team behind it is superb, and I would definitely recommend this location of an event! A great location in the heart of Big Sur.”
