Great host communication

Recent guests loved Sofanya's communication.
A cozy, rustic, secluded studio cabin with one full bed. It's a 3/10-mile steep hike from the main part of the property. The perfect getaway for romance, writers, artists or anyone who needs a retreat in nature!
I'm going to emphasize again that the hike to the cabin, although not a very long hike it is very steep especially nearest to the cabin. You'll be carrying all your belongings so plan accordingly.
If you are pregnant this isn't a good option. Contact Sofanya for other lodging options.

The space
This tiny forest cabin is separated from all other dwellings on the property, and requires that you hike uphill with your belongings & groceries. Please keep this in mind when preparing! The semi-outdoor Bath provides a forest view while showering! The kitchenette is equipped with a 3-burner cooktop, mini-fridge, coffee maker, toaster, and all dishes, pots/pans & cutlery. The semi-outdoor Bath provides a forest view while showering! Art supplies are provided so you can express your experience through painting. (Art classes & "Essence Portraits" available by appointment with Sofanya.)

Guest access
*Park in the lot where you see the sign for “Lotus” and walk up the dirt road on the left. Pass the Hawks Nest Cabin and then an old trailer and up the steep road to the Lotus Blossom. This is a steep hike so be prepared. If it’s dark out be sure to bring a light. There are motion lights part of the way up but not all the way.
The door will be unlocked for you and the key on the table. When you depart please leave the key on the table and the door unlocked.
If you need anything go to the art gallery located on the ground level in front of the Dome House. The door is unlocked and you can access internet in or anywhere around the gallery area.

Neighborhood highlights

Palo Colorado canyon is a completely residential neighborhood that is 25 minutes from the nearest commercial areas in Carmel. The county road is paved, but narrow and curvy, with no street lights. Guests are encouraged to check-in before dark, both for the drive into the property and the hike up to the cabin. There are motion lights most of the way up but you'll need a flashlight or phone light for the last part.

Lives in Big Sur, California
I am so pleased to welcome guests to stay here at my "Jewel in the Forest" with choices for several very "glamorustic" magical houses and cottages. It is so rewarding to know that people can come here to stay for a vacation, business trip or even a retreat for healing and leave with wonderful peace and memories and a desire to come back! I am an artist so Blessed to live and work in this paradise forest in between Big Sur and Carmel. I'm inspired by the knowing that each of us are nature and not separate from it. This is the basis of my art and healing work. People often ask me what kind of art I make and the truth is "Life is the Art"! I work in many mediums and love the exploration and discovery of art as a medium for the universe of knowledge to come through the paintings and sculpture. I have for many years enjoyed welcoming people from all over the world into my gallery & studio here on the "Jewel in the Forest" property. We also have a small area I call "Carabella's Theatre" where we hold seasonal gatherings, weddings, workshops etc. I am so pleased to welcome guests to stay here at my "Jewel in the Forest" with choices for several very "glamorustic" magical houses and cottages.
