Holiday rentals in McWay Falls

Amazing views and a peaceful location—waking up to the ocean and wildlife was unforgettable. This was our hub for exploring Carmel-by-the-Sea and Big Sur. A short 30-40 minute drive to Big Sur for hikes, and just 10 mins to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea for great dinners. There’s also a handy general store at the bottom of the hill. A couple of notes: This is one of 4 units on the property. While listed as “entire home,” there’s a unit attached at the rear with a door that opens directly into your space through a hallway (for my wife’s peace of mind, we kept our bedroom door locked at night). Another unit is above, and one more is detached in front. That said, everyone keeps to themselves, and interaction is minimal besides maneuvering past their parked cars in the driveway. Also, screenshot the address and key code—cell service drops near the hill and the turnoff into the property is easy to miss in the dark the first time around. Thanks for hosting us, Emily & Mason! We loved it.

Ultimate GLAMPING!!! My wife and I came from Napa for our daughter's graduation from UCSC and stayed for 3 nights in Bethany's amazing tree house. Wise move!! Too many great details to cover but here are a few reasons it was one of the coolest Airbnb experiences ever: * Location: You are gazing out over a redwood forest from the deck so you feel like you're out in nature except you have tons of amenities like... *The kitchen: Everything you need - frig, grill/griddle, sink, knives and silverware, spices *Pavilion style tent: Heavy duty tent which can be closed with velcro to block out any wind so you will sleep soundly in a cozy bedroom *Gas firepit: Great for cool mornings/evenings. Our graduate came up for one night and had a great time hanging out around the flames up in the redwoods. *Hammock: Who doesn't need to relax in a hammock in a shady forest? Therapeutic. Bethany was responsive to questions and requests and couldn't have been a better host. 5 stars all the way!

Delivers what it promises. I hadn’t realized it was an attached unit to the main house, so I felt a bit less privacy than I expected. The area is absolutely stunning, surrounded by extravagant nature. Caleb was super quick to respond to my questions and gave me great local recommendations. I wanted to explore more tourist spots, but the house is quite far from Carmel-by-the-Sea, so I had to take long drives — though the scenic roads made it totally worth it. Overall, I had a good experience.

Such a great space and hot tub! The view was great and the animals were so fun to look at. The room was cozy and the bed was very comfortable. Hidden treasure was finding the dvd player with some old movies to watch

This was a great getaway in a beautiful countryside. If you're looking for something somewhat off-the-grid, I would wholeheartedly recommend this memorable little dome. Waking up to see and hear all the birds in the morning was lovely.

Staying at this cabin nestled in the heart of a redwood grove in the Santa Cruz mountains was truly magical. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this wasn't just a place to stay — it was a carefully curated experience. The host has thought of everything to make guests feel at home and beyond comfortable. The attention to detail was incredible: high-quality toiletries, a well-stocked pantry with essentials (and then some!), soft, luxurious bedding, and even thoughtfully placed candles that added a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. Every touch felt intentional and generous. What truly set this stay apart, though, was the host. Incredibly accommodating, kind, and flexible — they went out of their way to ensure every one of our needs was met with care and promptness. It’s rare to come across someone so committed to hospitality. Waking up surrounded by towering redwoods, with birdsong filtering through the trees, was unforgettable.

We used Daphne‘s Airbnb as our homebase while we explored the area around Paso Robles. The unit was very private and the nearest neighbor is a few hundred yards away. It was set in a field at the bottom of a hill. It was easy to drive and park right next to it. We had lots of wildlife encounters while we were there owls, Hawks,lots of deer and we think a weasel We’re gonna come back next time we’re in the area.

Absolutely loved our stay with Carly at the farm. It’s so beautiful and quiet. As the listing says they’re out in the country so bring your own food, but the kitchen is amazingly well equipped, the cabins are spotless and very nice, bathroom is also spotless and very nice. But oh my gosh the property… it’s so cool. Stunning rolling hills, more birds and bunnies and wildlife and stars than you can count, common areas are VERY cool like the game room and fire pit and saloon, and we were lucky enough to be there when the goats were being born. Carly and her family let us meet all the babies and it was such a special experience for our daughter who loves animals. Amazing stay, we will def be back. One of the coolest Airbnb experiences ever. Thank you!
