Immediately east is Apple Pie Ridge, home to local and homestead families. Nestled among the redwoods is a rustic 2 bed, 1 bath cabin with surrounding decks and a large barn. The 2 acre setting offers a bucolic retreat in the heart of Big Sur and only a short walk to the Big Sur River, Big Sur River Inn and the Village.
