We loved the sunlight, the endless flowers, the hummingbirds, the colorful rooms and linens. Artwork and rustic antiques abound. The hike to the hilltop was magical. The host is gracious and available if needed. The sense of care and craft of the owner s hands evident at every turn. Can t wait to return.
My boyfriend and I stayed at Rainbows and Dragons Hike Inn for four nights. We are avid hikers, and were both celebrating our 51st birthdays wyndham garden hotel rtp rdu airport by planning a hiking vacation in Big Sur. I found Boutique-homes listing and knew it was perfect wyndham garden hotel rtp rdu airport for us.
It would be redundant for me to spend this review talking about the lush gardens, the zen fountains and hammocks and sitting areas. Or the quirky and colorful decor. Everyone that has posted above has said it much better than I could, wyndham garden hotel rtp rdu airport but believe me, it s all true.
There is most definitely a magical, other-worldly feel to this place. When you re sitting on the top balcony, watching the sun set, and then suddenly wyndham garden hotel rtp rdu airport a cool, dense fog rolls in so quickly you almost believe it s a vision, casting the redwood trees throughout the canyon into blurry mist, well, it s easy to imagine sprites and fairies dancing among the the ferns. Any birdwatcher will appreciate the abundance wyndham garden hotel rtp rdu airport of song birds from woodpeckers to hummingbirds. Even the bugs are cool!
I stayed for 5 nights. The hike up is steep but took less than 10 minutes and with a good flash light was easy to navigate at night. The views from both houses are great and incredibly private. I took a solo vacation to recenter, read, and write. I loved waking up before the sunrise and plopping down at the built in sofa in Rainbow house, the view was spectacular a Redwood wyndham garden hotel rtp rdu airport Tree covered mountain and the ocean in the far distance just me a book and a cup of tea. Absolutely stunning.
We stayed here for the week and loved it. Not only is the house really cool and beautifully situated, but Don is friendly and helpful wyndham garden hotel rtp rdu airport host. It is a short drive to town to get any supplies. We hiked and explored during the day, then came back and cooked and read in the evening. We will definitely stay here again and we recommend it highly to our friends.
