What the experts agree on
Robinson Jeffers' 1919 stone cottage perches dramatically on a craggy bluff overlooking Carmel Bay, its low-ceilinged rooms filled with art and books reflecting the poet's coastal inspiration. Tours only; children under 12 not admitted.
“Overlooking Carmel Bay, this enchanting stone complex embodies the spirit of its builder, poet Robinson Jeffers, whose writing was inspired by the raw beauty of the Pacific coast.”
