  We Have a Mission However, Kennolyn has been the site of world-renowned summer camp programs since 1946, when it first opened its doors to host weddings, special events, and retreats for guests. From its beginnings as a mere 60 acres at Stone Creek Village, it grew to 300 acres with the addition of Hilltop Hacienda Estate in 1956, and it has now grown to 450 acres with the addition of Soquel Ranch, which began as a mere 60 acres at Stone Creek Village. The vast majority of the land has remained undeveloped to this day because Kennolyn's commitment to harmony and awe for nature is inextricably linked to the preservation of natural life and beauty. Nonetheless, we have not shied away from providing all of the amenities, resources, and activities that will create one-of-a-kind memories and connections for those who visit our facilities. Kennolyn Events is still in business today, bringing people together for weddings, retreats, and other types of special occasions. Consider the Wedding of Your Dreams Weddings are a reflection of who you are as a couple: the things that make you laugh, the things you've learned about each other and about yourselves, and the things you want to take with you as you begin your new life together. At Kennolyn, we are driven by the desire to assist you in bringing those qualities to life and transforming that representation into an unforgettable celebration. Our private, all-inclusive venues can be completely customized to reflect your personality and the setting of your dreams.

  Loma Vista Gardens

  • Spaces for 225 Guests

  Loma Vista was established in 1929 by Alice Jaeger, the last granddaughter of Big Sur’s first pioneer families, the Posts, on the family’s original homestead. Alice and her husband Steve built the property as an inn, diner, and the coast’s first gas station. In the 1930’s, when the newly built Pacific Coast Highway connected the rugged and untamed Big Sur wilderness to the rest of the world for the first time, Loma Vista filled a new need in the community, becoming a place to rest, refuel, and share news from the outside world. The building that now houses the Big Sur Bakery is the original home, which also served as the inn and diner. Alice’s greenhouse, where she grew and sold her prized begonia’s, is now home to Mother Botanical. the carriage house barn, located beneath the Bakery, is presently our pop-up art gallery, featuring a revolving roster of local artisans. In the gardens, many of our cacti and trees were planted by Alice herself, nearly 100 years ago. Still family owned and operated, Loma Vista continues to be a centerpiece of Big Sur, and a place for the community to gather in times of celebration.
