Bodie House at Wildcat Hill
Come stay in “Bodie House” at Wildcat Hill, home of the late Edward Weston. Immerse yourself in the historical feelings that surround the “little house with the big mood”.
We would like to offer our guest studio as a retreat for photographers and others longing to come to the central coast of California. You can stay during one of our workshops or just come for an unforgettable getaway.
It is a great opportunity for those wanting to explore the Monterey Peninsula, Big Sur Coast and of course the famous “Point Lobos State Park”. Bring your camera, photograph the grounds, and visit this unique area surrounding the Carmel Highlands.
Cost is 175.00 per night, which includes Queen Bed, sitting room looking out at a wonderfully wooded garden setting (birds), small kitchenette, set up for light fixings, coffee, tea, refrigerator (not equipped for cooking) and a private bath. We now have wireless DSL for your laptops and some cell phone coverage – no cable. I am sorry we do not allow pets at this time.

Kim and Gina~
Karlee and I returned to Cincinnati last night after a great week in California and the two nights we spent on Wildcat Hill were certainly the highlight of the trip. Thanks to both of you for an unforgettable experience. I’ve been a fan of Edward and Charis for a number of years, reading about their life together and the house and life they built on the Hill. To get an opportunity to stand in the actual home, to see the darkroom and to stay in Bodie House, were, as I told Kim, akin to a baseball fan holding Babe Ruth’s bat.
Thanks also to both of you for the time you spent with us, answering our questions and letting us take pictures inside and outside your home. Edward would be proud that his family is carrying on the tradition of the open door on Wildcat Hill.
It was a pleasure meeting both of you and getting the opportunity to visit. I hope you have a great summer and that we will have an opportunity to meet again in the near future.

PS The print of Spring, 1943 looks wonderful. Now I have to decide where on my wall I want to hang it!
