Built of stone by 20th century poet Robinson Jeffers, it overlooks carmel Bay and out to Point Lobos. Entrance just a block off a beautiful walk on Scenic Drive in Carmel above the beach and shoreline. More

You must reserve 1 week in advance for tours (run by volunteers as a labor of love). This is a delightful and informative view into Carmel's early artistic history. Those who appreciate architecture will find Jeffers' buildings fascinating, and the stories will interest everyone but small children. A little hard to find, as modern development crowds right up to the... More

The tour has something for almost everyone, but it's not for really tall or large people. Tours are restricted to 6 people, which makes for a personalized experience.

Docent-led tours of Jeffers home, gardens and especially Hawk Tower provide poetic, historical, and architectural views of this historic property.

Well worth the time, especially if you are... More

Boy were we happily surprised! The tour was really low key, with a knowledgeable docent. We saw most of the house, got some great inside... More

I had never heard of this American poet but the house was interesting. Built from granite boulders picked up on the beach & surrounding area it is a charming cottage. Only the main house is open to the public. The tower is fun. Would recommend a visit. More

Even if you're not an avid poetry reader, even if Robinson Jeffers is a name you only dimly remember from the anthology you used in a high school English class, there's a good chance you'll enjoy a visit to Tor House, the stone cottage Jeffers inhabited with his wife and their two sons. Jeffers found the spot--a hillside over a... More
