Robert Louis Stevenson House

This historical site, built in 1840 is a place Robert Louis Stevenson stayed and did writing. The building was closed and tours don't appear to be scheduled, you can explore the grounds and peer through the windows. To enter the backyard garden you go through an opening (unmarked in front of the building). It's worth a quick stroll if you're interested in a historic site.

Charming building where Robert Louis Stevenson lived for three and a half months in 1879. There’s a lovely, quiet garden in the back that’s great for a peaceful sit down. The major downside is that the building is open only April through October, that too only on Saturdays, and that too only 1-4pm. Nevertheless, worth a visit if you love Stevenson and wish to have a blissful hour in a nice backyard garden.

Fun tour with interesting facts! Wanted to find out about the RLS house so decoded to take the tour. Chris did a great job of sharing facts about the hiuse and the life of Robert Louis Stevenson and his writing. There are artifacts from his childhood home in Scotland to his last days in Samoa.

Interesting point of exploration in Monterey, California. Robert Louis Stevenson home from 1879, where Treasure Island was manuscripted.

Friendly, knowledgeable docents. Great antique collection. Beautiful building.

The right time to visit and enjoy this secret garden!

The interior was closed when I walked by on the Path of History, but the gardens are very beautiful and peaceful. There are a couple placards posted so you can pick up a little info even without going inside.

Interesting history, house & pretty garden!
