It is in this Victorian house that Robert Louis Stevenson dropped anchor time to find the inspiration for its L'Ile masterpiece with the Treasury. He spent there a few months during 1879, still unknown. A stroll in the peninsula of Monterey inspired the design of its imaginary island.
Caution: take care to call before your visit to check the opening of Louis Stevenson's House. The house has been closed to the public due to budgetary restrictions, and does not open longer in summer, thanks to the help of volunteers of the region.
