Hiking and parks nearby.lovely deck Five minutes from Carmel or Monterey, this home is a dream get-away for a couple seeking quiet beauty and charm as a way to balance all the easily accessed fun of the Peninsula. This Jack's Peak secret paradise is a discovery you won't want to miss. This cottage used to be a milking barn for a small farm. It is now part of a very exotic estate on 23 acres in Jack's Peak. It is completely secluded and the entrance to the estate is gated. It is about 575 square feet, with a combined kitchen/living area, bedroom, and a bath with a shower. It was recently remodeled and is very comfortable. The patio area is lovely (one of the most enjoyable areas) and is enclosed by sequoia redwoods that are about 20 years old. It has a gas grill and a fire pit, as well as an overhanging grape arbor. The house is heated when necessary by a wood burning stove/fireplace. (There is plenty of wood to fuel the fires!) The passive solar from the windows on the patio are usually sufficient to heat the house, however. Space heaters that quickly warm it are also available. There is a wonderfully comfortable King size bed. The glass-sided shower is tiled to the ceiling and the shower head with hose is marvelous with several settings. Luxury shampoos and towels are provided. The "water closet" (toilet) has its own small private space. Guest Access Guests will have ample private parking and of course the private patio area. There are beautiful Arabian horses on the property who love any extra apples you might want to share on the way to a hike in Jack's Peak Regional Park, which is an easy walk from our driveway. 900 acres to hike and enjoy the view. Interaction with Guests I will greet you and go over essentials. Thereafter I will be available by phone to help with any questions or issues. There are other residents on the estate who could help in an all-out emergency, but privacy for all is the rule of the day. The Neighborhood We love the birds! Owls, Redwing Hawks. Oh so many birds. We feed them, too. Our neighbors treasure their privacy and this is considered a rural neighborhood, with five acre minimums to build. Very quiet, and we ask our guests to be relatively quiet also. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available - Onsite parking includes off-street options ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Garden - Gas grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 1 accessible parking space - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator (single-level property) - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair accessibility - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - At least 80% of food locally-sourced - At least 80% organic food - Bed sheets changed on request - Composting - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Recycling - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 600 square feet - Vegan dining options - Vegetarian dining options ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions An adult age 18 or older must assume all liability for the booking The host will greet guests on arrival You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Access methods Host will greet you ### Pets Pets allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 2 total pets ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Read the articles and booklets about the place! It was hand built by the owner over 10 years with art and architectural pieces collected from around the world over the course of his lifetime. Absolutely fascinating and incredible. ##### Lolo S. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Flo F. Nov 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Carmel Stay This is one of the most unique places that we have ever stayed at and we thoroughly enjoyed the serene vibe that it brings. The architecture, vintage artifacts, gardens, statues and design is extremely enchanting and dreamy! The only downfall was the hot tub; it wasn't what we expected and no instructions were provided on how to operate it or if it worked at all? Otherwise, the secluded cottage is a phenomenal place to stay! ##### Flo F. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin H.

Sunny every day (above the fog line) and we mostly stayed at the place. Took some nice hikes. The host was wonderful and we want to go back soon. ##### Niki C.

Oct 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Property with an interesting past Aside from a few outdated listing pictures of the cottage, the experience was pretty magical. Location was perfectly situated between Carmel and Monterey. Access to property was seamless and the host was probably the most interesting man in the world. He was there only when we needed and got to share some great stories. Highly suggest experiencing this for yourself. ##### Chad D. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter M. Nov 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Casita del Hacienda Aguajito Very fine. Furniture inside could’ve been smaller to fit the space, more Persian. And the butcher block for eating table could be replaced by a table where you can fit your knees under. But otherwise, unique and delightfully offbeat. ##### Peter M.

Peterson was amazingly hospitable. His Casita was perfect with a fabulous patio. My Newfie, Linus was treated like royalty. The fire pit and fireplace were wonderfully cozy after a day at the beach. 2 huge screen TVs with all the amenities. My favorite thing was not hearing any traffic, just birds. It was so awesome. This property has so many artifacts and art work. You can tell much love went into this. One could easily spend hours strolling the grounds looking at everything. I want to live there! We will be back. It is also 5 minutes to Carmel and Monterey. ##### Wendi M. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Elaine H. Oct 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### A beautiful Casita This property is so beautiful. The aesthetics outside were delightful. We love Carmel.. we would like to see the owner update the listing, because there was no outdoor tub that was usable. We tried heating up water in a tea pot to warm up some warm water from the Spicket but when we tried to get in it, it was not usable. We also tried to use the little fireplace that they had in there as it was extremely cold at night, but the fireplace wouldn’t keep a fire going. I guess because it hadn’t been cleaned properly. We were able to borrow a space heater though, and that helped tremendously. We were also disappointed that there were not Arabian horses there the owner told us that they had to move them to a different property because of the dry dust. ##### Elaine H.

Jun 6, 2017 #### Peaceful retreat I could spend days on the back patio - so beautiful and peaceful. The cottage is very private with a separate driveway, but you can see the main house up the hill so you don't feel totally isolated. 10 minute drive to Carmel (but you may not want to leave the fire pit!). Super comfy bed, well equipped kitchen, tons of art from around the world. Everything you need. ##### Dana Z.

Katy's Place for breakfast and Mission Ranch for dinner with a walk up to Jack's Peak from the property to keep down the weight gain between eateries. ##### John M.

It is located on a large estate with other homes, but you cannot see them or hear other people. We really enjoyed our time here - built fires in the fire pit on the back patio, cooked breakfast and dinner here every day (there is a very nice Viking stove and small grill out back), and just relaxed. The estate is amazing and filled with beautiful artifacts and pieces of art everywhere you look. We will definitely be back. ##### Colleen N.
