This is an amazing property up in the mountains of Carmel Valley. It was a great escape and exactly what my family needed. I didn’t realize at the time when I booked this property that there is Carmel Village, Carmel Valley and Carmel By The Sea. I was thinking all 3 places were Carmel By The Sea. This property was about 45 minutes from the beach. Farther than I wanted it to be, but it all worked out. Will definitely look to stay there again in the future! ##### Whitney G.

Mountains, valleys, oak trees, sky, and birds. The house is a bit mixed between rustic and bohemian but it is super clean and has all the modern amenities. It's pretty "out there". The road to the property (as described) is winding. I don't know if I'd use it as a jump off point for Monterey and surrounding attractions. However, if you are looking for peace, quiet, and relative privacy....this is a pretty amazing spot. ##### James A. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette G.

The property manager was responsive and our Thanksgiving week was truly magical. It is a destination spot and I'm glad we paid attention to the advice to bring all the food we'd need for our stay. The kitchen is very well appointed! And the fact that I could have my dog with me made it absolutely perfect. You really won't want to leave. The decks, the view, hot tub, fireplace, pool, etc etc etc. I could go on and on. Thank you! ##### Annette G. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Elliott F. Oct 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous Setting The home appears to have been pieced together by an individual with amateur building skills. This enhances the quaintness and rustic quality but if the pictures lead you to think this is top shelf you will want to try something else. Aside from some strange level changes and a toilet that does not fit a six foot person (No Knee room) it was really lovely with tremendous mild weather and country silence. Hot tubbing while looking at the hills and clouds is highly recommended ##### Elliott F.

Such a spectacular setting! The cottage is well appointed and very clean. A soak in the hot tub enjoying the stunning view was the perfect after-marathon activity before going off to Cafe Rustica for a superb birthday dinner. Love the dining room addition and kitchen remodel. The kitchen is supplied with everything one needs for cooking. Eating outside on the deck was a treat, as was the outdoor fire pit. The nightly frog serenade was wunderbar. Can't say enough about how great our weekend was. ##### Terry S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew W., Redwood City Jun 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Escape My wife, son and I recently enjoyed a great, relaxing stay here in Carmel Valley with my parents. The property was laid out really well for our group and we spent the majority of the time enjoying the outside grounds, in particular the pool area. Temperatures were pretty high the week we were there, however the tips provided by the host helped us keep the house cool and comfortable throughout the stay. Although the property is off the beaten path a bit (which I believe to be a huge plus), we easily enjoyed dinner each night down in the village at several great restaurants. We saw quite a bit of wildlife on the grounds - turkeys, birds, deer and even a skunk (luckily not too close) and loved seeing all of the stars from the deck and hot tub at night. Altogether a great stay, and I would highly recommend it! ##### Andrew W. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Larisa R., PALO ALTO Oct 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Beautiful Location Everything was very nice, except for the pool. It wans't heated. We were disapointed since the pool was the mail attraction, and the reason we picked that house over other houses. And the email questions were not answered. ##### Larisa R.

Jun 29, 2016 #### Great summer getaway Shared this home with our children and grandchildren. While it's a long way up the mountain it's well worth the drive. In every direction there are beautiful views and it's so quiet, you really feel you're in a private place. Everything we needed was at the home (except food). They even had pool toys which our grandkids loved. We took our small dog who loved exploring the grounds and chasing lizards. We had fresh flowers from the perennial garden in every room. We were able to take day trips to the beach and a whale watching excursion. But the grandkids were happiest in the pool, hunting lizards and eating popsicles on the patio deck. ##### Linda W.
