Plenty of things to do and see within 1 hour drive in any direction and the small-town charm of the Valley was a nice change of pace. We were able to do all our favorite things we have done in the past from this location with very little time wasted driving. The Monterey Aquarium, Cannery Row, Big Sur, 17-mile drive and of course our favorite restaurants and some new favorites added to the list. So much more depending on what you like but Hiking, beaches, wineries and quaint farmers markets it's all there to be explored with little effort The host gives you a lot of information so even if you don't know the area you will have plenty of information to review to make your stay more enjoyable. ##### Vincent B.

All enjoyed the backyard setting, kayaking, and abundant wildlife and their calls. A true delight and located within proximity of restaurants and gourmet market.

First of all, the host was so kind and helpful. Responded right away and suggested many dog friendly things to do. The Lodge is clean and has everything you could need. Fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, bedding and great smelling soaps and lotions. The location was the best part! The Carmel river is your backyard! It is so quiet and peaceful. We spent every morning out there with our coffee and every evening with a glass of wine. The neighborhood is safe and people are friendly. We will definitely try to go back soon. :) ##### Christina M. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurel N.

We've been to Carmel dozens of times but had no idea this little piece of heaven was just down the road. Carmel Valley is NOT Carmel - it's warm and sunny and quiet, much more natural, super green (even in August) and teeming with birds. "The Lodge" is full of character, easy to hang with the group or find a quiet place to be alone. All the furniture is comfortable, and we had all the creature comforts we needed. The Carmel River is literally in your backyard! We sat on the back patio all day and watched the river slooooowly meander by - when our dogs weren't splashing around in it, that is. We enjoyed the kayaks and inner tubes as well. Courtney, our host, was quick to respond and provided a ton of useful information about the area. Cannot recommend this home highly enough, and we will certainly be back! ##### Laurel N. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam Y.

The location is absolutely stunning—tucked away in a peaceful setting with the soothing sound of the river just steps away. Mornings on the porch with a cup of coffee and evenings by the fire pit were highlights of my stay.The host (Courtney) is so friendly and very supportive throughout the stay, always checking to see if we needed anything.The house is just a few minutes away from Carmel village, and we ate the juiciest strawberries and avocados for a quarter of the price in LA metro.

The home has plenty of space, lots of light, and a lovely, meandering riverside garden with wonderful terraces and decks overlooking the Carmel River.

When we were there, there was a huge hail storm but we were able to watch from inside with all the big windows and the fire on. The bunk room is a fun little touch, and the gals that slept in it said it was the best sleep of their life. It gets total darkness and really peaceful. The owner was really responsive and helpful during our stay. We had a few questions, and she was also proactive in reaching out to us to make sure we were all set. Our favorite part was the "fun hat" cabinet. :-) ##### Anna B. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nealy J.

The location was amazing, the house was clean and beautifully decorated with a vintage flair. Courtney was so kind and easy to communicate with. Having a spot right on the river was so fun. It was too cold to swim but that didn’t stop our girls and pups from enjoying it. The location is so close to downtown and easy to get to great hikes nearby. Courtney has information and places to go and places to eat at the home. The bunk beds are in a shed outside but so fun. We bunked with our kids in it one night and were pleasantly surprised at the fact that we were warm enough and slept well. There are walkie talkies to use also if needed for the bunk shed. Loved our stay and planning on coming back. ##### Nealy J.

Courtney was excellent with communication and suggestions of restaurants, hikes and points of interest in the area. The Lodge was better than presented. Our family of four (boys 12 & 16) all enjoyed the river, relaxing and sightseeing. We went to Big Sur, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey(including the Aquarium)…our favorite as a family was Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. My older son and husband enjoyed golfing at Spy Glass and Spanish Bay! Then we watched the Bagpiper at Spanish Bay later that night from Roy’s at Pebble Beach.

Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean Jul 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Beautiful and quiet riverfront property in a charming neighborhood. The kids played all day on the kayak and floating on inner tubes. The remodeled kitchen was perfect for making big communal meals, which we enjoyed on the terrace overlooking the Carmel River. The host, Courtney, did a beautiful job furnishing the house with curious antiques and knick-knacks. It was such a lovely and relaxing vacation. ##### Sean Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ray S.

Don't miss out! Anytime you can bring the kids and throw them in the river, which is in your backyard, see deer while having coffee and be surrounded by bird calls it's a haven and a memory builder at the same time. This place is beautiful and Courtney is so welcoming and attentive. My family won't ever forget this stay. ##### Ray S. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas K.

The bunk room is in a shed outside. The VRBO is FULLY stocked! All supplies, knives, cooking utensils, spices, ketchup, mustard, etc is there which is rare. The host is very responsive and provides recommendations to everything in the area. Our whole group was very happy with the location and house. ##### Thomas K.

The river was high so we could not kayak, but would love to come back. It was a little chilly, but we all still enjoyed the view with the fireplace. It was not far from Big Sur - that is what we were looking for. Host was great! ##### molly b.
