"Much better than usual chain hotel breakfast. Lovingly run by a family. Walking distance to the quaint Carmel valley village. We had a refreshing stay as family of four. Spacious rooms and beautiful gardens."
"Restaurant closed at 7:00; and prices are way too pricey for the scale of the property; cafe had only 2 sandwiches. Rooms have no TV/cell service; plain Jane; need upgrading. "
"Quick check in with a nice large room. Pool, hot tub and a great view. Complementary coffee/tea with croissants was nice as well.
Only issue is the wifi was really poor in our room, so couldn't use the smart tv without a hot spot."
"This home is quite unique. It's big, funky, and the backyard is stunning. Lovely pool, amazing location, walk to town, gorgeous garden, great parking. However, it's dark, really dark, and most elements of the home are very tired (furniture, carpet, stone, tile, etc). The kitchen is really tiny for such a huge home, and it was very difficult to cook with another person in the kitchen. We had a wonderful time with family, yet I never found a comfortable place to sit inside the house. I did enjoy the backyard furniture. There was almost no water pressure in the shower; getting into the main bed was a challenge in itself (it's so high). I never felt good in the house or with the decision to rent this big, expensive place... I would not recommend this home with so many other options at this price point. But if what you want is the perfect garden, pool, etc... this is the place for you."

"Gorgeous setting. Fantastic rooms. Plenty to do. Quiet. Excellent food. A great escape. The check in process left a lot to be desired. But once checked in, it was wonderful. "
