Wonderfully positioned cottage-like inn that is tucked away from the busier, yet quaint, part of downtown Carmel. The staff was friendly, the breakfast was simple but good, and the location just a couple blocks away from shops, wine tastings, and restaurants. We loved our time spent there.

Relaxing stay

This was our second stay with the Carmel Country Inn and we enjoyed just as much as the first time. The breakfast is delicious, and we love the goodies/snacks that they have available all day. The walk into town is a little arduous with the hill up and down, and uneven pavement, but I'm a little old and out of shape so it won't matter for those that are younger.
