Beautiful location! Was our second time staying here. Has great fenced yard for my two dogs. They loved exploring the yard looking for squirrels. We saw a lot of wild life from the yard/ house (deer, turkeys, fox and bobcat). They also have corn hole and bocce in the yard. Highly recommend booking this house.

Tranquility

We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful property. It was very well appointed—especially for cooking. The natural surroundings were very peaceful with hiking trails right out the side gate. We did not realize the travel time to Carmel-by-the-Sea, but it was still doable. And for our five adults and family dog, it was the perfect size.

Stunning views

Stayed here with friends for a long relaxing weekend. The property has beautiful views which can’t be beat, and enough comfortable space to keep you happy and entertained. While the road up is long and windy, once you’re there you won’t want to leave, so come prepared. This was our second time staying at this property and I would happily stay here again!

Beautiful, peaceful, comfortable, and private

Our family just loved staying here! It felt like the cross between a Tahoe cabin and Sonoma vineyard. The home is incredibly well stocked; If you arrive with ample groceries, you'll really have no reason to ever leave. The hot tub, with its mountain views, is just lovely. And the house's interior is gorgeous, with many rooms paneled entirely with wood.

Great Carmel Valley Retreat

We love our family get-aways to this secluded pool paradise. There is a separate two bedroom apartment with its own bathroom that the kids claim as their own. The hot tub is perfect for watching the the shadows fall across the valley in the evening. We highly recommend this house!

Awesome property

This is one of our very favorite vacation spots ever. The location is very private, and the view is spectacular. We loved just walking around the expansive property. The house is thoughtfully furnished, inside and out. The floor plan is a bit eccentric, but that just adds to the charm. We are already checking our calendars to schedule a return visit.

Stayed here for our 10 year anniversary with our 2 dogs. The outdoor space was absolutely amazing. The dogs enjoyed exploring the yard every day. Yard is fenced so the dogs had the freedom to roam around and still be near by. Saw lots of birds, squirrels and deer from the property. Weather was great for sun bathing and swimming. Would stay here again and would recommend for anyone traveling with dogs.

Lovely spot for our family gathering!

This house is really quite beautiful, tastefully decorated and so comfortable. We had 7 people and all felt at home. The kitchen was well supplied so we could just hang out and cook and even had all we needed to do some baking. Can’t beat the hot tub and deck under the starry skies and the view of the tree covered hills beyond. Mary was very responsive with any questions we had. Highly recommended!
