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.

Perfect getaway for R&R

This place is stunning and even the images don’t do this place the Justice it deserves. Mary was an amazing host and very communicative, especially during a challenging weather situation. Highly recommended for those looking for a property to relax, rest and reset!

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!

We had an absolutely amazing time at this property. It was exactly as pictured -- if not better -- and the weather was wonderful. We enjoyed the hot tub, had fun cooking in the kitchen, and slept great in the comfortable beds! Thank you!!

Relaxing stay with stunning views

Such a wonderful property. We're totally in love. It's a distance up the hill, but the views and peace once you arrive are totally worth it. The nearby town is lovely with plenty of great things to do. We'll definitely be back 😀

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.

Nice property

The property is nice and comfortable. We enjoyed pool and hot tub. The carpet is stained could use cleaning. The road driving up is very curvy and a little scary at times. Overall, we were satisfied.

Off the grid vacation

This is a good place to stay, if you are looking for peace and quiet. It was further into the mountains than we had expected, so we only went into Monterey once. Very windy roads took us awhile to get to the property. Perfect for neing with family playing games, reading, and relaxing.

Amazing views

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!

Secluded get away

This property is exactly what it looks like as listed online, if not better. The property is incredibly secluded where you can only see distant vineyards and no neighboring homes. We loved the layout of the property, and the breakout of various rooms and sections of the outdoor area. Heads-up to make sure you look at the location before you get there as the drive is fairly long from Carmel Valley town area with the windy roads!

Beautiful and relaxing getaway in Carmel Valley

Honestly it is an oasis out here. I will say it is a DRIVE to get out to the house but it’s so worth it. Our whole crew of 6 very much enjoyed our trip and were incredibly comfortable. The mornings were a little chilly but it was so easy to warm up post coffee and wrapping ourselves up in the morning. The hot tub and pool were fantastic and had a beautiful view. I even left my iPad behind and the host is helping me retrieve it. Overall a very needed, relaxing weekend.

Peaceful and pretty remote

The property is beautiful and the views are incredible. 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.

Not worth the money

The house has two parts, main house has a living room, kitchen a den and a bed room plus bath on level 2. Second and third bedrooms with one bath are outside the main house and at level 2. Bed room sizes are small and property is dated. View is nice. Would I stay in same property again… No. One does not get value for money spent of nearly $900 per day.

Secluded Paradise

Our family of 7 had a beautiful week here. On arrival, it was fun to explore the property both inside and out. The location is peaceful and beautiful. The home itself was impeccably clean. The bathrooms and kitchen were well appointed with everything we needed. We cooked extensive meals and found the cookware, dishware, and appliances were more than adequate. The beds are very comfortable and cozy. The views are AMAZING. Make sure to wake up early to enjoy the sunrise with the sounds of roosters crowing and turkeys gobbling through the valley. For our 5 children, the pool, hot tub, fire pit, and yard were a hit. This place is equally appropriate for a couple looking for a romantic getaway or a large family like ours hoping for a little adventure. I could go on and on about how much I enjoyed our week here!!

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.
