If you are looking to disconnect, escape into nature, and just be with the ones you love, this is the absolute perfect place to book. The property is beautiful and surrounded by stunning trees. Between the pool, hot tub, bocce ball court, and cornhole, there was never a shortage of things to do outside. Check-in was smooth and the host was responsiveness when we had questions or issues. It being a pet-friendly property was also a plus. It was the best escape for our family, and we built so many wonderful memories here.

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.

The pictures of this property do not do it justice! The views from the deck are so stunning, and the house itself is lovely. There were SO many beautiful views and a ton of wildlife. Highly recommend bringing binoculars!We had a group of six and all slept comfortably with one of us using the pull out couch, which is in a small but private and cozy room next to the kitchen. The pull out couch was surprisingly comfortable. I will say, the layout of the house is slightly awkward particularly due to the one bedroom with the angled ceiling and the tight layout of the downstairs bathroom, but it was manageable. My only other note is that we were disappointed that the pool was VERY cold. We made use of the hot tub, which was fantastic, but would have liked to use the pool more as well. There is such a stunning view on that level of the deck.Overall, highly recommend and hope to return in the future!!

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!

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.

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.
