"We really enjoyed staying at this property. The staff were all kind and professional. The room was well-appointed, and we enjoyed the VIP food credit. The gym facilities were nice, and we also enjoyed our massages at the spa. We would definitely return. Proximity to both Carmel by the Sea and Carmel Valley village were nice. Morning walks and runs from the property were also nice. "

"It was just what we were looking for. A cozy, quiet, little cottage close to Monterey and Pebble Beach. Location was super convenient, right off the main highway. Yet it still felt like it was in the middle of the forest. Beautiful elevated deck overlooking trees. Wifi and tv were fine. No real issues with our stay."
