Hidden gem with a pool and hot tub. The rooms are spacious and clean. It’s away from the main road which is nice but walking distance to the area with all the tasting rooms. Definitely going to return.

The staff was very helpful and directed me to some good areas to see in Carmel. Also the staff was very responsive to questions as they came up. The internet connection was intermittent for the television but that was minor. All good and I would recommend staying there.

Cozy, clean, and quiet place to stay. After a long day of hiking was hoping to sit in the hot tub, it wasn’t hot as we thought it would be. Other than that, loved the coffee and bagels in the morning. I would stay here again.

Clean, decent coffee for breakfast. After we learned there's bagels and cream cheese we went to a local grocery to get smoked salmon, baby greens, tomato and our next breakfast was truly royal! We also grabbed a fresh lemon from a lemon tree that grows on front of our patio there.

Quick check in with a nice large room. Pool, hot tub and a great view. Complementary coffee/tea with croissants was nice as well. Only issue is the wifi was really poor in our room, so couldn't use the smart tv without a hot spot.

First of all, the staff is amazing. Very thoughtful, kind and welcoming. The rooms are clean, and have been decorated nicely. I always feel a little iffy when traveling on my own. I felt very safe. The coffee and yogurt and light breakfast in the morning was very nice, and the ability to fill water bottles for hikes was great. It goes unsaid that when you have to get ice bags and bottled water, it's time consuming and expensive. It's a great amenity! We will for sure be back! Thank you!
