Cute little guest house with absolutely stunning views of the valley. Easy check in. Quick drive to Carmel by the Sea for shopping and eats. Great access to Big Sur. Would stay again!

Enjoyed my quiet time in the guest cottage. It was warm without ac but so beautiful. I wish the bedding was more upscale and hotel like. Other than that, it was perfect!

This was the third time I have stayed here - and have loved it each and every time. Easy access to all we need while in the Carmel Valley - private and secure - phenomenal views and love the bathroom and shower! Clean, well appointed, loved sitting on the deck in the AM with a cup of coffee and evenings with a glass of wine! Will be back!

The photos are accurate. But the property is pretty dirty (outside). Cobwebs everywhere. The deck and railing are old, the lights barely illuminate the steps. Directions are incomplete - there are two low stone walls. Inside is as described. Two windows are pretty stuck and without screens.

We had a great stay here for an impromptu trip to Carmel. Rogers was great about accommodating us on short notice. House is exactly as listed. Except the view is even better in person. We woke up and had tea outside and did yoga on the deck. Not even 5 minutes from Garland reserve which was a great hike, 25 from Point Lobos, 20 from Carmel by the sea. I would gladly book again.

Expected to have at least coffee and paper products to start stay. Large window in walk in shower lacked feeling of privacy. Heater / exhaust fan extremely noisy. Small screen television. Bed linens were well used. Nice location , perfect space and amenities for a couple. Would be perfect with a few upgrades. We would consider renting here again.

Quaint Getaway, Helpful Owners!

My friend and I had a great time during our stay! We were provided with very intricate directions to the guest house because the neighborhood in general is very secluded. It is a beautiful area and I was able to take in the area by going on some nice morning jogs. The owners live on the property in the main house, and are very accessible if need be. We ran out of soap our first night, and they made sure to leave a replacement bottle outside of our door in the morning. Super responsive and kind! Would definitely recommend!

We stayed here several years ago and enjoyed it then and on our return. The listing and the pictures are very accurate. There is a great view from the living room and the spacious deck. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is very nice. It is over the garage of the main house but very private. The kitchen is small but functional (I wouldn't get too ambitious but fine for breakfast or a light meal). Location is very convenient to the village. The on-site owner was very helpful and dealt immediately with an issue that we had on our arrival. We hope to stay here again.

We stayed over the weekend at this guest house with beautiful view, it is very quiet and relaxing. The house is clean and has everything you need to make coffee or dinner. There are many good but a bit pricey restaurants around the corner. We also liked gorgeous living room with so much light and spacious bathroom. We would love to come back.

Everything was as advertised and portrayed. Comfortable home, well maintained and had everything we needed to manage breakfast and snacks at home... We slept great and really enjoyed sitting in the living room and looking out onto those gorgeous hills. It was quiet for sleeping and private, set a little bit away from the main house. We were able to find many great local restaurants, and it was an easy ride to Monterey, Seaside and many wineries.. We even had an amazing day at Yosemite, about a four hour drive. I would happily stay here again.

Spectacular views but in need of much TLC!

Spectacular views but in need of much TLC!

Although the views from this guesthouse are spectacular and it is located in a very quiet area this rental is in need of some definite TLC which becomes obvious especially if you rent for more than a few days, we rented for two full weeks. The rental has a general musty odor that never cleared up as every day when we departed and arrived back…the musty odor was still quite apparent. There was a dank smell coming from the kitchenette sink. The refrigerator is an under counter small refrigerator that was in desperate need of the freezer section being defrosted as the ice cube trays could barely fit in it. All linens, bed sheets and towels, had a very sour musty smell that even after staying 2 weeks and being provided a second set of linens by week 2 still had the sour musty smell. The bedroom linens are in desperate need of replacement as they are worn out and barely fit the bed. The bed pillows are flat foam pillows which also have a distinct foul odor. There are no screens on the four bedroom windows making it difficult to allow fresh air in for any length of time. The lighting in the great room is not sufficient to read by while sitting on the couches nor to do computer work at the dining table. The hanging slider door to the bathroom is not easy to move and could us a handle of some sort. All carpeting needs cleaned as well as the upholstered dining room chairs. The closet has an odd cupboard installed across the middle which prevents the ability to hang a pair of slacks. The closet was stocked with only 5-6 wire hangers. Be aware that this rental is built above the owners three car garage, we were woken up by a loud racket a few mornings at 6:45am when someone departed and the garage door went up and down right under the bedroom. We did not contact the owner during our stay as we felt many of the fixes would have been intrusive and taken some time to repair. We did make contact after our stay and requested some compensation but were denied such. The owner did appreciate our feedback. Unfortunately, this rental is in need of some real attention and maintenance not just housekeeping services after each guest. We are baffled by all the positive reviews – the place has potential, its location is outstanding, but a 5-star accommodation it is not. For the past 17 years, we have rented from VRBO/HomeAway all over the USA and abroad and have left many positive reviews. However, this was not one that we could leave such a positive review.

Nice updated guest house but some issues need to be addressed. Would give 3.5 stars if allowed.

Overall the place was nice, but we had some disappointing issues. The guest house is updated and has beautiful views. I emailed the owner the day of to let him know that we were looking forward to our stay. He immediately responded stating he was looking forward to accommodating us. With that said, when we arrived everything was closed up and uninviting. The rental was a little musty with lots of cobwebs and spiders. Once we opened it up and got some fresh air and cleaned up cobwebs, it was much better. The biggest problem was the rodent in the wall at night. It woke me up at 2 am on the first night and kept me up until 3 am on the second night. It was horribly loud. It was squeaking, chewing and digging all night in the bedroom. I notified the owner that morning and have not received any response since. The bathroom is very nice and updated. The bed is comfortable. Pillows are flat as pancakes. If you like fluffy pillows, you may need to bring your own. We rented the house to go to a wedding. We had dresses and suites and the closet has a shelf in it that does not allow you to hang a dress or suite. The living space is comfortable and provides amazing views. The kitchenette is nice and clean. Bring your own coffee. There is a coffee maker but limited amount of coffee grounds in a jar. It's a great location. It's a quick drive to the restaurants and wineries in the village. It's also a short drive to get a massage and breakfast at the Carmel Valley Ranch. I have rented dozens of homes on VRBO all over the country and out of the country. 99% of the time I have given extremely positive 5 star reviews. I was disappointed that I did not receive a response in regards to my sleepless nights due to the loud rodent in the wall. Had I received a response, I would have given a higher rating. I wish I could have given a higher rating and a better review.

Quiet, restful, with extraordinary view!

My daughter and I stayed four nights! The rental is a great home base for exploring the town of Carmel with cute shops and restaurants. We also spent time in Carmel Valley Village tasting wine and picnicking with sandwiches from a local store. We spent our evenings out on the deck looking at beautiful hills and listening to wildlife. Nights were chilly but the rental had blankets so we could stay warm in the comfortable chairs on the deck. It was so relaxing watching the sun set. The rental had everything we needed to enjoy a light meal, share a bottle of wine and reconnect in a beautiful setting. Even the bathroom brings a back to nature experience! We loved our stay!
