About this property

Carmel Cozy Cottage, close to everything Carmel!

"The Folly" is conveniently located to downtown Carmel, the Carmel Mission, and just a brief walk to Carmel beaches and the Mission Trails Park, or perhaps even a longer (but enjoyable!) walk around the coast via the Meadows Trail to Point Lobos State Park. This is a one-of-a-kind custom-built open beam post adobe cabin offering an open (split level) floor plan. The upper level is the bedroom and bathroom, which overlooks the lower level of the living room, dining area and kitchen. Quiet, private, romantic, and outside a porch overlooks a large and secure private yard for the kids (or doggies), it is uniquely Carmel. Furnished with fine antiques, books, bikes, and a fully furnished kitchen, the Folly anticipates everything you might need for a special stay. Clean, quiet and cozy, the Folly offers maximum privacy and space, including secure off-street parking, a large lawn area and private patio. You won't find anything quite like it for a truly unique and conveniently located accommodation while visiting Carmel-by-the-Sea.

We loved our stay at the Folly! Curt is an excellent host and quick to respond to messages. The cottage is charming and cozy with eclectic antique decor. Location is great for a short drive to the heart of Carmel or a walk through Mission Trail park. Thanks Curt for a great trip!

Curt was an excellent host. Very attentive. The power in town was out for much of the trip but there was a backup generator. Very cute and cozy cottage.

Wonderful, highly recommend! My husband and I, along with our daughter and small dog, stayed at Carmel Cozy Cottage for 2 nights. The cottage itself is so warm and unique in character, with an enclosed front yard for our dog. We walked to the Mission Trail Park, and took a short drive to the village of Carmel and the beautiful shoreline. Would definitely stay here again.

Sofa beds hurt, but overall it was fine

It’s an open plan, I slept in the sofa bed, no sofa bed is comfortable ever. It is “walking distance to everything” if you like to hike. Otherwise a beautiful setting and close to town

The Folly

Pros: Great location. Near the beach, Carmel Main Street, shopping, trails, Monterey and 17 mile drive. Owner is very responsive..excellent communications. Offered to assist us in any way Great fenced front yard, excellent if you have pets. We had dogs and they enjoyed the yard immensely Cons:Double bed…although very comfortable it is small. The air in the house was musty and stale when we arrived. We kept windows open and fan in living area going the entire time and it seemed to help air out the place We enjoyed our stay. Took evening strolls at Mission Trail Park every evening with the dogs and hiked a short trail at Garland Ranch Regional Park

Overall, nice stay at convenient location. The host, Curt, is nice, welcoming, and fast email response. He lives on premise. I deduced 1 star since there could be room for improvement. There was blanket and sheets folded, but had hair all over it. Bathroom lacked TP after the hanging roll was over. There was used shampoo bottles, samples from hotels. Frig had bottle of used wine. Hope the future has improvements.
