Great place with a friendly host

We stayed here for 3 nights during a 3.5 week trip which included 7 different accommodations. This one was voted as the family favorite! We saw deer on the hill from the livingroom, relaxed in the hot tub, had restful sleeps, and the place had so much character! We can't wait to come back!!

Wonderful oasis

Robert was an excellent host - he met us when we arrived, showed us around the property, made sure we knew how to contact him and left us to enjoy our stay. The 2 bedrooms were perfect for us and our teenage daughter. The home is situated well for visits to monterey, big sur and santa cruz. Salinas and Laguna Seca are just down the road. And the hot tub is wonderful after a day of hiking.

Perfect!

What a lovely place! We stayed for three nights, to be close to a large cycling event held nearby. The home was wonderfully clean, delightfully cozy, so comfortable, and the property was just beautiful. Robert, our host, was helpful and kind and we loved his pup, Lily! Thank you so much for a perfect weekend!

Amazing!

Beautiful, quaint, solitude. My husband and 2 children just stayed 4 nights here at Robert's place and couldn't have been happier. It is a short 20 minutes to Monterey and Carmel. We had the best of both worlds; the trees and the ocean! We have stayed in downtown Monterey in past trips but wanted to change it up this stay and I am so happy we did. We can't wait to come back to this little piece of paradise.

Wonderful setting, unsanitary guest house

The location of this rental is beautiful and just as stated in the VRBO rental listing. However the property itself was unsanitary with stains on the bedding, pillows, and mattress pad. There was black mold in the skylight and in the shower. Clearly the property had not been cleaned throughly throughout the home. We were only able to tolerate it one night as the property owner did not meet us at check-in so we could have a walkthrough with him. We have contacted both the peoperty owner and VRBO to request a refund for part of the week. The owner claims the property was clean and refuses a refund. In 20 + years of renting through VRBO we have never seen a property so unclean.

Beautiful Setting, Great Location

We had a great stay at this house the week between Christmas and New Year's! The owners kindly left us a bottle of wine and a tin of Christmas cookies. The house is in a perfect location--out the bedroom windows, you look out onto hills and mountains and trails. You can get to the trails right from the house, though it's a very steep climb up and down. It's also a short drive to Salinas, Monterey, and Carmel, and we also went down to Big Sur one day--all easy (and beautiful) drives from the house. The house has an unusual layout--we rented the upstairs bedroom only, so we had to go downstairs to shower, and the common area only has one small seat, so we hung out upstairs in the bedroom (it also has a TV) most of the time. The kitchen is minimal--a fridge, hot plate, and microwave (no stove or oven.) We also found the heat a little hard to regulate--it was cold at night when we were there, and the upstairs was nice and warm but the downstairs was still chilly. All in all, it was a great trip and I recommend the house!

Great stay in Monterey

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cute guest house. It is definitely nestled back in the mountains but it is very sweet and peaceful! We stayed here for 7 nights and ventured out to Carmel, Big Sur, Monterey, and Pinnacles Natonal Park. The trip to Monterey is very quick and easy. Robert and Vicki were very accommodating, we had everything we needed and they were available via phone or text, any time we needed them! The house is very close in proximity to their home, but we were not bothered or felt awkward at any time. This cute little house was perfect for our group of 4. We were comfy and cozy. Note though that there is no centrally located living room. There are tv's in each room so it felt slightly cut off from each other. But after long days out and about it was not bad going to our rooms and having separate tv's! All in all our stay was great! We really appreciate all that Robert and Vicki provided for us! If we were to return we'd definitely cosnider staying here again if our circumstances allow! Thanks again!

A nice property to relax

We really enjoyed our short Thanksgiving getaway here. It’s 20ish minutes away from Monterey downtown and Carmel, so there are many cool things to do and nice restaurants nearby. It is also tucked away from the busy downtown so it’s quiet and close to the nature. The property managers Robert and Vicki are easy to communicate. Thank you for the great experience! Recommend!!

Truly a relaxing getaway

Wonderful 2 bedroom hone converted from a carriage house. Imaginatively decorated and fun atmosphere, Loved the hot tub and the quiet.. We were a bit further away from Carmel than we had anticipated but thoroughly enjoyed the stay, the owner, and the set up. One bathroom but the two bedrooms worked well for two women friends.

A Wonderful Time

I had to come to the Monterey area for work (Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance) and was at a lose where to stay having never been there before. Hotels and accommodations around Monterey were packed and I did not want the chaos of traffic and congestion. This home exceeded my expectations. It was so beautiful and quiet and after a long day at events with people, a sanctuary. It was well maintained and everything posted about it was accurate and true. Great communication with owners and I could not have been happier. Thank you!

Wonderful visit

We loved every minute of our stay in the house. It was the perfect size for our family of four. We truly enjoyed the quiet of the area and the beautiful outdoor garden area. We cooked meals each night and played UNO in the little living space. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone headed to the area.

relaxing getaway

Our family had a lovely time at this cottage which is located up in the hills but still a convenient 15 min from Monterey. We enjoyed the hot tub and patio area immensely. It was fun to see foxes and deer right nearby the cottage! Be aware there is limited cell service there, so pull up the check-in instructions before you arrive.
