Relaxing stay in great location

This is our second time staying in this cabin. We love the location; a short walk to Carmel Village. The house is comfortable and the fact that we can bring our two dogs and know they have access to a fenced yard is an added bonus. We will be back.

About the host

Host profile image
Local business owner, passionate traveler and animal lover. Fascinated with meeting people from all over and looking forward to meeting you and opening up my cozy retreat for your enjoyment to make your time on the beautiful Monterey Peninsula memorable.

Why they chose this property

Creating this cabin retreat was a fun project and a quest for me. I drew inspiration from travels to wild places and I strove to bring beautiful elements of the outdoors and nature inside.

What makes this property unique

A cabin atmosphere in an exquisite area of California. Perfect for those who love wine tasting, as there are 11 wine tasting rooms within walking distance, as well as only a 20 minute ride to Carmel By the Sea, and only 30 minutes to Monterey's Cannery Row, Pebble Beach and other Monterey Peninsula attractions.
