A cozy and quiet place to stay.
The location was nice, a bit far to walk downtown at night. It was nice to have a parking space next to the cottage (no stairs) too. I didn’t care for the bed pillows and wish I had brought my own pillow instead. Otherwise it was fine.

This is a quaint, rustic Inn that fits the image of Old Carmel. I love that it is rustic as the homes around it fit into the same quaintness of the area. For us, it’s the perfect getaway to Carmel, not fancy but quaint and rustic.

Such a cute little inn close to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea. Love that it's dog friendly! I will stay here again... the only thing that could improve is either having a water refill station or a vending machine to purchase water.

Nice property for family. We had a two room suite and it was like an apartment. It's an older property and it shows but bed and bedding were good. Appreciate the LVF floors. Clean. Walking distance to downtown Carmel. Quiet. Individual units. Parking right next to unit. Would stay here again.

The good things- quiet & clean, safe area
Room for improvement- no AC- zero landscaping- very old rooms- beds are very firm, all furniture should be replaced for the cost per night.
