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

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.

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.

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
