Spacious

The place was great and the room was very spacious. But the linens need to be washed very well to remove the odor.

So charming, but bathrooms could do with updating, and a table for the coffee maker (maybe Keurig?) Love the location and ceiling, beds very comfy.

Located just 10-15mins away from downtown Carmel, it was a pleasant stay with my dog. We stayed here 2 nights and can’t really complain about anything. Reasonable pricing

It was a charming resort. Most are individual cottages--some with a common wall. Easy parking. Very private and quiet. Very convenient with fridge, microwave and table with two chairs. Good Internet (no cell service). I'd stay here again.
