Perfect Getaway with Amazing Hosts and Fun Amenities!

Our stay was absolutely perfect! The property was amazing, both inside and out. Rich and his wife were incredibly kind and welcoming hosts, making us feel right at home. The location was unbeatable—convenient and surrounded by beautiful scenery. Our family especially loved the open floor plan, the pool table, foosball table, and the outdoor grill. We would love to go back again!

Beautiful spot for a family getaway

We couldn’t have been more comfortable or relaxed, and enjoyed the beautiful property and views. The space was fun for my 10 year old son and in walking distance to great beach views and hikes, and a short drive to Carmel’s village. Wonderful hosts and an excellent property!

Fantastic Carmel Stay

What a great place and location! The remodeled barn was spacious, comfortable, stylish and unique! Perfect for our family of five. My husband and I did beautiful morning walks while the teens slept in. One day we explored Point Lobos and saw breathtaking views of bird island and the next day we walked through the nearby beach and found an ocean trail to Carmel River Beach. It's just a few minutes drive to downtown Carmel as well. The hosts were wonderful and even brought us some hay to feed the adorable cows before we left. Highly recommend!

Carmel Birthday

The property is a large, comfortable, nicely decorated informal single space in a pastoral setting. Interior featured a kitchen area with counter, all the necessary appliances, dining table, lounging area and large flat screen TV (total of 3), separate bathroom with shower, electric piano, pool table and foosball table, and has large windows/sliding glass doors facing HWY 1 and ocean in distance. Location is great with easy access to all areas without feeling the closeness of city living. Minutes to grocery store, Carmel Mission, and restaurants, beach, and scenery of Point Lobos and Carmel Highlands. Adjacent cows and geese were great company.Rich was a superb host, and took an interest in us enjoying our stay. We had a great time and look forward to staying again.

Staying at the barn is such a unique experience. We were able to enjoy S’mores overlooking the ocean, feed and pet miniature highland cows and enjoy everything Carmel and Monterey have to offer. Plus, playing pool kept and foosball kept the kids entertained during any downtime. We’ll definitely be coming back.
