    It was such a magical place full of restaurants, wineries, and cute cafes. I especially enjoyed the community vibe there. The community park, the history center and the library were nice surprises. It was neat to learn a bit of history about the village. My kid loved it too.

    Beautiful weather and location - reasonable distance from SF for a nice getaway. Wish we could have organized a horseback riding trip or something but couldn't get my act together... need to reserve several days in advance.

    We mostly drove up here to see Big Sur but ended up spending some time in Carmel Valley. We were only here for one morning so we grabbed some coffee and breakfast from Cafe Luna (which was great) and we took the 17 mile drive scenic drive along the coast and made all the stops along the way. They give you a pamphlet upon entering the park, which costs $10.50. It was worth it!

    Carmel Valley is a lovely, picturesque town from which it is easy to get to Monterey and Carmel by the Sea. There are lovely hiking trails nearby. We especially enjoyed the Garland Ranch Park just down the road which has many trails of all levels of difficulty (walking and biking). There are numerous restaurants in Carmel Valley and the three we tried were all excellent (Cafe Rustica, Thai Village, Trailside Cafe). Great coffee and pastries at the Wild Goose Cafe too. BTW the picture for Carmel Valley is a bit misleading as it shows the coast on the Monterey Peninsula which is 17 miles away but easily accessible.

    Everything is so easy to access.

    Everything is so easy to access. Lots of good casual restaurants and services. The one outstanding shop that caught our attention was Qual & Olive that has a tremendous selection of California olive oils, vinegars and gifts.

    Fabulous hotel in a fantastic location. Attention to detail is above all expectations, from arrival, check-in, to the wonderful room. Many amenities are included, loved the wine and cheese in the room, small details that make an immediate impression. Attentive staff and absolutely manicured everything on the property.

    The room and bed were really spacious. The bathroom needed a bit of TLC but overall it didn’t not affect our stay. The patio with view was lovely to have breakfast on. There were 20+ wine tasting rooms you could walk to from the hotel which were outstanding! Only about a 20 min drive to Carmel by the Sea.

    Sweet little property located in the Carmel valley area. Property is certainly old fashioned in its nature but as long as you are expecting this it is truly charming. Bed was extremely comfortable. Room was lovely with some quaint features such as the fire effect heater and a lovely sitting area.

    The breakfast was served by one person, very limited options. The cheapest paper plates and cups! During our stay no one cleaned our room. The sheets were smelling like old oil.
