Charming Cottages

“The older style cottages at the Inn are absolutely adorable and comfortable. Even though some floors creek, the rooms are equipped with clean beds and cozy bathrooms, with fireplaces in select accommodations. I loved sitting on the back porch, soaking in the peaceful garden view where I could enjoy my morning coffee while watching the wildlife.” view full review

Cozy Atmosphere

“I had the pleasure of staying in the Carmel HideAway room, and I must say, it was just the right amount of cozy. Initially, I thought it might feel cramped, but once I settled in, the charming decor and comfortable bed made it the perfect escape. I slept like a baby and couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere to unwind after a long day.” view full review

Delicious Breakfast

“While the breakfast at the Inn is light with just coffee and croissants, I found a good bakery just a short walk from the Inn offering fresh pastries like scones and almond bear claws. This allowed me to experience the local favorite treats, adding a delicious touch to my mornings!” view full review

Clean and Inviting

“The bathrooms in the cottages are simple yet well-kept. I appreciated the cleanliness and freshness during my stay, which is always a significant factor for me when traveling. After exploring Carmel, it was nice to return to a relaxing bathroom to freshen up.” view full review
