A good base from which to explore the Carmel region. This is a simple lodge with some great ideas. Breakfast was fresh and healthy. The shop had well priced original local products. The pool was clean and warm. The lodge is well placed for local restaurants and bars. I recommend this lodge to anyone who wants a unique stop over.
