Lovely property in a nice setting. I especially appreciated the option to book a room with 2 Cali king beds and a separate room for our family of 4. The pool area was nice and the breakfast options were fresh and delicious. The garden area was especially pretty.

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.
