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!

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.
