Parking was adjacent to our cottage. I enjoyed the individual cottage rather than a room in a hotel. Our cottage was spacious with a fireplace. The recliner was so comfortable we felt like we could melt into it. Shopping is a good stretch of the leg if you want to avoid looking for a parking place in Carmel. The seafood was yummy. Watching the Halloween parade downtown Carmel was fun. We had a wonderful time.

It was a charming resort. Most are individual cottages--some with a common wall. Easy parking. Very private and quiet. Very convenient with fridge, microwave and table with two chairs. Good Internet (no cell service). I'd stay here again.

It was fine. You have parking for one car in front of your room, if you have a second car you need to find street parking. The bed/pillows weren't super comfortable, but not horrible. Thankfully there was a portable fan in the room since there is no AC. Location is nice to be close to Carmel without being right downtown

It's a very old property but in working order. Very clean which is great! It's a 15 minute walk from downtown but easier to just drive. Parking was a big plus. Slightly expensive for what you get.

Property is a little old but still charming place. Clean and comfortable. Tight parking but it’s given to be in Carmel.

We used to stay here in the early 2000’s because it was charming and cozy. Somewhere in the last 20 years, it lost its charm. No longer do they leave a cute basket of breakfast on your doorstep. On the plus side, there was a roomy fridge, a microwave, a coffee maker, a fireplace and a dedicated parking spot. However, the bed was like sleeping on marbles and I had bruises on my hips, the shower head was too low, even for me at 5’ 3”, and there was no place to put your clothes in the big bathroom. A couple of throw rugs, a vanity in the bathroom and a foam bed topper would go far to make it comfy again.
