Ranches in Carmel Valley

"Stayed here four years ago and loved it. Came back this time for our anniversary, let the front desk know the occasion upon arrival. Resort didn’t make any gestures to make the occasion special the entire stay. I let the front desk know that the glass divider for the shower had a large crack running through it. There was a stain on the bench at the in room dining table and the outdoor fireplace wasn’t working. The resort was not busy. The only offer provided was to move us into a room with a less desirable view. I declined, they completely ignored the inoperable outdoor fireplace for three days. Calling room service often took 2-3 calls to get someone to answer the phone. The stay was underwhelming. For this price I’ve had better experiences and service. We also traveled with our kids. At times it felt like we were at a 60+ resort, did not feel family friendly. "

"Kala is the best and the rooms are very cute. "

"Loved the room and personal card"

"We had an amazing stay! The home was clean, spacious, and full of cozy nooks for reading and relaxing. Even with cold, rainy weather, the heated tile floors were a godsend, and our 96-year-old father could navigate the property easily.The kitchen was well-stocked with quality cookware and dishes, making cooking simple and enjoyable. We loved the hot tub—even in the rain—and the cute workspace/gaming area was a fun bonus.The location was perfect—within walking distance to restaurants and wineries, and ideal for day adventures to Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea. The property managers were professional, responsive, and quick to help with any questions or troubleshooting, making the stay seamless.Highly recommend this property for comfort, convenience, and a cozy, accessible experience. We would gladly return!"

"The location was quiet and secluded, which was great. We were three couples, and having three full bathrooms was very convenient. Communication with the owner was quick and easy, and they kindly explained how to use everything in the house, so there were no inconveniences.The view from the house was also really nice, and the amenities were well-equipped."

"Amazing house and great place to go with large group of friends. There is a guest house (RV) listed as a separate property so plan accordingly. Other than that great hosts and were very accommodating!"

"Perfect riverside bliss"

"Loved staying at Holman Ranch! Very quiet, beautiful and filled with cool wildlife! Would definitely come back. "

"The place was nice and clean, but a lot more remote than we realized. If you are looking for a place to really get away and unwind, it is a good pick. Bring all your food in so you don’t have to drive back out. If you are looking for a place as a home base for Carmel and the vicinity, it is a long winding drive. "
