"Lovely stay with my son right near downtown Carmel, very walkable to beach and restaurants, good value for price including parking. Easy drive down the coast to Big Sur and Point Lobos. Only downside was the roof construction going on during our stay which we don’t know would be going on, I would come back but ask in advance about any construction. "

"A Hidden Gem Near Sequoia! We had a wonderful stay at this charming little spot near Sequoia. The place is very new, clean, and incredibly comfortable — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the park. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, quiet stay close to nature!"

The host granted us early access (2 hrs early). There are two other vacation rentals on the property that are larger for those that have a larger group. "

Frequently asked questions

What is the nightly rate for a guest house in Central California?
Rates for Central California guest houses vary, but travelers can find great-value prices from $92 with Expedia. A range of factors can affect nightly rates, such as the location, the breakfast offering, and the range of amenities. Travelers looking for a good deal should consider looking for a midweek stay, as weekend rates at Central California guest houses tend to be higher. Remember to also use our filters to sort prices from low to high.
What's the difference between a Central California guest house and a B&B?
A guest house in Central California is typically a larger establishment with more rooms, offering a more hotel-like experience, and may provide additional amenities including luxury bedding. In contrast, a B&B is usually a smaller property that focuses primarily on providing a room and breakfast. A B&B is often more personal, and breakfast is typically included as part of the stay, but other services might be more limited compared to a guest house.
