A cozy and quiet place to stay.
The location was nice, a bit far to walk downtown at night. It was nice to have a parking space next to the cottage (no stairs) too. I didn’t care for the bed pillows and wish I had brought my own pillow instead. Otherwise it was fine.

This is a quaint, rustic Inn that fits the image of Old Carmel. I love that it is rustic as the homes around it fit into the same quaintness of the area. For us, it’s the perfect getaway to Carmel, not fancy but quaint and rustic.
