Even though the weather was challenging, the house was solid and warm and comfortable, especially with the two fireplaces.

It is truly perfect for our family. So comfortable. We had four adults and two small children. Both the house and yard were exactly what we needed. We are from the East Coast, while our son and his family live in San Francisco. The Acornhas already become part of our family tradition. We are hoping to return many times in the future. Point Lobos state park, right across the road on the ocean, is spectacular. Sincere thanks to the Whisler family for making the Acorn available for guests! ##### Gregory W.

I take an annual golf trip with 7 other men, We look for a place where we can relax, chat and eat together in a low key environment. This home really filled the bill! It easily accommodated 8 of us. The large well stocked kitchen with a table for 8 in front of a large fireplace was the perfect area for breakfast and dinner. After dinner we convened in the living room, also in front of a roaring fire. It was a bit chilly during our stay so we didn't get to spend as much time outside enjoying the grounds as we would have liked. Expansive decks with an amazing view of the California coast from Point Lobos to Santa Cruz would make for the ideal place to unwind with a glass of wine and share time with friends or family. During our stay the owners of the property were very helpful. The home is well appointed. Our group left looking for reasons to return. ##### Scott R.

The house has a large LR, dining room, master bedroom. The other three bedrooms are small but did accommodate 6 people. We loved the outdoor spaces and the two horses who would come to the edge of the lawn (fenced) to visit. The views from the house are gorgeous and it was hard to leave them today. The fireplaces were wonderful at heating the LR and dining areas in the morning. The owners let us bring our two King Charles dogs at an extra cost. They enjoyed their stay as well. You are across the Highway from Point Lobos so it’s an easy walk for those inclined 4 of our group walked over. The three year old won’t go in a stroller so we went to the park instead. You are 2 miles from the Carmel Crossroads shops and restaurants and another 5-10 minutes into Carmel proper. There are three beaches that are a short distance away. Pebble Beach is probably 20 minutes by the time you navigate Carmel. Easy for a wonderful lunch and great views of the golf course. I can add more later Susan and Robert Crist ##### SUSAN C.

Location, all of the cool things about the home itself, the view,-just everything!! It was so easy to get to so many locations that we wanted to visit--the beach, Carmel, Monterey, etc. We LOVED it, and would go back in a minute! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derrik E. 2 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Amazing property.
