It felt like the cross between a Tahoe cabin and Sonoma vineyard. The home is incredibly well stocked; If you arrive with ample groceries, you'll really have no reason to ever leave. The hot tub, with its mountain views, is just lovely. And the house's interior is gorgeous, with many rooms paneled entirely with wood. ##### Jared S.

This enhances the quaintness and rustic quality but if the pictures lead you to think this is top shelf you will want to try something else. Aside from some strange level changes and a toilet that does not fit a six foot person (No Knee room) it was really lovely with tremendous mild weather and country silence. Hot tubbing while looking at the hills and clouds is highly recommended ##### Elliott F.

Such a spectacular setting! The cottage is well appointed and very clean. A soak in the hot tub enjoying the stunning view was the perfect after-marathon activity before going off to Cafe Rustica for a superb birthday dinner. Love the dining room addition and kitchen remodel. The kitchen is supplied with everything one needs for cooking. Eating outside on the deck was a treat, as was the outdoor fire pit. The nightly frog serenade was wunderbar. Can't say enough about how great our weekend was. ##### Terry S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew W., Redwood City 28 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Escape My wife, son and I recently enjoyed a great, relaxing stay here in Carmel Valley with my parents. The property was laid out really well for our group and we spent the majority of the time enjoying the outside grounds, in particular the pool area. Temperatures were pretty high the week we were there, however the tips provided by the host helped us keep the house cool and comfortable throughout the stay. Although the property is off the beaten path a bit (which I believe to be a huge plus), we easily enjoyed dinner each night down in the village at several great restaurants. We saw quite a bit of wildlife on the grounds - turkeys, birds, deer and even a skunk (luckily not too close) and loved seeing all of the stars from the deck and hot tub at night. Altogether a great stay, and I would highly recommend it! ##### Andrew W. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Linda W. 29 Jun 2016 #### Great summer getaway Shared this home with our children and grandchildren. While it's a long way up the mountain it's well worth the drive. In every direction there are beautiful views and it's so quiet, you really feel you're in a private place. Everything we needed was at the home (except food). They even had pool toys which our grandkids loved. We took our small dog who loved exploring the grounds and chasing lizards. We had fresh flowers from the perennial garden in every room. We were able to take day trips to the beach and a whale watching excursion. But the grandkids were happiest in the pool, hunting lizards and eating popsicles on the patio deck. ##### Linda W. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### catherine v. 2 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spectacular setting Mary is a lovely host - responsive and gracious - and her property is magical. The views are spectacular, and the house is comfortable, clean and abundantly cozy. Its location makes for unparalleled privacy. To reach this Shangri-la be prepared for a miles-long drive on a narrow, winding, mountain road full of sharp switchbacks. The destination is worth any white-knuckle moments; tranquility abounds. This remote retreat is ideally situated for those who don't desire nighttime excursions to town or beyond. The kitchen is well-equipped and the outdoor dining space is gorgeous, so no need to dine out if you shop in advance. One detail to be aware of in chilly months: Space heaters are the heat source for the two rooms attached to the main house, and they cannot be kept on overnight. It wasn't an issue for us; after heating the room prior to bedtime, we were perfectly comfortable in mid-January temps. We would recommend that the binder of house instructions be updated; it contained information that was inaccurate (including wi-fi details). Our stay was short and regretfully we didn't have time to explore this stunning 20-acre property. Would love to return in warmer months to bask in the serenity and to take advantage of the lovely pool. ##### catherine v.

The weather was beautiful during our stay which was also a plus. My only complaints were the remote area and semi-dangerous road if you have a large vehicle..in some spots, only room for one vehicle to go thru. I would never drive Cachagua Road in the dark, but it was definitely listed in the description, so my fault. I live remotely also, so I thought it would be fine, but I did not realize the narrowness of the road. Another thing that I did not see in the description was that the pool was only 3 1/2 feet deep & very small--maybe I missed that? I rent a home every year, mainly for a dog friendly home & the pool only, so that was a disappointment. Our family likes to lap swim & this was not possible. Also, the carpet in the main house upstairs bedroom & downstairs den were not the cleanest, but fine with that because we spent most of our time outside on the beautiful deck by the pool or in the beautiful family room. Pluses, I like the fact that there is an additional frig.in the side room so that you can get all the food you need for a week in advance & never have to leave the house. Also, loved the separate apartment semi-attached to the house so other adults could have privacy. All in all we had a good stay. Only reason I would not stay again is because of the small and shallow pool, but that is a personal preference issue. Thank you for sharing your lovely home. ##### debbie s.

The Native American decor with a splash of other ethnic touches and bohemian fixtures was well-appointed. Our family enjoyed walking to the property line that we could manage on foot. Our dogs appreciated the daily visit of the wild turkeys and explored all parts of the fenced-in areas. The pool was utilized on-the-daily by the children and when inside they played board games; I rarely had to entertain them...it was excellent! That apartment was the perfect separation from the kid chatter. We practically used every utensil creating dishes and enjoying smores from the fire. There was a minor technical difficulty with the front security gate, but Mary was as responsive as she could be for a holiday week. We would totally consider this property again. ##### Ebony G.

Mountains, valleys, oak trees, sky, and birds. The house is a bit mixed between rustic and bohemian but it is super clean and has all the modern amenities. It's pretty "out there". The road to the property (as described) is winding. I don't know if I'd use it as a jump off point for Monterey and surrounding attractions. However, if you are looking for peace, quiet, and relative privacy....this is a pretty amazing spot. ##### James A.

This house is really quite beautiful, tastefully decorated and so comfortable. We had 7 people and all felt at home. The kitchen was well supplied so we could just hang out and cook and even had all we needed to do some baking. Can’t beat the hot tub and deck under the starry skies and the view of the tree covered hills beyond. Mary was very responsive with any questions we had. Highly recommended! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tiffany M. 1 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Secluded getaway If you want peace and quiet away from it all, this is it! The house is well equipped with all your basic needs. Definitely coming back! ##### Tiffany M.

On arrival, it was fun to explore the property both inside and out. The location is peaceful and beautiful. The home itself was impeccably clean. The bathrooms and kitchen were well appointed with everything we needed. We cooked extensive meals and found the cookware, dishware, and appliances were more than adequate. The beds are very comfortable and cozy. The views are AMAZING. Make sure to wake up early to enjoy the sunrise with the sounds of roosters crowing and turkeys gobbling through the valley. For our 5 children, the pool, hot tub, fire pit, and yard were a hit. This place is equally appropriate for a couple looking for a romantic getaway or a large family like ours hoping for a little adventure. I could go on and on about how much I enjoyed our week here!! ##### Katherine K.

Mary was an amazing host and very communicative, especially during a challenging weather situation. Highly recommended for those looking for a property to relax, rest and reset! ##### Morgan M.

The property has beautiful views which can’t be beat, and enough comfortable space to keep you happy and entertained. While the road up is long and windy, once you’re there you won’t want to leave, so come prepared. This was our second time staying at this property and I would happily stay here again! ##### Melanie S.
