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.

The property is incredibly secluded where you can only see distant vineyards and no neighboring homes. We loved the layout of the property, and the breakout of various rooms and sections of the outdoor area. Heads-up to make sure you look at the location before you get there as the drive is fairly long from Carmel Valley town area with the windy roads! ##### Tessa H.

I will say it is a DRIVE to get out to the house but it’s so worth it. Our whole crew of 6 very much enjoyed our trip and were incredibly comfortable. The mornings were a little chilly but it was so easy to warm up post coffee and wrapping ourselves up in the morning. The hot tub and pool were fantastic and had a beautiful view. I even left my iPad behind and the host is helping me retrieve it. Overall a very needed, relaxing weekend. ##### Giselle G. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James A. 23 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful and pretty remote The property is beautiful and the views are incredible. 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. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sukhdev S. 20 Nov 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Not worth the money The house has two parts, main house has a living room, kitchen a den and a bed room plus bath on level 2. Second and third bedrooms with one bath are outside the main house and at level 2. Bed room sizes are small and property is dated. View is nice. Would I stay in same property again… No. One does not get value for money spent of nearly $900 per day. ##### Sukhdev S. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine K. 18 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Secluded Paradise Our family of 7 had a beautiful week here. 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.

It wans't heated. We were disapointed since the pool was the mail attraction, and the reason we picked that house over other houses. And the email questions were not answered. ##### Larisa R.
