The fireplace was very nice while we watched t.v. in the living room. The kitchen had everything we needed as I cooked breakfast each morning. The bathroom had it all. Including, a newly done shower. The bedroom has a huge t.v. fireplace and nice big bed. The outside landscaping is immaculate with water features, staties and lighting. Five Stars

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Bill was a fantastic host, very accommodating to our needs and gave us some great advice on places we should visit. The deck with loungers was a wonderful place to relax. In the cooler mornings and evenings we loved turning on the fireplaces for some warmth and ambiance. We would definitely stay here again.

We had an amazing time at the beautifully remodeled, impeccably decorated, pet friendly charming Atherton cottage. We loved the private location, which is within walking distance to the Mission Trail Park, Carmel Mission and a very short drive to the Carmel Beach and town.The cottage has all the comforts of home from the abundance of cookware and pet dishes to the most comfortable king-sized bed.

A great little cottage that is totally private and very cozy. Great space inside and a nice deck to enjoy. Parking is easy, and I love this location as I'm a walker and the wilderness trails are nearby for miles of hiking, plus for me it's an easy walk to the beach and the Mission. Great quiet neighborhood. I highly recommend this cottage and will definitely stay here again.

Atherton cottage is a great getaway spot. It felt like an oasis while still being close to excellent restaurants and shops. The cottage had plenty of space and the king size bed was much appreciated. There are multiple outdoor patios/balconies, 2 of which have ocean views. Overall it was relaxing and would stay here again.

Cozy House in Carmel

Bill's house is a lovely spot to relax for a few days. The location is quiet and nice, just across the street from the Carmel Mission. We took a lovely walk to Carmel River State Park, then onto Carmel and Carmel Beach. The sunsets from both decks were fantastic. The house is cozy with 2 fireplaces, we really enjoyed our weekend there.
