Parking was adjacent to our cottage. I enjoyed the individual cottage rather than a room in a hotel. Our cottage was spacious with a fireplace. The recliner was so comfortable we felt like we could melt into it. Shopping is a good stretch of the leg if you want to avoid looking for a parking place in Carmel. The seafood was yummy. Watching the Halloween parade downtown Carmel was fun. We had a wonderful time.

We used to stay here in the early 2000’s because it was charming and cozy. Somewhere in the last 20 years, it lost its charm. No longer do they leave a cute basket of breakfast on your doorstep. On the plus side, there was a roomy fridge, a microwave, a coffee maker, a fireplace and a dedicated parking spot. However, the bed was like sleeping on marbles and I had bruises on my hips, the shower head was too low, even for me at 5’ 3”, and there was no place to put your clothes in the big bathroom. A couple of throw rugs, a vanity in the bathroom and a foam bed topper would go far to make it comfy again.

Lovely neighbourhood. Cabin was very private. Grounds well kept, with a nice shared outdoor seating area and free ice machine. Fridge & microwave supplied in cabin. Bathroom was a little bit dated but clean enough and shower was perfectly fine

The cottages are located in a cute neighborhood, but inside, they are outdated and not well-kept. I would not come back.
