Breathtaking Views!
This is a very cozy cottage with lots of outdoor spaces to take in the views. The host that lives next door has an extensive garden with hummingbird feeders all over. Also, there is no traffic around. It is very peaceful! The bed was very comfortable. There is no air conditioning, but you didn't need it! Although, the space heaters did a great job heating it up in the cool mornings. The only negative, if you plan to do ANY cooking the kitchen is bare bones. There are not a lot of things in the kitchen. Just one dull utility knife and some various pots and pans and some very cheap silverware. There was no outdoor grill. Also since there is not a lot of room, a few hooks on the walls would help with coats, etc. and a light in the closet would be helpful. We were using our cell phone flashlights to see inside the dresser (which is inside the closet). Other than that, the place was perfect and very close to a lot of great hiking! We would definitely stay again!

great alternative to Monterey
This is a very nice little spot that worked great for our trip. I would highly recommend using this location and exploring Carmel Valley as a potential alternative to staying in Monterey, as we found the location perfect for what we needed and it is close enough to Monterey if you still want to visit. Very good place for dogs and great spot to enjoy Carmel Valley.

The place is light and airy with lots of windows and incredible views. The balcony is a great place to capture the morning and afternoon sun or watch the humming birds buzzing around. Carmel Village is close-by and we took in Carmel-by-the-Sea and Big Sur. Would highly recommend and hope to be back. 😊😊😊

Amazing hideaway in the valley
Perfect spot for a quiet break from the city. Though small the studio gives you breathtaking view of the valley. I could just sit down and stare out. And Jenn’s garden is a haven for the red-throated hummingbirds. Add to that — it’s dog-friendly. Would definitely be back!

A slice of heaven in Carmel Valley!
Jenn’s hospitality was nothing short of exceptional, and the view was equally as incredible. The room was cozy and set up perfectly, and the garden below accompanied with Hummingbirds galore- which was the cherry on top for me. It was peaceful, comfortable, and clean, and Jenn had some great suggestions for places to eat in town. I wish we had stayed a day longer, already missing the atmosphere! Thank you Jenn!

Disappointed
We arrive and don't realize that there is no access to a backyard, lawn, dirt or anything. Just a small deck in the back with a killer view. A bit larger patio in the front but no view and just under the road. The first night neighbor's dog barked all night until after 11 pm. Then at 3 am the smoke detector began chirping and we had to deal with that. Then, shortly after that the motion sensor light right outside our bedroom window began turning on and off flooding our bedroom with light! We got very little sleep that night. Talked with the owner who was very apologetic and said she would turn the motion sensor lights off. The next evening, 9 pm, I decide I had better check to make sure she turned the lights off. She didn't. Furthermore, she didn't know how to turn them off. I ended up having to put some tape over the sensor part of the light. The owner Jenn, was apologetic and offered to let us stay another day at no cost. But that didn't work for our schedule. We suggested that she at least comp us for Friday night. She didn't sound interested. Although she wasn't responsible for the barking dog next door and didn't know when her smoke detector was going to have a low battery, she clearly was responsible for the motion sensor light and yet didn't know how to deal with it. All and all our experience was awful that night and we feel she should have been more responsive.

Stay in Carmel Valley
This cottage attached to the owners house is like a stay in a hotel room that has a small cooking area as well. Great views, very quiet, nice queen bed. It does have a small stove but no dishwasher and no disposal etc. But, with all the nice places to eat in Monterey, Carmel, and in Carmel Valley, who would want to cook. Minor issues were the can opener was broken and did not work and there were no extra light bulbs in the unit. Still, I rate the location, unit, view and quiet as equaling 5 stars.

The property was beautiful, tucked away in the rolling hills of Carmel Valley. The views of the property were breathtaking. Jenn was a lovely host who gave us suggestions of where to go.

The perfect escape!
Thank you, Jenn, for providing this perfect escape. It was just what I needed - a refreshing getaway for recharging, fresh air, exercise and peace in a beautiful setting with my little dog. I'll be back. I think I'll schedule a regular annual or twice-annual trip; it's like Eat, Pray Love without all the flights. Travelers - be sure to avail yourself of all the hiking, walks; Carmel Valley village shopping; dining; cafes; and - in warmer months, perhaps even swimming in community lakes or pools. Carmel-by-the-Sea is a 20-25 minute drive. I thought I'd go there daily, but realized that the peace, quiet, and tranquility surrounded by CV's verdant hillsides from Jen's place - and from parks nearby - were what I wanted most.

Cute studio
This place was great for our weeklong stay in Carmel. Super close to the Carmel Valley village, and about 25 minutes from Carmel by the Sea. A few notes for clarity: this isn't a completely private house; it's a guest house attached to their home. And the space is a little smaller than the photos appear. But the views and location are amazing, and we really enjoyed our stay.

Nice location ,
A little smaller than appeared online. Nice location, pretty view, quiet. Very limited communication with host. Instructions provided were minimal, and not particularly welcoming. For example, threats in house manual about calling the sheriff if too much noise were a bit off-putting for a quiet senior couple with no intention of partying. Less friendly and welcoming than most short term rentals I have used. But comfortable, adequate, some lighting issues, great view.

Good morning so sorry if I appear to be unfriendly. I just assumeed when you go off on a holiday that you would like to be by yourself. I have had a bar and restaurant in Carmel Valley Village for 37 years. Which is a family restaurant. We get all the all the walks of life that come into the restaurant and everybody’s friendly. Sorry you’ve got the wrong impression.I don’t normally knock on the door and introduce myself. I figure that people just like to have their own space, sorry if I upset you Best Jenn;)

Peaceful Garden and Beautiful Views!
Jenn's place is the perfect peaceful retreat for a couple. Why would you stay in a hotel when a wonderful place like this exists? My wife and I stayed here celebrating our 25th anniversary. The pictures are accurate: it's a studio with everything we needed: Comfy bed, kitchen with all the basics including a stove/oven, microwave, fridge, & coffee maker, bathroom w/ shower, and a glorious south-facing deck with great morning sunlight and an amazing view. Lots of great hikes nearby and an easy 20 minute trip down the hill to Carmel & Monterey. Carmel Valley Village also has two convenience stores (Village Market & Grapevine) with "Grab and Go" food in case you play all day and get to town after the restaurants are closed (which happened to us, twice.) Hint: Places in the Village that say on Yelp they're open til 9pm will sometimes close early if it's slow. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Jenn!

We loved staying here and it was even nicer than the photos! Jenn has a beautiful, diverse garden with wind chimes and water fountains serenading you. Just below your deck, dozens of hummingbirds come and go all day long to feed, entertaining you while you also enjoy the view. Well-equipped kitchen, comfortable chairs and bed as well as privacy, makes this a special place. Very convenient to Carmel Valley village and just 20 minutes to Carmel with spectacular views.

The photos are accurate. We were out and about for most of our stay but coming back to the studio at the end of the day was a great retreat. The property is very easy to find, and only about 5 minutes away from Carmel Valley Village. The bed is comfortable and if you open the doors and/or windows you get a lovely cross breeze (we were there toward the end of a heat wave).

This well-equipped studio has a spectacular view of the surrounding hills of Carmel Valley. The back deck also overlooks the owner's lovely and abundant garden, which attracts hummingbirds by the handful. We really enjoyed interacting with them & they were clearly curious about us too. The studio itself is as advertised-- clean, comfortable, and containing everything you need for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend for two people or a solo traveler.
