The Lodge On The Carmel River

Enjoy and relax in this refurbished lodge on the Carmel River. Expansive views from every window captures the river as it meanders in harmony with the redwoods, sycamores and the ducks that inhabit this natural setting.
The Lodge is only minutes from the charming village of Carmel Valley and 18 miles to from Carmel and Pebble Beach.
Perfect for a getaway from your busy schedule~The Lodge harkens back to time when life was less hectic. The Lodge has a kayak and water tubes to go down the river for your use and out the back door or just enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine on the deck percheded above the river.

Spring Break at the Lodge
Our family of two adults, two kids (10 & 8) and two dogs loved this magical home. The location was amazing, the house was clean and beautifully decorated with a vintage flair. Courtney was so kind and easy to communicate with. Having a spot right on the river was so fun. It was too cold to swim but that didn’t stop our girls and pups from enjoying it. The location is so close to downtown and easy to get to great hikes nearby. Courtney has information and places to go and places to eat at the home. The bunk beds are in a shed outside but so fun. We bunked with our kids in it one night and were pleasantly surprised at the fact that we were warm enough and slept well. There are walkie talkies to use also if needed for the bunk shed. Loved our stay and planning on coming back.

Cozy in Carmel Valley
The property was really sweet and cozy. When we were there, there was a huge hail storm but we were able to watch from inside with all the big windows and the fire on. The bunk room is a fun little touch, and the gals that slept in it said it was the best sleep of their life. It gets total darkness and really peaceful. The owner was really responsive and helpful during our stay. We had a few questions, and she was also proactive in reaching out to us to make sure we were all set. Our favorite part was the "fun hat" cabinet. :-)

We are grateful we found this location! Courtney was excellent with communication and suggestions of restaurants, hikes and points of interest in the area. The Lodge was better than presented. Our family of four (boys 12 & 16) all enjoyed the river, relaxing and sightseeing. We went to Big Sur, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey(including the Aquarium)…our favorite as a family was Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. My older son and husband enjoyed golfing at Spy Glass and Spanish Bay! Then we watched the Bagpiper at Spanish Bay later that night from Roy’s at Pebble Beach. Well worth every minute!

Beautiful and quiet riverfront property in a charming neighborhood. The kids played all day on the kayak and floating on inner tubes. The remodeled kitchen was perfect for making big communal meals, which we enjoyed on the terrace overlooking the Carmel River. The host, Courtney, did a beautiful job furnishing the house with curious antiques and knick-knacks. It was such a lovely and relaxing vacation.

Mountain Haven found!
Phenomenal stay! If you want to get away from it all this is your place! Don't miss out! Anytime you can bring the kids and throw them in the river, which is in your backyard, see deer while having coffee and be surrounded by bird calls it's a haven and a memory builder at the same time. This place is beautiful and Courtney is so welcoming and attentive. My family won't ever forget this stay.

Great spot!
Along the river, beautiful scenery, the doors are tough to open but just have to push harder. The bunk room is in a shed outside. The VRBO is FULLY stocked! All supplies, knives, cooking utensils, spices, ketchup, mustard, etc is there which is rare. The host is very responsive and provides recommendations to everything in the area. Our whole group was very happy with the location and house.
