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.

So charming, but bathrooms could do with updating, and a table for the coffee maker (maybe Keurig?) Love the location and ceiling, beds very comfy.

It was a charming resort. Most are individual cottages--some with a common wall. Easy parking. Very private and quiet. Very convenient with fridge, microwave and table with two chairs. Good Internet (no cell service). I'd stay here again.

It's a very old property but in working order. Very clean which is great! It's a 15 minute walk from downtown but easier to just drive. Parking was a big plus. Slightly expensive for what you get.
