We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan on returning. The converted barn is spacious, beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable. Our hosts warmly welcomed us and our little dog. It was truly a pet-friendly experience. The property has a lovely view and includes a grazing Highland cow in the pasture. Point Lobos and Monastery Beach are within walking distance, and visits to Carmel are just minutes away.

Enjoyed every moment of our stay at the Brown Barn. Such a unique fun place to stay with our family with great amenities.The view and location are perfect and foosball and pool were great fun during our down time. Rich and his wife are excellent hosts and shared events in the community they thought we would be interested in. Highly recommend and already booked our stay here again for next year. Bella and Taylor, the cows, were great entertainment for our 18 year old.

Probably the best location in the area

We stayed at the Brown Barn for a few days in August and had a wonderful experience. Our favorite things about this rental were the location, property, and activities on site. Our kids loved watching the cows being fed, playing pool and foosball and roasting smores. We’d highly recommend the Brown Barn for families up to 6 that want to be able to walk in to Point Lobos.

Beautiful well-maintained large renovated barn.

We rented this for the location, which offered us walking access to point Lobo State Park across the road. This well maintained renovated barn offered a large, single living room, kitchen, sleeping areas, pool table, and foosball table all in one space. It was great for us and my boys loved the pool table, foosball table, and a music area with a guitars and a keyboard. there’s also a very nice outdoor patio with a gas grill and fire pit. aside from Point Lobo State Par One of my favorite outings was to Carmel River beach where my boys swam in the river and there were lots of pelicans in an inland estuary.

Excellent host average experience

Rich was very accommodating to allow us bring our dogs and addressed the cleanliness issue in a timely manner. What went well: the cows are really cute! Beautiful yard, perfect for throwing a ball with your dog, there were turkeys and geese as well. Lots of games and things to entertain kids, and a really awesome bathroom. What could have been better:Since the main host was on vacation I think we ran into some issues others didn't. We were supposed to meet and get the key from a back up host but we couldn't get in touch with them. We ended up waiting a long time before calling the main host to get the key. We also didn't get a run down of the property and there isn't a guide or directions onsite, so we may have missed out on some stuff (feeding hay to or petting the cows that others had mentioned would have been awesome).The bushes have grown a lot since the photos (to block the highway) and we couldn't see the ocean from the house. This was a bummer since we were so close. You can see the ocean from the back yard but we couldn't hear it due to the busy highway.

Fantastic

This was a weekend stay for my husband and our two adult sons. Excellent communication with host. Check-in was seamless and they appreciated the orientation tour of the property. There are too many amenities to list, but the pool table and guitars were definitely a hit, as were the many TVs and comfy furniture. There was plenty of room to spread out and relax, and everything they needed was provided. The view was described as “sick” by one of my sons and they all wished they were able to stay another day.

The property is a large, comfortable, nicely decorated informal single space in a pastoral setting. Interior featured a kitchen area with counter, all the necessary appliances, dining table, lounging area and large flat screen TV (total of 3), separate bathroom with shower, electric piano, pool table and foosball table, and has large windows/sliding glass doors facing HWY 1 and ocean in distance. Location is great with easy access to all areas without feeling the closeness of city living. Minutes to grocery store, Carmel Mission, and restaurants, beach, and scenery of Point Lobos and Carmel Highlands. Adjacent cows and geese were great company.Rich was a superb host, and took an interest in us enjoying our stay. We had a great time and look forward to staying again.

Book for the cows... stay for the hosts

The most unique property we've stayed at and one that we'd love to re-visit! Morning walks to Point Lobos and Monastery Beach were our highlights. We were beyond fortunate to enjoy 3 perfect weather days in Carmel and cars begin to line up across the street on PCH to walk into Point Lobos. It felt like such a privilege to be able to leave our car and walk there from the Barn. Playing pool and foosball with our daughters was great entertainment. We all needed R&R and all slept so well in the very comfortable beds. The heated floor in bathroom was a very nice touch. We like picking up local coffee and there were multiple options a short drive away. Most importantly, Rich and Daryl are like your new favorite uncle and aunt--there for you if needed. They have their own active lives going on, so you might see each other in passing. We are very grateful they've chosen to share their slice of Heaven in Carmel.

Fantastic Carmel Stay

What a great place and location! The remodeled barn was spacious, comfortable, stylish and unique! Perfect for our family of five. My husband and I did beautiful morning walks while the teens slept in. One day we explored Point Lobos and saw breathtaking views of bird island and the next day we walked through the nearby beach and found an ocean trail to Carmel River Beach. It's just a few minutes drive to downtown Carmel as well. The hosts were wonderful and even brought us some hay to feed the adorable cows before we left. Highly recommend!
