Cozy cottage downtown Carmel

Cozy and comfortable and conveniently located. Parking right in front and all of downtown Carmel is nearby. What's not to like? Oh, the bathtub was kinda small, OK for a shower, but not appealing for a bath, but...that's minor.

I recently stayed at this property and had a pleasant experience overall. The space was clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. One downside, however, was the limited parking space, which could be a bit tricky if you're visiting during peak hours. On the plus side, the location is fantastic — it’s conveniently close to shops and food options. The area is also very quiet, which is perfect for a relaxing stay. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-located spot with great service!
