Overall our stay was pleasant; the home is charming but needs a lot of maintenance. it did not feel clean; one of the beds had pieces of leaves in it; house was very hot and musty when we arrived. We had to open several doors to get air moving. Windows were dirty and lots of cobwebs around. Master bedroom mattress needs to be replaced. Was very uncomfortable. The furniture in the house is comfortable but there were a lot of stains etc on couch and chairs in living room. One of our guests uses a Walker and thought it would be helpful to have a chair in shower and toilets that aren’t so low to the floor. We bought a chair and left for future guests that may need assistance in shower.
The location was great in terms of shopping and restaurants. Check in was easy. The house is not visible from the road, so it was a bit hard to find. There is a very nice and pretty patio that we liked the best. The cushions on the furniture had not been cleaned off but once we did that, it was fine. The washer and dryer worked well and we used several times.
The size of the house is very nice for two couples and even three couples would have plenty of room. The heater worked well as weather got colder. The host, Sue was very nice and helpful the day we arrived. We stayed 10 days. In the past we have always stayed in the town of Carmel and although we enjoyed exploring the valley, we will stay in town next time.

Great house with comfortable furniture and beds. The house in a great location and very peaceful. The owners have equipped the house with all you need for the comforts of home. Will definitely stay again and hopefully have more free time to explore all that end of Carmel has to offer. This is also close to several great restaraunts that are enjoyed by the locals.

This was such a lovely stay. The property was conveniently located to many sights, restaurants and wineries. Our two young girls had a wonderful time exploring the property and playing across the street at the playground.

Perfect Setting to attend a Family Wedding in Carmel Valley
Wonderful setting and great outdoor space. We had a family wedding to attend in town and it was super nice to be so close for the week. House is well stocked with items and spacious. Private. Neat decor and historic oven was fun to use. We will recommend and use again for sure.

Quintessential Carmel
The home and beautiful outdoor surroundings were just what I love about Carmel and the valley. The house was perfect with 3 bedrooms, each with its own bath. Lots of room to gather, dine, etc.
We ran into a bit of a problem with the wifi, but Susan was easily reachable to help us in finding a solution to the problem.

Ford Farm is lovely!
The home is a rustic farm house on a very large and eclectic lot. The location works very well to walk to restaurants, wineries, a grocer and other shops. Very comfortable.

Great stay in Carmel Valley
As other posters have mentioned, the photos do not do it justice. We were 3 couples and the house was super comfortable - 3 bedrooms each with its own bathroom. We had great weather and spent a lot of time sitting outside in the nicely set up backyard. Would stay there again in a minute!

Historic home in Carmel Valley Village
My husband and I are in our 80s. The location to village and park are excellent. The property is large and very private.
There is a trade off for these features. The owner was very pleasant about my concerns when I mentioned them after our 2 month stay. I however believe they should have been addressed BEFORE we arrived. Yard was at one time remarkable and charming. We found the front yard fountain full of smelly algae. My daughter and I spent a day cleaning it out. No screens on windows. Old unusable chairs left out in yard. BBQ was so dirty with old food and grease we did not use it. The old gas stove/oven is a real challenge to use. TV etc. difficult to use. Kitchen well stocked with dishes and utensils. Some very nice serving bowls. There are cupboards and drawers that just need to be cleaned out if renters are expected to use the house for long term as we did.
This lovely old home would work well for a wedding or catered event. Patio is large. My husband said he would not stay here again.
I would strongly recommend renting this VRBO after some yard work and housekeeping were done. I found this home delightful even with its need for care.
Location is outstanding.

Wonderful home in the valley
As nice as the description and pictures are, they really don’t do justice to how wonderful this home is. Tastefully furnished and extremely comfortable. Centrally located in Carmel Valley. This is a great place to just relax in the warm sunshine, or use as a base for outings all around the Monterey Peninsula. We would definitely come again!

Great family house
The house was great for my kids as it sits on a very large property with lots of room to explore. This house is also across the street from a great park and community center (with pool) which I think should be highlighted more in the description.

Great stay with incredible backyard
Wonderful stay - very roomy (each room has its own bathroom) and made for a perfect time with 6 adults. Backyard is beautifully landscaped with grill and firepit and property is a short walk from breakfast cafes, wineries, and restaurants. Would absolutely stay again!

Simply wonderful!
A beautiful, quiet spot within walking distance of Carmel Village. Relaxing gardens and a welcoming home with LOTS of space for all. We were able to entertain some local families with either take out meals from nearby restaurants, or using the farm kitchen to prepare our meals. The restored ranch house has all the conveniences with a farmhouse ambience. A wonderful place to relax with friends and family. The pictures do not do it justice and we will hopefully return many times in the future.

Perfect location, peaceful retreat, wonderful home!
We really enjoyed our stay at this home - the location was so beautiful. It felt like you were tucked back in a quiet nature retreat, but were also able to easily walk to restaurants. The multiple outdoor seating locations were great - we loved sitting outside and enjoying the scenery and beautiful weather. Our kids loved the park nearby. It was also an easy drive down into Carmel. The kids wanted to stay longer and said that the house was so nice and cozy, and we adults agree! We would definitely come back again in the future.

Charming home; great location
As described, this home is very close to the village and easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and tasting rooms. The property is amazing and has plenty of outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy the peaceful environment with deer wandering through from time to time.

Fantastic place to get away
We had a fantastic time at Susans property , it’s spacious has all the amenities you’d want. I particularly loved the backyard and our kids had a great time. The fire pit is awesome and it’s so close to the wineries. It is also just 20 mins from Carmel and the beaches. This was our first time in Carmel valley and we will definitely try to book this property again if we are in the area.

Great Carmel Valley Stay
Had a great family vacation. House was well stocked & beds were comfortable. Great property for the kids to ride their bikes safely. Enjoyed the fire pit and sounds of nature. Address was not well marked so it was a bit hard to find at first.

Happy New Year
We rented this beautiful property to greet 2020 with a quiet yet fun celebration. It met all our expectations. The property is beautiful and we hope to return in the spring or fall when we can enjoy the great outdoor patio and gardens.

Great location & outdoor space
We came with our toddler and another family with a child. Great space for the kids to wander inside & outside. The turf outside was wonderful as well - helped us be outside but not get too dirty. Older home but well maintained. The boys appreciated the dominos and Jenga games that were available. Walking distance to the village and multiple playgrounds and fields across the street. Great location!

Stay in Carmel California
Property served our needs very well. It was for the most part clean. Kitchen needs a good clean out but was ok. Some windows did not have coverings. All in all it was a good and very comfortable home.

Carmel Valley stay
Carmel Valley is an awesome place to visit in June. Beautiful sunshine, temps in the 70s, great wine country, and laid back village with lots of eateries. The house as perfect for 3 adult couples and exactly as advertised. The kitchen was fully functional and dining & living space perfect. We loved the outdoor space and very short walk to the village. The fire pit gots lots of use and the water feature was a nice add! We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

Perfect location for Carmel Valley
We were there with our kids visiting some friends who live in the area. Super close to restaurants and tasting rooms in Carmel Valley. There is a park across the street that is great for kids. The house is very private, and sits at the back of a large lot. The back patio is fantastic, with a nice fire pit. The weather was inclement during our trip so we did not take advantage, but it looked great. The electronics are a little dated, but serviceable. We were not there to watch TV anyhow. Overall a great stay!

Great location for wedding!
My family and I loved staying at Susan's beautiful home in Carmel Valley. It was the perfect size for us, and was incredibly convenient for all of our activities in the lead-up to my daughter's wedding at Holman Ranch.
My only suggestion would be a new sign out front with the house no- the old one seems to have disappeared. :)

Great place to stay in Carmel Valley!
What a nice and secluded place to stay...yet walking distance to all that the town has to offer! The house had everything we needed for the weekend but the fire pit was our favorite. We spent our days touring the area and enjoying some wine tastings and finished our days talking around the fire with a glass of wine. It was slightly challenging to find the place the first time, but once you are there you'll find it incredibly peaceful and quiet. I'll stay there again when I return!

The house was more than we expected in every good way.
We loved our stay at the house and its as better than we expected. It is private and feels as if we were in the country, however just a 5 minute walk to anywhere in town. It was the best location. The house was large and separated in a way that allowed people to have privacy and not disturb the other guests. I would come back to stay here in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Susan keeps a beautiful home that's just right with what you need for your stay and very comfortable. Check in and out was seamless. Location can't be beat with easy access to Carmel Valley Ranch. Would recommend this property.

The "house of many doors" is a lovely place.
We are from sonoma county and this place easily reminds one of the valley of the moon. Perfect for a stay with our adult children and spouses. The only constructive comment I have is that the host should post the lock box # directly in the check info for the rental.
