Excellent location for our stay in Carmel. Barb was very accommodating and thinks of all the things you may need while on vacation. We enjoyed the patio with the bird and squirrel watching. Close to town and the restaurants are incredible. Also a great place to leave from to do some local cycling.

Barb is the best hostess! Cottage is nicely appointed with everything you could need. Welcome snacks and wine were a nice touch and appreciated.

We stayed again to enjoy 4 evenings of concerts at the Carmel Bach Festival. It is a nice walkable distance into town during the day and a peaceful respite to come home to by car after an evening concert. The comfortable bed and the absolute quiet led to great nights of sleep. The patio was full of blooms and birds. Our only negative was that the interrnet (though upgraded from our visit last year) is still unreliable and dropped us off consistently, or often wouldn't allow us to connect at all.

We stayed only a couple nights and wished we could’ve stayed longer :-) The home is beautiful, and stocked with extra provisions, including fancy chocolates! It’s very quiet and peaceful there, and Barb and her husband were very responsive and accommodating. I. The bed was very comfortable, and the furnishings are lovely. It feels like you’re in the woods somewhere, but it is located actually very close to just about everything in that area. We hope to come back someday.‼️‼️

While the description was appealing, It paled in comparison to the reality of this magical property. Everything – from the furnishings, to the surrounding gardens, to the technology, and, most of all, finishing touches make this a must stay property For Carmel visitors. Really appreciated the freshly ground coffee, the gourmet quality bottle of wine, and the buttery croissants! Most of all we appreciated the warm hospitality of Barb and Terry. We’ll be back!

Barb is an attentive host who has provided all amenities to make your stay hassle free. From all paper products to and kitchen supplies to soaps, shampoo and lotions. The location of the cottage was perfect for us, both quiet and walkable to town. (The walk is about 1 mile) We truly enjoyed our small patio with table and chairs. Hope to return soon!

My sister and I had a wonderful stay at this property. Barb left so many thoughtful touches throughout the cottage, she didn’t miss a single detail. It’s located in a beautiful neighborhood close to town, making it easy to travel and see all the sights Carmel has to offer. This was the perfect vacation rental. We will definitely be back!

The cottage was cozy, lovely and private. It had everything we needed for a one-week stay. Barb was a great owner - very open with communication, and helpful getting us situated in Carmel. We hope to stay here again someday when we return to Northern California.

Everything about this cottage was great. It is a short drive from here to Carmel and many other attractions. Our highlights while staying here were Pinnacles National Park, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Yafa (restaurant in Carmel).
I communicated our arrival time with the owner on the day of check-in. They were able to allow us early check-in, which worked out well. They kindly greeted us upon arrival to welcome us and introduce the cottage.
The property was clean, comfortable, and came with many extra, thoughtful touches. Location was quiet. We also enjoyed the many birds visiting the feeders. I highly recommend this cottage!

Although we kept windows cracked open day and night, the cottage was very musty and my spouse suffered from allergies to that. Construction was going on next door and every morning we had heavy pounding to wake up to. I wish it had been disclosed.
We asked if we had some beach chairs available but unfortunately the owner could only come up with one camping chair. On a good note, the backyard was beautiful and pleasant.

The cottage was just as described. It was in a cute neighborhood convenient to downtown Carmel. Although it rained a bit during our trip we enjoyed hanging out in the cottage in between outings. The cottage was well insulated. Barb was a wonderful host and left thoughtful snacks and a bottle of wine for us on arrival. We would definitely stay at Barb's cottage again.

We had a lovely few days and enjoyed exploring the Carmel Valley. The cottage was a home away from home and the host was welcoming and very easy to work with.

We had a blast staying at this cottage! Barb was there to greet us (along with her cute pup Baxter!) when we arrived and showed us all of the ins and outs of the cabin. The location is perfectly located close to downtown Carmel but in a quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed coming home at night and listening to the rain on the roof. I highly recommend staying here on your next visit to Carmel!

Absolutely the cutest cottage we have stayed in over the years! Barb did not miss a thing! The location was quiet about a mile out of town… but if your young you can easily walk to town thru beautiful tree lined streets. If you drive it there are many streets to park on that do not have time frames and it’s great for a day of window shopping and eating! The food in Carmel is unbelievable… so many choices….ALL GOOD! Then coming back to the cottage to rest & relax is a joy♥️ perfect owners for a perfect cottage experience!

The cottage is located on a quiet street in the backyard of the owner’s home. We were greeted with a personalized note, a bottle of wine, croissants, along with snacks and a few water bottles. The property is walking distance to Carmel Beach and all the shops and restaurants. It is an easy drive to Monterey and we did a day trip going down PCH to Big Sur taking in beautiful coastline views and trail hikes. The listing showed a laundry icon but you had to click on view details to see it was directions to a laundromat. The cottage would be better with cross ventilation or air conditioning. A fan was provided to reduce the warmth built up through the day.

My fiance and I stayed here for Rennsport and we're so glad we booked this place to stay. The cottage had it's own walkway and the property was located in a quiet neighborhood, while also being a 15 minute drive from the racetracks / 20 minutes to downtown Monterey.
Barb met us the first day and gave us the details about where to eat/what to do in the area. The cottage was had everything two people needed to cook a good breakfast and bird watch from the patio. The bathroom had a skylight and felt very roomy. We loved the chicken farmhouse theme of the whole cottage.
The only slight challenge was very slow Internet. It was enough to load the text of an email in about 3 minutes, but no images or video. Data is also extremely spotty both in the neighborhood and in Carmel, the nearest town. So if you need to be online for work or access any online entertainment to wind down your day, there isn't much of a solution.
The cottage is a bit of a walk from downtown Carmel, especially with some steep hills, but it was also refreshing to not have to find parking when we went into town for dinner.
Overall a really charming location! A sweet spot for a quiet getaway.

Never have I ever imagined that a host would go to the lengths that Barb did. She had so many little treats around to make her guests feel right at home. The unit is private, beautifully decorated, well-maintained, well-located and cozy. I can't wait to return. Hands down, this is a five star stay!

We had a lovely stay in Barb’s backyard cottage. It was very private and quiet. The amenities and snacks were a wonderful addition to the cozy cottage. The bed was extremely comfortable. Barb made sure to check in with us that everything was great and was available if needed but also respected our space. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Barb has provided a beautiful vacation rental filled with all sorts of items that make the studio welcoming. From the wine and the treats to the exceptional amount of crockery and kitchen utensils, you will want for nothing. Did I mention the comfortable bed?
We can highly recommend a stay her and, if ever we ever pass this way again, we would not hesitate to stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at Barb's cozy cottage. She is a very gracious host. The amenities were perfect and the bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. It made our first visit to Carmel a very memorable and enjoyable one. Thank you Barb.

This was a wonderful spot for our week long vacation to the central coast of CA. It was quiet location that was so peaceful and well equipped for all of our travels in the area. Barb was a great host offering tips for the area. Everything was very clean and larger than the photos! We would highly recommend this property.
