About this cottage rental
Perched atop a sun-drenched hillside in the serenity of Carmel Valley, this charming 1 bedroom home is surrounded by trees, native foliage & views of the rolling hills of Carmel Valley. This home boasts a new redwood deck, full kitchen, fireplace and full bathroom. Complete with air conditioning. You will have private access to this entire guest house with your own deck and private parking and entrance. Off the beaten path, tucked in the Carmel Valley Mountains. 1 bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchen. Be prepared to enjoy a beautiful drive through the Carmel-Valley vineyards as you escape to this mountain paradise which is surrounded by mountains and trees in the heart of Los Padres National Forest. Enjoy the view from the deck. This space is great for a quiet weekend away from the city. You can explore Carmel Valley, Monterey and Big Sur, or simply enjoy the peacefulness of the property and surrounding atmosphere itself. The kitchen is perfect for small meals. Cooking utensils, dishes, pots and pans, a refrigerator, electric stove, microwave and ingredients such as olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar, coffee and filters are provided. Consider stopping for groceries prior to your arrival, especially if your stay is only for one night, as Carmel Valley village is the nearest town for any groceries (8 miles, 15-20 minutes drive). Main home next door may be occupied during your stay. Please ask, if this is a concern for you. PETS: If you bring a pet, and the pet causes damages, you agree to pay for such damages (door scratches, stained couches, etc). You must ensure they will not scratch any doors or go on the beds or sofas. Carmel Valley Veterinary Hospital offers really reasonable rates to board your dogs if this is an option for you. The pet fee is $50. Make sure to bring all of your groceries and beverages as you are a 15-20 minute drive from Carmel Valley village and there is no grocery store nearby. I will provide basic items like olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar, coffee and filters. Wifi: provided by Razzolink via satellite internet. I have ATT and can receive phone calls without wifi. GPS will take you past our entrance because our location is not accurately marked on GPS. Please follow my picture check-in instructions. The drive to this property is on a narrow, winding country road which is dark at night. Please plan to arrive during daylight if it is your first time at the property. Do not plan to travel into town to restaurants or weddings for heavy drinking and expect to drive back to the home safely. Use pull-out spots to pull over for locals that may be driving faster.

My family and I booked both the main house and the cottage for a weekend getaway, and it was absolutely perfect. I was lucky enough to stay in the cottage, which provided the ideal balance of privacy and togetherness. It gave me my own peaceful space while still being able to enjoy time with my family throughout the weekend.The views were stunning, and the cottage itself was incredibly relaxing, clean, and beautifully maintained. It truly felt like the perfect escape.The only suggestion I would make is to download or screenshot all check-in information before arriving at the property. When we arrived, we didn't have cell service and realized we hadn't saved the Wi-Fi details. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi information wasn't posted anywhere in the main house, so we had to leave the property to find service and access the check-in instructions again. Having that information readily available on-site would make the arrival process much smoother.Other than that, our stay was fantastic. We had an amazing family vacation and thoroughly enjoyed the property. I would absolutely return—whether for another family trip or a remote getaway with friends.

Perfect rental for our honeymoon. Lives up to the pictures and was clean and very comfortable. We loved it! Restaurant and winery recommendations were fantastic as well!

What a beautiful setting with everything that was needed to enjoy the time in the mountains.

Overall, our stay was okay, knowing everything I know now I would not book again.
The roads to get there were scary! The GPS took us to the wrong location and led us to a frustrated neighbor down the road who said this happens 4-5 times a week. Thankfully, he pointed us in the direction of Sky Ranch.
As for the rental itself, the hot tub never got hotter than 99 degrees, and the couch was not comfortable. We also lost power a few times for multiple hours, which was inconvenient no lights no running water.
On the positive side, the property is cute, with a nice fireplace and great views. We even saw deer in the mornings.
