We LOVE Barb's Cozy Cottage!

Carmel is one of our favorite places on the planet, and Barb's backyard cottage is the perfect place to come home to after a day of exploring. Amazing snacks, the coziest bed ever, a cute little blue couch for relaxing, a great shower, and more! I am scent sensitive (due to migraines), and we made a personal request in advance this time about fabric softener, which Barb graciously handled without question. Excellent communication, a gorgeous location, and a memorable vacation. What more can you ask for?

Cozy and comfortable and charming

The "Quiet Cottage in the Woods" is perfect for couples who want to stay a few minutes from Carmel's center and enjoy stillness within a local neigborhood. Our host has thought of every comfort to ensure her guests have the best experience possible - fluffy towels, the softest sheets, 3 kinds of coffee makers, decent toilet paper and some treats to welcome us. The patio is lush with well maintained trees, plants and even orchids. Barb is warm, caring and responsive. The cottage has been furnished in a non stuffy French Country style and books on the area are provided for guest use, The only issue we had was with our internet service. TMobile didnt cooperate with us in the cottage or even on the hill.Overall we would enthusiastically recommend this place to stay and Carmel in general!

Carmel Cottage

We enjoyed our 2-night stay at this quiet Carmel cottage. All the amenities of home were included-- a comfortable bed, fully-stocked kitchen and beautiful shady patio with a garden. Our hostess Barb was kind, and answered our questions promptly. We were in the area to enjoy the Monterey and Carmel beaches, and Laguna Seca.

Cute and quaint

We loved Barb’s place so much. Very clean and cozy. Perfect for my husband and I to visit Carmel and surrounding areas. Comfy bed and nice amenities. All of Barb’s restaurant recommendations were spot on. Favorite being Dametra Cafe and least being Misson Ranch. Cooler weather than I expected in June, and always windy so needed jackets daily. Fog doesn’t burn off till noon sometimes so plan sight seeing accordingly. Gorgeous sunsets from beach. Love the charm and lovely feeling you get from Carmel and Barb’s place!

Great host!

Enjoyed staying at the cottage. The amenities that Barb provides her guests are exceptional. And she is equally as lovely. Great location close to everything. Got to hike Point Lobos, go to the aquarium, take some beautiful beach walks, antiquing, and do a e-bike tour of the 17 mile drive. One issue for me was that the internet is a bit sketchy in the cottage. I had a few things I needed to do for work and had to move around and sometimes go outside to get connected. But not a huge issue. Just be aware if it is important to you. Overall, great experience.

Nice Wonderful cottage!

The cottage is large with a comfortable bed, nice bathroom, functional kitchen, sitting couch for tv plus an outside beautiful table next to a garden, very peaceful. Wonderful & nice owners who are very quick to help & friendly, but leave you alone unless needed for something. It is a very nice place to stay in Carmel by the Sea.

Great Holiday Stay

We stayed over Christmas and were greeted with a bottle of wine, a basket of snacks and several other sweet treats. The cottage had everything you would want or need in a home away from home. The location is in a nice neighborhood close to all the coastal activities. We did them all! The outdoor patio was so well done. We highly recommend a stay here!

Great communication and an overall comfortable stay. Highly recommended for couples wanting a quieter stay away from downtown Carmel, but still close enough to walk into it. The walk back uphill will be tough, but rideshare options are always available and pretty affordable too. Can't stress enough how sweet and helpful the property owner was. Haven't ever encountered that with any B&B's. Can't wait to come back and stay again!
