Top Carmel Valley Hotel Reviews

Holman Ranch Estate Vineyard & Winery

10/10 Excellent

"I wish we could keep this place a secret all to ourselves! What an amazing experience it was to stay here. The grounds are truly out of a fairytale, the gardens are meticulously maintained and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. One of the most peaceful and relaxing places we have ever had the pleasure to enjoy. We will be visiting again for sure."

Carmel Valley Lodge and Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean and absolutely beautiful. Would definitely stay again."

Oak Treehouse Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in this house for 3 nights last weekend. It was very clean, quiet, serene, and comfortable. The view of the trees out the big picture window in the living room was gorgeous. The hot tub and fire pit were very relaxing and cornhole game was fun. We also saw deer, the neighbors horses, and wild turkeys every day. The host was very responsive. We did notice a few minor things; the fire pit propane tank was empty so we had to switch the tank from the BBQ grill back and forth, one of the string lights over the cornhole game was not working, and some kitchen tools were lacking (no corkscrew, only one wine glass, only 4 forks, etc). The bedroom TV only works if you have a Netflix subscription. Otherwise it doesn't work. A book left in the house with information would be helpful. The house is not easy to find. If we had arrived after dark we would've had a hard time. Another couple trying to find their VRBO stopped by on Sunday as they had trouble finding theirs too. The area is quite remote. The road to get there is winding and narrow and nearest grocery store is half an hour away. Also to note is that all the string lights outside turn off automatically at 10:00 pm per some county regulation, as we were told by the host. Overall we would recommend this property for a quiet, peaceful and private stay. We had a wonderful weekend!"
