Summary: Our recent stay in this Carmel-by-the-Sea cabin was nothing short of enchanting. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we had stepped into a fairy tale. The cabin is beautifully decorated with an extraordinary attention to detail—from the charming molding around the doors and ceilings to the thoughtful touches throughout the interior. Every corner reflects care and creativity.Inside, the space was cozy, spotless, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. Outside, we were surrounded by a peaceful, forest-like setting that offered multiple seating areas to relax and soak in the beauty. The private hot tub was an unexpected treat—perfect for unwinding under the stars.What truly made our stay special, though, were the hosts. Diane and Chuck were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It’s clear they take great pride in their property and genuinely care about their guests' experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with them and appreciated their warm hospitality.We’re already dreaming of coming back. Highly, highly recommended!
