Carmel Valley, California
Escape into nature with our enchanting cottage tucked away in Monterey County, California, a hidden gem in Carmel Valley. This authentic rural, one-bedroom hideaway is ideal for disconnecting, unwinding, and getting closer to wildlife, with fresh eggs usually available from the resident-roaming chickens and nature’s soundtrack of chirping birds and singing crickets!
Explore Carmel Valley Village located thirty mins from the cottage, relax at the beach one hour away, or use it as a base to discover the strikingly rugged Big Sur area, under two hours away.
Whether it’s a romantic getaway, a few days of individual solitude, or an exciting new family adventure, our homely cottage can accommodate up to four guests with its main bedroom and a separate queen-sized pull-out couch. Cook at your leisure in the fully equipped kitchen complete with all modern conveniences, and take in the hillside views while relaxing on the deck under a starlit sky.
You needn’t worry about chilly winter nights here; an indoor pellet stove is at your disposal offering a cozy vibe, or why not brave the brisk outdoors with a dip in the newly installed private hot tub
Sheltered in complete privacy and tranquility, the only other guests that may pop by are the local deer, boar, turkey, and maybe even some big cats!
As husband and wife host team, our own family home is also separately located on the property, meaning we’re just a stone’s throw away should you need any assistance, and we’re only too happy to offer suggestions on things to do in Carmel Valley.

Lovely, quiet and peaceful and super nice hosts. But highly recommend arriving during daylight and follow the hosts directions as the roads are narrow and dark.
Very secluded, very peaceful and quiet. No real problems. Thanks Much..
Halleh’s place is just beautiful and peaceful in the middle of Carmel valley. We were surrounded by nature including having deer come right up to the cabin, woodpeckers, tiny frogs and of course meeting their very friendly dogs and chickens! The cabin was spotless and comfortable. We did several day trips to Big Sur, Monterey and Carmel-by-the-sea and this place with the perfect base to return to. Our dog was very welcome and really loved playing in the creek to cool off! Halleh was very accommodating and welcoming! Would highly recommend :)
Great place to escape the world a bit! Much needed for my partner and I to get away and the place is very comfy and has all the necessary items for your stay. Friendly hosts and left a cute welcome gift as well.
Lovely place, lovely people. Would definitely return
Hosts Halleh and Justin were warm, welcoming and helpful. Their property is breathtaking, quiet (except for their hilarious amd enjoyable rooster Elvis) and secluded in nature. Thankful for the rains this winter, we enjoyed wildflowers, gorgeous vistas, and sweet creekside spots to relax. This is a fantastic place to get away from the hubub of life.
Had a great weekend getaway with our little baby and the dogs. Property is beautiful and checking in was very easy. Hiking up the hills behind the property was super fun. Explored the Valley area and Carmel by the Sea. Very cute town. The restaurant Trailside they suggested for breakfast was good. Definitely going to come back in the future!
Justin was waiting for us since the creek was up and helped us get settled in. Wished we could have stayed longer. The place was clean, quiet and as advertised. We especially enjoyed the old records and player.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean and beautiful. The hosts were friendly and kind. The local hiking trails were fun for our dog. Would highly recommend this cottage as a beautiful retreat to enjoy nature, while having all the conveniences of home.
This little cabin was a perfect getaway for me and my pug. It had all the modern amenities (wifi, tv, great lighting, modern kitchen and bathroom) and classic rustic cabin craftsmanship. This property was also very dog friendly - not just dog tolerant. My pug loved the chickens, the hiking, and being able to run around the property. It was lovely to have this oasis and still be able to drive less than 30 minutes to a cute shopping area with boutiques, wine tasting, and restaurants. Halleh & Justin were great hosts, easy to contact, and gave great recommendations to make my stay wonderful.
Great little cottage in Carmel Valley. It was perfect for us and our rescue dog who has issues with people getting too close. The cottage was clean, well maintained and stocked. The welcome bottle of wine was a really nice treat too! It's a little farther out (15 miles or so from the village) but not an issue for us. The trails we found were great for hiking with our dog who is afraid of everything. We didn't see anyone on our hikes.
My kids and I stayed at the cottage in the middle of our Northern California road-trip. This was a perfect place to wind down and enjoy peace and quiet. Our hosts were very welcoming and kind. They were happy to provide whatever we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The quality time I spent with my kids here was priceless. Thank you for having us!
We had a nice, relaxing time here. The kitchen is well equipped, the bedroom is comfy, the grill and hot tub were great, the only complaint is the sofa bed isn't comfy for two people. If you stay, do some star gazing from the hot tub with all the surrounding lights off!
I had a great time at this sweet cottage out in beautiful Carmel Valley/Cachagua. I needed some quiet time alone in nature for personal and spiritual renewal, and that's just what I got! The hot tub was awesome, the cottage was wonderfully supplied, and the location is just beautiful. Thank you so much! I will definitely be back!
