Cozy Private Cottage • Near Monterey & Carmel

Nice place to stay for the night. The owners were very nice and their dog was so cute! Would definitely stay again!

Rats in the walls, scalding hot water only or cold. Gathering space in a wide chair only in the entry hall. No windows in the two tiny bedrooms. Glass doors between the bedrooms. Heater comes on with a loud clap! Very poor communication with the owner who never returned calls. Stayed one miserable night of the two nights only.

Our stay was good. Youngest daughter's 18th Birthday beach trip. Was very fun..

The kitchen is well stocked with all the basics, including things like cooking oil and spices. The bathroom included shampoo, conditioner, and body wash (the listing doesn’t specify this). The layout is odd—the bedrooms are tiny and the beds are really crammed in there. The bathroom is huge, probably larger than the bedrooms. The living room is more of a foyer and definitely not set up for any more than 2 people. The furniture and decor is kind of random, like they raided someone's grandma's attic, but it's all totally functional. The location is convenient - easy access to highways to get to Pinnacles NP or Monterey etc. It is not walkable to any stores or restaurants - about a 5 minute drive to any stores.

It was easy to travel around Monterey and Carmel from this spot.

A pleasant and well located cottage with a nicely stocked kitchen.

This was our second time staying in the cottage. It works nicely for us as our grandchildren live just up the street. Quite comfortable and it nice having a kitchen.

Quiet and beautiful area. The property needs a deep cleaning and updates. The furniture needs to be deep cleaned in what is called the living room. The walls in the space need to washed and/or painted. The shower drainage is slow causing the water to rise when showering, which is gross. The shower door needs to be scrubbed as well. Left over soap scum at the bottom of the door was gross. I wore shower shoes the entire time. The floors of the property were not clean either. So walking barefoot was not an option. Looking at the cleanliness of the overall space just need a thorough deep cleaning and wiping down. I would suggest checking any dates on the perishables as well. I made a cup of coffee and could not drink it as the creamer smelled spoiled and curdled in the coffee. Honestly I expected more for the cost. Cleanliness is so important. So much potential but could be more presentable to guests.

The only real issue was that we were staying in this cottage to get away from a hotel experience and so were surprised when the chateau identified themselves as a hotel. Luckily it was not the traditional hotel experience.

Cozy quite place. A little small (1 bed and 1 bank bed) but it was enough for us - family of 4. HUGE bathroom. Basketball and Pool table are a nice touch. Stand alone unit with everything necessary in the separate kitchen. That was a deal for us. Everything within short drive. Awesome stay.
