Carmel, California
Five minutes from Carmel or Monterey, this home is a dream get-away for a couple seeking quiet beauty and charm as a way to balance all the easily accessed fun of the Peninsula. This Jack's Peak secret paradise is a discovery you won't want to miss. This cottage used to be a milking barn for a small farm. It is now part of a very exotic estate on 23 acres in Jack's Peak. It is completely secluded and the entrance to the estate is gated. It is about 575 square feet, with a combined kitchen/living area, bedroom, and a bath with a shower. It was recently remodeled and is very comfortable. The patio area is lovely (one of the most enjoyable areas) and is enclosed by sequoia redwoods that are about 20 years old. It has a gas grill and a fire pit, as well as an overhanging grape arbor.
The house is heated when necessary by a wood burning stove/fireplace. (There is plenty of wood to fuel the fires!) The passive solar from the windows on the patio are usually sufficient to heat the house, however. Space heaters that quickly warm it are also available.
There is a wonderfully comfortable King size bed. The glass-sided shower is tiled to the ceiling and the shower head with hose is marvelous with several settings. Luxury shampoos and towels are provided.
The "water closet" (toilet) has its own small private space.
Guest Access
Guests will have ample private parking and of course the private patio area.
There are beautiful Arabian horses on the property who love any extra apples you might want to share on the way to a hike in Jack's Peak Regional Park, which is an easy walk from our driveway. 900 acres to hike and enjoy the view.
Interaction with Guests
I will greet you and go over essentials. Thereafter I will be available by phone to help with any questions or issues. There are other residents on the estate who could help in an all-out emergency, but privacy for all is the rule of the day.
The Neighborhood
We love the birds! Owls, Redwing Hawks. Oh so many birds. We feed them, too. Our neighbors treasure their privacy and this is considered a rural neighborhood, with five acre minimums to build. Very quiet, and we ask our guests to be relatively quiet also.
Amazing property away from the hustle and bustle, but conveniently located near restaurants and shopping. The host was wonderful. Overall a fantastic experience.

This property is so beautiful. The aesthetics outside were delightful. We love Carmel.. we would like to see the owner update the listing, because there was no outdoor tub that was usable. We tried heating up water in a tea pot to warm up some warm water from the Spicket but when we tried to get in it, it was not usable. We also tried to use the little fireplace that they had in there as it was extremely cold at night, but the fireplace wouldn’t keep a fire going. I guess because it hadn’t been cleaned properly. We were able to borrow a space heater though, and that helped tremendously. We were also disappointed that there were not Arabian horses there the owner told us that they had to move them to a different property because of the dry dust.
Loved our stay here….nestled up amongst the trees so it was very peaceful and secluded. Loved relaxing watching the fog roll through in the morning. Comfy bed!
Fabulous property and exceptional host Wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Carmel
Had a wonderful stay in a peaceful retreat. Highly recommend!
I was looking for a quiet place for me and my dogs for the July 4th holiday. My cozy cabin was perfect. Peterson was a wonderful host and I felt at home while there. I would go again.
My husband, dog, and I had a great time in the cute little casita. Very comfy bed and beautiful surroundings. The location can’t be beat! Peterson was a great host. He even left us some wine and fresh baked bread upon arrival!
Will stay again
This place was in te country and very quiet with an artistic and very functional house plus a huge deck. Sunny every day (above the fog line) and we mostly stayed at the place. Took some nice hikes. The host was wonderful and we want to go back soon.
OMG! Where to begin! Peterson was amazingly hospitable. His Casita was perfect with a fabulous patio. My Newfie, Linus was treated like royalty. The fire pit and fireplace were wonderfully cozy after a day at the beach. 2 huge screen TVs with all the amenities. My favorite thing was not hearing any traffic, just birds. It was so awesome. This property has so many artifacts and art work. You can tell much love went into this. One could easily spend hours strolling the grounds looking at everything. I want to live there! We will be back. It is also 5 minutes to Carmel and Monterey.
Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful property! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay although cell reception and WiFi service was very weak which just meant more downtime and relaxation!
