Relax to the Sound of the River while you soak in a Private Hot Tub

Safe and quiet place to get away

We really enjoyed our stay here. All of the accommodations were clean and cozy. The hot tub was awesome! We loved the peaceful surroundings.

The property is very cozy for a quick getaway. Amazing hot tub and a very comfortable sleeping arrangement. Although, the place is located quite far from most activities or attractions and the road up can seem daunting. We did have a problem with a propane leak which they fixed.

Mice everywhere inside. Spiders in webs in the corners. The coffee pot still had dirty grounds in it. The hot tub was filthy. My husband said he felt like a toad in a stew pot. Caution.

The drive to Refuge by the River was 5.5 miles up a steep, narrow road with many curves. It took about 30 minutes from Carmel Valley Village. The trailer was clean and well supplied and had nice views of the hills. Our stay was limited to one night since the distance and road was not favorable for the entire weekend stay.

Once we got there we enjoyed the solitude and peace of this beautiful neighborhood. But I have to admit that we were surprised by how how far out it was from Carmel Valley road. We drove up a windy country road for almost 6 miles and it took 20-25 minutes due to taking it slowly and watching out for other cars and deer. Again, it was beautiful, but it was a long drive for us. I wish the location map in the app was more accurate. We slept to the sounds of nature very comfortably. The bed is nice and comfy. The kitchen is pretty amazing for an RV. I appreciated the assortment of sharp knives. A rarity in a rental. The hot tub is a big plus. The first night it was lukewarm but it heated up for the next 2 nights. The power went out a couple times and the hot tub shut down. This problem resolved within an hour. The shower works well but I really disliked the sewer smell rising up from the drain. And the remote on the TV did not work after the 1st night. I let the host know but nothing wss done to resolve this.

We had a fantastic one night stay at this property. The kitchen was well stoked with everything we needed. The spa was a great feature. Nice and quiet place to switch off

Perfect two person stay away for the busy world. About 45min outside of Monterey. 20 minutes from a small town with gas, local marketplaces, and food! The spa was a perfect touch with an amazing view of the valley!
