The Acorn is located 2 miles south of Carmel across Highway One from Point Lobos State Park - one of the most magnificent and picturesque areas on the West Coast. This property is located on approximately 5 acres on the top of a knoll overlooking Carmel Bay, Pebble Beach and Point Lobos. Surrounded by open space and park land, the Acorn is a very private setting yet only a 5 minute drive to a new Safeway, shopping and Carmel-by-the-Sea shops and dining. Golf, scuba diving, hiking, beaches -- all close by. Big Sur is a scenic drive just 40 minutes south on Highway One. In addition to the main house, there is a charming guest house with full accommodations.


The Main House: The main house features a king master suite with sliding glass doors that provide romantic, breathtaking views of Point Lobos and Pebble Beach and access to the home's expansive deck. There is also a queen bedroom with separate bathroom and dressing room that also has access to the deck via sliding glass doors. Two additional bedrooms each have two twin beds.
Guest House: The guest cottage is a charming, cozy 2-room cottage with a king bed, full bath, kitchenette and laundry. This unique cottage provides ultimate privacy from the main house should you so desire. Yet it is close enough to provide additional guest accommodations for friends or family.

We allow a maximum of 8 guests, including infants and children.

Please note , no Events of any kind are permitted at The Acorn Ranch Home.

We allow up to 2 dogs for a fee of $195.

    The Acorn was the perfect place to gather with our 3-generational family. Plenty of room to enjoy each other and the spectacular ocean views, animals and wildlife. We walked across the street to Pt Lobos State Park for exceptional hikes and to play on Monastery Beach. We cooked several delicious meals in the generously stocked kitchen. And slept great in the comfy beds. Mark responded quickly to a minor concern.

    This trip was well beyond our highest expectations. The home is gorgeous and very comfortable! Fantastic views from almost every room. The kitchen was very well equipped for cooking and baking. The location is spectacular, being within a quick walk to Point Lobos State Park and beach. The happy surprise was that the horse pasture butts right up to the deck of the house so we had friendly visits from two beautiful horses, close enough to pat and scratch them!

    We were blown away with how awesome the home was! Location, all of the cool things about the home itself, the view,-just everything!! It was so easy to get to so many locations that we wanted to visit--the beach, Carmel, Monterey, etc. We LOVED it, and would go back in a minute!

    Amazing property. Rustic charm (as an historic property should be) with everything we needed to enjoy our trip. Privacy and wonderful surroundings. We'll definately be back!

    Eights friend gathered at an amazing home with an amazing view of the ocean. Horses, cows, turkeys and herons roamed the hill below us. The home was roomy, comfortable and a great place to gather.

    We spent 5 days at the Acorn Ranch with extended family exploring point Lobos and the Big Sur area. The property is gorgeous, spacious, well stocked, and has amazing views from multiple rooms. We saw a lot of wildlife on the property as we relaxed at the home. It is the perfect base to explore the area. Highly recommended!

    We just completed our third stay at the Acorn. My wife and I, our son and his wife and our 2 grandchildren. The Acorn fits us to a T. Lots of room inside and out, a gorgeous view, great fireplaces. We play wiffle ball and soccer with the young kids out back, enjoy the spectacular Point Lobos Park across the street and visit the Aquarium. Very grateful to stay at this wonderful home.

    Our family gathered at this house to celebrate a big birthday. The house is huge and in a peaceful and beautiful location. It was convenient to go from there to Monterey and Point Lobos and the 17 mile drive and Big Sur. Our grandkids were excited to see the horses and cows and wild turkey in the back of the house. It was so pleasant to end our day on the patio in back and watch the beautiful sunset.
