Time Honored Adobe Home - Sweeping Ocean View.

Beautiful views from the top of the hill. Rustic house that is simple and easy. Could use some mattress and furniture upgrades, otherwise a nice place to stay.

We had an amazing time here. The property and views are the perfect way to enjoy the location and it’s perfectly situated to visit Carmel, Monterey, and BiG Sur. We rested well and needed nothing except groceries while here. Everything was carefully considered and appointed. Thank you for the hospitality!

Wonderful, quiet place with a beautiful view. Perfect for a relaxing week and just minutes away from some of the most amazing hikes in California!

No can opener Always cold!!

Lovely ocean views from the mountain, very dog friendly, great walks in the surrounding state park. Very light and airy! We hated to leave!

We had a wonderful two week stay at this secluded Adobe cottage in the hills overlooking Carmel. The weather was cold at the beginning, so we enjoyed reading by the warmth of the LR fire which burned real wood amply provided. Once the clouds parted the temperatures rose into the 60s and we enjoyed morning gourmet coffee overlooking breathtaking views of mountains and sea. Lou was very responsive to our every need and his cleaning lady sweetly allowed us a grace period the day we packed up to leave. A unique & very special hideaway.

Exceptional place to give your brain a rest!

Mice problem, no internet

This is a magical place in all aspects. The view was incredible and the house had everything we needed. We were content staying at the property all day but it’s also close yo so many beautiful sites…point lobos, Garrapata, Carmel, etc…. I will definitely be staying again. Thank you for an unforgettable weekend stay!

This was the most magical place to stay. The view from the property is absolutely breathtaking, the photos don’t do it justice. My partner and I came here for our anniversary and it was the perfect escape from the city. The place is extremely cozy and roomy, and it has everything you need to cook out - we made steaks on the grill and the setup outside made for a perfect sunset dinner. Location is super convenient right across from Point Lobos if you’re in for a hike, or 10-15 min to Carmel if you’re looking to go explore there. One thing I would recommend is getting there before sunset - the directions to go up to the property are easy to follow, but it’s extremely dark and windy roads. Will hopefully come back again soon, we absolutely loved our stay!

The views were amazing and the host was equally so! Great romantic getaway spot!

Beautiful view. Secluded. Great kitchen. Great bathroom. Bedroom setup was perfect. Hope to come back!

It was a well appointed home. It had everything we needed. The views were amazing. Our dog enjoyed the house as well. And Lou was a very responsive host. The process of checking in and out was easy. We will be back.

A stunning property, the view is spectacular! The house is perfect and has everything that you need. Lou is an excellent host, quick to respond and extremely helpful. It was a peaceful and magical stay.

Beautiful views of Carmel-by-the-sea and Carmel Valley. Location somewhat inconvenient due to a 2 mile uphill winding narrow road that is in disrepair. Quiet and secure.Mattress rather soft. Took 2 dogs and yard not fenced so had to be on a leash when outside.

We felt like we had stepped back in time in the cozy home, except with all of the modern amenities and luxuries! This vintage, cozy home was so welcoming and so comfortable. We even had fresh flowers on our arrival. It is a drive up a mountain a bit and out of town but the respite from busy days was ideal for us. Would love to stay here again!

What a beautiful little cottage overlooking Carmel and Monterey bay. We shared a warm long weekend with our family. The fog and fireplace were lovely.

We had a fantastic stay at this property. The views were even more appealing than the listing can do justice to. We really enjoyed being inside and outside while we were there and taking in all that Carmel and the surrounding areas offered. Lou was great to work with throughout the process. Overall, a big thumbs up.

the view is spectacular and proximity to town hiking Big Sur - just a fabulous getaway!!

Just as advertised. The property was well maintained with a comfortable rustic charm. The kitchen was excellent and the beds comfortable. The location was just amazing. I’ve been all over the world and this is one of the most beautiful locations I’ve ever visited. Would definitely recommend 6 stars out of 5!

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home high in the hills overlooking the ocean and Carmel. The photos in the listing give you just a hint at the stunning scenery that envelops you - it was unbelievable. The home itself was comfortable and well appointed, nicely decorated. I really appreciated the privacy. It had everything I could have wanted for my stay. I loved it so much I started planning my next trip while I was still there. Spectacular!

We enjoyed our stay! The views were beautiful, and the house was warm and comfortable. The views were even more beautiful than in the listing.

Absolutely loved it! We’ll be back.

This is a lovely house, with a great kitchen for cooking! Also the bathroom is so nice, with heated floors and bidet, quite a step up from your typical short term rental. Lou was very responsive whenever I had a question. It’s in a beautiful location but it is a bit of a drive to get up there (price to pay for peace and quiet and a view!), just so people are aware.

We really enjoyed the place.

A beautiful home to stay in, in all weather, set in extraordinary landscape of sea forests and wildlife . We had a wonderful family Christmas , great cooking , open fires in the evenings and walks along the coastal paths and beaches.

Heaven on earth! Looking out I loved seeing the ocean to the left while my husband enjoyed the mountains to the right. We were so comfortable and the views so special that we were never in a hurry to leave. The pots of plants inside and out added an extra touch.

Grew up in Carmel. 30 yrs worth. I can say that the location and privacy with fantastic views of the Pacific/ Carmel and Mission Beach are outstanding as well as views out Carmel Valley. Charming home that has a wonderful kitchen along with nice bath and comfortable bedrooms. Having stayed in just about every location and type of homes on the Monterey Peninsula, I can say that this property is special. The drive up the hill to the top takes about 5-6 minutes. Not bad. From the bottom of the hill your are 5 minutes to groceries and dining. The owner is responsive and polite. A real pleasure ! Bring your binoculars...

This is an amazing place. Really well finished and the host is lovely. We had such a great time

Lou’s house just never disappoints! It’s our second stay and we loved it! The kids love it. The location is fantastic and warmer than in Carmel. House is clean and wonderful to star gaze as there’s no light pollution. The fans worked well to cool the sleeping rooms down. It makes for an unforgettable get away!

Felt like I was on Cloud 9. This is definitely the place to go to relax and enjoy the true beauty of God’s creation. And at the same time, shops and great restaurants were a mere 10 minutes away. This home is well equipped with lots of nice upgrades. My favorite being the heated bathroom floors. The owner is quite responsive and a really nice guy.

Quaint with amazing views. We enjoyed the gourmet kitchen and the patios around most of the property. The rosemary was blooming and a friendly lizard came out daily to enjoy coffee with us. Super bonus was that we were above the fog most of the time and enjoyed watching it roll in and out. The road way up is long and winding so glad they warned us ahead of time.....it was worth it:)

This house is amazing! So comfy and cute! The kitchen is fabulous and so is the bathroom. The view is fantastic! We would definitely book again.
