The Lodge On The Carmel River

Host was fabulous, very responsive throughout the stay. Very charming updated cabin, with a great kitchen to stay home.

We had a wonderful time. Quiet, peaceful, and very welcoming!

The perfect combo of a rustic cabin and updated amenities like kitchen and bath. Outdoor patios and spaces very welcoming. Location awesome! Not truly walking distance to the heart of the village but a great little road to get there for all the great eating spots, wineries, art. We loved it!

We recently stayed at this rustic rental home by the river, and it was exactly what we needed for a quiet, nature-filled escape. The location is absolutely stunning—tucked away in a peaceful setting with the soothing sound of the river just steps away. Mornings on the porch with a cup of coffee and evenings by the fire pit were highlights of my stay.The host (Courtney) is so friendly and very supportive throughout the stay, always checking to see if we needed anything.The house is just a few minutes away from Carmel village, and we ate the juiciest strawberries and avocados for a quarter of the price in LA metro. Definitely a gem worth coming back for.

What a beautiful and beautifully situated place this is. Bright, peaceful, quiet, and airy, this home was a lovely retreat for us during a busy wedding weekend. The home has plenty of space, lots of light, and a lovely, meandering riverside garden with wonderful terraces and decks overlooking the Carmel River. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, and the lovely bath products were a treat. And the location was perfect—6 minutes from the winery wedding venue! Thank you for a wonderful weekend.
