We stayed 3 days at the cottage & we had an amazing time! The house is updated and beautiful. We were able to take our dog with us & there was a nice trail nearby that he loved. Downtown Carmel & the beach was super close. Bill was a wonderful host! He gave us directions to some places in town & suggested one of our favorite recommendations for dinner at Bruno’s Market & Deli. 10/10 experience, we felt so lucky to stay here

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Bill was a fantastic host, very accommodating to our needs and gave us some great advice on places we should visit. The deck with loungers was a wonderful place to relax. In the cooler mornings and evenings we loved turning on the fireplaces for some warmth and ambiance. We would definitely stay here again.

Atherton cottage is a great getaway spot. It felt like an oasis while still being close to excellent restaurants and shops. The cottage had plenty of space and the king size bed was much appreciated. There are multiple outdoor patios/balconies, 2 of which have ocean views. Overall it was relaxing and would stay here again.

A great little cottage that is totally private and very cozy. Great space inside and a nice deck to enjoy. Parking is easy, and I love this location as I'm a walker and the wilderness trails are nearby for miles of hiking, plus for me it's an easy walk to the beach and the Mission. Great quiet neighborhood. I highly recommend this cottage and will definitely stay here again.

Cozy House in Carmel

Bill's house is a lovely spot to relax for a few days. The location is quiet and nice, just across the street from the Carmel Mission. We took a lovely walk to Carmel River State Park, then onto Carmel and Carmel Beach. The sunsets from both decks were fantastic. The house is cozy with 2 fireplaces, we really enjoyed our weekend there.
