Moonglow: Forest tranquility minutes from downtown Carmel.
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (221)
"This serene cottage was exactly what we needed. The bed was impressively comfortable and allowed us to get full night's of sleep, which is not the norm. The location could not have been better, central to everything but nestled away to provide the quiet we desired. The patio itself was a little oasis away from the hustle of daily life. And Chuck and Diane were absolutely wonderful, welcoming hosts."

"Such a unique property with lots of charm and character! This was my first time in an airstream, and I was delighted by the experience. I stayed as a solo traveler, and I'm sure it could feel a little cramped for a couple (I stayed in the "Deluxe" which is the smallest version), but as long as you like each other I'm sure it would be fine ;) Extra props to the staff, whose communication was outstanding and made everything so easy. They also check in with you throughout your stay to make sure...
