I recently spent a night at this charming stand-alone cottage at Carmel River Inn, and the stay was a delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, the private entrance provided a sense of exclusivity and relaxation. The cottage was well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The interior featured home-style furnishings, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The cozy living space was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. Additionally, the fast Wi-Fi made it easy to stay connected and catch up on emails. We were also thrilled to find that the cottage is pet-friendly! We were allowed to bring our dog, and the hosts went above and beyond by providing him with treats, a plate, and a sheet. It made the stay even more enjoyable, knowing our furry friend was well cared for. The private patio was another highlight, offering a peaceful space to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature. The large garden area around the cottage was beautiful, and we loved exploring it. The sound of the river nearby added to the tranquility of the place, and we even spotted various birds, including a majestic owl. It was a wonderful escape into nature. Carmel River Inn has a long history, adding a unique charm and character to the experience. It’s wonderful to stay at a place with such a rich past while still offering modern comforts. The location was also ideal — Downtown Carmel is just a 5-minute drive away, offering easy access to dining, shops, and galleries. Plus, parking by the cottage was a breeze, making it hassle-free to come and go. Overall, this cottage offered comfort and privacy, making it an ideal choice for a peaceful retreat — especially for those traveling with pets. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cozy, pet-friendly getaway with the bonus of being so close to downtown Carmel, having easy parking, and enjoying the beautiful natural surroundings.

We booked a studio cottage and were placed in one of their vintage cottages with kitchenette. I loved the vintage style and garden scenery. River was across our cabin and we were surrounded by little fountains that created a super calming water asmr sleeping environment. Kitchenette was clean and fully stocked for two people. Water pressure was good and got pretty hot when we needed it. Bed was comfortable and clean. Location was great! It’s a 10 minute drive to most major Carmel tourist attractions like hiking or exploring downtown. Plaza across the highways was beautiful and offered a variety of local shops to explore. Our favorite was breakfast at Scratch!

We are local and wanted something different for a 50th birthday girl’s weekend near Carmel by the Sea. Quick ride share to downtown (2-3 miles) or walk down and across the street ( Highway 1) for available shopping and dining (About half a mile) The cabin we stayed in was a newer one and really nice. And clean! You can’t exactly SEE the Carmel River, but it is just over the berm. The whole cottages area is so cute. Can’t wait to see how all the new landscaping grows in in the coming years. The young man that checked me in was very friendly and pleasant.

Conveniently located off of Hwy 1, a few miles north of Point Lobos State Park and within short drives to downtown Carmel, Pacific Grove, Monterey, 17-mile drive (Pebble Beach). Bonus: The Crossroads Plaza is a mere .2 miles away. Our room in the upstairs of the main building: Clean & comfortable w/ a balcony overlooking Carmel River; comfy king-sized bed. Quiet refrigerator, good television. Perfect for a 2-night Monterey Peninsula getaway. ‘Would stay again when in the area.

Carmel River Inn has charm. We stayed in the hotel type rooms which are decorated in classic Carmel style The bed and linens were very nice. The view over the Carmel River was so pretty. Nice refrigerator but no microwave. The light fixtures were nice but the bulbs were too low wattage for us. There are super cute bungalows on the propert too and the landscaping is lovely.
