  • We had a family get together here and it was great. The views from the house showed off sunsets that were slightly more beautiful than the sunrises. The hikes were nice and the house was cozy and spaceous. Thx

  • What a fantastic find! Our group of 8 came out for a road race, and enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of Lynn and Paul. The house is spacious and beautifully decorated, though we probably spent most of our time in the kitchen, cooking and eating! Other weekend highlights included: the perfect window seat for reading and bird watching, the large soaking tub in the master bedroom suite (perfect for after a race!), wonderful walking trail, and the awesome outdoor grill. We plan on coming again next year!

  • Beyond our expectations! Relaxing, elegant yet comfortable. Perfect views. Wild Turkeys. Running trail. Wine tasting with Lynn cannot be missed. Stayed here with 3 families, 2 toddlers. Perfect separation of "guest wing" and master wing. Can't say enough about our 5 days of magic, despite rain.

  • This Chateau is magic. The pictures understate its calm beauty, size, luxury and comfort. The kitchen and great room are wonderful for large groups to just hang out in and the living room is an oasis of peace. The wine tour with the owner is special, and the wines are excellent and a real treat, esp the unfiltered Chard. We also had Lynn arrange a chef - this was heaven. He made everything from scratch at the house. We were in Carmel for the day, returned to candles lit everywhere, an atmosphere of magic, and the most amazing smells coming from the kitchen. The many course meal served with wine pairings was simply out of this world. The setting for this home is gorgeous and very private. Great views. Great walks and runs. This home easily accomodates 3 couples, each in a spacious bedroom,each bedroom with its own character and calm elegance, plus kids elsewhere (or another couple can take the study with its own ensuite). We all just loved this place, and would return in a flash. The grace, kindness and intelligence of the owners are reflected throughout this home. We left with many fond memories, and a real desire to return to this magical chateau. Note also that while many places say dog freindly, they often arent so friendly. This one really is - your dog will be welcome, and will love flopping out on the (stunning big board) hardwood floors, and going for walks through the paths and grounds. This home has my highest recommendation.

  • We booked this chateau as part of my cycling team/club's annual training camp lodgings. Though I wasn't involved in camp planning, I was more than pleased to be staying here. The views are quite gorgeous, especially in the evening and the location was perfect for our team...a nice climb/downhill from the main access roads that was part of our training rides. The house was more than adequate to comfortably accomodate about 10 members of our team and the wine tasting was a special bonus. Oh, the Chardonnay and Pinot that they make on site...good stuff.

  • We had a wonderful stay in Carmel Valley, the house is wonderfully built in a a beautiful isolated valley. Nature is abundant in short hikes around the house. Don't miss on the wonderfull wine tasting hosted by the winemakers and owners. Highly recommended for a wonderful family gathering or a getaway of any sort.

  • We had such an amazing weekend - we kayaked in the Elkhorn Slough, cooked to our hearts content, played board games, drank wonderful wine, enjoyed the most beautiful vistas and the glorious scents of lavender from your home - it truly was paradise. Our jaws dropped when we saw the size and finishes - really beautiful and definitely a selling point. Ditto for the view out the back, though I'm sure it's difficult for pictures to do it justice. It was really nice to have toiletries in the bathrooms and thank you for the kind use of some of your pantry items. We all had hot water all the time, comfortable beds, great linens, and it was great for a group of our size (8) as we weren't all on top of each other. We all felt that it was an Extremely good decision to stay with you and wouldn't have changed a thing about our stay - thank you again and we'll keep you in mind for similar trips and/or to refer others.

  • Two couples stayed at this secluded French Chateau in the Carmel Valley hills. We went for a lovely walk in the country and through vineyards as well as enjoyed this spacious, extremely clean and comfortable home. It was 5 minutes away from the Bernardus Lodge where we ate sumptuous meals (Wickets and Marinus restaurants), & 8 minutes from the charming Carmel Valley Village. The views were not only beautiful but brought a sense of serenity to our hectic pace of life. We loved the Koi pond too. We'll return as often as we can!
