About this property

The Acorn is located 2 miles south of Carmel across Highway One from Point Lobos State Park - one of the most magnificent and picturesque areas on the West Coast. This property is located on approximately 5 acres on the top of a knoll overlooking Carmel Bay, Pebble Beach and Point Lobos. Surrounded by open space and park land, the Acorn is a very private setting yet only a 5 minute drive to a new Safeway, shopping and Carmel-by-the-Sea shops and dining. Golf, scuba diving, hiking, beaches -- all close by. Big Sur is a scenic drive just 40 minutes south on Highway One. In addition to the main house, there is a charming guest house with full accommodations.

The Main House: The main house features a king master suite with sliding glass doors that provide romantic, breathtaking views of Point Lobos and Pebble Beach and access to the home's expansive deck. There is also a queen bedroom with separate bathroom and dressing room that also has access to the deck via sliding glass doors. Two additional bedrooms each have two twin beds.
Guest House: The guest cottage is a charming, cozy 2-room cottage with a king bed, full bath, kitchenette and laundry. This unique cottage provides ultimate privacy from the main house should you so desire. Yet it is close enough to provide additional guest accommodations for friends or family.

We allow a maximum of 8 guests, including infants and children.

Please note , no Events of any kind are permitted at The Acorn Ranch Home.

We allow up to 2 dogs for a fee of $195.

3 Generation Family Birthday Celebration

We celebrated our daughter and sons 35th and 32nd birthdays with their spouses, our grandsons (4&1 years) and 2 golden labs. The house was spacious, furnished with everything we needed, had the most spectacular view, close to Pt Lobos, beach and Carmel, and provided our family with the perfect setting for a fun and relaxing vacation! We loved watching the horses in the pasture as well as the coyote, bobcat, turkeys, heron, bunnies. It was truly magical for our grandsons. Hope to come again! Thank you very much!

Mixture of wonderful and kindness.

We happened to be at The Acorn during an atmospheric river event and gale-force winds. I cannot say enough about the support and understanding we got from all the Whislers. Even though the weather was challenging, the house was solid and warm and comfortable, especially with the two fireplaces. The view was as spectacular during the storm as it is on beautiful sunny days. It is a VERY special place and we WILL be back.

Lovely Stay

This is a lovely interesting home that was perfect for a multi generational family gathering. There were so many amenities, from a well supplied kitchen to fireplaces. The location is every bit as good as the pictures.

What a wonderful home

This was our second stay at the Acorn. It is truly perfect for our family. So comfortable. We had four adults and two small children. Both the house and yard were exactly what we needed. We are from the East Coast, while our son and his family live in San Francisco. The Acornhas already become part of our family tradition. We are hoping to return many times in the future. Point Lobos state park, right across the road on the ocean, is spectacular. Sincere thanks to the Whisler family for making the Acorn available for guests!

Serenity at The Acorn

I cannot say enough about how lovely The Acorn was. The views! The history! The peace! We saw 4 types of hawks, osprey, deer, wild turkey. Simply breathtaking. From the moment we stepped inside, we knew this was exactly where we wanted to be - the house is stocked with plenty of linens and paper products and has a nicely set up gourmet kitchen. We will be back for sure!
