The house is spacious, charming, nicely decorated and in a quiet area. The kitchen is modern and filled with natural light. The outside fireplace and the pool are large. There are pack and plays for little kids, cartoons and TV. My family had a great time and only wish they had stayed longer.

This home is a wonderful find. It is located perfectly- just down the street from the quaint Carmel Valley village, close enough to Garlands trails and the Safeway...yet feels tucked away and private. We rented it for a week for a family reunion (6adults and 3 kids), and the house exceeded our expectations. The layout of the house was perfect, the pool was used at least 4 times a day and the pool cover was excellent for small children, and the outdoor fireplace was a wonderful end to every evening. Top notch on every level - would highly recommend. We created so many lovely memories and would love to return.
Owner response:Fran, I am so pleased that you enjoyed "Provence in Carmel Valley" and made wonderful family memories together. That is exactly why I do this! My home is meant to be shared with those that appreciate it. Hope to be able to welcome you once again! Diane

We stayed in this home on our highway one excursion for a couple of nights and wished we would have planned more time. The host made us feel like family. The home speaks for itself with all of the luxuries of a 5 star hotel, only very private. We will definitely stay again when in the area.
Owner response:So happy that you enjoyed your stay and are considering returning in November. It will be great to welcome you back again this year.

I have just returned from a heavenly weekend at this wonderful home in Carmel Valley. The house exceeded every expectation of our group. The setting was lovely and private, the bedrooms perfectly appointed, and the terrace and pool such a perfect oasis that it was difficult to tear ourselves away from the property to go into town. No detail had been overlooked -- amazing sheets, sumptuous bathrobes, a fully-equipped kitchen. The home is ideally located in Carmel Valley just up the street from Bernardus and near Carmel Valley village. We could not have been more thrilled with the house or our stay. Lastly, the property's lovely owner, Diane, greeted us with a warm welcome and went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect for our stay. An ideal retreat in every way! Thank you!

Our family of 6 stayed in this beautiful home when our oldest son was getting married. The property is gracious, comfortable and so much nicer to stay in than a hotel. It was perfect!

Beautiful house, really a lovely and luxurious stay. There's something about the air, the views, the gnarled oak trees that is very unique. We stayed there with 2 couples and 3 young children, had lots of space and privacy (from neighbors & fellow guests) plus all the amenities we could want. The automatic pool safety cover gives great peace of mind with little kids around. Highly recommended.
