About this property

Carmel Cozy Cabin, close to everything Carmel!

"The Folly" is conveniently located to downtown Carmel, the Carmel Mission, the Mission Ranch restaurant and just a brief walk to the Mission Trails Park, or perhaps even a longer (but enjoyable!) walk around the coast via the Meadows Trail to Point Lobos State Park. Built in 1965 by the owners, it is a one-of-a-kind custom-built open beam post adobe cabin offering an open floor plan (split level). The upper level is the bedroom and bathroom, which overlooks the lower level of the living room, dining area, a kitchenette/bar with a sink, refridge and microwave (no cooking allowed under local regulations!). Quiet (guest "quiet time" is from dusk to dawn), private, romantic, and outside the porch overlooks a large and secure private yard for the kids (or doggies) and is uniquely Carmel. Furnished with fine antiques, books, glassware, and many other amenities, the Folly anticipates everything you might need for a special stay. Clean, quiet and cozy, the Folly offers maximum privacy and space, including secure off-street parking, a large lawn area and private patio. You won't find anything quite like it for a truly unique and conveniently located accommodation while visiting Carmel-by-the-Sea.

About the area

Carmel

Located in Hatton Fields, a neighbourhood in Carmel, this cabin is in a rural area and by the sea. Pebble Beach Golf Links and Fisherman's Wharf are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Carmel Beach and Monterey Bay. Check out an event or a game at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, and consider making time for Monterey Bay Aquarium, a top attraction not to be missed. Kayaking and scuba diving offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cycling and rock climbing nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Curt Hays

Host profile image
We are a retired husband and wife (45 years!) who live in the main house on the hillside above the Folly. The main house was constructed by the owners' parents in 1948, and the current owner was born there and over the years has personally designed and built his own additions to the property. The Folly was custom built by my father and I in 1965. As life-long residents, we love to welcome guests to our little village and to "The Folly."!

Why they chose this property

Unique, cool and comfortable. The charm of the Folly is second to none in our area. The location affords easy access (walking distance) to Carmel-by-the-Sea, the Carmel Mission and Carmel Beach. Easy to find and convenient to Highway 1 and the coast, Carmel Valley, and the Monterey region. Located in the quiet Hatton Fields neighborhood, it offers a safe and secure spot to visit the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur.

What makes this property unique

Truley one-of-a-kind, no kidding.! We truly feel the Folly offers "more bang for the buck" than other vacation rentals in the immediate Carmel vicinity and the hosts try to offer that 'something extra' to assure a memorable stay to our visiting guests. We like to call the "vibe" of the Folly "funky-shui" but with five-star amenities.
