Nice guest house on a large property. There is some road noise but not bad. Generally a peaceful country setting. Very clean and updated unit with nice and accommodating owners. Near a large regional park for hiking.
Bob’s guest house is great. It’s well appointed and had everything we could possibly need. It was spotlessly clean and the grounds are lovely. The bed is remarkably comfortable and the shower is amazing. It’s a lovely place. Highly recommend.
We really enjoyed our stay and everything was terrific. The layout of the space was perfect and was everything was the best it could be. The shower even had seven nozzles! The hosts were extremely attentive and answered very quickly to any questions we had. This place is fantastic! You should definitely stay here and we will be back for sure.
This was a wonderful, relaxing place to stay. The guest house was perfect and the location was close to many activities. The hosts were friendly and responded quickly.
Amazing stay! The room was spotless, the kitchen well-equipped, and Jae and Bob, the hosts, were so welcoming. Loved the beautiful, private yard and the relaxing hot tub which was perfect for unwinding. Highly recommend
We really enjoyed our stay here. The property is spacious and peaceful. The guest house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. It’s in a great location off of Carmel Vally road close to the village and wine tasting. We hope to come back!
Room was perfect for my wife and I. Property was beautiful. Carmel vally village was super close with plenty of eating and wine tasting options. Carmel and Montery are a short drive through a beautiful area. Would definitely stay here again
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Jae and Bob's home. They were very friendly and helpful. The home was very clean and comfortable. The shower was amazing and the bed was very comfortable. The location was very convenient to be able to go back and forth to Laguna Seca and there were many good restaurants in Carmel Valley. I highly recommend Jae and Bob's home and would love to stay there again if we go back to the area
Beautiful property and lovely owners. what a treat this stay was. well stocked, delicious coffee, gorgeous groundskeeping. This truly felt like a Mother’s Day luxury. I would recommend this stay to anyone! You will not be disappointed, such a breath of fresh air this trip was!
Lovely, well-maintained property with the bonus of hot tub close to the guest house, heated bathroom floor and multi-jet shower. Robes and towels provided for hot tub and pool. Immaculately clean. Well equipped kitchen with good sized refrigerator. Responsive host. Very friendly cats who will keep you company outside. Convenient location just a few minutes drive from village center. Considerations: guest house sits directly on main road; mattress is extra firm.
Lovely, well-kept property -- nice both within the guest house and outside setting in the patio area. Top quality interior space, furnishings, modern kitchen/bath appointments.
Carmel Valley is so beautiful and this was a delightful place to stay. The garden and hot tub are a nice touch. Having a small kitchen and good sized refrigerator is another plus. I would definitely come back for another stay.

About the host
Hosted by Jae Butler
Why they chose this property
The Guest house is a 20 minute drive from the Monterey Peninsula airport. Just off Carmel Valley Road, it is exactly 10 miles from the intersection of Carmel Valley Road with California Highway 1. From the airport, however, the best approach is to drive east on California Highway 68 to Laureles Grade, turn right and go over the grade, which ends at Carmel Valley Road.
