My two teens and I had a great time staying here! Location is beautiful, the space was just right for us & our puppy. We also liked the proximity to Carmel & Monterey. We would absolutely stay here again!
The property was very clean. It was just as described a very cozy cabin. We also had our dogs with us and the side yard was perfect for them to go out when they needed. We really enjoyed this trip. Thank you so much.
We had a wonderful stay!!! The cabin is very clean and had a lot of small details that made it just lovely to stay in. It had everything we needed and then some. Carmel valley village is lovely with a lot of delicious wine and food as well. Perfect getaway for a few days.
The stay was very nice and comfortable. We loved all the amenities and decor. A lot of thought and care was put into this cozy cabin for guests to enjoy. We liked that it was pet friendly and the dogs enjoyed the freedom of the yard.
Great place tastefully designed with a great patio overlooking the valley! We had a wonderful time walking to the tasting rooms at Carmel Valley, so charming! Love to be back soon!
It was wonderful! So cozy and our fur baby loved the deck and fenced yard.
The weather was perfect and Carmel Valley is so beautiful, great little shops, restaurants too!
Hope to visit again soon!
Rachelle's little cabin is so warm and comfy we had no problem feeling at home! It was raining most of our stay but we still had the best time staying in and making a nice warm fire. Thank you for sharing your home - we've made some great memories there!
We loved the cozy little cabin. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The bed was super comfortable. The dogs liked the backyard to run around in. Lots of treasures in town, the delightful walkable bakery and cute tasting rooms.
Beautiful spot with all the amenities. Fulk kitchen. Made all our meals here.Stayed here for the Big Sur marathon. Rachelle was a great host. Very responsive. Would definitely stay again.
The rustic cabin is so much better than the photos, very cute and roomy. We loved cooking in the kitchen and barbequeing on the deck-great grill. Most of our time in the afternoon, we spent on the deck. A lot of shade and a wonderful breeze. Everything was clean and well stocked! Just a short walk was a nice, inexpensive Mexican restaurant. We hope to visit this rustic cabin again!
Wonderful cozy cabin within walking distance to wine tasting and restaurants. Kitchen was well equipped and appreciated the convenience and availability of the washer & dryer. Rachelle was a wonderful host she was quick to respond when needed and a pleasure to speak with. Overall great stay and would surely come back.
This is a wonderful cozy cabin…quiet, comfortable and very relaxing. Rachelle was delightful to deal with and always got right back to us and the cabin was clean and well equipped.
Will definitely stay there again.
Thank you Rachelle!
Great visit to Carmel Valley! Great restaurants, wine tasting, friendly people. Will come again. Accommodations were great - spacious living room with good sized kitchen. Quiet neighborhood and not too far to walk to village area.
We stayed here for two nights to attend a wedding in the area. The cabin was adorable, spotlessly clean and great location. Very good communication, easy check-in (as long as you don't have to use the keypad) and comfortable bed. Lots of towels and treats!
We had a wonderful stay at Rachelle’s place. Super cozy, comfortable bed, great backyard space with a wonderful view and amazing decor. Really feels like a cabin. We enjoyed our stay and got to meet with Rachelle. She’s so incredibly nice and easy to talk to. 10/10 would stay again!
Our second stay here and the owner keeps the place up nicely. Cozy and comfy, enough of everything, fenced in yard for the dogs, easy access to Carmel Valley stores and the wonderful community river walks for the dogs. Easy access to Carmel and Monterey for charging our EV.
This was our first stay in Carmel Valley, and what a treat this cabin is. Best spot is the outdoor patio. We were outside enjoying the canyons when two eagles soared about 10 feet over our head, wow! The cabin is located in a very quiet neighborhood but the village full of shops and restaurants is within walking distance. The host Rachelle is very friendly and attentive. We highly recommend this cabin, it’s a ten out of ten!
Rachelle's cozy, elegant cabin is tucked away in a quiet corner of Carmel Valley, yet minutes from some fine dining places, and a quick drive into Carmel and Monterey. Absolutely everything you might need for cooking, sleeping, enjoying life is there, and the cabin itself is beautifully decorated. Highly recommend this gem!

Why they chose this property
Creating this cabin retreat was a fun project and a quest for me. I drew inspiration from travels to wild places and I strove to bring beautiful elements of the outdoors and nature inside.
What makes this property unique
A cabin atmosphere in an exquisite area of California. Perfect for those who love wine tasting, as there are 11 wine tasting rooms within walking distance, as well as only a 20 minute ride to Carmel By the Sea, and only 30 minutes to Monterey's Cannery Row, Pebble Beach and other Monterey Peninsula attractions.
