Near the top of the hill in Calera Canyon, the sweeping panoramic views of golden live-oak studded hillsides will lull you into a tranquil sense of ease, fulfillment and well-being. Expansive redwood deck, comfortable living room with floor length canyon views. The bedrooms are 18' x 24' with spacious double closets. Soak up the sunniest part of the Monterey Peninsula while you gaze across John Steinbeck's fabled Pastures of Heaven.

Constant sunshine, pastoral ambiance, fascinating wildlife, on a three acre nature-scaped mountainside parcel and forever views that inspire and rejuvenate the soul.

Carmel Valley is the sunniest part of the Monterey Peninsula and the perfect climate. It has California's best weather with temperatures in the 60°s F to low 70°s nearly all year. Deer, wild turkeys, quail, raccoons and the occasional shy bobcat are all local citizens. Just far enough from town that skies are bright, twinkling and sometimes meteor streaked.
Ample driveway parking but be cautious turning around. Twelve miles from Monterey Airport, just off Corral de Tierra Rd. Within 20 - 30 minutes of downtown Monterey, Pebble Beach, Carmel or Pacific Grove. Carmel Valley, Laguna Seca 10-15 minutes. The start of Big Sur is a little over 30 minutes.

Our family of four really enjoyed staying at this property for a Monterey getaway. The home is located in a beautiful valley which we loved looking at each morning and evening. Travel to and from Monterey was short and we were able to fit in the Aquarium, whale watching, restaurants, and a visit to the CSUMB campus.
Amazing property tucked up in the hills - a little difficult to get to because of the terrain/location, but Dutch and Carolyn provided very clear instructions. Awesome views, very quiet, incredibly clean and home-y. Would definitely stay here again.
The property is just as described. The 2 bedrooms are of good sizes. Very clean. The main attraction is definitely the deck which we enjoyed morning, early evening and late at night for star gazing.
We have enjoyed our visits over the years to the Monterey Bay area, but this trip we were looking for a place closer to Pinnacles National Park. Dutch and Carolyn have done a wonderful job making the lower level and deck feel like a private vacation home, and Corral de Tierra is a beautiful setting with pleasant weather. We highly recommend this home to families and couples, especially if you'd like to be in a location that is just an hour away from both Pinnacles and Big Sur (and much closer to Monterey and Pacific Grove).
We had a really nice stay, the property owners live upstairs and were very communicative.
If you are a light sleeper, you can hear them walking around, but overall not an issue.
The view is gorgeous, property was sorta hard to find the first time because it’s super dark and we went at night.
What a great house in a gorgeous location! The house is nestled at the top of rolling hills overlooking a beautiful valley. Views are absolutely stunning, both evening and morning! The house is perfect for a family or group looking to enjoy Carmel, Big Sur, etc, who would also like to see the hills and valleys surrounding the coast. The house is clean and well appointed; we did not lack for anything. Hosts are very communicative and hospitable. Definitely recommend!
Place was great. If you have any concern about staying in the lower part of the property, don't. They communicated via VRBO to check in on us and we felt completely private. We were aware of the limited kitchen options but was no problem at all. The first evening we stopped at the Safeway and grabbed heat up meals and some snacks for the deck and the second night we just grabbed to go food and brought it up. Easy and was lovely getting back to the property to sit on the deck and enjoy the view. The coffee and treats in the room were perfect for morning snacks before we got on the road for our day.

Hello Kristen, Thank you for staying with us. We are glad you enjoyed the apartment and private deck.
We had a good visit here, with the big pros being the views of the canyon behind the house, good internet, clean place, very large deck, although we coudn't use it since it rained while we were there. The cons are: remote location, winding narrow roads getting there (no problem if you're used to country roads), minimal amenities (no kitchen, no TV, limited areas to hang out when the weather is bad). I also had a hard time sleeping because I'm a light sleeper and I could hear everything from the owners upstairs (walls are very thin). If you're a light sleeper, I recommend earplugs.
We had a good weekend overall—the bed in the one bedroom where we slept was very comfortable and the location was gorgeous. We had no problem finding it in the dark because of the excellent directions. We were pretty cold down there with just space heaters but then it has been an unseasonably cold winter here. I wouldn’t call the living room comfortable, with just one futon that faces the windows in an awkwardly leaning back position and bungee corded together. We had planned to be there with my mother-in-law, and I’m glad she couldn’t come in the end because we wouldn’t have had anywhere besides the dining table to hang out in the evening. Glad to be able to have our dog there. Thanks!

Alexis, Thank you for your review. We do add a memory foam topper to the queen futon when it is setup as a bed. I’m sorry the weather wasn’t better so you could use the 800 square foot deck with your unit.

Off the beaten path
We stayed here for easier access to get to the raceway; however, it was not as close as it seemed due to the canyon roads that this location requires you to drive in order to reach the destination.
The accommodation itself is clean and welcoming, just be careful when entering the side door at night as there are many unexpected steps and I almost face planted (my fault for not using a light).
The two-car parking limit was undisclosed in the description, but it became too late to cancel when I found out. Also, undisclosed is the no smoking on the property rule.
Overall, 4/5. just be aware of the items mentioned above and it will be just fine.

Not family friendly
The property was easy check in and clean. We traveled with our small children and the location was not family friendly. They had space heaters and no tv. The drive to the property was extremely dreadful with flooded roadways and about a 15ml or more drive up one lane windy road with no lighting. We did not anticipate this at all. There was no lighting when entering at night either. After arriving we booked a hotel closer to the city. There’s no reception at this location either only wifi. The host was friendly but overall it was not what we expected so we did not stay. Also there’s a beautiful balcony with view but no smoking anywhere near property.

Hi Rubi, We are sorry you were not comfortable with the drive. We have had 11 atmospheric rivers this season so it was a bit wet that night. The road is paved and can fit two cars. We have never seen an accident. The garbage and Amazon trucks run the route. I recommend selecting TV in the listing filters for future bookings. Many people prefer tablets these days so we have invested in the faster internet. We are a non-smoking property as indicated in the listing. We have solar and motion lights leading to guest unit, We are glad you were able to take some breakfast snacks, tea, and juice before departing. We are sorry we could not accommodate your family.
