"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.

The property is exactly as described and depicted. It is very charming and well maintained. The outside space is very nice with Adirondak chairs out front and a side patio with grills and a dining table. The shower has excellent pressure! The host is extremely helpful and accommodating. The location is walkable to the Basilica, Carmel-by-the-Sea and a few local beaches. I would definitely recommend booking this VRBO

Wonderful guests and a real pleasure to host these fine folks! It is always fun to have guests who know how to make the most of what Carmel and our cottage have to offer.
I took one star off "Communication" as it is always best to let owners know in advance there will be doggies. They were not a problem (we allow dogs anyway) but still it is helpful to know in advance.
Please come again, vaya con dios!

Wonderful, highly recommend! My husband and I, along with our daughter and small dog, stayed at Carmel Cozy Cottage for 2 nights. The cottage itself is so warm and unique in character, with an enclosed front yard for our dog. We walked to the Mission Trail Park, and took a short drive to the village of Carmel and the beautiful shoreline. Would definitely stay here again.

The Folly
Pros: Great location. Near the beach, Carmel Main Street, shopping, trails, Monterey and 17 mile drive. Owner is very responsive..excellent communications. Offered to assist us in any way Great fenced front yard, excellent if you have pets. We had dogs and they enjoyed the yard immensely Cons:Double bed…although very comfortable it is small. The air in the house was musty and stale when we arrived. We kept windows open and fan in living area going the entire time and it seemed to help air out the place We enjoyed our stay. Took evening strolls at Mission Trail Park every evening with the dogs and hiked a short trail at Garland Ranch Regional Park

Overall, nice stay at convenient location. The host, Curt, is nice, welcoming, and fast email response. He lives on premise. I deduced 1 star since there could be room for improvement. There was blanket and sheets folded, but had hair all over it. Bathroom lacked TP after the hanging roll was over. There was used shampoo bottles, samples from hotels. Frig had bottle of used wine. Hope the future has improvements.

Hard to be perfect! We will try harder to make sure there is ample TP (there usually is and we provided more the next day!), the blankets and sheets (for the folding couch) were freshly washed the night before and folded,,, we do allow dogs but... and finally, we do on occasion leave "left-overs" (wine, sodas, certain foods, medicine cabinet stuff and hotel comp items such as shampoo bottles) for our guests if we think they might appreciate them, but this minimal at best. It is difficult to anticipate our guests' expectations, but our thinking is it is nicer to have a glass of wine and some basic supplies after traveling and if not appreciated guests can always just throw away! Hate to lose a star over these small issues, but we will try harder to assure there is adequate TP!

Home is exactly as listed/pictured. Kitchen completely stocked for preparing meals. It is very homey, well appointed and welcoming. The large grassy, completely fenced-in lawn/front yard is a wonderful option for dogs to go potty and to get some romping and playing in. Communication with the host is easy and quick. Be aware the host dogs are NOT fans (nor welcoming) of visiting dogs but we only had 1 run-in with them upon check-in during our tour with the host. Otherwise, we didn't see them again throughout our three day stay. Also, being our dogs are VERY adept at finding things they shouldn't, we are extra cautious at searching for digestibles upon entering new vacation homes and I was worried to find a white pill that had been left under one of the nightstands, so just be aware. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay. Comfortable, quiet, homey, and GREAT water pressure and temperature!

Thank you for your review. It is difficult to anticipate the needs of those with air quality sensitivity, and yes, there are a lot of (some would say) interesting curios in the cabin, but it is far from dusty or dirty. We will try to do better, as this is the first air quality complaint we have had. I will instruct housekeepers accordingly.

We had an amazing two-night stay at this charming cabin. The host was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. The cabin is very private and secluded, which is perfect for those who want a peaceful getaway. The front yard is especially beautiful if you travel with furry friends. The location is also convenient, as everything on the Monterey Peninsula is within a short drive. Big Sur and downtown Carmel are just a few minutes away. The pictures don’t do justice to the cabin’s charm and love. It’s a truly special place.

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Curt Hays
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."!
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
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.
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement 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.
