I love that this rental has dining and living room seating in proportion to the number of people it sleeps (so many rentals don't). With both a kitchen and a dining table, there was plenty of room for everyone, and we were able to set up our jigsaw puzzle on the gaming table, out of the way. All the beds were all quite comfortable; no "kids only" beds here. Useful to know: One of the bedrooms is a loft bedroom and one is downstairs, both are a floor away from the closest bathroom on the main floor. The route to the primary bedroom suite runs through one of the other bedrooms.The hostess, Cindy, was very responsive when minor issues and questions came up during our stay, and check- in was super smooth.Carmel Valley is beautiful and the views from the rental were amazing. There was abundant wildlife, with deer and wild turkeys being particularly common. The Carmel Valley Creamery down the hill has fabulous cheese and was a frequent stop for morning coffee.
