While we frequently have friends and business associates visit us and recommend them to the Carmel Valley Ranch we recently had our house fumigated and needed a local hotel to repair to. While the two day tab at CV Ranch would have left little change from a thousand dollar bill we decided, upon the recommendation of several friends, to try... More

This is a lovely little place that's Hugo for families with kids as well as everyone else. Little chalets, a bit dated but that really didn't matter as they're clean and well maintained, sit in a group in trees just above the little road that potters through Carmel valley. Each has an open terrace with sun loungers tho these seem... More

Great location right at tge end of tge village. nice and private. The hostess/owner Stephanie was very nice and helpful. Highly recommend

The Blue Sky Lodge is really a unique place among the many other modern resorts/hotels offered in the area. The property has a nice, comfortable layout and is quietly tucked away from the main road, yet walking distance to local shops and restaurants.

There doesn't look like there has been any updates done since the 60s. The rooms are in desperate need of a coat of paint. The bed, was the... More

We stayed there over Christmas 2012. The location is not great if one wants to visit Big Sur, which is what we wanted, but the place is lovely. Although old fashioned, we found the room cozy, warm and comfortable. We liked our veranda as well. Moreover, the common living room with the libraries and the piano feel like home and... More

The rooms are tiny, very old fashioned and in need of updating, but the worst thing about it was the smell, the room we stayed in had obviously been frequented by very heavy smokers in the past and the smell from years of this clung to every surface it really was rank! However, the owners were very nice and helpful.... More

We stayed here in October 2012; during a California road trip. It was booked en-route and, although around 15 miles inland from the Pacific Coast: What a truly relaxing and enjoyable place. We intended to stay in the lodge for one night. The lodge itself is a large bungalow, with full facilities and an open wood-burning fireplace. Set in a... More
