Carmel River Inn & Cottages

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed two nights here on one of the cottages. We were very satisfied with location and also how friendly the place is for dogs. Was easy to go on an early little walk or during the evening. The plants and flowers also make the stay more pleasant. Look forward to returning."
