The best place I have stayed!!!! Theresa & dean were the best!!! Would go back again and again!!!

Theresa is so friendly! She welcomed us at the gate and invited us for beers. We really had a great time there, sharing our stories. Their dog is cute and polite. The rooms are lovely too. We feel lucky to have met her!

Beautiful, clean home with wonderful amenities, great dog, near good food. Friendly hosts.

Hosts are very friendly. Clean, comfortable, great place to stay.

It's gated and in a safe community.

Theresa and Dean are the perfect hosts. There place is lovely and very close to the pinnacles park. It was an enjoyable stay.

Wow doesnt even come close to describe my experience with theresa and Dean and their beautiful home. Talk about 4 star luxury, and they are both very kind and sweet. I highly reccomend their place anytime you are traveling down their way it is a must experience, and i will be down there again since i come from washington.

The house and the rooms were very clean and beautiful. Great hospitality.

Charles was very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and private, the dog was lovely. We will definitely stay there again when in the neighbourhood.

The guest space is really great. You have two rooms, each with a bed, and your own bathroom. The guest space is separable from the rest of the house by a door. Charles is very friendly, replied immediately to my texts and was really helpful. Thanks for everything!

I chose this place for the reviews and I'm very happy I did. Charles was an exceptional host and by far the best airbnb I've stayed at. Good communication, the rooms were comfortable and his dog Beta is a sweetheart. If you need a place to stay while driving along the coast of California I highly recommend this place.

I will definitely be back. Charles is a great host. Enjoyed his sweet dog, Beta. Beautiful back yard with pool -- I didn't plan appropriately. Next trip I will bring a suit and enjoy the backyard. My selection was based solely on his reviews. I'm glad I did.

Great location and great stay. Wish we would have stayed longer but perfect all the way around. Will stay again when back in area.

Enjoyed my stay with Charles. Thanks for hosting.

Charles was a great host with just the right amount of communication. Check in and out were a breeze, location was convenient to everything, and the separate bathroom/bedroom area is great for seclusion while sharing the home. We drive through the central valley often and may find ourselves staying again!

Nice bed, easy to find, great access to Pinnacles National Park!

Clean, comfortable place to stay the night in King City. Thanks very much!

We had a great time staying at Primitivo's. Would recommend - thanks!

Convenient location and access; host is friendly, honest, and polite; has everything you would need for overnight stay.

So glad Primitivo was able to accommodate very last minute. We were on a road trip from San Diego and needed a place to rest for the night and when I saw that Primitivo had an availability that night, he was quick to respond! He even had an air mattress already set up once we got there.

The place was good for our stop during our trip. The host kindly provided essentials. The house was very clean.

Very easy to communicate with. We had a late arrival and he was able to accommodate all ours needs. Highly recommend.

Place was exactly like the pictures. Very clean. Arrived later in the day, maybe 9:30pm. Check in was easy, was provided clear instructions. I would stay here again!

The room and private bathroom were clean. My host was flexible with my arrival time.I enjoyed my stay and booked another night.

David's place was a beautiful, clean and comfortable place to stay near Pinnacles National Park. The home was very roomy, had plenty of towels, and was the perfect location for the wedding we attended at the Bar SZ Ranch down the road. Would definitely recommend to others as a a great place to stay!

Place was beautiful. Close to SF but feels remote. And Pinnacles is amazing.

Easy stay, no issues. Perfect location if attending a wedding at Bar SZ.

I got married at Bar SZ Ranch, just down the road from David's house. I rented David's house as extra housing for the wedding. My mother in law stayed there and absolutely loved it. She said it was extremely comfortable and clean. The view of the surrounding area is also amazing. When we visited the house, it was even nicer than expected. David was very easy to communicate with and helped us add a day to our trip on very short notice. I highly recommend this place!

This house is clean, comfortable, and relaxing. The living area/kitchen is all open and great for hanging out and enjoying time together. We felt very relaxed in this home, and it was a great location to stay close to the Bar SZ ranch, where we attended a wedding. David was a great communicator, and set up the check in process for us when we had questions. He was flexible in helping my friend check in, as she was getting there first. If I make another trip out to the Pinnacles, I would definitely stay here again!

Very remote and quiet place. It was amazing to watch stars at night and listen to silence. Beds were super comfy and everything we needed was right in the house.

Great hide away for the pinnacles area

Nice ample house with good stock of things needed for a stay far from city amenities. A very comfortable place to stay.

We rented this house as housing for family during our wedding at Bar SZ Ranch. Our family absolutely loved the house and found it very comfortable. Communication with Rebekah was smooth and easy. She was very helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend this house, especially for events being held at Bar SZ Ranch.

This place is good. A little more attention to details will make it great in the future. The location from Pinnacles National Park cannot be beat (~10 minute drive) and the surroundings of the house are just gorgeous. We came in the spring and the flower beds around the house were beautiful. The bathrooms are clean and recently refinished and there is a nice Foozball table in the back! Beds are OK, but a bit creaky. Given that the alternative is driving a long time to the nearest hotel to Pinnacles or camping, this house was nice. Hostess was very accommodating. We would return if we were headed to Pinnacles again.

Our extended family stayed here during our wedding at the Bar SZ Ranch. It was perfectly located and everything was wonderful!

Good place to stay for easy access to the Pinnacles East Entrance! Pros: Setting is beautifully bucolic. Well-stocked kitchen. Wifi. Tv/blue ray player. Foosball table. Good charcoal grill and smoker. Nicely refurbished bathrooms. No three-day requirement on holiday weekend - yay. Cons: Very buggy. Lots of live bugs (beetles, ear wigs, silver fish, spiders) - and dead ones too. Definitely lived in if that bothers you (clothes in process of being washed, lots of personal items, food in freezer, etc.) - but didn't bother me!

This place saved me from potential Christmas dinner disaster from lack of bringing kitchen tools--the kitchen is SO well stocked! There are 2 convection ovens, a 4 burner electric stove top, a 6 burner gas stove top, tons of dishes/silverware/bakeware, a mini food processor, a hand mixer, a cast iron skillet, spices, a coffeemaker, a dishwasher...pretty much everything you need to cook a feast! The only things I needed that I couldn't find were a carving fork/knife (perhaps I overlooked it) and a grater that wasn't discolored (perhaps it could still have been used). We smoked a 9 bird turduckenstein on the grill + smoker (which has a temperature gauge) for 5 hours and then finished it in the large convection oven. There were enough stove tops and oven space to make most of the sides simultaneously. Amazed! When we arrived, the address led us to the property across the actual Airbnb unit. We sent someone up to the house and it turned out to be the owner's house who were welcoming and directed us the right way. The Airbnb unit is a light blue house; you can drive up to the fence and walk 10 feet to the door. If you get to a place where you need to open a big gate and go up a big hill to get to the house which may have a truck parked in front, that's the owner's house so just go across the street to find the actual unit. When we got in, the fireplace was already warm. There was plenty of firewood (but couldn't find an axe to cut big pieces smaller). The outdoor fire pit was great. The scenery was amazing. There were horses across the street that we fed some carrots to. It was stocked with more toiletries and towels than I would have expected. Close to Pinnacles if you want to hike or rock climb. We were all inspired to have a property like this one someday! The people who manage the unit are not the owners, but you will find the phone number of Tim the manager near the wifi router (try them all, the 408 worked when the 831 didn't). No cell reception so if you want to make a phone call, use the landline or an internet based calling service. Closest gas I found was about 20 miles away. Some things that I think could be potential negatives for some: 1) at one point there was a cow on a nearby hill that kept mooing, 2) the freezer was pretty full so there wasn't much space if you bring a lot of your own freezer food (we managed to fit all of our freezer goods in with the space available), 3) the space heater in the master didn't seem able to make the room super toasty, 4) most outlets in the bedrooms are 2 prong and don't accommodate 3 prong plugs. Otherwise, this place is perfect! We all wished we could have stayed longer.

This place is perfect for relaxing, cold down and rest. It's a few miles from Pinnacles National Park, so you can enjoy the day on the NP and have a good BBQ at night. The owners live nearby and they are super friendly and kind.

Wow! What an amazing place to stay. Tim & Michelle were both friendly and offered us so many choices to do things on the ranch--and were perfectly happy to let us sit back and relax with our family. The 10 of us stayed comfortably, without too many bathroom negotiations--despite having 2 teenaged girls with us. :) We ate meals on the front porch and watched the horses. Tim made us a fire on the back porch in the evening. Several of us did a few hikes at Pinnacles, which was amazingly nearby. There is not a better place to stay with a large group this close to the park unless you're in tents at the campground. I just wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a great stay at Tim and Michelle's place. It's conveniently located close by the entrance of Pinnacles. Tim took good care of us, showing us a hike close to the house and getting us anything needed. I'd recommend this as a great place for a group to be on a ranch as a getaway.

Tim and Michelle were the most incredible hosts. They hosted a party of 18 for our wedding, and it was an amazing experience. You don't meet many people as nice and accommodating as these two. To say they went above and beyond doing everything they could to make our day special would be an understatement. We were given catering suggestions, taken around the property to pick a site for the ceremony, taken out to ride horses, shoot shotguns, the works. The "interns" helped set up seating for the ceremony and dinner. Everyone pitched in getting dinner set up, cleaned up, and reset for desert! The property is gorgeous and both houses are very unique and comfortable. We stayed in the Art Studio which was awesome. Family stayed in the ranch house, which had a quieter more relaxed feel. The entire place was quiet and peaceful, and we saw more stars than any of us had ever seen in our lives. We couldn't have pulled it all off without Tim and Michelle, and we will always be grateful for everything they did to help us. We had a fantastic time, and will never forget this wonderful day!

I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at Bar SZ Ranch and I cannot speak highly enough of my experience. Tim and Michelle are some of the friendliest, and most attentive hosts I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. Between making sure we had all the amenities we needed, to setting up our nightly campfires, to leading us on a beautiful sunset horseback ride, my friends and I had a truly memorable experience. This listing would be perfect for a large group of friends or a family trip; the space allowed our group of 8 to sleep, eat, shower, etc. very comfortably. I would happily recommend this ranch experience to anyone, and I personally look forward to visiting Tim and Michelle again.

We were a group of 10 people who spent about 3 days in the Bar SZ Ranch. The hosts Tim and Michelle were awesome and made our stay in ranch memorable. They were really nice and helpful throughout the entire stay. The house looked exactly as advertised in the pictures and was clean when we checked-in. Lots of activities in and around the ranch like horse riding, skeet shooting and hiking in the pinnacles will keep you busy in the day. Personally, I enjoyed the 90 minutes horse riding, feeding horses and skeet shooting a lot. Bar SZ ranch is hands down one of the best destination that I discovered through airbnb. I totally recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience the country lifestyle.

This was our second visit to the Ranch House, I really did not think it could have got any better - but it did! Words do not do it justice, it is a such a stunning place to stay. Our kids were outside from morning till night, riding horses, building forts, feeding goats, chickens, pigs, rabbits, ducks & helping with chores. They were in heaven. Tim, Michelle & the their whole family made us feel so welcome again, they are wonderful hosts. It was an unforgettable experience, we are already looking forward to our third visit!

What an amazing weekend. Tempted to lie and say it's terrible so we can keep it for ourselves. But, really, I recommend Tim & Michelle's ranch and this house without reservation. Just perfect. Some highlights: - Tim & Michelle's daughters took instantly to our little girls, showing them around, helping them feed animals, giving them rides on an ATV (very slowly and under supervision of course). - Pony rides for the girls - Skeet shooting and horse back riding for the adults - Wonderful, specious house slept our group of 11 adults, 2 little kids without a problem (we brought an air bed and paid for extra person). - Massive Thomas train set dropped off for our girls to enjoy - Beautiful hike at Pinnacles - Baby horses, baby cow, tarantula siting out on road, wild boar sighting - Everyone extremely inviting and super friendly

This was a fabulous weekend. The accommodations actually exceeded our expectations. The Ranch house was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The surrounding countryside was breathtaking and the activities provided were really great

This place is a great escape from your daily routine. Located within a peaceful winery, the house has real character, it's spacious, clean, and private. Rebecca is a great host, nice and trustworthy person.

Best airbnb location yet!

Wish we could have spent more time here. The views of the countryside and mountains are amazing and the home was perfect for our traveling party.

Nice, comfortable quite place with a cool view of the valley. Very easy to locate, clean and welcoming.

Rebecca is a great host, she was flexible with our early check-in and she invited us to a nice wine tasting session! The house is super nice and fully furnished. Highly recommended!

Beautiful setting. Clean house. Nice patio area. Minimal fuss with check in and check out

The place was lovely. The wine was amazing. The scenery stunning. What more can you ask for? We loved it.

Rebecca's place is a beautiful house in the middle of Salina's vineyards. The place was spotlessly clean, very spacious and the kitchen perfectly equipped for a big homemade Thanksgiving dinner. We had a fantastic time and would stay with Rebecca any time again.

Cutest cottage and Shelly the manager was friendly, helpful and amazing!

The well house was a lovely and relaxing stay. The animals were plentiful to watch and the sunset from the top of the meadow is extremely scenic. If you stay here, definitely take the time to use the outdoor shower!

This little cabin in Caramel Valley is amazing. It sits on a beautiful property where you can hike around and take in the view. The cabin itself is wonderfully cozy and utterly charming. The outdoor bathroom may take some getting used to but if you've traveled a bunch, it shouldn't be a problem as it's definitely part of the cabin's charm. Kelley was a great host and very communicative. I had no problems at all getting to the place thanks to her specific directions. Highly recommend staying here if you're ever in the area.

Hidden gem, great place for a weekend getaway

This little well house has everything you need and more. The views from the top of the meadow are beautiful especially at sunset. My favorite part of this little house has to be the outdoor shower- something so liberating about being naked outdoors. :)

Great for couples or if you're like me and would like to have your pet roam and run as much as they want in the outdoors! Very peaceful and quiet, its like having a mountain to yourselves. Bring food and snacks and books and wine and your guitar or ukulele. Bug lotion will come in handy too, just for that brief moment at sundown when the mosquitoes come. One of the best escapes you'll experience.

This is an awesome spot in a beautiful part of Carmel Valley. The place is clean and comfortable! Cannot recommend highly enough.

The seclusion and quiet of this little haven is a true gift. Beautiful location, friendly host with great communication and AMAZING outdoor shower. Sunset was unbelievable. Perfectly rustic.

This cabin is truly a gem! Thoughtful details, friendly and responsive hosts, beautiful location - it's a great place to unplug and get away. Highly recommended! We will definitely be back :)

I don't think I have ever seen the Galaxy so clearly before! The airstream was clean and we slept in the 2 smaller beds and they were fine. The ride there and back was worth the extra miles because of the beauty. Jeffery was easy to communicate with and had everything we needed available.

The stars alone at night made our night here absolutely perfect. The airstream is so secluded that it was serene and peaceful both at night and in the morning. It far exceeded our expectations and we are already planning out next trip to stay here. Highly recommend!

It was absolutely wonderful!!! Just a great place and the best way to celebrate our honeymoon!! The Airstream has everything and it was much better thab any hotel we stayed in! You should take in account that getting there could be a little tough, phone reception could be lacking and we don't recommend arriving at night like we did (though Jeffery was so helpful and came to pick us up when we got lost). Another thing worth mentioning is that you better to arrive in a vehicle that could go a little off-road. It's only a dirt road but could be a bit problematic for sedan or small rental car. Have fun!

Located upon incredible golden hills that has a stunning sunset to be enjoyed with a complimentary bottle of wine. Driving up the driveway of the property is a little precarious so you might need a vehicle that can handle rugged dirt roads - it's not too bad but is definitely something to be mindful of. In addition, the air conditioning inside the airstream isn't the best; however, the seating area outside is so nicely set up that it was nice to just sit outside and enjoy the scenery which included guest appearances of squirrels and wild turkeys.

We loved the Airstream, the location and the view. Very private and the Airstream had everything we needed. We would stay here again.

After a long day hiking in the Pinnacles, a relaxing evening at the Airstream was just what my husband and I needed! Quiet, comfortable and beautiful views. The host Jeffery was lovely and ready to help with anything we needed. Definitely recommend!

I loved every part of my stay and would recommend it to anyone. If you can't live without your phone for a night this may not be the place for you but the serenity and quiet is well worth it. The view of the mountains is spectacular and so are the stars at night. Jeff and his wife provided many amenities including a bottle of wine which was a great touch!

Great view. Nice chance to enjoy the valley. Had good coffee and big spray. All good. Thanks Jeffery.

From the moment we turned into the long private driveway to this beautiful ranch, we were happy to be there. Barlocks is a true respite for travelers and we loved the privacy and peace that comes with a 16-acre horse ranch. We were greeted by a friendly dog, and we in turn said hello to the horses both days of our stay. The house was very clean, with comfy beds and linens, a sumptuous bathroom with a large jacuzzi tub that looks out onto oak trees and pasture. The kitchen was well-stocked, and there was ice in the freezer - which was nice because this place is a little way from town. Margaret generously loaned us two guest passes for the Monterey Aquarium. Guest are free to roam the property and use the lovely pool. We would love to return someday with our children and grandchildren. Highly recommended!

The ranch was an amazing experience An just what we were looking for when it comes to privacy, peace an quite! The stay was perfect in every way and would recommend for couples or family who want to be a little bit away from it all but about 10 minutes to all the main attractions

Margaret's property is beautiful and well maintained. The cottage was perfect. The bathroom was large with a jacuzzi tub. The beds were comfortable. Margaret couldn't be any nicer. She offered to give my toddler a pony ride and really made us feel welcomed. She has the most beautiful, friendly dog. My toddler loved the chicken coop, the dog and all the swings. What a perfect weekend getaway.

We loved our stay in Margaret's cottage. Lovely quiet cottage on a ranch and an amazing huge bathroom with jacuzzi! She even very generously let us use the Aquarium guest passes. Thank you Margaret!

The cottage is updated, clean and spacious. Everything you could ask for. The grounds are beautiful with views all around. Nice location for whatever activities you have planned in the area.

A beautiful cottage on the owners ranch in a lovely quiet, secluded spot. Great to getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city but within an hours drive of Monterrey with Carmel and Big Sur a little further. If you're lucky the ever so generous Margaret will be around and may be kind enough to loan you free guest entry to the Aquarium as she did for us. So generous, thoughtful and was definitely worth the trip!

A lovely secluded hideaway. A half t away from Monterey and Carmel but doable.

This was our second stay at The Cottage. We love the peaceful surroundings and the rural location that is still close to amenities and Monterey. We will be back for a third visit!

Karen has a very beautiful home. The views are even better and more amazing than the pictures can show. It's the perfect place to get away and just relax with family or friends. Everything was prepared for us, great instructions, firewood etc. When we arrived, a bottle of Karen's own wine, from the grapes on the property, was waiting for us. It was delicious. Thank you Karen.

I booked Karen's place for a group of Airbnb employees to go on a retreat, they had an absolutely amazing time - the place was gorgeous, Karen was a wonderful host and they were greeted by a fire in the fire place. Karen was very easy for me to communicate with throughout the process. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic time at Karen's house at Carmel Valley. It is a house with all the facilities in the middle of vineyards and nature of Carmel Valley region. The only downside was that we didn't stay enough time to fully enjoy it. It is a place that worths staying for a longer period to enjoy the nature and the surroundings. Carmel at the Sea is a 50 minute drive and Carmel Valley town 20 minute. The pool was cold for the winter climate but the jacuzzi was very nice. I recommend it for those who want to spend some time out in the nature but with all the facilities.

The photos don't do justice, in particular, to how amazing the exterior of the house is. There are more seating areas and nooks around the property than I've ever seen at a house. It was amazing. We brought 8 people here for a retreat. The house itself is very comfortable (3 bedrooms, a large 4th room downstairs you can turn into a bedroom for multiple people, and a large common area and kitchen). The property is spectacular, and the surrounding area is awesome. Moreover, Karen and her employees were extremely responsive and welcoming. It was a great stay and I'd highly recommend - if you're reading this and considering a visit - that you go!

Staying at Karen's retreat was an absolutely phenomenal experience– one of the best and most relaxing homes I've been to. It has everything you want, including a grill, pool, and hot tub, lots of space to lounge indoors and outdoors, tv and internet, and even a bocce court! We took some time to explore nearby Carmel Valley, but most of all, we enjoyed the quiet, secluded, and natural setting. Karen was really helpful about our arrival time and meeting us for keys in town since we were getting there late in the day. We'd be happy to come back– thanks for the amazing time!

What an amazing home and property! We loved every minute and didn't want to leave at the end of the weekend. Pool, Hot Tub, Bocce Ball, Rocking Chairs, Hiking through vineyards - so much to do and from the warm comfort of Karen's beautiful home. Also wonderful that Karen put out lovely seasonal decorations that made us feel right at home. Thank you!

The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Incredibly beautiful property, truly a wonderful "retreat". Super comfy soft beds, and everything you'll need. Bring groceries and loved ones, and have a great vacation to remember. Be aware there's no cell service and we also had some internet problems, so be prepared to be "unreachable" for a few days. That's actually a good thing!

This beautiful place was perfect for us and the host was extremely responsive and helpful.

Jeremy was incredibly responsive and helpful. The house was perfect for our weekend getaway. This is a great spot!

Great place for a short family break! Well appointed, great house, and gorgeous views of the Carmel Valley!

Thank you so much for the wonderful place to stay. The house exceeded everyone's expectations. The grandparents thought there was a bit too many stairs for them but other than that I can't think of a single negative thing. I would encourage anyone looking to enjoy a wonderful getaway weekend near some of the original vineyards and wineries (Joullian, Heller, Bernardus, Galante) in Carmel Valley this is one of the best places to stay. Highly recommended this place to anyone looking for a luxury home great for families for a decent price. Thanks again Jeremy!!!

Surrounded by greats views everywhere you turn and the home is awesome. We loved its beauty and especially, peacefulness. Spacious! The sauna house is the icing on the cake; we got to stretch out and massage the pain away from hours of hiking.

It's a bit of a drive, but after a long day in town the quiet and seclusion is much needed to calm down after a long day. The sunsets are magical in the San Lucia's. In addition, downtown Carmel Valley is quaint and friendly!

It was such a divine retreat to unwind in the zen-filled property & home, that is Rainbow Ranch. This consciously arranged & spiritually infused space, set the uplifting tone for a rejuvenating weekend away from the hustle & bustle below. It was refreshing to unplug and "turn on, tune in & drop out". One could sit & simply gaze into the surrounding enchanting hillside forests, soaring eagles, & shining constellations for hours.... The homeowners, Jeremy & Rainbow, were thorough, mindful & warm in their approach to hosting. Although we did not meet them in person, their assurance of guest/tenant comfort was evident & well received. It was especially delightful to find a bottle of wine, left for us to enjoy. Very kind :) My better half & our fur sons couldn't have felt more at home in such a celestial sanctuary. Thank you so much for having us @ Rainbow Ranch!!! This was an experience that'll resonate with us, indefinitely.

Amazing location. Scenic, peaceful and such a great place for family bonding. The kids will love it!!

I cannot rave enough about Sal and Kathy and their beautiful cottage and vineyard. It was a complete dream to arrive to this sanctuary after a long day of driving and exploring Northern California. The cottage/vineyard is a little off the beaten path (incredibly scenic drive) and the directions that Kathy gave us were on point! I would recommend arriving prior to sunset if able, the views are stunning. The cottage is a beautiful, cozy, second story cottage on top of a private hill in the middle of Carmel Valley. From your perch you overlook the vineyard and valley. You can tell that Kathy and Sal truly put their heart and soul into this place. The attention to detail was incredible. Whether it was the matching robes/slippers or the collection of paperback books to read we instantly were relaxed. The hosts were incredibly attentive, but gave us space and the vineyard really felt like our private get-away. I cannot rave enough about our experience. We will definitely be back. Make sure you take advantage of watching the sunset over the valley while sitting on your private balcony sipping delicious Rombi Merlot!

The house and property was everything that we had hoped for. We had everything that we needed with us for the long weekend and made a point of not leaving the property except for a nature walk. We spent most of our time lounging by the pool and preparing food for dining outside with the gorgeous views. The guest house has all of the supplies that you could need and Kathy and Sal made sure that we had a few little things available to us that we'd asked about for cooking. I'm still trying to hold onto that feeling of floating in the pool without a worry in the world. Definitely hope to come back again soon.

Kathy's and Salvatore's place is just beyond all expectations, to see it in photo is one thing but to live it is another experience. One of the best cabernet sauvignon we ever tried. Everything made our stay special, the pool, the house, the vineyards, the eagles flying above the domaine.. and on top of it the absolute lovelyness of the two hosts.

Sal and Kathy's place exceeded our expectations. We needed to destress and slow down, and the spectacular view of the mountainside combined with the romance of the vineyards was perfect. After an invigorating walk to the top of the mountain, we enjoyed an afternoon at the poolside and a chilled bottle of wine while enjoying a fantastic view. The best plan is to stop by the market in Carmel Valley Village before heading to the vineyard for your stay. Once you're there, you won't want to leave! Thanks to Sal and Kathy for being gracious, welcoming hosts.

What a perfect weekend getaway! The house is wonderful and cozy and has everything you could need. Kathy and Salvatore are the perfect hosts. Thank you so much!

I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience at the vineyard cottage - our stay was even better than I expected. It is quiet and remote with beautiful views, which is exactly what we are looking for. It is definitely off the beaten path and a solid drive back to town - a great escape. The cottage was neat and clean, with some of the softest towels I have ever found! The pool is a dream - hot and sunny until even late in the day. Perfect for lounging around and relaxing. Kathy and Sal were amazing hosts - they provided us with detailed directions, were there to answer every question and absolutely made us feel welcome. That being said, we were given absolute privacy once we got in and settled. Will definitely go back for another visit.

This place is amazing. There's no need to ever leave. (Which is good as it's a hike to get to.) Kathy and Sal could not have been more welcoming. Amazing views and wine.!

Kathy and Sal made us feel so welcome. Kathy met us as we pulled up and promptly gave us a tour of the property and all the information we needed to enjoy ourselves. We loved every moment of being there and left with a level of relaxation that we do not often have the opportunity to achieve. Seriously, we forgot all about our four teenage kids for a few days......This place is special! There's a deck off the back overlooking the mountains and vineyards. We cooked at least one meal every day and enjoyed the view while we ate. The place is a little bit of a drive (around 30 minutes) from Carmel Valley Village, but we loved that feeling of being away from it all! We actually loved it so much we did some exploring for available property around there!

A wonderfully quiet retreat with fabulous view and lovely hosts. All other reviews were completely confirmed!

Darrent and Monte are a wounderful couple and were perfect hosts. Their place is outstanding, their service, dinner and the breakfest were perfect and delicius. Our room was beautiful. We felt special at any time. Thank you so much for being great hosts and let us be your guests.

Darren and Monte were extremely communicative and welcoming. We ended up not being able to stay the night due to car trouble along the way, but Darren and Monte stayed up late waiting for us in case we were able to make it.

Wonderful place! Very organized and above what I expected. Too bad that I couldn't try the food, it's poor planning from my part. You will enjoy the stay, guaranteed!

Darren and Monte's home was absolutely stunning and certainly lived up to the pictures and description on airbnb. The views from the porch have to be seen to be believed! We were made to feel very welcome, Darren and Monte couldn't have done more for us. We had the whole upstairs of the house to ourselves, which was beautifully furnished. We tried the menu during one of our nights, something that you absolutely must do if you're staying! delicious! Thanks guys :)

My girlfriend and I spent one night at Darren & Monte's house. We enjoyed their lovely home, hospitality and home cooked dinner. The drive to their home is scenic and peaceful.

Our experience was perfect. First, Monte and Darren are clear and precise about what they offer and how to arrive. Secondly, they love being hosts and it shows in all the details they put in to make their place a true bed and breakfast. Too quality furnishings. Location is serene and scenic, surrounded by nature. We sat under the stars by outdoor firelight and we were served a fresh continental breakfast. On top of the breakfast, we had the option of having a three course meal served and have added it to our "definitely coming back" to do list. Gracious hosts is an understatement. These two make service what it can be: an art. That's it! Monte and Darren are hospitality artists.

A great get away from the city! Gorgeous views and plenty of activities to do (hiking, wine tasting, shopping,etc). They have a beautiful and neat home! Darren and Monte were nice and made sure we had everything we needed. Their expertise in the area also provided us with plenty of activities to do. The welcome glass of wine was perfect to a long day of driving!

We had a wonderful couple of days at Dakota Ranch. Rod was a great host - full of tips on things to do in the area. The ranch itself is beautiful, and in a good location - less than an hour to Carmel and the surrounding areas.

Rod is very nice and considerate! The house has a wonderful view and we really enjoyed our stay!

Wish I could give Rod's place more than 5 stars! It was truly stupendous.

A hidden gem! This was the most amazing house to stay at. Very private area of the house with breath taking views. Rod was a wonderful host, communicating very well with us and offered us anything we needed. Would definitely stay here again and recommend highly to others!

Rod's place is awesome. We had a super relaxing time and he made us feel very welcome. Saw beautiful deer and birds on the property. We'd love to come back!

Rod's place is gorgeous! The property is just awesome and his house stunningly lovely! He is the perfect host: prepared everything including a personalized welcome message. He showed us around although it was already 8 pm. And he had a fridge prepared with everything you could wish for a night with friends - including his own wine! I will definitely try to come back and spend a couple more days than this time.

In an incredible isolated location with breath taking views. Rod was a great hos and very welcoming. Had a couple of really relaxing days there. Personal favourite of mine was the outdoor archery area.

Rod's welcome felt like we were visiting family! He made sure everything was perfect when we reached. Despite we bring over 3 hours late (reached the property at 9 PM) and he needing to wake up really early the next day, he took the time to welcome us and gave us a tour of his lovely property over-looking the mountains in the middle of nothing but crisp fresh air. I highly recommend booking this place - take the de-tour and spend time in true nature!
