Absolutely Beautiful!
I have stayed at all sorts of beautiful vacation rentals in amazing areas, and this is the only one that I have ever wanted to revisit. The cabin, charming, I loved the decor, rustic elegance is what comes to mind. So many fun details. The house was completely stocked with everything. The property manager was very responsive and accommodating. You couldn't ask for a better host. The location and property simply magical. I can't wait to go back.

Spring Break at the Lodge
Our family of two adults, two kids (10 & 8) and two dogs loved this magical home. The location was amazing, the house was clean and beautifully decorated with a vintage flair. Courtney was so kind and easy to communicate with. Having a spot right on the river was so fun. It was too cold to swim but that didn’t stop our girls and pups from enjoying it. The location is so close to downtown and easy to get to great hikes nearby. Courtney has information and places to go and places to eat at the home. The bunk beds are in a shed outside but so fun. We bunked with our kids in it one night and were pleasantly surprised at the fact that we were warm enough and slept well. There are walkie talkies to use also if needed for the bunk shed. Loved our stay and planning on coming back.

Cozy in Carmel Valley
The property was really sweet and cozy. When we were there, there was a huge hail storm but we were able to watch from inside with all the big windows and the fire on. The bunk room is a fun little touch, and the gals that slept in it said it was the best sleep of their life. It gets total darkness and really peaceful. The owner was really responsive and helpful during our stay. We had a few questions, and she was also proactive in reaching out to us to make sure we were all set. Our favorite part was the "fun hat" cabinet. :-)

We are grateful we found this location! Courtney was excellent with communication and suggestions of restaurants, hikes and points of interest in the area. The Lodge was better than presented. Our family of four (boys 12 & 16) all enjoyed the river, relaxing and sightseeing. We went to Big Sur, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey(including the Aquarium)…our favorite as a family was Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. My older son and husband enjoyed golfing at Spy Glass and Spanish Bay! Then we watched the Bagpiper at Spanish Bay later that night from Roy’s at Pebble Beach. Well worth every minute!

Beautiful and quiet riverfront property in a charming neighborhood. The kids played all day on the kayak and floating on inner tubes. The remodeled kitchen was perfect for making big communal meals, which we enjoyed on the terrace overlooking the Carmel River. The host, Courtney, did a beautiful job furnishing the house with curious antiques and knick-knacks. It was such a lovely and relaxing vacation.

Mountain Haven found!
Phenomenal stay! If you want to get away from it all this is your place! Don't miss out! Anytime you can bring the kids and throw them in the river, which is in your backyard, see deer while having coffee and be surrounded by bird calls it's a haven and a memory builder at the same time. This place is beautiful and Courtney is so welcoming and attentive. My family won't ever forget this stay.

It was a really nice getaway for 4 adults. The river was high so we could not kayak, but would love to come back. It was a little chilly, but we all still enjoyed the view with the fireplace. It was not far from Big Sur - that is what we were looking for. Host was great!

Magic time with the family
Me and my sister stayed at The Lodge with our parents for a change of scenery and to be together. We spent magical five days there. Thought it was middle of December, the trees did not loose their leaves, and taking the canoe down the river felt like paddling through the liquid gold. The Lodge has a The Spiderwick Chronicles vibe, and we have spotted few fairies :-) Kitchen was fun to cook in, especially as a big group of aspiring foodies. Last but not the least, our host Courtney was always a text away to make us feel welcomed, comfortable, and to meet all our needs. We look forward to coming back in the summer time.

Reactie van VrboOwner op 7 aug 2023
Alaine, I wish I knew you were having problems with the gas fireplaces. I have not had problems with the fireplaces. This is helpful to know that I need better details on lighting all three fireplaces throughout the house. Usually, the heat from the Master bedroom fireplace warms the bedroom and the master bathroom well. The heat from the guest bedroom fireplace heats the bathroom and the bedroom with no complaint. My goal is to have all three fireplaces light prior to guests arrival. The space heaters you used for the house are normally used in the bunkhouse. There is not a fireplace in the bunkhouse and space heaters are necessary in that space. I so wish we had the communication from the onset of your stay. I will contact you directly.

Cozy cottage on the river
This is a cozy little cottage on the Carmel river. The view of the river is spectacular and there are many beautiful birds who frequent the trees and riverbank. There are working fireplaces scattered throughout the different rooms, which made it feel especially cozy during our stay in late November. The outdoor fireplace is also a great place to hang out with your friends and family. The only difficulties with the property is the layout of the home where guests who are staying in the larger bedroom have to pass through the smaller bedroom in order to reach the living area and kitchen. They could technically go outside through the patio and then reenter the main space - but that is unlikely to happen during the colder months or at night. So this can be awkward if you are sharing the space with friends. The other thing is that the four bunk beds are located in a shed that is completely outdoors and separated from the main house. This might be okay for older children, but is not feasible for younger children who cannot access the locking mechanism or are too afraid to cross a dark patio near a river at night to use the bathroom. Overall - we had a great stay and enjoyed our time in the Carmel valley.

Amazing place, the backyard is unbeatable!
I was a little nervous with my 6yo falling into the river but the river is shallow and there is zero current. She ended up kayaking instead and wants to come back to this place every year! Kids absolutely loved the backyard, and bungalow with beds (we heated it with heater as the nights would get very cold). House had everything, from coffee, herbs, cooking supplies to laundry detergents, shampoos, etc. Highly recommend this place 👍

Wonderful cottage by the river.
The cottage sits on the river just as shown in the photos and is absolutely charming. It’s rustic and well appointed and makes for a wonderful stay. Kitchen is updated and well appointed with everything you need (aside from a dishwasher), lots of spices and olive oil. Next to the kitchen is coffee pantry which we all loved and is so practical in the morning. Courtney (our hostess) offers Kurig and French-press. Fresh roasted beans and lots of coffee capsules. The two bedrooms that are next to each other are cozy and comfortable. One has an en-suite bathroom, the main bedrooms bathroom is in the hallway right by it. Both bathrooms are updated, small but comfortable. If two couples are staying - you have to walk through the guest bedroom to get to the rest of the house, or you can walk outside and in. It all worked out fine. The third couple used the bunk bed shed, which is sufficient and comfortable, but more suitable for children. We were all in a “cottage mood” and could not have enjoyed the house more. Outside is on multiple levels with many seating and dining areas. Just lovely. The river is shallow this time of year, but we still had fun in the water. The location is quiet and just a few minutes from town. Courtney is a gracious hostess, responds in minutes, had treats for us when we arrived, is accessible and happy to make suggestions for any of our needs. It was a great 4 night stay and we all want to come back.

I was so happy with this home. We visited my daughter in LA and we were looking for a place near Big Sur. This was right in Carmel Village and close to everything we wanted to do. The owner left great recommendations particularly for our mountain dog who loved going in the water outside the door. We loved the decor, bedroom fireplace, and stocked kitchen. You can tell the owner puts the effort in. This is the absolute best place I have ever rented. We all loved it and it’s really unique and and a special place to stay.

Wonderful River views
We truly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful home on the Carmel River. This is a soul nourishing location. To wake up each morning to the beautiful view and sounds of nature was just a wonderful way to start the day. Living outside each day was the best part of our stay. Eating every meal at the table next to the river was relaxing and apart of the overall great experience. We did use the kayak that is at the property and brought our own water toys as well. The rustic lodge style home was well stocked and ready for us to enjoy. Courtney the owner was great to work with and was so quick to respond to any questions we had. Lodging/Glamping/enjoying the area wildlife are just some of the things that you will find here and cannot get at a hotel. We are looking forward to returning soon.

Wonderful cabin just minutes from Monterey and Carmel by the Sea
Such a beautiful property! It had the best parts camping (birds in the morning, crisp air, quiet nature/river nearby) without the dirt and the bugs. Even better than glamping because the accommodations are so wonderful and thoughtful. The basket of warm blankets by the back door, the abundance of board games and books in the living room, the well stocked pantry with all the necessary gadgets and finally a rental with sharp knives! They don’t even mention the washer and dryer on the listing, a huge help when traveling with kids. Not to mention how close it is the so many areas, a little over 1 hour to the Santa Cruz boardwalk, but super close to the beautiful Carmel by the Sea, lots of wine tasting and interesting eateries and hiking spots very close by, and the river! On the river! So lucky to have found this location. We would love to come again!

Wedding weekend
We were in town for a wedding at Holly Farms. The venue was about 15 minutes away from our place. It was a great place to meet up with friends and relax. We ate 3 meals in the backyard and all of us did the kayak. The owner was very quick to respond when we experienced a power outage and helped us quickly locate the flashlights and lanterns. Even the neighbors gave us info on the outage. We were worried there was no AC. You do not need AC. We were worried about bugs (we are from LA). Not one mosquito bite. There was bug spray at the house in case if you needed it. The house was stocked with plenty of blankets and the kitchen had everything you needed. We really enjoyed our stay!

My family had a very unique experience at the house that’s full of vintage and historic decor all around :)) loved it The two bedroom open into each other , so you would need to pass from the master bedroom to the second bedroom to go to the living room unless you use the patio door .

If you are looking to unplug and getaway from all the white noise, this is the spot, yet you are 5 minutes from the darling Carmel Valley Village with shops/restaurants & tasting rooms. We stayed for wedding event at the Bernardus and made more of a trip out of it, we practically lived in the backyard, there is even a canoe to take down the river, tons of hikes around even just around the sweet neighborhood. I can't say enough, Courtney thought of everything, we cooked & she had everything you could wish for to cook with and serve. Lots of animals, ducks, birds, deer & occasional dog in the river, so fun and relaxing, we just adored our time away! Oh and we loved having the fireplace every morning while we drank our coffee! Highly recommend this spot!

Nature Retreat in Carmel Valley
I booked this property for a group of wedding professionals working an event at Gardener Ranch (7 minute drive for anyone attending/working a wedding there in the future). We were a group of 7 and all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. On my first morning I sat up in bed to find a doe and her twin fawns grazing across the water from us. It was such a great spot to relax between work days. Courtney was communicative and a gracious host. She supplied great information about the area, there were heaters in all spaces (a must for the chilly evenings/mornings), and there were plenty of necessities for all. Our two notes for those staying here to ensure you have a great stay. There is no A/C. You do not need it, but do be aware that it might be stuffy when you arrive in the summer. We simply opened a few windows (which have screens) and it cooled down within a matter of minutes. Also, as expected, there are bugs in nature so this nature retreat (specifically the bunk house) came with some crawling friends. Our folks staying in the bunk house shooed some less than desirable bunkmates the first night and didn't worry about it from then on. (NOTE: There *are* blow-up mattresses and a futon in the house if bunks or bugs are "deal breakers" for you.) Overall a 10/10 stay and I'm saving this spot for future trips to Carmel Valley.

The host was very responsive and left lots of ideas of activities and restaurants. It is in a neighborhood packed with homes, but the property itself is truly private so once you’re inside you don’t notice/ hear anyone else.

Wow, what an incredible spot. It was the perfect getaway for my husband and me. It's such a beautiful spot right on the river, peaceful and private. It was great to have a spot where we could bring our dog along too who loved laying out in the sun on the back patio. It's in a beautiful little neighborhood, really conveniently located close to the town, and only 20-30 min from the coast to visit Carmel, Pacific Grove, and Monterey. Beautiful hikes nearby, cute wineries, and great restaurants. It's a super cozy spot and we just felt immediately relaxed when arrived. Super clean and a beautiful kitchen.

house on a river
We were 3 "girl" friends enjoy8ng the long weekend. Overall- we enjoyed the house- the view of the river, the kitchen and living room were very nice. The owners should give you a heads up once you decide to rent the property about turning the heat on. When we arrived , it was miserably cold and took about an hour or hour and a half to become comfortably- once we figured out how to warm it up, it was easier to keep it warm and much more comfortable . If warned, that would have been ok, but we were so cold initially, i was looking into alternative places to stay at first! In addition, the bedrooms have no shades, which means the light in the morning wakes you up very early the oustide furniture could use an upgrade. all of the above would be easy fixes. we were discussing whether we ever rent again and decided- it depends on what else is available.

Lovely
Our family of 4 came to l Lodge 31 with our friends, also family of 4. We were a little worried about accommodations based on recent reviews, but we had a great time in this well appointed cabin. The only thing potential renters should know is the master is chilly in cold months and you should probably be pretty chummy with others who will be staying in the other bedroom. We were fine either going out of the house to get to the other side of the house. One thing to note is our 8 and 12 year olds had fun staying in the shed. If they had been younger or larger in size, it would have been an issue having them stay in there by themselves/being comfortable. We had a great time!

Lovely property, house not ideal for more than 1 couple
Cons: As other recent reviews mentioned (unfortunately these reviews were provided after we booked), we felt mislead on a few details of the house: - Beds are advertised as 2 queens - the guest room is a full, which was too small for our guests (both taller people). It also squeaks super loudly, which negatively impacted our guests sleep throughout our stay (and made us feel guilty for taking the master). The mattress itself is comfy; seems like either the box spring or bed frame is to blame. -The master bedroom is only accessible by walking through the guest room - so in the morning, while our guests were sleeping, we had to exit outside to enter the kitchen/living room area. I'd imagine it's not a huge hassle when it's warm, but definitely not ideal when it's cold out, and we were disappointed that this wasn't clearly called out in the property description. -Overall, house was definitely more on the rustic side than I had expected, given the price point. The master guestroom is really poorly insulated, so unless using the small space heater provided, it's pretty chilly at nighttime/in the morning. -As other reviews mentioned, the master bathroom shower leaked. We had to mop it up with towels after every shower, and it felt like it never fully dried out in between use -Indoor dining table is a bit small (outdoor eating spaces are lovely, but it was a bit cold when we visited), and the room isn't set up well for TV (no couch; some of chairs face away). Not a big deal for us, as we didn't watch much TV. Pros: -Courtney was a very gracious, responsive host, and the property was easy to access -Beautiful backyard - pictures are completely accurate; it's a lovely spot to relax and unwind. -Kitchen and living room provide beautiful views of the backyard, and the kitchen was very well stocked and convenient for us to cook a couple meals at home. -Location is great - 2-3 min from Carmel Valley, a really cute town, and easy ~20 min drive to Carmel-by-the-Sea, Point Lobos for hikes, etc. We also did day trips to Pacific Grove/Monterey.
