a special place

This is a historically significant home with modern appliances, much space, a beautiful garden, and a short walk to the ocean. This is our second stay and, if in the future we plan to spend time in Carmel, we'll try for a third.

We stay every year

We love staying here. We can escape the heat back home, enjoy the walks to the beach, sit inside or outside for meals or walk into Carmel for a meal at a restaurant. The beds are comfy, the place has everything you'd need and we have no complaints. We'll be back next year.

Great vacation at historic Carmel property

We stayed for a month and wish we could have stayed longer. The property is just as described, a historic house with modern amenities. Both the property manager and the owner were proactive in reaching out to us during the storm and ensured we had everything we needed. Hope to stay here again soon.

Loved the cabin! Much better than expected–pictures did not due it justice. Location, just two blocks from the miles-long Carmel boardwalk overlooking the coastline. Can walk downtown and to Carmel and Carmel River beaches. Super easy parking.

Great location and lovely outdoor space

We loved the close proximity to the ocean and walked to the water a couple times each day. The garden on this property is also a standout. We enjoyed sitting on the sunny patio early in the day and having a glass of wine in the evening. The kitchen was well equipped to meet our meal prep and grilling needs. Lastly, we enjoyed great food, beautiful drives, golf, and hiking in the gorgeous Carmel area.

Wonderful Carmel Cottage

We have enjoyed Cottage of the River Winds during two stays and highly recommend it. It served well for four adults, a toddler, and a baby as the younger generations had their own space slightly separated from the old folks. The large garden around the cottage is beautifully kept, and there is an easy, short walk to the shoreline road. The chance to enjoy a Julia Morgan design makes the cottage extra special. Both the host and the caretaker are very responsive.

Serene & Cozy

Walking through the tranquil garden to the colorful entry set the theme for our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed this warm, relaxing cottage during our cool spring getaway. This well loved and preserved home had everything we needed....including beach chairs upon request. Situated in a quiet, charming neighborhood, we enjoyed our walks to the village, beach, and Mission Ranch. Finally, the owner, Krys, was prompt, wonderful and accommodating to our inquiries. We'll definitely return to Carmel, Big Sur...and this sweet cottage!

Perfect cottage

Lovely, well appointed, quiet family cottage within short walking distance to Carmel beach. The cottage has a beautiful, mature landscape/garden. Easy 5 minute drive to the Barnyard shopping center for groceries, dining, and almost anything else. Also , 5 minute drive to downtown Carmel for shopping, fine dining, et al). Mission ranch is just a few block away. We enjoyed a successful Monterey bay whale watching cruise and saw over 20 humpback whales and hundreds of dolphins. Visited point lobos, and cruised moss landings’ elkhorn slough. Wonderful escape to beautiful Carmel!

Relaxing Stay

Fabulous historic property designed by Julia Morgan. High beam heart redwood construction with polished wood floors - a classic. We followed the owner's desire to avoid a fire in the fireplace just to respectful. Krys was easy to communicate with and left us a personalized welcome letter to greet us. We couldn't get over the beauty of the gardens and the natural stone walkways and entry. We felt privileged to be able to stay in this home. Location was a short walk to both Carmel Beach and the River Beach. Best value in Carmel Point. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again!

WE loved this house!

A great mix of the old and the new. 100 year old redwood house with a few quirks you would expect e.g. no heat in the bathroom! And antique bureau drawers that can be tricky to open. But also upgrades to the current times: gas range, tiny little dishwasher and microwave in the sweet galley kitchen. Big washer & dryer. Beautiful garden outside with a lovely patio table perfect for sunny day lunches, of which we enjoyed several. You can watch the birds in the garden while you have your breakfast. Beautiful rugs. Very comfy. It was clean and very inviting and comfortable. If we come back to Carmel, we would definitely see if this lovely spot were available for another stay.

The home has a lot of history and the interior is so typical Carmel.
