Beautiful and peaceful cottage in Carmel

As many others have mentioned, Bill has thought of everything. The unit is incredibly quiet, peaceful, private, yet close to all that the Monterey Bay has to offer. I will be returning. Thank you for hosting!

Peaceful retreat!

Bill's place is wonderful. So many thoughtful details. All the comforts are covered. And the multiple outdoor spaces around the property are beautiful and serene. He's put so much care into the place and you can feel it. The location couldn't be better for exploring the 17 mile drive, Carmel and Monterey. Thanks so much Bill!

Perfect place to recharge

The perfect place for my wife and I to spend some quality time. The host takes a lot of pride in making his place somewhere you just want to stay when you arrive. We had a full agenda and ended up just hanging around the house more than anticipated. So nice!

Beachy Cottage

My husband and I greatly enjoyed a relaxing weekend at the Atherton Cottage. The house is lovingly equipped with everything to enjoy a peaceful getaway- very comfortable bed and linens, a full kitchen with many essentials for eating in, two gas fireplaces, making it very cozy. The outside garden spaces are charming! Despite intermittent rain, we greatly enjoyed nearby Point Lobos trails and charming Carmel and Monterey. Atherton Cottage was the perfect base for exploring and relaxing. Our host was very attentive and handled a minor issue immediately. We would definitely love to visit again!

Excellent property

We had an excellent stay at Bill’s house! He was very knowledgeable about places to eat, hiking, and the region. He is extremely attentive to all details and the house is well appointed with everything you need. There are many outdoor decks overlooking gorgeous landscaping. We ate in one night and used the very cool mini convection oven, and there is every utensil you could want. The bed is super comfortable and even adjustable. The location is close to Carmel by the Sea and you can walk or take a 5-minute drive into town. Spectacular hiking is just 10-15 minutes drive at Point Lobos, Soberanes Canyon or any of the beaches. We highly recommend!

Cozy House in Carmel

Bill's house is a lovely spot to relax for a few days. The location is quiet and nice, just across the street from the Carmel Mission. We took a lovely walk to Carmel River State Park, then onto Carmel and Carmel Beach. The sunsets from both decks were fantastic. The house is cozy with 2 fireplaces, we really enjoyed our weekend there.
