A delightful place to stay. I was so glad we stayed in Carmel Valley instead of along the coast. I chose the Carmel Valley Lodge because it was so close to a wedding venue. Nature! Peace! You will be among the local residents who were so kind and friendly . We slept so well, and the pillow was the BEST pillow I have ever slept on! An older, rather rustic lodge (minimal space in our room) that is beautifully decorated and staffed with warm and hospitable hosts. Complimentary continental breakfasts (healthy and tasty) and weekend hot meals (homemade) were delish! The staff was sincerely interested in making our stay as comfortable as possible. We will return! There are small shops within walking distance with art galleries, the Quail and Oil (olive oil) shop, a glass blowing which gave an interesting demonstration, a wonderful bookstore, and lots of places to eat and enjoy wine!
