Spent 2 nights here celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and it was absolutely WOW. We arrived to find a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries in our huge, comfortable suite where we enjoyed room service on our first evening. Everything about the place was fantastic, suite with amazing views, amenities, staff etc and I only wished we could have... More

We stayed here for 2 nights during our mini-moon after our wedding and couldn't imagine a better place to unwind and relax. The place feels sorta like a super fancy summer camp. The main lodge houses the restaurant, a beautiful adult only pool, outdoor fire pits, the spa, gift shop, library, and a mini gym. There's also a separate area... More

We've been going to the Carmel Valley Ranch every year, courtesy of my wife's employer. We aren't golfers but the course looks challenging as well as being gorgeous...very well kept, million dollar views and the weather is always lovely. We go as part of a managers weekend event. My wife is a manager...I get to be the 'trophy husband'. As... More

We arrived in the middle of Memorial Weekend and thought that the large amount of children would be a problem. How wrong we were! The children were able to enjoy the amenities in a separate sports area. We were able to sunbathe around a lovely pool next to the main building. There were lovely woodburning fires in the hotel as... More

I have stayed here twice on business, I say 'business' because I find myself having to create reasons to go back to Carmel Valley in order to persuade my employer to justify a return. I tell them its a bunch of cabins in the forest, and they believe me. This place is just great, simple as that. From the fire... More

Fabulous hiking from room, and we appreciated the delightful, accommodating staff. Our dinner was a rating of 4 out of 5. We really loved the outdoor fire pits with complimentary some mores. We will return!

We vacationed in San Francisco from Louisiana. After a few days, we had done everything on our checklist but weren't ready to go to Yosemite. We found this place on trip advisor and decided that we would go for two nights. It was amazing! Relaxing, beautiful, remote, great service! Our 3 children, ages 12,10 and 6 thought that it was...

We stayed at Carmel Valley Ranch during our coastal California drive for two nights. The property itself is gorgeous with plenty of ammenities such as golf, hiking, bee experience, tennis courts, swimming pool and spa. It is quite remote but as the towns in the Carmel area (Monterey, Carmel, Pacific Grove) are in relatively close proximity it is quite easy... More

This was our second visit to CVR and this time we brought 6 other family members to enjoy the beauty, service, rooms, food and ambience of this fantastic property. Thoroughly enjoyed all the comforts of the rooms, the walking paths and the deer and turkey that roamed the property. This was the last leg of our golfing trip and the... More
