Several blocks away from central Pacific Grove, but close enough to catch the vibe. Next door to the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary, quiet and serene environment.

This was a great place. I was only disappointed because it said cottage but is just 2 rooms with a bathroom shower and another small room with a sink small fridge and microwave not a full kitchen and is not as close to the beach as they made it seemed. Overall for the price of 650 for 2 nights in comparison to everything else it was a great place to comeback to rest.

It’s okay for an affordable place to sleep. Not really a good hang out spot though. The spa is small and the fire pit has uncomfortable benches around it. Our room had two queens and a kitchenette. We didn’t use the kitchen at all. The pan provided though looked like it was from 1970 with Teflon peeling and scratches all over it. If you expect to cook, bring your own pans. We found a cockroach on the bathroom floor, alive, after our first night. They provided daily towels but not clean linens at all for our three night stay. The room was tidyed up after the second night but not cleaned. The comfort of the bed was just okay. We were tired after hiking all day though, so anything would feel good. Instant coffee. The people in the unit below us smoked a lot and the smoke came in our room pretty bad. The windows do not lock at all. So that was weird. Anyway, overall it’s an okay place to stay. They chargesd us almost $900 for the three night stay so it was a lot for not that great.

This little place is quaint and quiet! The property owners contacted us before arrival and gave us the code for the room. The hot tub was nice but on the cooler side, the temperature needs a good 5 degree increase. The firepit area was cute and stayed on for as long as you want! I will definitely be booking here again!

Pretty typical lodging for Pacific Grove. I was expecting there to be a lot of noise but it was very quiet at night. No AC which you seldom need being so close to the coast. Having the in-room refrigerator was a blessing. Generally pretty clean but lime scale buildup on the shower head was kind of gross.

Annette, Michael and staff made me feel at home—they went the extra mile in any way I needed. I stayed for a week as its location was perfect for frequent walks to see the sunset at Asilomar coast. I plan to return on my next visit to see my family who live in Pacific Grove.
