Carmel Valley Ranch

Beautiful property with many amenities good for single, couples and family. The staffs are all very friendly. Love the dog friendliness. would recommend anyone to go.

Awesome location and property. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating to our needs/requests! We only wish we had more time to check out more of the activities. We will definitely come back!

The Ranch is a wonderfully relaxing, quiet resort for a getaway that doesn't feel like a tourist destination. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, and and spotless, without feeling opulent. We had a north facing room looking over the golf course and hills, which was a wonderful view and avoided the blazing early morning or late afternoon sun. The resort is large; getting around to the lodge and the various venues requires some planning. Fortunately the shuttle is readily available. Groups and families as well as pets seemed welcome and at home. There are lots of optional activities at the corral, beehives, etc, if desired. Wild turkeys, deer, and other wildlife is abundant. Food at the Valley Kitchen was great; Chef Ty and his team made us feel welcome and like judges on a cooking TV show. Servings were a good size but modest enough that we could try multiple dishes without feeling overfed. Attentive and personable service, comfortable for families, kids and groups there. Everything we tried was excellent. We hadn't planned on eating at the restaurant the entire stay, but we did - there seemed to be little reason to go off-Ranch for a meal. Carmel by the Sea, Pebble Beach, Monterey Bay are accessible if more vacation activity is desired.

We just stayed at CVR with two young boys (1 and 4) and had a great time. We will’s definitely go back. Service was attentive, friendly and genuine. The property is gorgeous and the room was large, thoughtful and beautiful. I wish I remembered everyone’s names but Amanda, Jordan, Ismael, Farmer Sal, Farmer Mark and Farmer Nicole - you were all so exceedingly lovely and kind to us. Food was delicious too!! Will book another trip soon!

First trip with our 8 month old infant and we loved it! We had stayed once before, without kids, and found it even more pleasant this time because the staff were so helpful and understanding. Pack and play, baby diaper pail, and white noise machine in the room were very thoughtful and of high quality. Transport of luggage and even taking us with baby to and from room was really helpful. Grounds were easily walkable with a stroller. They even helped us upgrade after first day at a very fair price, given it was mid week, to a room that suited our needs. We'll be back. If you're traveling on a first trip with a baby or are traveling with kids of any age, I highly recommend this. And we loved it when we traveled as a couple before our kid was born too. So really, I recommend it overall.
