The historic Mission Ranch sits on 22 acres with spectacular views of Point Lobos, Carmel River Beach and the Pacific Ocean. Once one of the first dairies in California, the rich history of this 1800’s ranch was preserved and restored by former Carmel Mayor, Clint Eastwood. A longtime Carmel resident, Clint Eastwood rescued this landmark resort from condo developers, and renovated the entire property to provide a unique resort experience. The Inn now consists of 31 hotel rooms located within ten buildings on the property.

What a hidden gem of a place. The grounds we were rustic and beautiful with sea views and crashing waves in the distance. Although the hotel rooms are rustic and plain, they were clean and enjoyable. The restaurant was excellent and everything we had was great. I had their halibut and prime rib meals and the portions were generous but pricey. The breakfast was very good with excellent service. I highly recommend this place.

Incredible location on the ocean, great service, excellent food and ambience. Exceptional rooms well maintained and comfortable. The staff is there for you night and day with a smile as always.

We have been coming to the Mission Ranch restaurant for over 15 years. It has always been a place my wife have loved, both for the food and the great piano bar. This year was again a joy, but also a bit of a problem as my wife dropped a gold bracelet that night and didn't realize it until the next morning. After calling the retaurant and ultimately visiting with Mary Santana, not only did they find the bracelet, it was shipped back to us for free. We can't say enough good things about the food, ambiance and especially the incredible service. When in Carmel, we will always return here. Many thanks to all who helped.

Delicious Ceasar salad followed by roasted strawberries for dessert. Views are spectacular. Service was very attentive and a fun golf cart ride to the restaurant.

Sooo nice. We loved our stay at Mission Ranch. The hotel is beautiful. Our balcony had rocking chairs overlooking the beach. The whole place was so peaceful with huge beds and a lovely bathroom with a big bathtub. We definitely plan to come back and stay longer.
