I got this as a gift for my parents. They absolutely loved it! Such a beautiful place and they were greeted with a very nice welcome gift! And, the mid week discount is amazing!

Cozy cabin camping
My family and I had a lovely stay at Erin’s 1920s Redwood Bungalow. The cottage was beautiful and cozy, and it felt like a home away from home! From the fresh fruit, bottle of wine, and ground coffee that greeted us to the beautiful property (and wedding venue), we couldn’t have asked for a more idyllic place to stay while exploring Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea! My oldest son had a great time playing bocce ball on the nearby court.

Welcome to Paradise - Stay a while!
You have to stay here to really experience all that the ‘Banana Cabana’ and surrounding lush grounds, have to offer. My daughter and I needed to get away for a few days for a change of scenery. We soaked up the sun during the day out on the spacious deck, and even though we continued to work and school, we never felt like we were still in the clock. The bungalow was immaculate and so cozy, fully stocked with everything you need from kitchen to bathroom items & for those of you who need it, the WiFi was strong! During your stay try and sit in every possible outdoor seating arrangement -there are many and we took it on as a fun challenge! The old windmill lawn…another ‘must experience’. The location was perfect, because when we wanted to cruise into Carmel it was a 12 min. Drive! Erin and Ryan were incredible, such gracious hosts. Ryan gave us some great tips on where to hike and what to see during our stay! They are known for the weddings they hold here, so if you are planning a wedding, know someone or want to renew vows do consider this beyond amazing venue. We will most definitely be back…and possibly even for one our kiddos weddings! ❤️

The bungalow was such a nice little escape from the world! It was equipped with everything you could need to cook and grill, it was cozy beyond belief, and we had a wonderful weekend. Thank you so much!

Paraiso King Suite: Poet's Lair
It was a cute spot on a large property that was beautifully landscaped. It felt like a cabin except that the huge door and window openings were only covered by cloth with gaping holes, so any attempt to heat the place with the fireplace or space heaters was futile. We had on double layers of socks, pants, and shirts with coats and winter hats and were still cold inside. Probably amazing and worth the price in warmer weather. Owners were responsive and very nice.
