    West Coast Ranch-Meets-Resort with Stunning Hospitality!

    Carmel Valley Ranch is phenomenal in every way! While we often love to explore new destinations, CVR has become our #1 most beloved go-to spot to visit regularly. From the sprawling gorgeous property to the abundance of thoughtfully-designed activities to Valley Kitchen's delicious meals to the *amazing* CVR team, this ranch-meets-resort delights at every turn. Beautiful hikes? Check! A mind-boggling range of activities, from herd meet and greets to pastoral workshops to fitness classes? Galore! Spacious suites with amazing amenities and CVR bath products? Yes! Daily evening campfire s'mores to connect with other guests? Always! Highlights with special thanks during our most recent visit: - Manager REBECAH for making a special occasion extra wonderful, including generously upgrading us to a Hilltop Ranch Suite and surprising us with an in-room bottle of CVR's Swing Reserve pinot noir. Oh, how I love taking lavender bubble baths in the glorious outdoor tub and cozying up in front of the fireplace! - Director of Activities KIRSTEN for making time to personally greet us and inviting one of our party's younger guests to attend the Bath & Body Workshop. KIRSTEN, your entire team is always super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! Shoutout to CYRUS for guiding us in booking so many activities throughout the years! - The Bath & Body workshop, hosted by SOPHIA, was excellent fun! Under SOPHIA's gracious tutelage, we made a goat's milk soap with dried flowers, exfoliating body scrub, and shea butter moisturizer, all while using scrumptious essential oils and CVR-grown ingredients. - ISABELLE at both the Organic Garden Meet and Greet and Corral's Hilltop Meet and Greet is so knowledgeable and kind! Thank you for introducing the younger guests in our group to the chickens and goats! SAL, thank you for sharing both your ranching expertise and incredible CVR journey! - Cheesemaker AUDRA's and Beekeeper RACHEL's cheese and honey tastings were super educational! - EDWARD at the front desk, your awesome hospitality made us feel so welcome! See you again very soon, CVR!

    Great stay! Recommend!!

    Beautiful modern room with very comfortable bed and pillows. The bathtub was also more spacious than expected! The place also has many activities (complementary and paid), very suitable for families with kids or friends/couples. Also a very calm place, great for a weekend getaway!

    Wonderful Setting

    We stayed at the resort March 23-24 using the GolfMoose Stay and Play package. We had a wonderful time, with awesome weather. Kelly was remarkable in his customer service to us. The restaurant lost our lunch order, we had to wait something like 40 minutes for our food, but at least the manager comped our lunch. Overall, very good stay.

    Great resort with excellent staff!

    This is one of the best resorts I've had the pleasure to visit- great rooms, super helpful staff including the Concierge Andy AND our dinner server Jose A! The grounds are beautiful including the golf course and vineyard and what a wonderful surprise to see the farm animals. Can't wait to bring my grandchildren here!

    An elegant retreat at Carmel Valley Ranch

    We enjoyed a relaxing long weekend at Carmel Valley Ranch in Carmel, CA. We had a beautifully-appointed suite, which was gorgeous and spacious. Breakfast at the Valley Kitchen was delicious. It’s convenient to have an excellent restaurant on site.
