Excellent property and superb location.
The home is much bigger than the pictures, and it has something for everyone, a piano and guitars for the musicians, foosball and a pool table and games for the kiddos. My kids loved playing foosball and playing with the dominos. You can tell Rich put a lot of thought and consideration in the house, from the heated bathroom floors, the firepit for roasting marshmallows, the high-end appliances in the kitchen, and the really nice bedding. My kids liked even the decor, trinkets and various artwork throughout the home. We were just a family of four but this place could comfortably accomodate 6 people. The location is awesome, you can walk to Pt. lobos state reserve. Its only a short drive,15 min to Monterey Aquarium. The kids loved feeding the cows too. I was able to cook nice meals for my kids each day and grill too which is a huge plus. Overall, the place greatly exceeded my expectations. So happy we booked this place.

Beautiful spot for a family getaway
We couldn’t have been more comfortable or relaxed, and enjoyed the beautiful property and views. The space was fun for my 10 year old son and in walking distance to great beach views and hikes, and a short drive to Carmel’s village. Wonderful hosts and an excellent property!

Staying at the barn is such a unique experience. We were able to enjoy S’mores overlooking the ocean, feed and pet miniature highland cows and enjoy everything Carmel and Monterey have to offer. Plus, playing pool kept and foosball kept the kids entertained during any downtime. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Unique property, amazing location
We stayed for a full week at this super fun & unique property. Our family of 5 fit perfectly and had an amazing time! The barn itself feels very modern, with a fully-stocked kitchenette, large TV’s, and plenty of comfy seating. The kids played foosball & pool non-stop, ran outside to pet the cows, sat around the fire pit to listen to waves crashing while making s’mores, streamed their favorite show easily on the main TV to watch together… this house facilitates so much family bonding time. It’s also right across from Point Lobos, a short drive into downtown Carmel, and grocery shopping is less than 5 minutes down the road. A wonderful place to stay in a beautiful location - definitely a gem!

Highly recommend this property. Great family and place is new and built with love. The barn is amazing and great place for family with lots of space, fun things to do, great outdoor seating with water views. The kids had a lot of fun and it was only a few minutes drive to downtown Carmel for the adults. Highly highly recommend and will be returning soon.

Wonderful stay!
My family had a lovely couple of days at this spacious, impeccably clean restored barn! The location was perfect...just a short walk to Point Lobos and a short drive to Carmel/shops, 17 mi drive, Mission, Aquarium, etc. I'm not sure what the kids loved more - feeding the two resident Scottish Highland cows or competing in cutthroat rounds of foosball. Rich, the host, was super friendly and helpful with restaurant and other points of interest recommendations. When we realized the Nespresso machine wasn't working, he had it descaled and up and running in no time (while also leaving us a box of sea salt caramels for the inconvenience). All in all, we'd stay here again in a heart beat.

Great property. Specially location which is right in the art of nature. Beautiful natural reserve park right across the street and really nice beach within 10 mins walk. My 6 year old son had so much fun just running around the house in the huge farm style yard. We git a nice weather and the sky was magnificent at nights. Rich, the owner is very nice and always available to help. We appreciate his friendly welcoming at the start.

This was our 29th anniversary and my husband and I had a glorious four days around Carmel, Big Sur and Point Lobos. You can literally walk across the street into the point Lobos park. We highly recommend the flying Fish Café in Carmel, one of our best meals ever. Rich, the host was very interesting and pleasant. Overall, it was just a wonderful trip.

Carmel Stay Extraordinaire!!!!
We were looking for an ocean view property for our special 50th Anniversary stay in Carmel......Well, we found it at The Brown Barn!!!! This is a family fun rental, and also a great stay for a romantic couple. The views are spectacular, ocean to forest, and easy walk to Pt. Lobos and Monastery Beach. We took full advantage of the spacious outdoor seating using the firering each evening. The entire property is immaculate and extremely private for a casual stay. Taylor & Bella, the Hyland cows, are adorable and loved getting a hand full of alfalfa feed. Rich, the Host, gave us a warm welcome tour and has wonderful recommendations for any kind of activities in the area. We instantly felt at home. We highly recommend The Brown Barn for a short or long stay. This is one of the most beautiful and unique, properties we have discovered!!!

The brown barn was the perfect location for a wonderful two nights in Carmel. What more can you ask for? A great view from the house, two cows to say hello to, a grocery store just a few minutes away, and mere steps from Point Lobos reserve. And of course, the road to Big Sur is also right at your doorstep. Very happy with our choice in this property.
