"The pictures don’t do justice to this home, and even looking from the street you cannot appreciate how beautiful the home is inside. Simply gorgeous! The upkeep of the home is impeccable. The modern amenities do not take away the originality and cozy cottage feel of the house. The cleanliness was outstanding, beds were very comfortable, and the staff left us a bottle of wine with crackers and cheese with a sweet note, all of which was a nice an enjoyable surprise. In my case, there was a...

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (79)
"What a great place and location! The remodeled barn was spacious, comfortable, stylish and unique! Perfect for our family of five.

Oak Place Too: Beautiful Updated 4 bedroom 3 1/2 Bath in Carmel

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (12)
"This was a beautiful property and the property management is always very helpful. The check in process was seamless. Enjoyed the upgrades done to this house. I do wish there were more amenities such as a full size ironing board and more hand towels. Also, wish there was a better description that the 4th bedroom and other bathroom was in a different area of the house. You had to go into a different door outside in the front of the house. So those who wish to stay in that room would not be in the...

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (47)
"The property is exactly as advertised and shown in the pictures. The upstairs bedroom feels like you are in a secluded treehouse with all the greenery out the windows. It's a short easy downhill walk into town. Very well maintained, beautiful fixtures, charming with a French farmhouse vibe. We spent a lot of time just in the house because it was so relaxing and peaceful to just lounge there. Highly recommend."
