We recently stayed in one of the tent cabins at the Carmel River Inn. It was a fun change of pace, and a great way to escape the heat in the Bay Area. Our tent was the definition of "glamping" – a tent connected to a kitchenette and bathroom – super clean, with every single detail attended to, from the supplies in the kitchenette to the bathroom. The bed was comfortable, but nothing to write home about. (I'll be honest, a more comfortable mattress would have made this a 5-star review in every category.) I love nothing more than to travel and sleep in a bed more comfortable than my own (which isn't asking for much). That said, tent cabins may not be for the faint of heart. It was mostly very quiet and we tried to stay quiet to not disturb our neighbors (who are pretty close, to be honest). We LOVED all the bird sounds, and frogs, and we're pretty sure we heard foxes, too. However, one thing we heard was the salesman next door on Zoom calls from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. one morning. In his defense, I don't think he knew we could hear him (and the person he was talking to, also), and we didn't take any action (we didn't contact the office or speak to him). But it's something to be aware of if you're looking for complete quiet. We were there for three days, and of the neighbors who came and went, including a family with kids, he was the most disruptive. of them. Would we return? Absolutely. BTW, photos don't do this place justice. Adorable cabins, great landscaping.
