Circa 1925. The only challenging part of a visit to this 1920s craftsman-style house is figuring out where the deep blue sea ends and clear skies begin. Located in the heart of the Monterey Peninsula, this two-story, three-building inn offers sea or garden views from the main house, while you will find rustic ambiance, surrounded by oak and redwood trees, in the cottage and redwood chalet rooms. Relax in the spa beneath the tall trees in the gardens, which are often visited by deer and monarch butterflies, or enjoy a glass of champagne while observing Koi in the fountain ponds. Or, spend time in the wood-paneled dining, sitting and reading rooms while enjoying complimentary hors d'oeuvres and planning a day full of activities.

My husband and I stayed here right after our wedding...First impression: it smelled as if about 20 cats lived there, and carpet desperately needed replacement. We arrived later than expected at 8:45 pm, and the woman who worked the office stated she goes to bed at 9pm. We walked outside real quick to get our bags, and when we came back to the house, we discovered she inadvertently locked us out. No big deal, but when we started ringing the door bell, she finally came out, looking at me thru the window as if I was crazy. I told her we were locked out, and she shook her head in disgust and mouthed the words "oh-my-God" ! She let us in, and was so rude to us!! We will NOT be staying there again. On the up side, Jaz, the Chef, was awesome, and his breakfast was FABULOUS!!

I just wrapped up a 4 night stay at Rhe Inn at 213 Seventeen Mile Drive and it was exactly what I was looking for. The innkeeper Steve goes out of his way to make all his guests - whether a one-night stay or a month- feel completely at home. The inn is perfectly situated in a residential area right at the corner of Lighthouse and 17 Mile Drive; it's about a 5 minute walk to the Pacific Grove "downtown". Good quiet area. I had the smallest room but for one person, or two who don't plan on being there much will find it comfy. The bed was surprisingly comfortable; and, the private bath spotless and spacious. Steve and Jim (of the owner's family) made terrifc breakfasts and hors d'hoevres. You'll have to ask Steve about his "deep fried" berry pancakes. Delicious! And, the evening snacks could well be dinner - not just cheese and crackers. It's obvious that Steve and the owners care about their guests.
