Hi judyrem, I just found your post! I haven't stayed at any of the BW properties in Carmel, we like the Carmel Highland's area. Have you considered the Tickle Pink Inn? It's wonderful, as is the Highland's Inn. :)

Last time we were in Carmel (in Sept.) I thought how nice it would be to just concentrate on Carmel and stay at one of the little inns downtown. I would love to stay at the L'Auberge for my birthday. I have to try Bouchee, we may just drive there for the day to have dinner if our schedules don't allow an overnight trip. :)

I'm also really wanting see the Carmel Valley and go to some of the wineries in that area. ***kim*** ((l))
