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***
