Stone taken from the Carmel River completely covers the lower level of the inn and surrounds the fireplace in each guest room. It all magically fits together like the pieces of a giant puzzle and creates the needed harmony for a restful retreat. A radiant glow hovers over the entire scene, a glimmer of something that transcends the ordinary, the whole acting as a backdrop for the work of local artisans featured throughout the property. All 24 guest rooms echo the tastes of today while paying homage to the past. Intimacy and understatement are evident in the appointments of handsome American and English antiques, decorative and country accessories, and colorful quilts.
Fresh flowers scent the air, and a big bowl of fresh fruit completes the picture.
Mornings, the daily newspaper is delivered to the door. At late afternoon tea, the antique buffet in the main living room is filled to capacity with complimentary mouth-watering hors d'oeuvres, tea, Sherry, and wine. Overstuffed chairs and sofas have been thoughtfully arranged in conversational groupings around the oversized stone fireplace perfect for enjoying the smorgasbord of goodies and chatting with other guests about the many and varied sights to see in Carmel and in and about the Monterey Peninsula. Breakfast is also a special time at The Cobblestone Inn. A full one is served in the guest's room, in the dining room on tables covered with vintage linens, or on the terrace of the courtyard.
