In case all of you haven't realized it yet, Mission Ranch happens to be the most beautiful place to stay in all of the Carmel/Monterey area. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and impeccable. We have stayed in several different rooms there and I have to admit that some of the rooms could have a nicer decor, but we enjoy it every year there and the restaurant has great food too. Mission Ranch: for people who enjoy the finer things in life.
