Overview of accommodations

The Holly Farm recommends a number of hotels and we have selected some to list here. Please feel free to ask us for more info, or you can contact Erin at the Holly Farm directly for suggestions. There is also a room and house reservation service at the bottom of this page. Note that most hotels in the Carmel area require a 2 night minimum stay. We have called all of these hotels and so far we have not been able to secure any discounted rates, but please let us know your plans so we can try to group people together.

Here's some quick info to help you decide where you would like to stay:

• Carmel Valley: The wedding weekend events will take place at the Holly Farm in Carmel Valley, about 6 miles inland from downtown Carmel and the beach. Carmel Valley is usually sunny. There are two fancy resorts right next to the Holly Farm which are described below.
• Carmel (by the Sea): The downtown Carmel area near the gorgeous beach is called Carmel by the Sea. There's lots of fancy shops and places to eat and it's fun to walk around. Carmel itself can be foggy at times. There are a lot of very cute hotels and we have 3 listed here.
• Monterey: Monterey is also very close. There's a downtown area with shops, and the wharf area also with shops (where the Monterey Bay Aquarium is). We have listed one hotel which is on the beach, and two large hotels.
• Pebble Beach and Pacific Grove are two other cute places nearby where it would be convenient to stay.
