CARMEL VALLEY RANCH

My favorite place to do nothing

by Madelyn Miller

People often ask me about the romantic place I’ve ever traveled to.

This is one thing my husband and I would agree upon.

Carmel Valley Ranch

Surrounded by rolling hills, this is an oasis of secluded luxury in the tranquil California countryside.

Some people go to Carmel Valley Ranch to play golf on their Pete Dye championship course.  Others enjoy tennis in the spectacular setting.

Many people take a hike or go horseback riding in the hills.

But we mostly stayed in our spacious suite, lit a fire and enjoyed the breathtaking views from our room.

Maybe next time when we go back, we’ll take more advantage of the activities.

But we had a wonderful time doing absolutely nothing at Carmel Valley Ranch

Well, we did have simultaneous massages in our room. What was wonderful is that we had a suite and it was so large the masseuses could put two tables in the bedroom. After the massage, they brewed us herbal tea and left us a goodie basket that included those birdseed eyeshades.

And then we definitely had sweet dreams
