Lamp Lighter Inn

Jump to:

Tucked into an old grove of trees, the Lamp Lighter Inn is a charming B&B located in Carmel. Just a short walk from the shops, restaurants and the famous white sands of Carmel Beach, it's been a favorite for those visiting the area since 1912. The property features manicured gardens with handmade birdhouses, fire pits and secluded gazebos for guests to enjoy throughout their stay.

Each room and cottage is individually decorated and full of character. Sunset House Suites all have wood-burning fireplaces for guests to cozy around on colder evenings. A light breakfast is available for all guests in the garden each morning.

OUR OPINION:

These snug rooms give the impression of staying in beachside cottages, and being only a short distance from the beach it’s close to the mark.

OUR RATING: Simple
