The Carmel Wayfarer is a charming inn located in the heart of beautiful Carmel-by-the-Sea. Relax and mingle with other guests during our afternoon wine & cheese reception between 4:00 and 6:00 PM. Many excellent restaurants, galleries and shops are all within walking distance. And after a memorable evening of dining, conversation, strolling and a great night's sleep, join us for a delightful extended breakfast buffet between 8:00 and 10:00 AM.

Choose an intimate, cozy room overlooking the rooftops of Carmel. Perhaps a room with a view of sea, sky, or garden is a better fit. Whatever your need the Carmel Wayfarer Inn offers accommodations for everyone. Our private garden courtyard, dining area and kitchen, make the Inn ideal for small group gatherings and wedding parties.

Dennis (our Innkeeper and talented gardener), Teresa, Laura and Roberto staff our front desk and host a plentiful extended continental buffet breakfast. Each afternoon we serve select wines and cheeses, and keep our cookie jars full of home-made treats. We are very familiar with the area and will gladly help with concierge needs.

Three blocks from Ocean Avenue, the Inn’s location enables guests to park their cars onsite (limited parking) and walk to all of Carmel’s shops, galleries and restaurants and the famous Carmel white sand beach.

Whatever brings you to Carmel, once you stay with us you will join the growing number of our guests who return and tell their friends and relatives "Stay at the Carmel Wayfarer Inn. It was extraordinary".
