    Built in 1926, the Happy Landing is ideally situated……a short stroll to either the white sands of Carmel’s renowned beaches or those quaint downtown shops. The English style design embodies the Hansel and Gretel charm of an era gone by and has evolved into one of Carmel's most romantic places to stay. Enjoy the comforts of our antique-furnished rooms with their cathedral ceilings and stained glass windows – some with fireplaces. Outside your door you will find our award winning gardens where you can reflect by the pond, or simply relax under the gazebo. Each morning a warm breakfast is brought to your room. Join us at one of Carmel’s true landmarks… Happy Landing Inn

    A Relaxing Retreat

    May 04, 2013

    We stayed at the Happy Landing Inn in April 2013 and could not have been happier with our choice. We were looking for a dog friendly place in a great Carmel location that would not break the bank - this is it! The cottages are older but they are clean and well kept. The proprietors could not have been more gracious. The Inn is situated one block from the main drive and a few short blocks from the beach. It is convenient and you can experience all the area has to offer while being able to return to a quiet oasis at the end of the day. The daily breakfast delivery was a delicious bonus - and our dog thoroughly enjoyed his biscuit. Max gives four paws up and we will definitely be returning again and again!

    A slice of heaven

    April 16, 2013

    We have been at Happy Landing Inn foe many years. Dawn is now a part of our family whom we visit every year. She is loving with our little dog. This is a very special place. When you walk through the garden gate it is like stepping into a European village. We will be back next year for more memories.

    Great weekend get away!

    April 03, 2013

    My wife and I have known Dawn for many years and always enjoy the Inn and her hospitality. She always has the latest information about Carmel and the newest resturants. The Inn is so relaxing and located in the center of town for easy access to everything, We have been coming to Carmel since 1979 and it feels like home. Thanks to Dawn!

    Turn back Time

    February 13, 2013

    We booked the smallest room since we were on a budget, but when we got there and the owner saw that it was a special weekend for us - she updated us to a Queen Room. I was blown away by her generosity. The room was cozy and charmingly decorated with antiques, and to get to the rooms we passed by the lovely garden and gazebo. I could have just stayed there all weekend and feel like i had taken an entire vacation in another place and time! The breakfast service was simple and sweet, filling without being overdone with fancy trimmings. All in all, we enjoyed the atmosphere and the hospitality. I wish there were more places like this so we could have a Happy Landing everywhere!

    A Step Back in Time with all the comforts of today

    July 03, 2012

    We enjoyed celebrating our 41st anniversary at this charming Bed and Breakfast Inn. Built in the tradition of the fantastic million dollar cottages of Carmel, we loved feeling a part of the quaint, fairytale essence of the City. Thanks to the Inn's dog-friendly policy, we were able to take our labrador with us and a treat for him was included with our delicious breakfast which we enjoyed outside in the gazebo by the lawn and lovely fountain. The food was prepared perfectly and served in an elegant manner. The Inn is located between the shopping/restaurant district off Ocean Ave. and a few blocks to the beach. It is off the beaten path for traffic but within walking distance to the many lovely shops and restaurants that Carmel has to offer. Our Hostess, Dawn, was helpful and delightful as she shared some of the history of the cottages. Our room was comfortable and decorated with lovely antique furniture. We truly felt welcome and can't wait to return.

    30 Years at Happy Landing

    July 01, 2012

    We first stayed on our Honeymoon 6/26/1982 and have stayed many times over the past 30 years. It was an obvious choice for our 30th Anniversary and the staff at the Inn did not disappoint. It is like home to us and it is nice for people to remember you and make our stay as comfortable as possible. If you want a regular place to go to get away this is the place. Thank you for Dawn for another great stay and we look forward to next year for 31 years!!

    Great place to stay, especially with dogs

    June 24, 2012

    I've stayed here twice, and both times have been great experiences. Dawn, the owner, is very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect. It's two blocks from Ocean Avenue, and about a five minute walk to the beach. It's a beautiful setting, and very quiet at night. The room I stayed in was a little small, but very comfortable and cozy. Breakfast is delicious, and delivered to your door. Very dog friendly, which both I and my dogs appreciate. I will always stay here when I visit Carmel.
