The Holman Ranch is a wonderful picturesque location. My wife and I traveled from Rhode Island for a good friend's wedding. The accommodations are excellent although the rooms could use slightly more ambient light. Not an issue at all!Had a great dinner and the barn was a nice little venue to cut loose in. If you plan on running or... More

I was invited here as part of a Carmel Valley fundraiser for local non profit companies. There are beautiful hillsides, beautiful vegetation, and the setting just lends itself to being able to relax and enjoy in an area of the Monterey/Carmel area that avoids most fog, and has temperatures in the 70's on a regular basis.

This place is like the perfect setting for seeing the REAL California. The owners are regular folks, not some spawn of a nutty hotel family that shows up on reality shows. I'm a native Southern Californian and if I were bringing in guests for the "real California" experience, this would be a must-hit place. It's really peaceful and yeah, the... More

There are a lot of great places to taste wine in Carmel Valley, and Holman Ranch is certainly one of them. Sometimes however, you want a bit more than just good wine. If it's a "total experience" that you seek, this is the place to visit! The business is family owned and operated, which really shows from the moment you... More

I was here for a corporate meeting but I can see why this place would be popular as wedding destination. It's got a sweeping gorgeous view, grounds are immaculate. It's very private and self contained -- has 10 rooms, outdoor dining area, barn area for an indoor party. Really lovely property.

I had a strong urge to go horseback riding and see the Carmel Valley and chose the historic Holman Ranch. This Ranch is extremely well kept and so are the horses. They can accomadate all levels of riders and match you up with the appropriate horse. I went on the 2-hour Gene Autry Ride with wrangler-ette Melinda and had a... More
