Nestled between Carmel and Monterey, this 1919 cream-colored lodge with green awnings and 13 multistory guesthouses is on the eighteenth green of the Pebble Beach Golf Links. “For a golfer, it’s the best.” “Incredibly private rooms” have wood-burning fireplaces and private decks overlooking the gardens, oceanside fairways, and Carmel Bay. “Surprising amenities and unbelievable service make this place stand out.” Stillwater Bar & Grill features California cuisine with dishes of fresh seafood and organic produce. “I would go back in a heartbeat, and I’m not even a golfer!” Spa treatments incorporate seaweed and other local ingredients.
