About Cheryl Assemi

My family and I have lived in the area for 6 years. Purchasing, remodeling and restoring Log Haven Cottage was a labor of love for us which took most of 2012 to complete. We wanted it to look the way, we felt, it always should have.

Cheryl Assemi purchased this cottage in 2011
Why Cheryl Assemi chose Carmel

Log Haven and all 4 of our other listings (Tradewinds 938557, Home Port 938549, Moon Gate 938556 and Sky Way 938553) reside on one property, the Carmel Cottage Inn. We are a full time vacation rental with hotel status, which allows us to rent by the night. The gardens and patios are designed to give each cottage a feeling of privacy. The proximity of our cottages, patios and gardens to each other, as well as to the beach and downtown Carmel, make them equally ideal for a single cottage rental or for larger groups, family reunions, etc. To keep the houses fresh for longer visits, we arrange for periodic light housekeeping for stays of 3 nights or longer.

What makes this cottage unique

Built in 1907, Log Haven Cottage has an elegantly quirky charm. Almost every door in the house is different, and the staircase leading upstairs was built at a time when staircases were quite narrow. It's loaded with closets and cubbies. We hope our guests will love Log Haven Cottage as much as we do.

Far exceded expectations!

Myself and 6 friends were able to enjoy a little getaway and were blown away with this Carmel jewel. The pictures do not do it justice. The charm and details in this lovely home are endless! We loved sitting around the large dining room table chatting, eating and playing games. The family room is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the cozy fireplace. The home was even decorated for Christmas....another wonderful surprise! Cheryl was great to work with and the special touches she includes when you arrive are above and beyond what is expected. Also, the location...superb! We're already planning to return next year!

The Perfect Carmel Retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: October 9, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
Log Haven is every bit as wonderful as it looks in the pictures. Six friends and I stayed for a weekend in early October and absolutely loved it! The experience couldn't have been better: the house is beautifully maintained and was perfectly prepared for our arrival with plenty of extra linens, soap and shampoo, quality pots, pans, and dishes in the kitchen, and even a welcome gift basket. Cheryl was great, both to talk to over the phone when booking the rental, and when she stopped by shortly after check-in to say hello and make sure that we had everything we needed. The location is perfect as well; a block from the beach and two short blocks from Ocean Avenue. Highly, highly recommended; I'd stay again in an instant!

60th Birthday Treat

5 of 5
Submitted: September 8, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
My wife treated us, 6 adults, to a stay in Log Haven Cottage for my birthday. The cottage was beautifully decorated and furnished and very well equipped throughout, especially the kitchen. The property was cleaned twice during out week's stay and the towels also changed twice, which is very refreshing. The location was great for the beach with a one block walk to the golden sands and blue Pacific Ocean. Carmel was walkable from the cottage but parking was easy if you wished to drive. There is an abundance of eating places in Carmel to suit everyones taste; the shopping experience was fabulous, according to the ladies!
The surrounding area includes the fantastic Pebble Beach golf course (which I played!), Seventeen Mile Drive and the Big Sur, which, when taken into account makes the location almost perfect! Be prepared for some days being misty in August and pack a couple of jumpers otherwise just kick back and enjoy the whole experience. Given the opportunity (to quote the a certain movie star) 'We will be back!'

Loghaven Cottage Was Fantastic

5 of 5

We were celebrating a birthday and had the chance to stay at the Loghaven Cottage on the Carmel Cottage Inn property. The home was beautiful. Amazing 50's style appliances (brand new, just designed to look that way) made updated kitchen look like was vintage. The home is tastefully decorated. The grounds are gorgeous, and the location, 1 block over from Ocean Street and one block up from the beach, was ideal. You could walk all around easily and hear the waves at night. Highly recommended.

The Best Vacation!

My family and I recently stayed at the Loghaven Cottage in Carmel by the Sea for a much needed get-away. We could not have asked for a better place to unwind and enjoy a few days of peace and relaxation. The views are stunning; we loved that we could just walk across the street and be on the beach, and the cottage has every amenity we could ask for - especially for a large group. It was the perfect spot for us. We definitely plan to be back for another vacation in the near future!
