Many are now working from home in today's "new normal" during the COVID-19 pandemic. While this setup can add extra stress to home life, it also allows more flexibility to work from anywhere. For those looking for a change of scenery from their home office, Carmel Green Lantern Inn is a safe, peaceful spot perfect to plan a mini-vacation while working remotely.
Enjoy the Fresh Ocean Air
Our private cottages and the surrounding neighborhood sit comfortably between cypress and redwood trees, offering a tranquil, beautiful backdrop to get work done. When you need a break and want to enjoy the ocean breeze, Carmel Beach is only a 10-minute stroll away. Explore the surrounding area and countless hiking trails once you've clocked out for the day or take a drive to visit scenic beaches along the coastline. The inn is only a block from downtown, but it's tucked away in a quiet neighborhood away from traffic and other distractions. Get the best of both worlds—a peaceful workday with shopping and dining close by when you're finished (or for a quick lunch break)!
