How Tickle Pink Got Its Name

On the site where our spectacular property stands was once the home of State Senator Edward and Mrs. Bess Tickle. Mrs. Tickle, a great lover of flowers and of pink flowers in particular, named their hillside stone cottage ‘Tickle Pink.’ The enchanting stone cottage is gone, but the name and its traditions happily remain.

Our guests return to the name they remember and the view and personalized service they never forget. Explore our Carmel hotel special offers now!
