Place is very welcoming and gorgeous back yard. Staff very helpful.
Was a great experience. My wife and I had a great time. Very friendly staff even though everything was contactless. They were very helpful through the stay.
The owner was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home! The room had a lovely chimney, and they provided dura flame logs that created a cozy atmosphere. Overall, it was such a nice and peaceful place to stay!
We walked in and said "Wow!" We knew we had found a true gem in Santa Barbara. A beautifully restored vintage home with wood paneling, curly-cues and beautiful grounds. We sat down in the back and just sighed. Ahhh!
I like the place overall. It was lovely and the check in is super easy. They will give you a code to the inn and you can access the front door and your bedroom. The staff were friendly and helpful. One downside was that it was hard to find the right temperature for the shower. But I will stay there again.
I would definitely stay here again, close to everything, room was small but who needs a huge room, very private, loved the old wood & bay window. Nice place
This Inn was so lovely to stay, the room was so comfortable and beautiful. The best part was the help and communication from the General Manager, Humberto. He was so helpful and communicative and made my stay so much more comfortable. Will definitely be staying here again.
