Fern Falls Tours and Activities

The staff was extremely friendly, and the room (although small) was comfortable.

Clean room, friendly staff, very accommodating.

We had a great stay! The continental breakfast was simple but did the job—there were croissants (including ham & cheese), muffins, granola bars, cereal, milk, juice, yogurt, and coffee, which was perfect to start the day. The rooms were clean, and the AC/heating worked really well, making everything comfortable. The property itself felt clean and aesthetically pleasing throughout. There’s both a parking garage and a front lot—it’s a bit tight for larger cars, but we never had trouble finding a spot. It’s a non-smoking property, which we appreciated. While there’s no pool, the location makes up for it. It’s close to the beach, and just a short drive to the wharf and State Street for dining, drinks, and activities. During our stay, we visited Mission Santa Barbara, which was only about a 10-minute drive. We also went to Stearns Wharf—super easy parking and only about 5 minutes from the inn. One of our favorite parts was renting e-bikes and riding all the way to Butterfly Beach. The ride through Channel Drive had stunning views—definitely a highlight of the trip! After our ride, we returned the bikes and ate at Santa Barbara Shellfish Company on the wharf. Highly recommend the bread bowl clam chowder, the cioppino, and the lobster roll—everything was delicious!! State Street also offered great nightlife and tons of dining options. Overall, we had an amazing time and would definitely stay here again!
