Thank you! ##### Travis Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike Aug 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We loved staying there! The bed was a bit springy and the water still ran in the tub when the shower was turned on. The lever that converts the tub water stream to the shower water stream wasn’t working very well. Really very minor issues! The hotel was SO clean and beautiful. All the staff was so friendly! I will be staying there again and would absolutely recommend it! ##### Mike Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frazier May 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Charming, spacious room, friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable bed with beautiful linens. Great stay. ##### Frazier Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was quiet and serene. Located just far enough from the hustle and bustle areas with people. My room overlooked the front of the property. It was cozy. I also love the various sitting areas inside and outside on the long porch. I love how Well Bread Bakery is right across the street and the entire village/town is small enough to walk around in under 30 mins. It’s like a hidden secret. Definitely recommend if you want to get away for solitude. ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A wonderfully designed hotel with a great ambience and quiet comfortable rooms. ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lucy Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Room comfort #### Pleasant but overpriced This is a small property which does not have someone permanently available on reception desk. Communication wasn’t easy. Pleasant staff and nice rooms but somewhat overpriced for the quality. ##### Lucy Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roseanne Feb 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful and cozy highly recommend! ##### Roseanne Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica Oct 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay ! ##### Monica Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kendra Dec 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice stay! ##### Kendra Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy Mar 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Just a wonderful place to relax. ##### Timothy Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lori Aug 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities My evening was ruined because I could not get onto your wifi. Change the password! I was not the only guest w this problem—a capital “I” looks identical to a lower case “l”. I could t check on my dog or make arrangements for the am w my friends. Over a confusing password and no one anywhere after 9 to ask. The breakfast was excellent but the wifi frustration ruined my night and my sleep. Change it. ##### Lori Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Virginia Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The location was close to Los Olivos and good for a one night stay. The room was comfortable, but somewhat dated. The front door key we were given didn’t work, and we had to call the emergency number to get in after we returned from dinner. They answered on the second call and we got in. ##### Virginia Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Don May 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location, warm service but limited. The rooms are comfortable, fire places are great, the bathrooms are nice. The common areas are super cozy. The breakfast was very good, could have been great but no eggs cooked to order. Overall a 4.5. ##### Don Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janice Apr 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A lovely building with a charming antique decor.
