    No nonsense – just the truth

    A charming escape with a personal touch. The intimate restaurant provides delicious meals, and the staff is genuinely attentive. Breakfast is freshly made, adding a lovely start to the day. The only drawbacks include limited amenities, like no TVs or refrigerators, which might not suit everyone. Prepare for a peaceful, unplugged experience.

    welcoming staff
    charcuterie board
    spotty wi-fi

    the wi-fi in the room was spotty. but the complimentary breakfast was generous, we barely finished it. the staff was incredibly welcoming, offering us champagne on arrival. and the charcuterie board in the afternoon was a nice touch.

    cozy atmosphere
    delicious breakfast
    great activities
    closed restaurant

    We had an amazing group getaway! Enjoyed great activities like the Santa Barbara Wine Country Cycling Tours and meals at the Gathering Table. The cozy atmosphere and delicious breakfast made our stay unforgettable. Don't miss the afternoon wine hour and the homemade cookies at turndown service!

    One downside was the restaurant being closed for a private event, which left us without a dinner option.

    outstanding service
    comfy bed
    generous breakfast
    cozy game room
    limited dining options

    great experience but room for improvement

    The front desk staff provided outstanding service, making us feel truly welcome from the start. The comfy bed ensured a restful night's sleep in a very quiet atmosphere. Breakfast offered generous portions that exceeded our expectations during our short stay. We also enjoyed playing games in the cozy game room, which enhanced our relaxing experience.

    While our overall experience was great, the dining options felt slightly limited during our brief visit.

    cozy game room
    evening wine

    Had an amazing time enjoying wine and cheese in the evenings, and the cozy game room was a bonus! The view from the Mountain room was stunning. Their complimentary Pellegrino water each day was a lovely touch.

    fantastic breakfast
    charming decor
    restaurant noise

    I had the most peaceful stay with charming decor and a fantastic breakfast that was way too generous! The only bummer was the noise from the restaurant at night. Still, I can’t wait to return!

    Couple's Weekend Getaway with Great Details

    Had such an enjoyable time at this place, the breakfast was made to order and really hit the spot. One evening, we attended the wine and cheese hour and struck up a convo with some really friendly fellow guests, really felt like old friends.

    It was a bit pricey but for the unique experience, it was worth it.
