    The pool is really small.

    The breakfast was good - fresh baked pastry’s and nice selection of cereal etc. the firepits, comfortable furniture outside, dog friendly, amazing restaurants nearby, bikes and bike trail!

    You can hear all the cars pass on the main highway. Beds were a little rough.

    Breakfast , hotel and room was great at this location! Loved that it wasn’t far from town or wineries, central to everything. Staff was great and the whole place was an aesthetic!

    Like all hospitality and hotels these days, prices were elevated for a place off the highway.

    The staff was A++++ . It has been a long time since I have stayed anywhere with such genuinely friendly and helpful staff. It makes all the difference. And i loved the book in the room!!

    The breakfast wasn't great, the bathroom floor appeared dirty, and, at $500/night, you could certainly provide higher quality toilet paper . I was sad our white lights didn't work but the good far outweighed the bad!

    The bed is insanely comfortable! The property is beautiful; torches, fire pits, and all of the white lights are a lovely touch! The bar, retro fridge, and fireplace are fantastic, and we loved our little sitting area.

    Delightful stay - owner has a lot of work to do with their staffing issues, it’s letting the place down in a big way

    The staff left a lot to be desired. They all looked completely miserable, don’t think we got a single smile or attempt at any engagement. The guy who checked us in told us not to buy anything from the gift shop because it’s a rip-off (referring to some cushions my friend wanted) it felt a bit like faulty towers on the staffing front. Despite my booking confirmation saying that check out was between 11am and 1pm, I was rudely kicked out of the room by a staff member at 11.30 - saying she would charge another $100 US per hour to the booking if we didn’t leave. I explained that my booking confirmation said between 11 and 1 for checkout, and she said it only if you pay more that you can have later than 11. This should be much much clearer on your booking confirmations.

    The property itself is gorgeous. Such a gorgeous place to relax in the sun and enjoy the beautiful surrounds of the Santa Barbara wine country. The rooms are beautifully curated and homely, and the breakfast was good.

    Well priced for the aesthetic and location - would try a second stay.

    The staff on arrival (6:30 p.m. PT) was less than welcoming, but the staff at check out was perfection; not a great first impression but was salvaged by the check out team. The bulbs used in the "dimmable" bedside lamps were not dimmable, so the lighting was a significant challenge - LEDs flicker when installed in dimmable fixtures - ugh.

    Location is super convenient to several local towns - the property itself incredibly charming and beautifully designed; super comfy beds. The gardens are tranquil and thoughtfully laid out so you can have several groups each with private areas. Really nice aesthetic - and LOVE the hammocks!!

    We loved the garden space, many cozy sitting spaces, the artistic touches and the decor which was both modern but in keeping with the Spanish style of the area. The bed was super comfy!

    Would be nice to have a crosswalk over to the bike path since traffic on the street is steady and pretty fast.

    The grounds are glorious.... giant trees, great lounge furniture, lovely pool area, and rolling hills to look at! My room was comfy and very cute.
