Loved this experience
Our house was beautiful as expected as were the yards. We accommodated 18 people in eight bedrooms, each with en suite facilities. The host was extremely gracious and responsive. Everyone kept thanking me for the experience. Fabulous neighborhood for walking all around.

Wedding stay!
We stayed here for a couple days with our family to get married at the Santa Barbara courthouse! It was the perfect place. We walked to the courthouse (took less than 10 min) for our ceremony and then hungout at the house for the rest of the day. Perfect place to relax with loved ones! We had 2 kids with us who are under 10, and they loved the property. Would highly recommend!

This inn is beautiful. The pictures are accurate and it is just lovely. This nor your typical VRBO, it is an event inn and the hosts are very willing to sell catered food. If you are looking to book adults to share the rooms are all lovely and the 15 of us were very happy.

A lovely weekend!
I would absolutely recommend this rental for your stay! The house was a huge hit! Since it is a b+b we were able to do the full buyout and it was so perfect for a large group. Each room has a private bathroom and the house had plenty of space to gather. From the spacious living room, dining area and back patio it fit all our needs for a weekend in Santa Barbara!

April 4-7, 2024 Family wedding
The property and old house are beautiful, though carpets and kitchen floor are a little shabby. We asked to have the carpets vacuumed, and Umberto made that happen. He was very accommodating, allowing us to put some things on the deck before we checked in However, I think his cleaning staff and he were not in agreement. It was my understanding that check-out was at 11 am - its tough to get 15 people out the night after a wedding - and Lupita was quite nasty about it. Overall, the property is lovely and was a wonderful gathering spot.

Perfect wedding weekend
We booked a three day weekend for our wedding. Kristine, the manager, was amazing and very responsive. We had a wifi challenge, and they were there immediately to trouble shoot. She was so helpful with recommending rental companies and meeting us to tour before. The space was a great size - we had 11 people and didn't at all feel crampt or crowded. Each room was roomy, with great private bathrooms. Mindful that there are a lot of stairs - we ended up putting my Grandmother off site due to her knees - but it worked out well. Ample parking. The Inn has lots of amazing little plates and decorations, many of which from other weddings, that were so cute. We used a few - including a cake stand. It was so nice to feel like there were back-ups of items, and little odds and ends that we ended up using as part of our decor. One thing to note is that there is now astroturf in the backyard, which is one thing new since the photos listed, but we think made for better photos during our wedding.

Cute Victorian style home
This place is perfect for a big family / large group gathering. You get plenty of space to hang out both indoor and outdoor. The rooms are nicely divided, and all rooms come with its own full bath, so it gives you plenty of privacy as well. We had a wonderful stay...walking distance to downtown was another big plus. Would definitely recommend this place!

Beautiful well-appointed house.
We lacked for nothing! The house is beautifully & comfortably appointed, and the best stocked house ever - we lacked for nothing! Owner & property manager were eager to assist, and always available to answer questions. The location is an easy walk to restaurants, cafes, and the Botanical park. We'll be back!
