My Girlfriend and I stayed two nights and were completely relaxed when we checked out. The soap making class was fun and educational, and we enjoyed a massage as well. The snacks and teas are all delicious. The bed was a bit low for older folks, but very comfortable. I don’t usually carry cash, and have trouble with Venmo, so tipping has been complicated, but that’s just a “me” thing ( don’t worry guys, I haven’t forgotten you)

Lovely Peaceful Property
Lovely property, actually better in person! Friendly hospitable & accomodating staff. Arrival and registration was tedious and time consuming. We were prompted upon arrival to complete breakfast menu selections. I understood breakfast was included in with the room price, therefore, very surprised to get billed significant added amount for breakfast. Understood that butter and other condiments could be chosen at added cost.

The room and property were nice but not like it’s shown online/IG. The garden was available for harvest but not well labeled or abundant enough. Staff were polite but not always approachable. The complimentary activities were minimal and for the price paid and destination fees, more could be provided, ie: bath kits/night versus one per stay. Also not advertised are the train tracks a block away so definitely not a good place for someone who is a light sleeper.

The hotel canceled my stay before I arrived and still charged me. It’s been difficult trying to get my refund as no one can get a hold of manager.

Had the best stay here. It’s an oasis and the little touches like the delicious local coffee, wonderful bath products and comfortable bed were really nice. Only two things that were not perfect: they only offer room service after 4 night stay. One reason I like a hotel over an air bb is so I feel like the room is fresh and cleaned when I get back at end of day. Also, was a bit noisy one afternoon - there was a kid on a loud motorbike going around in loops right next the property for an hour in the evening while we were sitting in our outdoor deck area. I realize it’s not the hotels fault but it was def ruining the peaceful mood and worth mentioning. Other than that it was such a wonderful experience. The common room with healthy snacks was a nice touch. There was always parking available and the quality of the linens was nice.

Lovely stay
Even though you can tell there are a few opportunities: water damage around tub, floor tiles need grouting,etc; none of these took away from the fact that this was a little slice away from the busy of North County life. The botanicals for the bath were lovely. The tea and flowers waiting in the room were beautiful. They offer local quality coffee not freeze dried packs. The breakfast options were good and so tasty! And came in reusable containers and the cutest basket.

Overall happy gal
I love the concept.. as a yoga teacher. Neighbors have Super loud kids… and that’s cool .. but disables “ romance.” Open a closet … walled off sloppy style , no connection on floor casings/ door moldings .. just cheapen how a hotel room of this price should be finished. No couples massage space without a door being open to the outside? It was 46 degrees … no! The staff was wonderful, the grounds are beautiful , our bath was super… the tea and chocolates and massage oil heart … so special … but get a good contractor in there and insulate against the neighbor kids … it’s their house next door so you can’t move them :)
