Great little property and hidden gem! Very peaceful vibe, and nice touches with healthy breakfast and sustainable amenities... I enjoyed my stay and will come back again!

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.
Amazing little boutique with a friendly staff and an inviting ambiance!

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.

The breakfast was very good and plentiful. They did not service the room on the second day, which was ok, but strange. The shower was terrible.
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.
Great location to town, stellar customer service & very well executed. A gem of a hideaway!

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 :)
Had a delightful getaway weekend with my girlfriend. The service is top notch - very lovely management. We took advantage of the complimentary honey tasting and purchased the candle making workshop, both of which were really fun experiences. The room was amazing - the management clearly spends a lot of time considering all details to make for a positive experience. Will certainly be back!
This little resort is tucked away and so beautiful and charming. They grow all their own herbs in a lovely garden environment around the entire property. They do a great job of being very environmentally conscience at the same time providing beautiful and comfortable amenities. The entire staff are so friendly and professional. I would highly recommend staying here!!

Would stay again…
Overall the property was very nice. The staff is attentive and pleasant. I would definitely recommend for a weekend getaway or longer. The only problem is parking, and I think they would admit that. There is only room for one vehicle per room, and that may be a stretch. You are able to park at a local park a short walk away. Please, don’t let this be the reason why you don’t book. Like I said in the title of this review…I would stay again!
