I loved this place. The location was very walkable, just next to the beach and Santa Barbara old town. The room was big and extraordinarily clean. The beds were comfortable. Also, the option of free parking is very handy as street parking can be expensive around. Breakfast was good... I will definitely stay here if I visit Santa Barbara again.

From the moment we arrived we were treated like one of the family. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The ranch is amazing with lovely horses and character touches fitting with the ranch lifestyle. The meals were delicious and wholesome served with a smile. They even put a bottle of wine in our room for my 60th birthday. The jacuzzi was just what we needed after a great horse ride. Love this place

    We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

    The property is in a safe area of Santa Barbara and was in fact the cheapest in the area hence us booking it as we were only staying in the city for 1 night. The room was a good enough size for the two of us and fairly comfortable. Not bad for a short stay.
