We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely Victorian house and cottages in a garden setting in beautiful downtown Santa Barbara. What makes it even more unique is that Hailey, the General Manager, and the entire staff are knowledgeable in all aspects of hospitality for people having weddings, special reunions or just an overnight stay. The welcome is top notch, as are the gourmet breakfasts and room service. We would love to return!
