Everything about this property is stellar. It is beautiful and comfortable. If you bring your dogs, oh my, there is plenty of space for their crates. Had a lovely stay.
Great location and nice spacious rooms. Would be better if it had more service given there is no store around to get water or breakfast. Restaurant has a good menu and the food is great but not always open. Beautiful property and grounds but pool was closed and there are no seating areas outside of you want to enjoy the gardens
Had a nice stay at the Inn at Zaca Creek. Room was spacious and well-appointed. Only issue was noise - I think it was the guest next door who was talking very loud at midnight and 7am but they do have earplugs in the room (Just didn't find them till the next day). Would recommend the hotel still!
Very cozy stay at a charming property. The property adjoins the Tavern at Zaca Creek where we had a wonderful dinner. Parking is easy, as is access to the property. The surroundings are wonderful. What can go wrong? Nothing. Nothing at all.
We LOVE staying at the Inn and enjoying the Tavern. To have these two incredible venues within the same property is a gift. We just wish we made it to the area more often where we could take advantage of the Zaca Creek Inn and Tavern. Steve and his crew are a well oiled machine that provides excellent service in a unique setting.
Stayed 1 night while in town for show at Chumash Casino with my sister and we LOVED our stay. Very cute and clean hotel with comfortable rooms. Will definitely be staying again in the future and do recommend!
The property grounds were very beautiful with a nice restaurant on site. They have a pool but it was closed during our stay. Our room was spacious with a wonderful large walk-in shower. Complimentary snacks, water, tea, and coffee were available in the room. The down side is the rooms are not noise proof. The guests next to us were loud and continued their conversations until after 2:00 AM! Very frustrating because check-out time is at 11:00Am. Also, there is a highway nearby, so if you prefer quiet try to get a room away from the highway.
The Inn is superlative! Beautifully appointed and unique rooms with many thoughtful touches and amenities. I love the stone and wood design, and every aspect of the space is planned with comfort and ease in mind. I am just passing through town, but this could easily be home base for the exploration of ol’ local wineries and beaches. Really a gem, spotless, immaculate, and a joy to encounter after a long day of travel!
