The Inn is so charming and comfortable. We only had a one night stay and we wish we could have stayed longer. The check in process was fast and easy. Our room was completely quiet, despite being within view of a street. The drapes kept the room nice and dark so that we had a great night's sleep. We had a question about the thermostat and within 2 minutes a staff member was at our room helping. We highly recommend the Inn at Zaca Creek.

The Inn at Zaca Creek was a treat, and we will certainly be back. The room was exquisite. It was made completely of stone with a Chandelier set into a high ceiling, rather like living in a castle. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had amenities galore, as did the snack bar set up with coffee and cookies all inclusive. The tavern had delicious food and drinks, the service top-notch. We were really treated like royalty and loved every moment. This is definitely a go-to for us.

Although I communicated with the staff via email, they always replied promptly. Even though there was a minor issue, I had a very pleasant stay. There’s a restaurant right behind the property, but I couldn’t hear any noise from it, so I was able to relax in a very quiet space.
