LOVED our time here! It felt like the secret garden. So quaint and you could really feel the history. The grounds were beautiful and we loved all the sitting areas outside to hang out and relax. Really loved the fire pit! Only complaint is I am very sensitive to mold and there were some signs of water damage in the bathroom- staining on the floors and rippling on the walls. That concerned me. Other than that- we loved every second!!

Listing said in-room microwave and in-room refrigerator, as well as air conditioning (which obviously implies in the room). None of these were true and the room was just slightly larger than the queen bed in it. Also, the place reeked of mold. However, the proprietor immediately and cheerfully refunded our entire 2-night cost, which earned a couple more stars here than I would have given it. And to be fair, it really is a beautiful property, with a majestic main house and lots of lush greenery, gazebos, etc. The "Cottage" unit here needs to go back to being a storage shed, though! Caveat emptor, folks.

Good communication with the staff and the space had a lot of character. Unfortunately, when I tried to take a shower in the morning there was no hot water.

Best Place for a Stay in Nipomo
Our stay was in the Carriage House, which was a room sperate from the main house.The room was spacious. Overall the grounds are beautiful and quiet. The only disappointment was as advertised as a bed and breakfast the breakfast was a disappointment from our stays at other B&B.

Love the old house and the grounds! Didn’t like that my bathroom was down the hall and served as the access point for the laundry room, and the toilet leaked. The kitchen appliances mention as “in room” are downstairs in the communal kitchen, not in the room. They provide a nice breakfast, good coffee and a selection of teas, fruit and a bath robe. Nearby Mother Shuckers restaurant was very good.
