We thank you for your very kind review and are very happy that you found us! We enjoyed visiting with you and your wife. As to the darkness of the house, unfortunately being surrounded by Redwoods doesn't help, but during the summer months it is nice to have natural a/c. The interior of the house was paneled with first growth... More

Fairview Manor (Gael and Jack proprietors) is built in the midst of towering redwoods with a serene path out the back where one may meander after returning from the days activities. The building was built in the 1920's of local redwood. Quaint appointments. It's an easy drive To Felton to take the train through the red woods to Santa Cruz.... More

This is the best place in the area! I have gone to an annual event near Felton for many years and I have stayed in almost every place on highway nine from Felton to Boulder Creek. I can say that Gael runs the best place around. We stayed there for the second time this year and we were saying "This... More

Staying at Fairview Manor is like staying with a favorite relative - one who happens to make the most outstanding breakfasts you've ever eaten! We stayed with Gael and Jack for 3 nights, and didn't want to go home when it was time to check out. They were so warm and friendly and incredibly accommodating... Their delicious & unique breakfasts... More

We actually stayed with Jack and Gael in July 2008. I can't believe I didn't write a review then! Our family of 5 and our relatives' family of 4 took over the whole place! We ate Jack's fabulous cooking and Gael was the most accommodating and pleasant hostess. She stocked the fridge with juice for the kids, and wine kept... More

We just left Fairview Manor after a two-night stay. Writing this on my BlackBerry. A WONDERFUL B&B! We've found the place to stay when visiting the UC Santa Cruz son. Gael and Jack (and the dogs) made us feel right at home. Beautiful grounds, lovely room, yummy breakfast, wine and cheese in the evening, etc.--all at a great price. The... More

The weekend before we arrived there had been a wedding with reception and everyone staying at the Inn. So, it is a romantic place to be. The owners, Jack and Gail, are wonderful hosts.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The House was built in 1923 as a summers home for cousins of the Wilder Family. The Carriage House (now used as a barn) was part of the old Ben Lomond Hotel that was burned down around 1915. Its owner was Fred Cody (cousin of Buffalo Bill Cody). The house was converted to a Bed and Breakfast in 1983. My mother bought the B&B in 1986 and it has been run by the Glasson family ever since. There are five bedrooms, all with private bathrooms. Four of the rooms can be used as two bedroom suites. The River Rock fireplace in the Great Room was made from the rocks found around the San Lorenzo River, which runs through the lower end of the three acre property. The back deck overlooks the river and the great mass of trees. Blackberries line the walkway and in September they are ripe for picking. The redwood grove boasts of a pond leftover from the Hotel and a waterfall has been added. Strolling through the property you will notice many areas available for conversation or merely relaxing. ... more   less
