This place is a gem, the welcome was just what we needed after a long flight and drive from LA - we arrived later than the Inn's reception opening hours and the Inn Keeper was very accomodating. The rooms was beautiful, light, airy and very clean. Breakfast was plentiful and there was a wide variety of foods. The garden is... more

My partner and I stayed at The Cheshire Cat for one night on our way down the Pacific coast. The building is a very picturesque one, very well maintained and with a small but well manicured garden. We stayed in the Catarpillar room, which was a bit floral for my tastes, but was clean and smart and had a fantastic... more

Our second trip to Cheshire Cat - this time with the kids. We had a cottage across the street from the main house which was very roomy, clean and pretty reasonably priced. Had a hot tub in the backyard which we didn't get to use. Nice location, close to the downtown area off State Street. The staff were helpful and... more

The little touches were quite welcome, too, especially since the price was about the same as most motels in the area. (We booked a King sized room with a dinner package at Bouchon.) They... more

We are not B&B people but the great reviews on this site convinced me to be adventurous and book with the inn. The inn seemed very pricey but I found availability in the least expensive room and... more

This Inn is an amazing place to stay in the beautiful city of Santa Barbara. Beautiful rooms. We stayed in the Queen of Hearts room and loved soaking in the jacuzzi every night. The decor was tasteful and the bed was firm and comfortable. Best room I've stayed in period! The staff was wonderfully helpful and very genuine. The breakfast... more

We just returned from a weeklong vacation in California as we traveled from L.A. to San Francisco. One of our best stops was Santa Barbara -- what a paradise! We stayed at the Cheshire Cat Inn and couldn't have had a better experience at this wonderful property. Here's my amateur review: Property: Splendid turn of the century house in downtown... more
