“Great birthday getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

We've always stayed in Santa Barbara when we visited Santa Ynez wine country, so I was looking for a change when I booked this place. It definitely won me over for location and proximity to the wineries, as well as the complimentary gourmet breakfast each morning. The rooms were modern and beautiful, and you really can't beat the peace and quiet in this area. I was a tad worried that there wouldn't be enough food options, but there is a great mexican restaurant down the road, as well as some really great places in Solvang.

“Amazing hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

Wow - we felt like royalty. The rooms are elegant, the breakfasts delicious. As noted already, the complimentary wine and hor d'oeuvres and desserts were a treat and also led to wonderful chats with other guests near the fire. A beautiful spot.

“Like New England in the wine country”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2012

This was a delightful stay! Really enjoyed the complimentary wine / hors d'oeuvers and desserts . Breakfast was very nice. Rooms clean and very spacious! Staff was great and took care of all our needs. We would stay again on our next trip to the area. Well worth the price.

“A favorite!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 20, 2012

We have had the privilege of staying at the Santa Ynez Inn more than once and it is always a wonderful experience. Great breakfasts, service and beautiful rooms. It has never disappointed. It is luxury at it's best.

“I would rather vacation here than anywhere else.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2012 via mobile

There is not much more to say, that hasn't already been said. We have stayed here more than several times and have always had an incredible experience. We are foodies and always enjoy the meals that are served. The breakfast is always extremely well prepared. Make sure you try the homemade granola mix. Their desserts are always a surprise and out of the ordinary. The rooms are gorgeous. I would love to have my bedrooms fashioned just like them. The service is top notch. For the person knocking the Inn down points for not having a valet....this is a bed and breakfast. They don't usually have valets. However, when you check in, they will always ask if you would like help with your bags. This means that they will go get them from your car. The Inn will always be our haven.
