We booked the romance package for my husband's birthday and the manager gaciously accepted our request for an extra half hour massage for my husband in exchange for the roses included in the package. Well, it all went downhill from there.
1. Even thought the room included with the package was listed as one of the best rooms ($325/nite), the room was in dire need of maintenance (peeling wallpaper, cobwebs on every corner, dirty carpet, smelly pillows and comforter, thick layer of dust and cobwebs on heater vent, dilapidated doors to deck, extremely weather beatened deck furniture; spraying water on faucet (no washer), the list goes on and on..........

2. The masseuse was inexperienced and lacked the skills to give a good thorough deep tissue massage.

3. The dinner was good but was delivered cold and we were never given the wine pairing that was supposedly included with dinner. The worst offense was smelling the dirty damp carpet during the entire dinner.

4. Breakfast came with one piece of toasted sourdough bread with a greasy omelette. After a second request, we were given some grapes and strawberries.

All in all, the inn itself is beautiful with close proximity to a lot of fun outdoor activities (hiking, biking, etc.) and the chocolate cake for dessert was excellent, but I doubt that I will stay there again nor recommend it to any of my friends.

I was worried when I read the previous reviews here. But we came to stay at Mt. Home Inn with out of town guests this past weekend.

Our rooms were lovely and cozy, with FANTASTIC bedding including the best pillows ever (including a body pillow, which is a huge treat for me). Rustic but very comfortable. We enjoyed a WONDERFUL breakfast out on the deck which was delicious and huge! The service was excellent, it was all very comfortable and nice. We would absolutely go back.

Update to my review for the Mountain Home Inn in Mill Valley, California - The manager, Justin Flake, contacted me after reading this review and offered my money back and a free return visit. He seemed genuinely interested in my opinion about how the inn could improve.

Original review:

Where to start? We found the inn when we did a search for "romantic bed and breakfasts" when we planned a getaway for our 25th anniversary. We booked one of their "superior" rooms for well over $300/night (including the tax). Here's what went wrong:

1. The in-room CD player mentioned on their web page was just a bedside radio with CD which played very poorly, so we couldn't enjoy the romantic music we'd brought(in our first room; more on that later).

2. My husband had specifically asked if the jacuzzi tub in our room was large enough for two, and was told it was. Guess what? It was a one-person jacuzzi.

3. Because of the location of the faucets, the only way to fill the tub was to stand inside the tub. The valves that changed the water flow from tub to shower didn't work well - there were frequent drips. The configuration of the tubs/showers was very poorly planned.

4. We noticed a leak from the base of our toilet to a puddle in the middle of the bathroom floor. Yup, water was leaking out from under the toilet. The next morning we asked to change rooms, and were moved to a room without a leaky toilet but with similar shower issues. Upon checkout, we asked if consideration could be given for this very unpleasant experience, and we were given a 20% break on the second night's lodging.

5. We'd been shown a sitting room for guests' use where tea and hot cider were available. Imagine our surprise when the area held a business seminar all day on the Saturday we were there, not only preventing us from enjoying the space, but also dominating the sound environment of the entire inn. Beverages were not available in the room for 24 hours.

6. The food was OK. Breakfasts were a bit on the skimpy side. For instance, the "seasonal fruit" on two of our breakfasts was half a banana.

7. The staff was not warm and friendly, as one expects at a bed and breakfast. We didn't feel well cared for or pampered.

Despite the price, these are NOT luxurious accommodations. The location is breathtaking; the inn is not. We certainly didn't arrive in a frame of mind to find fault with Mountain Home Inn. We couldn't help it; there was fault to be found every time we turned around.

I stayed here in December for my B-Day and had a great meal, great service and an amazing sleep. I stayed in room #6 with a jacuzzi, fireplace and king bed. Soo comfortable especially going to sleep after a big tub (me AND my partner) with a fire roaring!
Lots of updates since my last stay 3 years ago. Much better.. loved the hike.
