I selfishly didn't want to post a review because I would rather keep it our secret, but I can't. Our fifth stay at ForFriends Inn and it just keeps getting better! All the rooms are wonderful and the Inn Keepers Jim and Debbie are the perfect hosts. From Debbie's breakfast and Jim's knowledge of the valley and super fun happy...

We chose this inn based on all the wonderful reviews, and they are so true: Jim, Debbie, and Smitty are the best! This was our first time at the inn, and to the Santa Ynez area, and I'm sure it will now become a yearly destination for us. We stayed in the Consilience room and appreciated the large room/spacious closet/fantastic...

This is one of the most enjoyable places to visit for us. This was our 3rd time visiting Jim and Debbie at the Inn. They are incredible hosts, with a little help from their dog, Smitty.
The rooms are incredibly spacious and very clean. The happy hours are not to be missed, with Jim playing guitar.
The breakfast is top...

Sometimes when vacation trip itineraries unexpectedly change, good things can happen!
My wife and I were recently on a trip from L.A. up the coast to San Francisco and our mid-week itinerary had to be changed because of all the fires. When we found out about the change, we were with friends who said "OK - then let's go to...

We're blessed to get up to ForFriends Inn about twice a year. It's always wonderful returning to wine country, but it's equally as nice to spend time with Jim, Debbie, & Smitty! ForFriends Inn is perfect for a relaxing, laid back getaway. There's not one thing they can improve on. From Debbie's breakfast, to appetizers at happy hour, to hanging...

After a three hour car ride on Friday, my wife and I arrived to a warm greeting during happy hour. Our hosts introduced themselves and the rest of the couples who were enjoying snacks, wine and of course, Jim’s great music. After putting our bags in our lovely room (Sunstone Tower), we joined happy hour again before heading out to...

Thanks SO much for your fabulous 5-star review! We're so happy that we helped make your getaway so special. Speaking of, isn't it great to pull up to our Happy Hour after a long drive through LA traffic and be greeted by smiling faces, wonderful wine and Debbie's homemade appetizers? We're glad you got to experience that and all the...

We celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary at Forfriends B&B. Little did we know how fast paced our life had been, until we stayed here. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed to a glass of wine, soft comfortable chairs, friendly guests, owners, and their dog (Smitty?) Our room decor was elegant, with a king size bed and large...

Hi Dale,
One thing we're most proud of is all of the anniversaries we've been honored to play a small part in. Forty-one years of marriage is a wonderful achievement. Folks like you two are an inspiration to us trying to catch up (Debbie and I will be married 30 years this October).
Isn't it great that you don't have...

We stay in B&Bs often and this inn is by far, the best yet. We couldn't have asked for better hosts who gave great advice on wineries and restaurants to visit. Meeting people at the Friday and Saturday wine tasting/sing alongs was so much fun. Thank you so much for making our weekend so memorable. We can't wait to bring...

See you soon!
Jim, Debbie. . . and Smitty

Hi Danielle,
Thanks a million for your kind words and your 5-star review! We couldn't agree more about being surrounded by "amazing people." Every day we meet and socialize with some of the most interesting and kind folks in the world (as you know, they come from EVERYWHERE). It's the best part of being an innkeeper.
See you soon!
Jim,...

“I would recommend spending the few extra bucks for an upgrade to Room #1 - really nice - very spacious and that has a Victorian feel to it.”

“Sunstone Tower is my first choice, Carmichael Cottage 2nd...both are awesome. Sunstone is larger and has a loft. Both are quiet.”
