After reading some of the negative reviews, I had some trepidation over what I'd gotten us into. However, my fears were allayed from the moment we arrived. We had the Van Gogh room and it was fabulous. The staff, including and especially the manager, Tom, were super friendly and very accomodating.
As others have stated, the breakfasts ...

Beware! This place is a total scam! It cost up $300 and we did not even get to stay there. The deposit they require for the room is the full amount of one night’s stay… thus the $300. However we had to reschedule our stay due to an emergency, I called 5 days before our stay and because of their “cancelation policy” they keep ...

The grounds and the room were beautiful and comfortable and the staff was friendly. Also, the breakfast was very good with a variety of fresh ingredients. Too many negative points for us to recommend it to others:
The walls are very thin and we could hear our neighbors music. The courtyard and entryway lights were left on brightly all night and we ...

My husband and myself found this beautiful place in the woods online, and have always enjoyed Santa Cruz. We could not wait to book it for the end of the year weekend, get away. We arrived at the Inn about 2:30pm on Sat. December 29th and from the minute we stepped out of the car it was gorgeous, the waterfall and the old water wheel, the gazebo ...

Based on the other reviews, I guess we really lucked out with our room! We stayed in the "Artist's Cottage" upstairs and had a great experience. The room was adorable and clean, and my flight came in really late but the young woman at the front desk was sweet anyway and even came back upstairs to give us a lighter for our fire log. ...

to explain ANY positive experiences at this B&B--despite negative reviews (I'll listen next time)
my wife & I endured a night at this overpriced, under-maintained, noisy, ill-serviced excuse of a
"B & B".

An expensive mistake, one which I hope to spare others who might be considering this as a "lodging of choice" during their stay in Santa Cruz--

What a waste...

My wife & I have stayed in several Santa Cruz-Monterey Bay area B & Bs over the years; this one has got to be the worst. Glancing over the dismal accounts of what passes for cleanliness (closet, behind-the-bed wall stank of mold--EXTREME mold!

Walls ARE paper thin, bedding is pilled, worn polyester everything, road noise (even late at ...

that is where the quaintness ends.

My GF & I read some of the write-ups on this place and scheduled a weekend getaway.
Long and short, I wish we'd read the OTHER reviews!

If there are any nice rooms in this dump (that don't look like they've been decorated with Flea Market left-overs,) we sure didn't see them.

Our room overlooked the river and was very peaceful. The bed was overstuffed with wonderful down comforters. We especially enjoyed the complimentary happy hour with tasty appetizers and full course breakfast with delicious coffee. Some rooms might be a bit noisy as the street the Inn is located is a major thoroughfare for Santa Cruz. Would definately stay there again!
