Loved it!

This was a beautiful place! I wished we could have tried the restaurant but sadly it was closed when we were staying there but we had a really good time at the bar. Juan was excellent & everyone working there were great. The hotel was super comfortable and I love how it looked like a cave inside our room. Totally recommend!
Tracy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love the deep soaking tubs with rain shower head!

Love the deep soaking tub! Very comfortable bed, clean and very quiet at this quaint inn. Super big room with a high ceiling. Surrounded by stone walls. Easy check-in at The Tavern restaurant.
Donna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Welcoming, comfortable, & excellent tavern

Quaint roadside tavern/inn with exceptional service and food. The room was very comfortable, felt private and attention was given to making sure we had everything we needed. Like days forgotten, I loved that they called us the day of check in to welcome us, provide check in information, and see if there was anything special we needed. It reminded us of an old family run country roadside inn and tavern except the service, food, & beer/wine selection were all 5-star. We would go back to the Inn at Zaca in a second.

The Inn at Zaca Creek

Our one night stay at the Inn at Zaca creek was nice. The room was extremely clean and had everything we needed. My only complaint was the memory foam bed. I have a bad back and it killed me in the morning. Other than that I would highly recommend.
William, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The stonework in the rooms is very compelling. Rooms are clean and the staff is responsive. My biggest complaint was with the bed itself. It was hollowed out and lumpy. And if you can't sleep, the rest doesn't matter!
Jonathan, 1-night trip

Absolutely gorgeous-Will return!

Wow! I’m so glad we ended up picking this location.We debated on staying closer in Solvang(7 min drive- not bad at all) but couldn’t resist after seeing the pictures-I’m glad we did! This location is beyond beautiful! The rooms are exactly as pictured! And the pool-stunning & relaxing!My husband & I took our teens & they loved it. The place thought of everything,toiletries,slippers,robes,Nespresso, water,snacks! Yes, they don’t have a “front desk” but personally besides us needing to switch towels out & ice, there wasn’t a need for one. We caught a worker & asked for both & he assisted us-he was friendly.We only stood 2nights so turnover service wasn’t important for us. And yes, it’s right alongside the freeway but that was no bother at all! It wasn’t noisy whatsoever.Checkin-we did need to go in, where we were given a code (quick & easy). Lots of parking avail.There are 6 rooms avail,so it’s very quiet & private. Feedback (nothing major):Since we did go with teens, they do require more privacy while showering so the “open shower” prevented us from using the toilet while they showered at same time if needed.The coffee “bar” limited our space in the bathroom (on sink) & I personally don’t place or take any food/drinks into the bathroom area.The bathroom is only place w/mirrors (above sink and a body mirror), so getting ready made the bathroom crowded.I followed directions for direct tv, but only got 1 channel (could’ve just been us) but we didn’t spend much time watching TV.

Beautiful property, we love our room option. We would love to stay in this property again soon and hope that the pool will be open/ available!!
Robelle, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location and nice spacious rooms. Would be better if it had more service given there is no store around to get water or breakfast. Restaurant has a good menu and the food is great but not always open. Beautiful property and grounds but pool was closed and there are no seating areas outside of you want to enjoy the gardens
