I loved this place! Wish I could’ve stayed for a week. Breakfast was served to my private patio, and it was delicious. The Jacuzzi hot tub on the patio was such a treat. I will definitely come back when I’m in Santa Barbara.

8/10 Very good

Host was very helpful with suggestions for activities. Breakfast was as excellent. Prefer a firm mattress, Meadowlark room mattress to soft for me.

Dominique was great and responsive. Property and cottages are very old and in need of repair, but overall a pleasant experience.

A beautiful property. Our room, Bobwhite, while small, was comfortable for the two of us. Breakfast in the garden was outstanding! Owner and staff did an excellent job. I would stay there again and recommend it.

Anniversary vacation
We loved our room, very clean & quaint and the bed was very comfortable. The room was clean and nice for an overnight stay. I would have liked bars in the bathtub ti make it safer getting in & out of the tub.

I loved everything about this beautiful house and its gardens. Dominique was an amazing host!!

10/10 Exceptional

A secret treasure!
The accommodations are quaint, charming, and comfortable. Some family members were in the main house and other family units were in cottages. It was perfect for our needs. We felt at home and welcomed. The breakfast was gourmet faire and absolutely delicious and plentiful.

Lovely stuff, yummy croissant and fresh orange juice for breakfast. Sorry for mess we’ve done though.🙈🙈
Volodymyr, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Dominique and her staff are friendly and welcoming. The Secret Garden has a feel of staying at a friends home. Breakfasts are delicious, and location is very convienent to most of what Santa Barbara has to offer, a great and quiet walking neighborhood too. It is important to note there is a sweet cat named Peanut living there, but if you have allergies, be aware!
Sam, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Charming
Charming bed and breakfast. Owner was very welcoming and breakfast excellent. Our only complaint was a broken window shade which resulted in a warm room on a hot day. However, the air conditioning was able to control the temperature, once turned on.
