Great experience! All staff was friendly, ready to help. We are at Il Vigneto and had a wondeful dinner. Nothing to complain about at all. Great 'Staycation' for a local, or week away for those coming form out of town.

The room and amenities were beautiful and clean! My one complaint was that it is so very noisy. We were woken up by staff and guests each day starting between 630-730. We stayed 4 nights and this was everyday. We were also on the 1st floor next to the staff only rooms, which was probably the reason for that.

The cabin was wonderful. Wish I had known more about it first . Next time I will bring coffee and food. The town didn't have many places to eat, etc. But we were so close to Santa Cruz that it didn't matter. It's a great place for young families. There is no air condition in cabin but the nights were cool and we were comfortable.

Loved the grounds, it was so clean and beautiful and because it's fall, everywhere had pumpkins and was so festive! Absolutely enchanting drive in. The staff was wonderful and happily answered any questions I had. I bought the local beer and snacks package and was already in my cabin when I arrived.
The room was very clean and even had electric blanket. The bathrooms were communal, but loved that they had a nice hot shower stocked with all amenities, sauna and a laundry room. I was lucky and...

Our room was beautifully decorated, very comfortable, and just all around delightful. We LOVED our in room tub that was plenty big enough for two! Every day we came "home" to crisp towels and robes, freshly baked cookies, and fresh water/drinks all set in our room. The breakfast provided every morning was homemade and delicious! My only complaint is that the bed was a little hard to get out of because it is set down in a boat and I am 8 months pregnant! Only a potential problem... We cant wait...

We had a great stay with no problems. The room was fresh and clean upon arrival and the bed was really comfortable. Free wi-fi was available. A simple breakfast of bagels and coffee/tea was provided in the morning and Calvin (?) was extremely helpful and friendly. It was easy to find the hotel and parking was in an adjacent lot. Bathroom was clean with good amenities. Check in/out was easy and we would stay there again in the future.
