Top Notch B&B. I stayed here with my family, ages 18 to 78, and we all had high praise for the Cheshire Cat. My 18 year old son loved the endless appetizers, my wife the quality of the Chardonnay, and my parents the attention to detail in the rooms. Hosts Suzanne and Tia took great care of us. They have...

Everything and more . Your host is well versed in how to make you feel comfortable. All amenities highest quality, Molton Brown, beautiful dressing gowns, cleanest of bathrooms and comfortable beds. Small touches like a mini bottle of wine, chocolate cookies left out everywhere. The gardens are gorgeous and breakfast was enjoyed outside which was just delightful.

We had a wonderful time at our stay here. The two Victorian houses were immaculate and charming. Our room was lovely, large and clean. Breakfast was delicious every morning and the afternoon wine and the hors d'oeuvres was something we looked forward to everyday (you almost didn't need dinner afterwards!) Super relaxing. It is technically walking distance to State Street... More

The wife and I wanted a nice romantic getaway and this place fulfilled all of our wishes. Everything was great, from the outstanding customer service to the daily wine and hor douvres. All requests were met with a friendly smile. Breakfasts were delicious. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

This immaculate inn is located on the edge of town but it's an easy walk to the main street, State street. The rooms and gardens are immaculate and whilst the cost is of staying here is relatively high, it is worth it. Breakfasts and afternoon canapés are generous as is the wine served in the late afternoon, it can be... More

I've never stayed in a B&B before because I heard creepy things. This place set the bar high for my first B&B experience. Pleasant atmosphere, great restored building, nice garden... this place has it all. The food was awesome (and there was a lot of it), and they even through a little garden happy hour daily which was unexpected and... More

We only stayed one night but would have loved to stay longer. We were on a road trip around California and were recommended this b & b. It didn't disappoint. It was very clean the room was quaint and the food was great. Staff were lovely and friendly. We'll just have to return to Santa Barbara to say again here.

We were in town for a wedding. Santa Barbara was very expensive for us, but this place was a good price, considering. This olde world Victorian home has all the little extras you don't get from standard hotels. We came out of our bathroom shower in the am to find the bed made and coffee with home made jam and...

Very well located, comfortable with a beautiful garden. Frittata and French Toast delicious. Inn keepers gracious and kind. They go out of their way to make your stay the best they can. Breakfast in bed, jacuzzi tubs and wine and hors d' oeuvres, organized wine tastings and massages. I will go back as often as I can.

We stayed at the Cheshire Cat over a President's Day weekend and enjoyed the visit. We booked the Alice room, which was well kept and had a nice balcony. However, there is a big palm tree on the property next door that disturbs the mountain view (see attached). Interestingly, this palm tree doesn't appear in the picture on the website... More
