She had been here before but it was my first time and I can't say enough good things about it. Deanna and Cab clearly love their place and share it freely. We did the farm tour which was very inspirational and informative for wannabe gardeners like us! I feel inspired. We had fresh eggs and fresh picks from the garden at every meal. Beautiful views and so relaxing to just sit out in nature. Don't miss the stars at night and do not miss getting the fried chicken basket! We definitely will return, I think it needs to at least be a yearly event!

We had such a wonderful experience here and it makes an amazing retreat for when you need a place…read moreto slow down from the hustle and bustle of life. Our cozy cottage was clean with a great view of the garden and ocean. The bed is very comfortable and the provided space heater helped kept us warm at night. Only con I have to say is the pillows were very flat so we had to sleep with both pillows on top of each other for more support. I love that it had a full kitchen so you can cook delicious meals with fresh ingredients such as the daily delivered eggs straight from the chickens and greens you pick from the garden. If you want a break from cooking or want a meal prepped for when you arrive, you can add in the option of a dinner or picnic basket to your reservation as well. For the activities such as chicken chat and goat gab we weren't able to attend; it was raining pretty heavily during our stay so we opted to stay indoors and enjoy the cozy cabin. For the moments where the rain would stop, it was nice to explore the land, making stops by the bunnies and chickens with our dogs. Definitely planing on coming back! Would love to experience Mar Visita during the spring or summer!

TL;DR: Rumsey House was an Inn-ferno with horrendous hospitality…read more The Innkeeper double booked our room so we agreed to make do on folding beds. Unfortunately, the advertised "air conditioning" consisted of poorly functioning wall units and our group of four were forced to leave the property in the middle of the night when the power went out (apparently a common occurrence) and the temperature in our room climbed from 90 degrees (with AC and fans on!) to +100. We were originally a party of six and the two that made it through the night reported that the power and water were out through the entire stay. We expected an apology (and maybe a refund) from the Innkeeper, but instead received a torrent of personal attacks, defensive denials, and failure to take responsibility. I'll let the email exchange speak for itself in the screenshots to demonstrate how poorly she handled the situation. (And to save her the time of refuting this review as she did all the others with false claims that there was no record of the guest or they don't have a cobweb, cat, or cleanliness problem, because oh yes, they sure do!) Extreme heat and questionable cleanliness may be tolerable for some guests at this price point, but the Innkeeper's reaction is reason alone to avoid Rumsey House at all costs. Pay attention to the one star reviews.

Our favorite sanctuary when we wish to get away from city living…read more Every year we make it a point to make this our annual outing. With the windows open, a cool breeze at night makes it relaxing to fall asleep to. In the morning you wake up to nature's beauty of humming birds, birds, chickens, ducks, and more which sweetens my life as I am reminded of my summers reading books such as A Girl of the Limberlost or Anne of Avonlea. Our room is cozy with an attached comfort room (restroom). A window seat with a great view overlooking mountains and the lush property. Our host has always been accommodating and wonderful. Breakfast is another special treat! Last occasion there was coffee cake and fresh picked eggs. Today we enjoyed a delicious salad made of local tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, & home harvested pine nuts, fresh picked eggs and cheese, and a peach clafouti. We've been to many bed and breakfasts and the Rumsey House has always been one that we make most of our greatest lasting memories with.

My only star off is for the sheets cleanliness - there were stains on the duvet cover (I saw two) and not sure if its lack of cleaning or just permanent stains. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay!

We recently booked Cottage Grove through Airbnb. Unfortunately, my husband made a mistake with the…read moredates, and within 2 hours of booking he called the hotel to cancel. They refused, citing the 7-day policy, but agreed to move the reservation to October. Here's where things got messy: because the change was done directly with the property, Airbnb never reflected the updated dates, THE OWNERSHIP IS SUPPOSED TO UPDATE AIRBNB ABOUT THEIR OCCUPANCY. My husband spoke with Lisa, who confirmed she adjusted it in their system. Now, due to unforeseen circumstances, we need to cancel our October stay -- and suddenly, they're claiming they "can't" cancel on their end, only Airbnb can. But Airbnb has no record of the change, since it was never updated. So which is it? They could change the reservation before, but now they can't? It feels dishonest and manipulative. Instead of working with us, they've left us in limbo, passing blame back and forth. The experience has been frustrating, confusing, and frankly, unfair. I HEARD OWNERSHIP CHANGED AND THE NEW OWNER IS A PIECE OF WORK AND TERRIBLE... Bottom line: they clearly have the ability to alter reservations when it suits them, but refuse to help when it doesn't. Greedy, rude, and unprofessional. Do not stay here.

Food was so-so, indoor hot tub didn't work properly and was running most of the night. Overall, it wasn't a good experience for the hefty price tag we payed. Update: The owner of Avalon, Hilary, has contacted me a couple of days ago, expressing sincere concern about our disappointing stay at her B&B back in April 2007. It is a good sign that she is taking reviews and opinions about her business serious, as every competent business owner should. I attribute the somewhat mediocre experience to her absence and I am sure that our experience would have been different if the family would not have been out of town during our visit. I have to echo the two other posters in regards to the rooms and surroundings of the Avalon Bed & Breakfast. The room we stayed in was in impeccable condition, the picturesque surroundings and tranquility we got to enjoy on the patio were perfect, except for the above mentioned problems. That's the sole reason I can't give it 5 stars. However, Hilary has since offered us a free night at her establishment, which is a nice way of trying to remedy our experience. It shows she truly does care about her guests and patrons and we might take her up on her offer.

Also liked all of the decor including the Hawaiian shirt prints and decorative sunflower & waterlily art tiles in our room! Also, have to mention the eggs Benedict at the Costeaux French Bakery!! So delicious!! Best breakfast!! Yum!! We will definitely come back and stay longer next time to explore the downtown shops and restaurants or just relax and hang out at the gorgeous grounds of the Bella Luna!

My girlfriend and I were looking for a little adventure on the Fourth of July weekend; she had a…read morewedding to play in Napa on Monday, so Sunday afternoon we looked around for a little place to have an adventure. After a little bit of poking around, it seemed Lakeport would be perfect (thanks to Christine G's review); neither of us had really been here before, and the Forbestown Inn was reasonably priced for a B&B on a holiday weekend ($120, about half what some of the Napa B&B's were charging!). We called up the Inn from the Bay Area and Pat let us know there was a room available; she asked of our arrival time so she could make sure the room was made up and cool by the time we were to arrive. When we showed up to this adorable site (after a nearly four hour drive) she greeted us and gave us some pointer on dinner, the WiFi password, and keys. We stayed in the Anna room. The house and rooms were classically appointed in the VIctorian style that seems to pervade most B&Bs, with frill and antique, though not overdone. The bed was a queen-size (which felt a touch on the small size) but the rooms were reasonably large and the bathrooms were pretty spacious (though down two steps, interestingly enough!). The overall setup was just gorgeous with a backyard to lounge in and very easy access to all of Lakeport's main attractions (we watched the "boat races" at the Speedway, NOTE: NOT ON WATER - see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivLX2Hu9iqU). Breakfast was an omelette (in truth, more like a frittata) with portabello mushrooms and red peppers, with a good strong coffee. My girl and I were trying to cut down on carbs, so we asked for no bread, but the other couple at the breakfast table raved about the French toast. After the other couple left, we actually had the whole run of the place to ourselves and lounged by the pool. Delightful. :) Overall, charming and an excellent value; you'll find this a really fun, sweet, and random getaway. To Lakeport!

Additional amenities include private pool for guests, basketball court, playground, small basic arcade, and a pool table in the main check-in building. So why the negative review? Upon check-out, we found a used condom under the bed and a blue pill of some sort near the used condom. Traveling with a 2-year old that likes to pick up stuff off the ground and other kids ranging from 6-8 year olds is not what I would imagine we'd find in this hotel. Cleaning needs to be done thoroughly as this is just disgusting and gross, no better than the average dirty Motel 6. It's unfortunate that we'd found this upon check-out, or else I'd ask for a different room or deep cleaning service. If the floor is not clean, I don't want to know what else is not clean. Not sure if we'd be returning again.
