Overall, this was a lovely place. Location was awesome, the host responsive and the property was…read morecool and quaint. I am giving it 3 stars because we rented a room for 3, and what we got was something barely big enough for two. Our room had two beds(one was tucked into the wall) with no closet, one small hook on a door and one luggage stand. Nowhere to store 3 people's stuff at all. There was a single chair, and two tiny bedside tables. No issues with the bathroom, which was spacious and nice. I was told it was "like a hotel room", but I don't agree. Awkward and cramped for 3 humans. Besides sitting outside, there was no literally nowhere for us to play cards, or eat takeout food. Nice place overall, but I felt a bit duped. We were literally instructed to not post to yelp unless it was five stars and to write them directly, but when I saw another review echoed my experience I just had to.

We booked Room 2 at The Parsonage expecting a traditional bed-and-breakfast stay in a historic…read morehome. The property is listed as a B&B on several platforms, the website features breakfast imagery, and the booking form asks for dietary restrictions, so we reasonably assumed breakfast and access to common areas were part of the experience. Instead, Room 2 functions more like a small private room rental with limited access to the house. We were surprised to learn upon arrival that we did not have access to the main house common areas. For us, shared spaces are a major part of what makes staying in a bed and breakfast enjoyable. The room itself was also extremely small. With a queen bed and a twin bed in the room, there was essentially no space to move around comfortably and no seating area at all. For three guests, there was nowhere to sit except on the beds, and simply walking around the room was difficult due to the tight layout. Breakfast was also not served. Two muffins were left for us despite the reservation being for three guests, and despite the booking form asking for dietary restrictions. We have stayed at many bed and breakfasts over the years throughout California--both coastal and wine country--and the experiences we've loved have always included warm hospitality, welcoming hosts, shared spaces to relax in, and memorable breakfasts. The common thread in these stays is that guests are encouraged to enjoy the home itself, interact with hosts, and relax in shared spaces. That sense of hospitality and atmosphere is the reason we choose B&Bs. While the building at The Parsonage is historic, Room 2 itself felt very modern and generic rather than reflecting the character of a historic inn. To be fair, the owners later pointed out that the website includes a detailed description and a floor plan showing the limited access for Room 2. However, we found the wording easy to misinterpret when booking, particularly given the B&B categorization, breakfast imagery on the site, and the dietary restriction field in the booking form. At approximately $280 for the night (including a $50 fee for a third guest), the experience did not match what we personally expect from a bed-and-breakfast stay. This room may work fine for travelers who simply want a small private room and plan to spend most of their time out in town. However, for guests specifically seeking the hospitality, shared spaces, and atmosphere that typically define a bed-and-breakfast experience, Room 2 may not meet those expectations.

We arrived before check in time and Andrea greeted us with a smile and offered to check us in early. I told her I have sleeping issues and could we be placed in a quiet area with a room. She said she knew the building with rooms 163-170. When we got to the room it was nice and warm, (a problem that we had at The Pines, a small space heater only because the wall unit wasn't working and no maintenance on the property.) We're old and there's good lighting for night time on the exterior. I left the party at 9 PM and stopped by the office for an extra blanket. The two women working were friendly and helpful. The bathroom had a new shower, glass doors and a rain shower head. I always bring my grey slippers for travel. The carpet was very clean and I was so pleased because I'm not used to that. I told my hubby, this is where we are staying in the future when we drive down to see the family.

I really wanted to like this hotel because the rooms were very large and offered a lot of…read moreamenities, but unfortunately the cleanliness and upkeep were unacceptable. The moment I walked in, I was hit with an overwhelming chemical smell--something like bleach, degreaser, or another strong cleaner. It was so overpowering that it made the room uncomfortable right away. The bathroom was the biggest disappointment. The bathtub drain was dirty, there were skid marks on the toilet seat, and there was hair left in the sink. None of those issues should ever be present in a room that's supposed to be cleaned before a guest arrives. The bedroom wasn't any better. The comforter had a noticeable blue stain and a rip in it. It was obvious the damage was visible before the bed was made, yet it was put on anyway. To make matters worse, there were actual boogers on the ceiling and another one on the bed frame. I have pictures documenting all of these issues. The hotel itself is clearly older, and while I understand older properties require more maintenance, many of these issues could have been addressed with basic housekeeping and attention to detail. There were also paint chips missing from the walls and several other small maintenance issues that would have been simple to repair. None of these are major renovations--they're basic touch-ups that would make a significant difference in the appearance and quality of the room. My reservation was originally for two nights, but the room was in such poor condition that I couldn't bring myself to stay a second night. I checked out after just one night because I simply wasn't comfortable spending another evening there. Considering the condition of the room and the price I paid, I do not feel I received the quality of accommodations I was promised. I would appreciate appropriate compensation for this experience. A room at this price point should be clean, well-maintained, and ready for guests upon arrival. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Overall, this was a very disappointing and disgusting experience, and I will not be staying here again. The size of the rooms and available amenities simply do not make up for the lack of cleanliness and care. I sincerely hope management takes these concerns seriously so future guests don't have the same experience.

Walking into the house, my girlfriend and I were transported into what felt like snow white's wonderland cabin.

We were greeted by Priya, the owner of Flume's End who is a one-woman show. Her energy was contagious and I immediately felt at home. She showed us to our room, the Empire Suite, which has a huge bed, a gorgeous bathroom, and its own outside patio balcony. This is an all inclusive experience. Priya likes to leave out cookies for guests as "midnight snacks," and there's hot cocoa and coffee available all day! I can't say enough about the breakfast, which had everything you could ask for. Can we talk about the little parfait cups?!? And the mini egg dishes? I was living in tea party heaven. You can't beat staying at Flume's End. It's a 5 minute walk into downtown, and the backyard is a fairy forest that you can wander around and enjoy day & night. We'll be back!

There were apparently other rooms in a different part of the house with a more accessible staircase. Otherwise, the room was fine and the breakfast was good.

The gentleman who checked us in was pleasant and humorous. The small garden, fountain, etc were wonderful touches. While it's probably only a shadow of its former 50's road trip glory days, it was a welcome surprise to find it well cared for. The only issue was that the window above the bed had no window screen and the window in the "kitchen " alcove had no window covering. A street runs right outside this window thus a privacy curtain is needed. A very easy walk to the old town center with lots of tourist trap shops and a few nice eateries. The chocolate shop is not to be missed as is the updated Mediterranean restaurant.

We stayed in Chalet 307 for 2 nights in September 2026. The condition of the chalet was horrible. We mentioned this to the person at the front desk when we were checking out and she mentioned that they are in the process of renovating the entire property, but that the Chalets would be the last to be renovated. But as of September 2026, Chalet 307 was in horrible condition. Upon entry there was an overwhelming awful smell. The dishwasher was broken, the oven was disgusting, the shower was in terrible shape, and the upstairs toilet was cracked. The upstairs bed was hard as a rock and so was the pull-out bed, but that's pretty typical. There were no screens on any of the windows or sliding glass door, so if you left anything open, there were bugs everywhere. There weren't enough towels and no bath mat left for the shower floor. The lighting was so bad. It's so dark in there. There were pine needles all over the deck and chairs and table. We didn't eat outside because it was very hot, but if we wanted to, we couldn't. I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone. Hopefully the chalets are renovated soon.
