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.

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.

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!

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.

Great location and very convenient to amenities especially restaurants. A very walkable area and the parking in the rear of the property was great. Walking through the property was great and arriving after hours the instructions, if you were staying in the main house were very easy to follow to get in and get settled.

Beautiful, comfortable, quiet. Convenient location. Bountiful breakfast. Friendly and helpful host and staff. Was surprised that towels were changed daily, in a drought region where everyone is trying to conserve water. Otherwise, excellent.

Did not get choice of rooms, as was last room...but did not care for Bobwhite room, inside house. It was back to back with only other room for rent in house, noisy inconsiderate travelers...but also was right next to kitchen...so no sleeping past 7 am...when Host began meal prep. Also did not like using bath right next to outdoor patio where literally everyone stood mere feet away as you tried to...anything...not cool at all!!! Would nor opt for that rm!! Also, no good ventilation, a ceiling fan about to fall on your head, or an extremely noisy window A/C...bed! Agh!!! It was advertised as a Queen, but is more like a sad double. Literally spent an hour the next day looking for anywhere else to stay!

Secret Garden was a treat. Initially we wanted to stay closer to downtown but glad we opted for the unique and romantic choice of the Garden Room at SGIC. We had a private garden with blooming flowers and a loveseat on a deck to enjoy outside of our room. The bed was amazing and we slept great. I wish I had gotten the name of our host but she was very pleasant. Bfast was inquired about the night before and delivered on time and each day included fantastic quiche w fruit.

The cottages are very clean, quite and the beds very comfortable. The garden is beautiful with lots of roses and a patio with 4 tables for outdoor dinning. Some rooms have private patios. The breakfasts were great. There is a free onsite parking lot via Sheridan St. The Secret Garden is very conveniently located.

Absolutely amazing get-away. Walking distance to downtown Main Street. The lady put lots of thoughts into making her guests comfortable. The highlight was the delicious breakfast delivered to our secluded backyard garden, where we got to enjoy with our dog in total tranquility. We can't wait to go back!

I liked everything about this place and owner and chef! This is the best experience! Hundred percent I will be back and enjoy the company of the owner and chef. They have the best personalities and you feel right at home and cozy and it’s so clean and beautiful! The food is five star rated! A variety of food and with special accommodations if needed. The garden is well-kept and gorgeous! I love playing the piano and entertaining the guests as well! The Secret garden House and bedroom was beautifully decorated! I loved the hot tub first thing in the morning! I was able to watch the beautiful trees and listen to the birds as I soaked in the hot tub. Overall experience was excellent!
