Everything is very good, if not quite outstanding. Seating in rooms could be more comfortable. Good burgers at the tavern. This is one of the better options in the area if you can get a decent rate. I would come back.

The stonework in the rooms is very compelling. Rooms are clean and the staff is responsive. My biggest complaint was with the bed itself. It was hollowed out and lumpy. And if you can't sleep, the rest doesn't matter!

The Inn at Zaca Creek is a boutique property that has gorgeous, intimate rooms that are unique with the natural stone walls. Beautiful property with an onsite restaurant that rivals any foodies fantasy. The staff are friendly, courteous and fit their roles perfectly. You could transplant Zaca Creek Inn & Tavern over to Napa and it would thrive. We can’t wait to return

Welcoming, comfortable, & excellent tavern
Quaint roadside tavern/inn with exceptional service and food. The room was very comfortable, felt private and attention was given to making sure we had everything we needed. Like days forgotten, I loved that they called us the day of check in to welcome us, provide check in information, and see if there was anything special we needed. It reminded us of an old family run country roadside inn and tavern except the service, food, & beer/wine selection were all 5-star. We would go back to the Inn at Zaca in a second.

The Inn at Zaca Creek
Our one night stay at the Inn at Zaca creek was nice. The room was extremely clean and had everything we needed. My only complaint was the memory foam bed. I have a bad back and it killed me in the morning. Other than that I would highly recommend.

Give it a chance. The room we had (#1) was dark and the bed was so so. But it grew on us and the bar, the owner, the bar tender and the food were exceptional. Also the property is pretty interesting and the pool is really great for a hot summer stay.

Although the room is very cool looking and exactly as pictured on the site, I would not recommend this property. We did make a last minute reservation, and that could explain the fact that the bathroom had a dirt-ringed toilet bowl and cobwebs. It is an isolated motel location and feels more like a VRBO since the management is not on-site at night. There were limited guests the night we booked and since we were not familiar with the area, this made us feel unsafe, especially since the motel is just off the highway. After discovering our only dinner option at the local Marriot, I would say that is a better place to stay if you are passing through the area.

Loved it!
This was a beautiful place! I wished we could have tried the restaurant but sadly it was closed when we were staying there but we had a really good time at the bar. Juan was excellent & everyone working there were great. The hotel was super comfortable and I love how it looked like a cave inside our room. Totally recommend!

Stayed for one night - it was the best experience! The Inn is amazing, with all the amenities you can imagine. The bed was comfortable, shower great, and service outstanding. I only wish I could've stayed longer. Only one issue..the Nespresso coffee maker was working for me. But fortunately I bring my own instant coffee. Other than that, everything was 100%. Will definitely come back!

Absolutely gorgeous-Will return!
Wow! I’m so glad we ended up picking this location.We debated on staying closer in Solvang(7 min drive- not bad at all) but couldn’t resist after seeing the pictures-I’m glad we did! This location is beyond beautiful! The rooms are exactly as pictured! And the pool-stunning & relaxing!My husband & I took our teens & they loved it. The place thought of everything,toiletries,slippers,robes,Nespresso, water,snacks! Yes, they don’t have a “front desk” but personally besides us needing to switch towels out & ice, there wasn’t a need for one. We caught a worker & asked for both & he assisted us-he was friendly.We only stood 2nights so turnover service wasn’t important for us. And yes, it’s right alongside the freeway but that was no bother at all! It wasn’t noisy whatsoever.Checkin-we did need to go in, where we were given a code (quick & easy). Lots of parking avail.There are 6 rooms avail,so it’s very quiet & private. Feedback (nothing major):Since we did go with teens, they do require more privacy while showering so the “open shower” prevented us from using the toilet while they showered at same time if needed.The coffee “bar” limited our space in the bathroom (on sink) & I personally don’t place or take any food/drinks into the bathroom area.The bathroom is only place w/mirrors (above sink and a body mirror), so getting ready made the bathroom crowded.I followed directions for direct tv, but only got 1 channel (could’ve just been us) but we didn’t spend much time watching TV.

This boutique Inn is such a surprise & delight!! We loved our 2 night stay here, with kids. Beautiful property, cozy rooms and very zen/peaceful pool area. Like having your own private oasis!! The onsite Tavern is exceptionally delicious, our meals were excellent! Tavern service was also fantastic. What a hidden gem!! Will definitely be back :)

The only thing we lacked was more time - superb!
A quiet get-away with only 6 suites on the property. We felt like being in Europe with unique all-stone architecture and I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the pool and countryside. The tavern was wonderful for dining and has a nice full bar & wine list. There's a covered patio available too. The bathroom was large with a full tub and shower, includes nice linens and a frig in room. A tasty breakfast scone-sandwich can be ordered in advance for 9AM delivery, since the tavern is closed until happy hour. The GM, Stephen Villa was very hospitable and helpful with check-in arrangements since key codes are used.

Buellton beauty.
Nice upscale digs. Disappointed our room did not have walk-in shower. Pic's on site showed multiple rooms rather than specific room. Deep tub was nice but difficult to enter and exit just to shower... expected a bottle of wine or champagne in our room, typical to this level of stay and shown in a picture during review of rooms. No mention of this onsite, just saying.
