This inn and tavern were amazing! Truly one of the most beautiful places we've stayed on the central coast. It reminded us of our time in Tuscany, with it's old world charm and beautiful stonework. Our room was huge and had everything we needed for our romantic weekend away. The tavern staff were wonderful and even brought us complimentary sparkling wine for our anniversary. We will definitely be back!
The stone walls and tile floors were really unique and we felt like we were taken away to an ancient castle. The decor and lighting were also beautifully executed.
The property itself was full of greenery and surrounding mountains
The restaurant looked very romantic and everything had a consistently moody atmosphere that was very welcoming .
One of my favorite hotels I’ve stayed at so far . Highly recommend.
Wonderful place, very clean with a lot of extra goodies free of charge. The room was unique and comfortable. Also quiet and pretty. We ate at the restaurant which served delicious food with great service. Yummy cocktails from the bar! Parking is generous everywhere too. We will definitely return and highly recommend!
The Inn is so charming and comfortable. We only had a one night stay and we wish we could have stayed longer. The check in process was fast and easy. Our room was completely quiet, despite being within view of a street. The drapes kept the room nice and dark so that we had a great night's sleep. We had a question about the thermostat and within 2 minutes a staff member was at our room helping. We highly recommend the Inn at Zaca Creek.
Lovely, top notch inn. Rooms are spacious and clean, staff is friendly, and the tavern is excellent. Can’t say anything negative about this place. And they allow dogs!
The Inn at Zaca Creek was a treat, and we will certainly be back. The room was exquisite. It was made completely of stone with a Chandelier set into a high ceiling, rather like living in a castle. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had amenities galore, as did the snack bar set up with coffee and cookies all inclusive. The tavern had delicious food and drinks, the service top-notch. We were really treated like royalty and loved every moment. This is definitely a go-to for us.

Everything was excellent, the room was very clean and very cozy.
Beautiful stay at Zaca Creek. Lovely dinner at the Tavern. Bedding very comfortable and bathroom was lovely. Nice touches with complimentary waters and snacks. Would definitely stay again.
First time here. There are only 6 rooms I think. But the vibe is very nice. The room was chic. Nice bathroom with separate tub and shower. The star of the show was the tavern. Good and original food. I enjoyed the short stay!

Pros.... The room was exellent , very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay.the food at the tavern was excellent. The staff we had contact with at the tavern was great.
Cons.....Waterfall and pool were closed , also didn’t like the fact that we have to call someone or go into bar to ask for ice.
Stayed 1 night while in town for show at Chumash Casino with my sister and we LOVED our stay. Very cute and clean hotel with comfortable rooms. Will definitely be staying again in the future and do recommend!
Check in is seamless, no reception area, just a tablet, no key, just a code for the door, no check out, just text them when you are done, it couldn't get easier and smarter. Rooms have Roku, USB chargers, tooth brushes and paste, so you can travel light. 3 min drive from downtown and close to attractions
