"Great location, walkable to Village and lots of dog friendly restaurants. Pool was FANTASTIC with it being 105°+ down the hill all week, the day & night pool visits were well worth the cost."

The Burgundy

10/10 Excellent

"Room was adorable and clean, check in was quite timely but I get that they are trying to keep a laid back vibe, had we not been in a hurry to get to a wedding it wouldn’t have been a problem. I will definitely stay again on different circumstances so we can enjoy it more. IMO: lighting could be less yellow and dim."
