Summary: We stayed in Volume 1 which is not in the property but in an adjacent structure tucked in the back of the property. It had some charms but was mostly devoid of amenities. The couch wasn’t a pull out but just a firm couch bench where the back lays flat. Linens weren’t provided for the couch so we had to call as there is no staff on site. Linens were kept in the main house and we were told to get them ourselves if we wanted it. Since we booked for three people I wouldn’t have expected self service to track that down. We got in late at night and found the linens had sand or powder of some kind on them. We think it was laundry detergent that didn’t get rinsed out. I itched all night but my wife slept. The black out curtains worked well and the shower was nice but the bathroom was otherwise cramped and would have been challenging for three people to share and get ready at the same time. The desk was small, the seats were small but had quaint charm. It is not a room I would expect one could work or study in if that was needed. You have access to common areas in the main building but not much private space in the room. There was a private patio with two chairs but in an otherwise plain fenced in area that I don’t think anyone would use. This is not a bed and breakfast, though it was in the past. We couldn’t eat in the morning. They had put three bagels out the night before but all were gone by when we got up. The keurig was lousy for coffee. Overall disappointing!

Summary: We would have preferred a couple extra bath towels for 2 nights but that is all. The place is quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. We would come back here.

Summary: My husband and I loved staying at the Keleidoscope Inn - a gorgeous and handsomely appointed Victorian house in a serene garden setting. Our room was simply beautiful, the bed very comfortable, the bathroom lovely and spotless. The hostess, Beki, is warm and attentive, and she's a good cook! (If you're good and hungry, try her hearty apple pancake for breakfast.) A tremendous value. I would stay there again in a hot minute.

Summary: Beautiful space and gardens. So much history and friendly staff. Lots of convenient places to explore, from Jocko’s bbq restaurant to the Dana Ranch Home, lots to do in Nipomo.
