Great Place
This was a last minute stay over the 4th of July. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The breakfast was great. You can ask to have things cooked for breakfast or have the premade stuff. We walked around the grounds, it’s like you’re in a hidden oasis. Would definitely stay again.

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.

Great place to stay
Great hideaway in Nimpono. Old house full of charm. Becky was wonderful checking us in. Great Oysters bar steps away and the famous Koko's Steakhouse a couple mins away.

Great place to stay
Do very wonderful place to stay in an old mansion. The breakfast provided by the host and hostess were excellent both warnings. The most of the rooms are upstairs so if you have a hard time navigating stairs, this may not be your preferred place to stay. But don’t let that stop you if you wanna real adventure. Is wonderful and relaxing. There are a lot of good restaurants nearby. We would go there again.

Best Place for a Stay in Nipomo
Our stay was in the Carriage House, which was a room sperate from the main house.The room was spacious. Overall the grounds are beautiful and quiet. The only disappointment was as advertised as a bed and breakfast the breakfast was a disappointment from our stays at other B&B.

So nostalgic and comfortable! Linae was very nice and accommodating. Her recommendation for Jockos was appreciated! Keith was our breakfast chef and recommended Lovi’s in Calabasas! So good! Thanks

Verified traveller

So happy we stumbled upon this stay !
We checked in after hours send Beki made the contactless check in, easy and stress-free ! We had to leave in the earlier side the next morning and Beki was cooking a breakfast that smelled delicious, we did not get to try most of it but there was a huge selection that seemed like it could fit any dietary restrictions. Our room was bigger than expected with tons of privacy and was very comfortable. We were very happy with our stay and wish we got to explore the gardens and stay a little longer - would highly recommend this cute little BnB.

Good communication with the staff and the space had a lot of character. Unfortunately, when I tried to take a shower in the morning there was no hot water.

This is a cool house to stay in. We had a very big room and plenty of privacy. There was an event on the property that could have disturbed our stay, however we were told in advance about the possibility of noise. It was ok for us because we had all day plans that kept us out the house until after 9pm.

Lovely older home. Beki was a very sweet woman who treated all of her guest very nicely. We stayed in the main Inn room called Enchanted Rose. The bed was so comfortable but sat up high so I used the step ladder. The Continental Breakfast offered had several choices plus she offered to cook us something. Would stay her again when we visit our father.
