A Quintessential Santa Barbara cottage in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara built in 1915. The rooms are rather small (Think Parisian Hotel) but well-appointed and quaint: a place to hang your hat, charge your phone, rest your feet, set your glass and simply relax.

The more spacious backyard is perfect for sharing stories, relaxing and unwinding around the fire pit and cozy sofas.
