Pescadero Creek Inn - Pescadero, California

Randi Schalet

The Inn's owner was very pleasant and accommodating. The rooms could benefit from a few fixes, like curtains that better blocked out the light. Morning coffee was not good. Loved being near spectacular beaches, maybe 15 minute drive. All in all, a very nice visit.

Clean, comfortable, private, good value, pretty view. 4 minute drive to Pescadero Beach, 4 minute walk to Duarte's Tavern, Downtown Local Coffee & ice cream, taqueria, and u-pick berries across the road. Historic details of the inn were lovely - old stone fire place, beveled glass. Modern comfort. Pretty trees and flowers offered privacy from the small road in front. Host was gracious, accommodating and easy to reach without being intrusive. We would stay here again.

We arrived on a misty evening after a long day of travel to the warm and inviting inn. Just a 50 minute drive from the airport, the Creekside Room was the perfect respite with its charming decor, comfortable bed, and the only sound a hooting owl. Truly, the silence was something I haven’t heard since I cannot remember when. No traffic, no fans, nothing. It was so silent I worried I would not be able to sleep, but I did. Soundly. We awoke to find a tray of coffee, small pitchers of carrot and orange juices, and biscotti waiting outside our door. The lovely garden shimmered with dampness in the morning, making us wish for another day in this mini paradise to relax among the flowers by the creek and maybe peruse some of the many books found in the common area.

This was an extremely disappointing experience. Most reviews have been high, but it should have been a red flag that there have not been any reviews in months.

We stayed at the Garden Cottage. Being in a separate unit was nice, but that's where the positives end. Things are old and falling apart. There was dirt on the table. The glass that accompanied the morning juice was dirty itself with a layer of dark stuff on the bottom (which I only discovered after I had already poured juice into it and almost drank it, yuck). There is no comfortable place to sit with a desk/table.

The owners never met us. The welcome letter gives Covid as a reason for no contact, but it's Winter 2024 and there is no reason for this anymore (it's perfectly fine for people to wear masks if there are health concerns). There was zero feeling of hospitality.

The single thing going for this place is its location as it's very close to town and also next to a nice little creek.

I would never stay here again and advise others against doing so until the owners take cleanliness, functionality, and hospitality more seriously.

Oh my. Not getting a review in a year should’ve been a red flag. This was a very bad experience and I absolutely do not recommend this place until they make some serious changes. We stayed in the separate house, which costs even more of course, but what a disappointment. The furniture was old and uncomfortable. The table had dirt on it. The morning juice glass had dirt in it. We never saw the hosts, not when we checked in and not when we left even though we purposefully stopped in before we left. You get more hospitality at a motel. I would have been disappointed with even half the cost, but this way it was truly frustrating. The one upside of this place is the location as it’s very close to town.

First of all, this place is so perfectly charming that it couldn't fit the vibe of Pescadero any better.
Their amenities, check in, etc, all straightforward, blah, blah, blah... On to the important stuff:

A. The bookshelf in the common area is refreshingly full of super interesting books.

B. Look at the details on this wallpaper!
What a masterful wrapping of the switch plates to match the background. I mean, would I ever wall paper switch plates?
Of course not.
Do I think these should have been wall papered?
If you have the skills to pull this off, then absolutely!

Thanks for a lovely evening away!

Nice place and Pescadero is great. I was in the Rose room. It’s right off the entry so not the most private. Ken the proprietor is a nice dude and reservation on line and check in were smooth and easy. Decode in the Rose room is B&B grandma’s house style but very clean and not dusty. Shower is old school with tub and curtain.

Pescadero is a great place to stay. I love Duarte’s there, but be aware good is only served from Thursday mid day through the weekend. Bar seemed to be open evenings. Everything else seems to close at 5pm except the gas station which has a grocery section and Mexican food. I had a child reyeno one night. Poor quality and flavor.

This place was definitely a charming, comfortable, rustic ocean cottage. If you are looking for room service, a hot tub, or a jacuzzi, this may not be the place for you.
There is a short walk into town for your needs and a very short drive to the beautiful ocean and sea cliffs.
This place is awesome! I would definitely recommend it, and we plan to return in the near future.
