Wine Valley Inn & Cottages
1564 Copenhagen Dr., (800) 824-6444, (805) 688- 2111. 65 rooms; 3 stories. Some gas fireplaces & kitchens. Fitness room; hot tub; massage room. Breakfast. Pets ok.
This inn kept its Old World charm and Danish architecture when it merged from two previously existing lodgings into one. Located on a quiet back street, it is still close to shops and restaurants a plenty. It wraps around its landmark clock tower, which had a part in the movie “Psycho,” and when the clock chimes it can be heard throughout the small town. The quiet grounds are beautifully landscaped with winding paths, a koi pond and waterfall feature, and a secluded hot tub. From 5 to 9 p.m. daily, wine is available for purchase by the glass and bottle at the lobby lounge; cheese and crackers are complimentary.
Each room is unique. Some connect, some have bunk beds, and a few are specialty rooms. They do not have phones. My favorite is #204, which features dramatic Danish architecture and a vaulted ceiling and has steps from the entry down to a bedroom holding two queens. It can optionally open to room #205, which has bunk beds—making the two rooms perfect for a family. Several half-timbered cottages that sleep up to six are also available. Bikes can be rented on site, including surreys and mountain bikes.
