Occidental Guest House

First lets just say that what attracted me was the website. I loved how exclusive each property was and how attention to detail everything appeared. Second thing I loved was how professional and sweet Barbara was on the phone and email. Third was how adorable the town was when we pulled into town. It’s so quite and picturesque. Everyone knows everyone. So when we walked into the union hotel to check into our guest house Barbara welcomed us with open arms and her tasty bruschetta. Delicious! We got instructions on where we were headed and what to expect and we were off. We pulled into our driveway and oh my goodness!!! The house was beautiful! Huge fireplace, big kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 bath with washer and dryer. They also have this cool juke box on the wall with all of this awesome music to play and the view is perfect. Tip: they don’t have a DVD player and the stations are basic cable so bring a hookup for you laptop to connect to the tv. Besides that its awesome! Thanks again Barbara! We will be back! Oh did I mention that the house is a Frank Llyod Wright house??? Ya… Awesome.

We stayed in the Bungalow this past weekend, while attending a weekend class event up at the CYO retreat center.
What a totally gorgeous, tasteful, and welcoming experience! The place has most everything you’ll need (bring your kitchen cooking goods like oil and whatnot if you plan on cooking), a roaring fireplace, and the décor feels totally five star. The grounds are quite beautifully landscaped and the sunset was gorgeous.
Barbara, the owner, even came down to meet and escort us from the Union Hotel, where we stopped for a wonderful glass of cool white wine. Cell phone reception up there is dodgy, especially if you’ve got AT&T.
Really can’t say enough nice things about our experience of the room and Occidental itself — which is totally charming!
