Pescadero Creek Inn

We enjoyed a great stay at Pescadero Creek Inn. It is charming, well run, and close to everything. Pescadero is a fun beach town for a visit and a stay, and the Pescadero Creek Inn is the ideal base camp for your visit.

My husband and I stayed in the cottage. It was very quaint, comfortable and quiet. The owner was friendly and made us feel at home. There isn’t much parking on the property but plenty across the way. There’s only a tub in the cottage which was fine but the water pressure isn’t that great so it does take awhile to get enough water in the tub to bathe. We really enjoyed our stay.

A delightful, comfortable, beautiful, and wonderful place for a restful stay. Very clean and well maintained. Ken, the manager, is a gracious host. Rooms and common areas are thoughtfully decorated and designed for maximum enjoyment.
Close to a world class beach, marsh, and redwood forested hills. Surrounded by Pescadero, good for walking, dining (I suggest Duarte’s Tavern), or biking (up Stage Road, which rejoins Hwy 1 to the north).
Enjoy!

Quaint B&B in a beautiful spot at the edge of town. We stayed in the cottage, which can sleep 4 people if needed, although the bathroom/​bath situation is a little awkward because there’s no division with the bedroom and there isn’t a shower head. Breakfast was a little greasy/​heavy but no real complaints, the room was clean, and the owner is friendly. As others have noted, the price is on the high side for what it is, so be forewarned. And the non-​cottage rooms all open into the dining room so you will probably be awakened whenever breakfast begins.

Everything was clean and lovely. Outdoor space is limited. Apparently, the 5pm wine and cheese described in a previous review has been discontinued. Breakfast was good, particularly the extra crispy bacon. $ 247 (incl. tax) for one night is a bit steep in this small rural town for a B&B with few amenities. We enjoyed shopping at the great local food shops, and the cioppino dinner at Duate’s Tavern is Pescadero’s deserved claim to fame. Dinner reservations advised. The drive on Hwy. 1 to Santa Cruz is spectacular – stop at the Pie Ranch – and there are many overnight accommodations in that city.

We had two days to spend before visting friends in Capitola, CA so decided to use them by riding route 1 down as far as Big Sur. Looked for a place near the north end for the first night and found this B&B. Pescadero is a one-​street town about 20 minutes south of Half Moon Bay. The Inn is total charm, with views of hobbit barrows through an oval window in their parlor, free and actually good owner-​made Chardonnay served with wonderful local goat cheese at 4, and soft beds in a charming (not cloying) room. No TV but they do have wireless. .Fireplace in the parlor and wonderful quiche in the morning started us off perfectly. Be sure to stop in the local bakery-​gourmet store for artichoke-​garlic bread. The claim is that it comes out of the over every hour and sure enougfh it was warm — although it was midweek in March, in this one-​horse town, and the store was almost empty. Do they throw the bread out every hour? Wish I could remember the name because I’d have to 5-​star tt as well. Eating tufts of perfect bread heavily studded with gems of artichoke while traveling down route 1 to Big sur is all one needs for vacation. Although before you leave the area, turn left off the main road (not right toward Rt 1) and go about 7 miles to a small redwood preserve and take a 10 minute hike– like taking a walk through a natural monastery.

This place is awesome! Lovely surroundings, great wine, incredible breakfast. Perfect breeding ground for good times with new friends. The owner is as pleasant as they come and the experience has been wonderful!

Great place for a relaxing, quiet retreat. We loved the beautiful landscaping and gardens, with plenty of little benches throughout. The room (we stayed in the garden cottage) was clean and comfortable. Fireplace was lit in the parlor during morning coffee, a cozy way to start the day.
Breakfasts were hearty and delicious, cooked with fresh herbs – on our first morning I believe they served fruit parfait, rosemary potatoes, frittata, and bacon.

The best feature of our stay was how much the owners care about providing a wonderful experience for their guests. Every aspect of this bed and breakfast is meticulously managed. They renovated the historic site in the 1990’s to its present romantic, clean, comfortable rooms and cottage. Soaking in a claw foot tub is paradise. The four-​room size of the business makes for a charming and intimate experience. We were served an abundant and delicious breakfast at 9am where we could chat and share travel tips. They offer afternoon wine and cheese as a nice way to relax, socialize, and enjoy the bounty of Northern California.
The negatives would be that Pescadero is a bit isolated, so pack carefully because if you forget anything, it is a long drive to replace it. Being fairly isolated and new to driving in the area, it was easy to miss the road signs in the deeply dark country night and did an extra hour of one-​lane highway driving trying to find the place (no GPS signal out there to help). Also, if you want to be more self-​paced for breakfast and sleeping in, I would recommend a less attentive place that instead offers a breakfast buffet. It was nice to meet the other guests and be treated to a nice breakfast, but I was tired from waking up slightly earlier than I was comfortable to eat at 9 am and frankly needed more sleep, less food, and less chit chat in the morning.
Highly recommended for the sweeping views of Northern California, proximity to state parks, beaches, and agribusinesses, and waking up to the delightful chirping of birds and the aroma of grass and blossoms.

I came here with my boyfriend a few weeks ago using a living social deal. The amenities were nice and the breakfast that Ken prepared was absolutely delicious. Pescadero is pretty small but there is so much to do in the area. The «guide book» provided by the Inn was very helpful for planning our days in the area. Definitely go to the local market and get their homemade sourdough bread with a little tub of Haystack goat cheese… it’s a little slice of heaven.

Great little B & B in a quiet little town where you can just get away from it all…
We have stayed here often and Ken (owner/​operator) always makes the stay a comfortable experience. They have 3 rooms in the main house to choose from and than a cottage in the back area available as well. It is in a perfect location and walking distance to the little downtown Pescadero area where you can walk in for dinner at Duarte’s or shop in the local shops.
We have always enjoyed staying in the Creekside Room where there is a beautiful claw footed tube right next to your bed. It is perfect for taking a long bath with a glass of wine before turning in. I will admit tho, I hope they change the mattress soon, it was getting a little squishy and a bit uncomfortable the last time we were there. We will probably try another room next time.
The breakfast that Ken makes in the morning is always expertly prepared with local fresh ingredients and he will always try to accommodate any food restrictions. The juices served are freshly squeezed and original blends along with choices of various teas and of course coffee.
It’s a great place to stay if you are looking for a B & B on the coast!

This is a quiet, relaxing escape near the ocean. The Inn has three rooms and a cottage. At 5PM, guests are served wine and local cheeses and fruits. The cheeses are from the nearby Harley Goat Farm. Then, in your room you are greeted by the softest sheets (so soft I had to search out the company that made them and buy my own!) and a claw-​foot tub for soaking. If you prefer to go out, the cute town of Pescadero is right outside your door. There is an old tavern (Duarte’s) just at the end of the block with amazing artichoke soup. The Inn also has board games, books, comfy couches, and a fireplace. In the morning, an organic breakfast is served. Some of the fruits and vegetables are grown right there at the Inn. Coffee, teas, and fresh-​squeezed juices are served. MMMM… and the fire is lit. I always wish it was lit at night too.

Absolutely loved the place. Beautiful décor, terrrific host (Ken) and outstanding breakfast. Full of special touches such as wine and local (Harley) goat cheese in the evening. Rooms are spotless and comfortable. A bit pricy but probably worth every penny.

This is a wonderful little B&B, a beautifully maintained and restored, comfortable property. It’s walking distance to everything in Pescadero (Pescadero being about .5 square miles).
Owner Ken can perhaps get a little cranky if something unexpected happens, but he’s a fine cook and innkeeper, and I recommend the place.

My lady and I really liked this place.
Located at the edge of this still-​rural Coastside village, Pescadero Creek Inn is located in a Victorian-​era farmhouse on the edge of flower fields.
The host Ken couldn’t be friendlier. He runs a neat, clean and unpretentious bed and breakfast nestled in extensive flower and herb beds. He cooks a mean breakfast too. All organic with home-​grown strawberries.
They’ve got a wide selection of board games and a guitar you can play in the common area. No t.v., so if you gotta see Desperate Houswives or Star Search, move on.
As we were leaving Ken gave us some cuttings from his Mexican Sage plant out back. That’s cool.
Highly recommend this place.
