Secluded behind high hedges, hidden pathways and romantic gardens, lies the Secret Garden Inn and Cottages. Originally built for a large family in 1905, then renovated and opened as the Blue Quail in 1980, it is now owned and run by Dominique Hannaux.

For a romantic getaway, step into the quiet and relaxing atmosphere of the Secret Garden Inn and Cottages. Stay in a Main House guest room, a cottage guest room or suite, or the completely private cottage. Each guest room and cottage is lovingly furnished with French Country antiques and Oriental rugs. Clawfoot antique baths enhance all the bathrooms which have modern shower attachments for your comfort and convenience.

Enjoy the delicious Buffet Breakfast which includes: Dominique's French recipe quiches, fresh baked scones, muffins, sweet breads, special fruit dish, coffee, hot tea, and juices.

At the Secret Garden Inn, you can indulge yourself in the luxury of your own bubbling hot tub beneath the stars, or an individual massage in the privacy of your deck, before relaxing by the log fire.

Many fine restaurants, shops, and sights of Santa Barbara are just a short stroll or a quick bike ride from the Inn. The Santa Barbara Mission and many other historical buildings are just a few blocks away.

When you stay at the Secret Garden Inn and Cottages, you'll be surrounded by the Inn's gardens -- romantic, peaceful, and restful.
