    Our stay at Lucinda's Inn in Fair Play CA was the highlight of our weekend visiting the wineries there. The Vineyard Suite was very spacious and comfortable; breakfast and the afternoon wine and hors d'oeuvres were great. Cindy was extremely helpful suggesting wineries that we would enjoy and great dinner locations. We will definitely return!

    What a find!!! The rooms, food and service far exceeded our expectations and the location was perfect. While we were hesitant because of the price, the price is appropriate given the whole package. We intend to go back.

    This was a great stay. When we arrived, Cindy opened a bottle of wine and served some hot appetizers. We sat on the back deck enjoying these along with classical music in the background. Our room was spacious and very clean. It had all the amenities to make our stay feel special and pampered. Our private porch was a great place to enjoy a quiet and beautiful sunset. Breakfast was buffet-style and delicious. We walked to the back of the property and hiked up Perry Creek, which was very special. The bottom line ... we will definitely be back. It was our best stay in the area in years!
