The Inn at Locke House

My husband and I spent one night at the Inn at Locke House and really enjoyed our stay. I was looking for something different than the usual hotel options near Lodi and this inn fit the bill! The house has a unique history and artifacts from the doctor who originally built the house are on display. What made our stay especially enjoyable are the current owners, Lani and Richard, who have been lovingly restoring the house for several years. We also enjoyed an excellent breakfast before our departure. We stayed in one of the rooms that had its own bathroom in the main house. It was a nice room, very clean. However, when we looked at the water tower suite the next day, we felt it would have been worth the extra money to have stayed there as it was very unique and private.

We had such an amazing time at this bed and breakfast. The breakfast in the morning was so incredibly good!!! We stayed in the water tower suite and it was so cute. They did such a great job restoring this house.

This place is a hidden gem! Lani and Richard make you feel like you have found a home away from home and ensure that you are comfortable, fed and have everything you need. A stay you won't forget!

We are so happy that you were so comfortable here. Thank you for the review and come see us again.

The only reason Locke House didn't receive a 5 on the room is because the bath (private) was down the hall. They did provide robes. Everything was beautiful. Lani and Richard are the best hosts anywhere! The breakfast was fabulous. I would stay here again but book early for the rooms with the bath in-suite.

Thank you for posting a review. We await your return and booking for an in-suite bathroom.

In addition to lovely rooms and nice people, the gardens are delightful.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for posting a review. The gardens are now in winter mode and cyclamen are spectacular.

My husband and I have stayed at the Inn at Locke House twice. Both times we enjoyed the much-needed therapy that comes with slowing down the fast pace. We awaken to birds singing, a wonderful teasing of the senses early morning from the kitchen, as well as the delectable tastes and presentation of the breakfasts. What a way to meet new people on the visit, and return to the warm hosting of Lani and Richard! We look forward to returning to our inviting, comfortable "step back in time" room.

We are always happy to welcome our return guests. It's fun to prepare new breakfast recipes or fulfill your request for us to repeat a favorite dish. Thank you for the kind review.

Thanks to Lani and Richard for their hospitality and kindness as my wife Leah and I spent our wedding night at the lovely Locke House Water Tower Suite. We also really appreciated their graciousness in letting us use the gardens for some of our wedding pics after the wedding ceremony. The house is beautiful and historic, permeating not only with the qualities that founder John Locke built into it but the warmth and values of the current caretakers. My wife and I had quite the memorable experience the following morning after our wedding night. It was something that we will never forget, both demanding but ultimately rewarding in a way, and something we knew was a good sign for our marriage. We will never forget our stay there and we still feel the energy and joy we felt from our wedding weekend whenever we are in the area and drive by the Inn. Thanks again to Lani and Richard for an enjoyable stay. Robbie P.S. Lani made the best French Toast I have ever had in my life. Totally worth a stay just for that!

One of the joys of the innkeeping profession is having memorable events take place at your inn. Hosting you for this most memorable weekend in your lives was our pleasure. Come celebrate again!

Impressive hospitality and delicious breakfast. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your review. We look forward to your return.

The Inn at Locke House ROCKS, simply put. The innkeepers, Lani and Richard, are professional, welcoming, and do a GREAT job taking care of their guests. Start to finish, we had a great visit, and plan to return again when it's time for a stay in the Lodi area wine country.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We look forward to the pleasure of hosting you again when you decide to explore this region again. We're looking forward to the various activities and events sponsored by area wineries. Check for our packages that incorporate those events.

I would highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast!!! Lani's cooking is so gourmet and you feel like you are at home. It is clean and comfy and very close to all of the attractions. The historical aspects of the home are very interesting as well and the grounds are beautiful!!! We will never stay anywhere in the area but here!!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you enjoyed the gardens. When you return, please let us know what you think of the fountain "garden" we're developing along the entry way.

This is a great B&B. Highly recommended. Lani was a wonderful hostess. We would stay there again. R&D 17vii12

Thank you for your recommendation. Please do stay again as you continue your explorations of Northern California.

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Inn at Locke House. Lani, Richard, and Kerri were all so friendly and welcoming, the food was delicious, and the accommodations were clear and comfortable. The room and public spaces were updated in such a way that is different from many of our stays in older inns. The floors were not creaky, the rooms were not musty, the lighting was not poor. It was historic, but it was completely comfortable at the same time.

Thank you for taking time to place a review. We're so happy that you enjoyed your stay in this historic farmhouse. The Lockes incorporated all the latest conveniences and so we felt secure in doing the same and remaining true to the heritage of the house.

The Inn at Locke House is a wonderful historic building surrounded by a lovely garden with mature oaks and pine trees. It is very quiet and peaceful. I slept really well there and enjoyed the claw foot bathtub and the tiled bathroom. Kerri is an excellent cook and is very warm and friendly. I will definitely return to the Inn at Locke House.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
On behalf of Kerri, thank you for letting us know how comfortable you were at the inn. We were sitting in the garden this morning enjoying early coffee and our guests commented on that peaceful feeling you experienced. Please do return!

While on our honeymoon, my husband and I were fortunate enough to meet some wonderful people who recommended we stay at the Locke House Inn. We called and Lani had one room left and we reserved it. We arrived earlier than expected and Richard was warm and welcoming. We loved staying at the Locke House so much our first night, that we asked Lani and Richard if they were able to accommodate us for a second. To my delight, we were able to stay. I cannot begin to tell you how delicious the breakfast meals were, absolutely fabulous. I love to cook and wish that I had some of Lani's recipes. I look forward to returning, hopefully for our anniversary next year. I cannot wait to delve more into the history of the home! Rita & Vince

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
It was a joy to have you stay as part of your honeymoon in California trip. As long as we've been here we've yet to finish exploring the area. I've been promising to do a small collection of favorite inn recipes for a couple of years now. Promise to let you know when it's ready.

This was our second stay at The Inn at Locke House, Lani and Richard were charming and the breakfasts were delicious. Our quick getaway for our aniversary was a great success. The history of the house was, as always appealing. The true antiqueness of the furnishings would be the only drawback, the charm of the authenticity somewhat hampered by the inconvenience of sticking dresser drawers and fear that actually using them may cause them to fall apart. Otherwise however it was a quiet, peaceful and welcome respite from the day to day grind!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We love our return guests, especially those who are celebrating a special event in their lives. Thank you for bringing to our attention the need to "unstick" those antique dresser drawers, especially since some have been in use for over 100 years! Test our repairs (or replacements if needed) on your next stay.

We had a terrific one night stay in the Water Tower Suite. The room was spacious, private, and overlooked a lovely garden. We didn't take advantage of any local restaurants but really enjoyed the generous breakfast and coffee. Will absolutely visit again when in the area.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for staying! The Water Tower was a special experience for us to develop for guest enjoyment. We'd love to have you return with time to try some of the unique restaurants in Lodi and Lockeford.

We stayed here the night of our wedding. The innkeeper was so nice tto accommodate our need to drop off our vehicle the night before so neither of us had to worry about getting picked up. Also since our arrival was so late they left our let in a special island place since the check in time had passed. They even labeled it Mr.&Mrs. We ordered a special package that included champagne and truffles awaiting us in our room. We stayed in the tower suite and it was beautiful. We are really looking forward to staying here again. The grounds are beautiful. Breakfast wasdelicious made from scratch with care and love. It was three courses and every bit delicious and all local and fresh. When Lani, the owner, had a moment to sit down at the end of breakfast she even explained their incredible journey restoring this home. It really made us feel like family. Five stars and they earned every bit of it!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
One of the best "gifts" this inn gives us is being the setting for beginnings - especially for marriages! Thank you for letting us know that you "...Create Special Memories" while you were here.

Quaint inn tucked away, on beautiful grounds. Breakfast was awesome!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Be sure to return to enjoy the gardens and view in a different season. And our breakfast menu will reflect that season's local bounty.

My mom and I went to The Inn at Locke House for Mother's Day weekend and had a wonderful experience there. The Inn is full of fascinating history, is gorgeously preserved, and although it feels as if one has walked into the past, the Inn is complete with modern conveniences. I plan to return with my husband - and hopefully other friends as well - it's a true gem.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We are glad you and your mother enjoyed your special time together here at the inn. It's obvious that you have a very special bond. Please do come again and explore more of the history and the house.

Loved all of the history that this old house has. Felt like a part of the family. Will be back!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We learned even more of the history of this place. Check out our 150th for $18.62 anniversary special for details. It will be our pleasure to welcome you back!

The Inn at Locke House provided a great getaway weekend for me and my wife! Thanks for a memory maker.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for experiencing this treasure and creating your special memories here. And for us, your stay is treasured!

Richard and Loni were wonderful hosts. The food was excellent as was the service. They were warm and welcoming, but not so friendly as to talk your ear off. The history of the house and what they have done with it is incredible. I would love to visit again sometime. I think their house is the best place to stay if you are wine tasting in the area, and the area has some great wineries!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We're fortunate that the inn is located so close to some of the unique wineries in the Lodi Appellation. We're getting news of winery music events and are determined to attend!

Wow – We were overwhelmed with the hospitality that Lani and Richard showed my wife and I for our one night stay in their home. We felt welcome from the first minute to the last. The home and property are a piece of California history, just lovely. But the hospitality shown us was “out of the park”. We felt like we were visiting some old and dear friends. Lani’s breakfast was excellent with fruit, French toast, local sausage and heartfelt conversation. We highly recommend that if you are in the Lodi area, stay at the Locke house. We will.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for choosing to stay! Guests such as you make it easy to offer hostpitality.

In January I had the opportunity to stay at this charming Inn. The rooms were comfortable, clean, beautifully decorated and peaceful. Lani's breakfasts were scrumptious. Richard, Lani and Kerri were gracious and warm. I loved hearing about the native wildflowers and the area attractions. Thank you for such a memorable stay.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We're always happy to suggest ways to enjoy this lovely part of Northern California. In fact, I have a list of 101 things to do while you're here! Thanks for taking time to post a review.

We happen to be the only ones there that weekend. Very personable with a couple of owners who really care for their guests. Not only was the tour and history of the house a nice touch, the room was immaculate and breakfast was outstanding. Lani even went out of her way to give us a map of the Lodi Vineyards based on our wine preferences. Will absolutely stay there again.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We are so glad you enjoyed visiting the Lodi Appellation wineries. This area offers so much to see and do. Come back and do more!

What a wonderful historic home, great food, great room, wonderful hosts! We're looking forward to our next stay at The Inn At Locke House.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
It's fun for us to "see" this historic house through the eyes of our guests. We agree - it is a treasure of history.

The innkeepers are the perfect hosts. They are so friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the inn. I would highly recommend

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your review. On your next visit, the Old School House museum may finally be open. There are interesting places to explore here.

This was a weekend gift from our children and what a wonderful time we had. Lani and Richard are the ultimate hosts and the breakfast is delicious, what great memories. We stayed in the Water Tower Suite - private, romantic and unique. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to future visits. We walked to Vino Piazza to taste wines and to the Coyote Mexican Restaurant for dinner. Loved the location. Highly recommend the Inn at Locke House.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
How kind of you to post a review. Lockeford has intreresting places to explore. I'm still finding them!

Hubby and I stayed here for our first wedding anniversary. We stayed in the Water Tower Suite, and it was lovely! Lani and Richard are wonderful people....their hospitality is unmatched! Lani is an amazing cook as well...I miss her superb breakfasts. Everything about our stay was excellent, from the comfy robes in our room to the board games in the parlor. The Inn at Locke House has a very interesting history...it was fun reading about the restoration process of the house alongside the history of Dr. Locke. I can't wait to stay here again. Cheers to Lani and Richard! L and L - 1/29/2012

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
It was special of you to select the inn for your first anniversary celebration. I've got to get back to recording the restoration we continue to do. We hope to see you for your 2nd!

This was a repeat visit to the Inn and like every visit it was better than the last. Lani and Richard make you feel at home. The Inn is a wonderful place to relax. And breakfast is always a delightful time to enjoy good food and good conversation. We highly recommend a stay and get the Tower room at least once.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We're delighted you continue to grace the inn with your stays. Thank you for your kind review.

Everyone always says B&B owners are gracious, which Richard and Lani are, but they are also just plain nice. Even more fun, they really love the house, which they have been restoring faithfully for the last twenty years, and it has a fine history. Spacious rooms,inventive breakfasts, a lovely garden and games, and definitely one of the better and quieter places to stay if you're going to be in Lodi or Stockton.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for appreciating the history of this house which mirrors the development of this area. We look forward to your return when you are in the area.

We were there for only one night, arriving late, and leaving early, so this review may not reflect what one might encounter during a longer stay. We learned after our arrival that, while the bathrooms are private and quite nice, some are not in the rooms. For us, this was an inconvenience. We would definitely return to stay in one of the rooms that has an attached bathroom.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We so appreciate that you will return.

My husband and I were so fortunate to find The Inn at Locke House to help in our celebration of our 1st wedding anniversary. Lani, Richard, and Kerri have done a beautiful thing by painstakingly resurrecting the Locke House for travelers to enjoy. It's a beautiful and restful place, and the afternoon snacks and morning breakfast were gourmet! We loved every moment of our stay, and look forward to visiting again :) - Lise and Justin

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We personally love to celebrate special events and are especially happy when guests choose our inn for their celebrations. We await you for your 2nd anniversary.

When we arrived to check in, they did not have our reservations. Our reservations were never confirmed by the place, although we were charged in full for the reservation. I had a receipt with me, so I was given a refund that night, but I am still waiting for it to post to my bank account. We were able to get reservations elsewhere at the last minute.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We will check to be sure you have received posting of your refund. We hope to have you stay with us at some time in the future.

I wanted to find a nice place to stay very near to the wine activities in Lodi and this B&B fit the bill. It was about a 10min drive from our last stop(Klinkerbrick). Innkeepers are very nice and helpful with suggestions on where to go, where to eat, etc.. Room was very nice. There were always snacks and coffee, tea, etc. available and the Sunday breakfast was outstanding.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
The inn is fortunate to be located so close to wine taasting rooms for GREAT wines. It is difficult to choose a favorite. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you again.

This was our second visit in 2+ months. The Inn at Locke House was far more enjoyable and just as handy as the chain hotel in Lodi and a much more reasonable price than accommodations attached to the wine visitors' center. Our two night stay was relaxing and quiet. Richard and Lani went out of their way to make our stay delightful. The breakfasts were fantastic. We highly recommend staying at the inn and hope to return soon hopefully with friends.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Your return booking is the best compliment a lodging can receive. Next time let us know if there is a special breakfast you'd like us to "repeat" for you. And remember that we can host a mystery weekend for you and your friends to enjoy.

We stayed in the water tower suite and the accommodation more than exceeded our expectations. We stayed one night as part of a longer California trip and this was the best B&B we stayed in. Highly recommended.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for posting a review. Come back again when you have time to explore more of this area. We've been here for over 10 years and are still finding places to enjoy.

Truly a delightful place to stay - with very hospitable innkeepers, a lovely setting, lots of comforts, and best of all, a fabulous breakfast.

We enjoy making our guests feel "at home, yet far away" when they stay. We're now collecting guests requests for our inn cookbook. Submit your recipe requests on our facebook page.

Our hosts were just lovely people. They went beyond to make our stay such a memorable experience. We wish them continuing success in their restoration process of this most delightful historical home. Sue and Donna

Thank you for staying and appreciating Dr. Locke's unique house. When you return you'll be able to use the new brick steps installed on the front porch. And in the town, more places are being restored and put to new use.

I would definitely recommend this historic and lovely B&B. The house and it's history is very interesting and is also very convenient if you're interested in wine tasting in the Lodi area.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thanks for taking time to post a review. On your next visit schedule time to explore the Delta and the foothill towns. In addition to wine tasting, there are many things to do.

stayed two nights, really enjoyed it. Lovely hosts, went out of their way to ensure we had a good time. Lodi is a must-visit for the wines, they won't stay this much of a great value forever !

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
You are so right about Lodi Wines! Two new wineries will open shortly. What we like is the distance between wineries (chance to enjoy the countryside and stop at the fruit and veggie stands), the lack of crowds and the time the winemakers or tasting room hosts take with you. Thanks for the review.

Charming room, lots of history. Loni and Richard are wonderful hosts!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Can't be great hosts without great guests! Thank you for the review.

The Inn was charming and relaxing. Hospitality was divine. Our welcome tray of wine, sweets and savories was delicious and lasted us all weekend! Lani was gracious and helpful and although the hotel was full the weekend we stayed, we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. A perfect anniversary get-a-way...we will be back!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for your thoughtful comments. We find that the Locke House was built just right for affording its residents places to be together and places to be alone both indoors and outdoors.

Visited for one night - had a great time, the owners are super nice and very attentive. The property itself is well-kept, completely in the spirit of last century (but with all modern amenities!). And the breakfast was amazing, as well. Thank you!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you. We are happy that you enjoyed your getaway at the inn.

We loved the whole experience at the Inn, from the friendly welcome, the history, the amazing room and outstanding food. We can't wait to be able to visit in the future.

How thoughtful of you to send this review! We hope to welcome you soon again.

The Inn Keepers were great, location was ideal, and the room (The Tower) was amazing. I look forward to returning soon.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in the tower. I took pictures of the Sierra snows from the tower window last week. What a contrast with the daffodils and lillies blooming in the garden!

Wonderful stay! Great food and family. We're going back soon!!

Thank you for taking the time to place a review. I'm taking a break from weeding to respond to guests today. You were here to enjoy the winter - come back to enjoy summer!

The Inn at Locke House is beautifully appointed with orginial aniques from the 1800's. Cudos to the innkeepers, Lani and Richard for preserving a national historic landmark while updating the house, barn and gardens with eco-friendly materials and conveniences. Lani is a phenomenal gourmet cook and the presentation is divine. The Ecklunds are gracious hosts and present a restful, accommodating environment. High marks for this experience

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We appreciate your reflections on your experience. Hope to see you again, especially when there's time to tour the heirloom plants in the gardens.

Our little "escape from reality" was most enjoyable. The accommodations were first class, and the home cookin' was fantastic. The friendlinss of the people is the definition of hospitality. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who wishes to stop for a moment and "smell the roses."

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you. The gardens are beginning to burst into bloom so there's even more to enjoy.

Richard, Lani, and Kerri were very friendly and helpful. They treated us like family. They gave us a map to visit different wineries around town as well as let us borrow an umbrella for one of the days it rained. Lani's breakfast she made each morning was delicious: baked pear, egg nog french toast, and dutch baby. Kerri made a great egg omelet. People always talk about visiting Napa/Sonoma, but Lodi valley and Lockeford is where its at. Thanks for everything, Karen & Perry

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and exploring the Lodi Wine Appellation. The winemakers report that 2010 grapes will yield superb wines. Come see us again and taste more wine. You'll want to take day trips to Sacramento and Yosemite too on your next extended stay.

The room was super quiet, clean and comfortable, and the lodge itself is larger than most B&Bs, which allows for more privacy than usual. The breakfasts were delicious, and Richard and Lani could not have been more eager to please. We've already been back once and will definitely return in the future.

Thank you for choosing our inn as your "stage coach stop" as you travel from L.A. to Ashland. It was a pleasure to welcome you and we too look forward to your next stay.

We had a wonderful time here. The hospitality was inviting and if you're there, don't miss the tea. It's extra, but well worth the expenditure.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
For us, part of the pleasure of high tea is preparing the sandwiches and sweets. The other part is having our guests enjoy and appreciate that leisurely experience. Thank you.(Our tea menu changes monthly!)

This little bed and breakfast is in a very quiet, country hamlet. It is minutes from the wineries of Lodi and the mother lode. The rooms are beautiful and luxurious, the building and property are the best I've ever stayed at. Innkeepers are very friendly and the breakfast and service is unmatched. Better than other accommodations nearby that cost twice as much!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you for appreciating the uniqueness of the inn and the village. We hope to welcome you again as you venture this way. (And it's easy to be friendly with such gracious guests as you!)

This inn is located on busy Elliot road. If you sleep with the window open, don't stay here! It's too noisy.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We just finished a major window replacement project in our guest rooms for energy efficiency and noise abatement. Harvest time is a busy time in this area - walnuts, grapes, fall crops. But just to be sure...On your next visit book a room on the bluff garden side, you'll still enjoy the country air with only the sound of the birds! (And remember to play some of our soothing cds.)

We were visting Lockford for an anniversary party, and decided to spend the night. My wife and I did not have high expectations. However, after staying with Lani and Richard, we have found a great retreat close to home. Well kept and historic house, very quiet and very comfortable. Close by, the Lodi wine country was also a VERY pleasant surprise. Whether you are nearby like us, coming from Sacramento, or are from out of the area, the Inn at Locke House is a wonderful place to stay and a great place from which to explore the Lodi wine region and surrounding area! We will be back and bring friends along!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Like you, I am constantly surprised by the wealth of offerings to enjoy in this area. Whenever we can we venture out to events centered around harvest season. Come again, soon.

We only spent one night, but it was a very nice time. The inn is close to town for dinner and close to wineries for wine tasting. The morning breakfast was very good and the innkeepers made us feel at home. A fun place to stay!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
How nice that the inn was part of your "sentimental journey". Return to Lockeford to see more of our village's restorations and revitalization.

We spent just one night at Locke House on the weekend of our 23rd anniversary. We can't wait to go back. There was so much exploring to do on the grounds and even in the rooms and the house that we didn't have time for. Richard and Lana were wonderful hosts. The history of the house was extra special considering the personal ties they have to the Locke family. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. It's close to lots of wineries in the Lodi area as well as the foothills. Not to be missed!!!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We hope you'll return and explore some more. We just pulled out some late 1800's photographs taken in the garden that are begging to be put in an album and enjoyed by visitors.

My husband and I recently stayed with Lani and Richard at the Inn at Locke House. It is a warm and peaceful home with local history evident in each room. The late afternoon snack and breakfast were both wonderful. The small town of Lockeford offers a number of comfortable eateries. This is a great get-away from the hustle and bustle of every day life.

Thank you for including the inn as part of your birthday celebration. I love the pictures you took of the garden.

Dear Lani, Richard and Kerri, I wish to thank you all for such a wonderful weekend! I am addressing this as personal letter because the service we received was personal! We felt like we were at home (without having to do the dishes). My sister and I stayed in your beautiful tower room. It was immaculate, cozy and very much a surprise! We arrived to a wonderful bottle of wine and homemade treats. Your wonderful breakfasts served in the heart of your home warmed our tummies as well as our hearts! Richard thank you for the endless cup of coffee! I have to say my favorite were the expresso scones! Could I have the recipe? I took a relaxing bath in the claw tub one morning and wrapped myself in one of the cozy robes you provided. After returning from a day of wine tasting we came back to our bed made, room tidy and thumb print cookies! Lani, the last morning at breakfast before we left you shared some of your personal history about your life and how you came to be the homes newest keepers along with a personal tour of Locke House. I could go on and on...Needless to say, we will return! Thank you again for sharing your home with us! Sincerely, Sherry

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
You and your sister are delightful! It was a pleasure to get to know you. I'm going to include the expresso scones in my cookbook which I will have ready by winter. One difficulty is recording ingredient measurements! We look forward to your next visit.

My sister and I needed a "sisters" weekend and choose to stay at the Inn at Locke House in Lockeford, CA This B&B is a well kept secret from the rest of the world! Lani and Richard were warm and friendly and made us feel right at home. Lani is an excellent baker and served food which I have never had before, such as baked pears, persimmon bread, homemade scones just to mention a couple of her scrumptious offerings. My sister and I stayed in the Tower Room, which was spectacular, the renovation is impressive, and the decor was just so darn cute and cozy with gorgeous views of the local walnut groves, pastures and surrounding town of Lockeford. Lani provided a tour of the main house, and is very knowledgeable of the history of the home. The detail to the home room by room is outstanding, Lani, Richard and Lani's daughter have done an awesome job of bringing back this beautiful home to what is once was. If you are looking for a quiet and quaint get-away in the country, this is the place to stay!

Thank you for appreciating the wonderful Locke house and all our efforts to revive and preserve it! It was fun taking you two on the "tour". You should see the views now that the gardens are filled with roses.

This is a historic building, so I didn't expect some of the conveniences they've put in, like a gas stove in the room (we stayed in the Berkshire) and heated tile bathrooms. The bathrooms were really nice, obviously renovated. The parlor was nice but also comfortable. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. Probably as good or better than any I've had at a nice breakfast restaurant. I think I was the most impressed (besides breakfast) at the blend of historic with modern convenience, coupled with attention to details that aid a guest in their stay.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We are so glad that you were comfortable and enjoyed the luxury of the heated bathroom floors. Our breakfast menu continues to expand so you'll savor something new on your next visit.
