    Incredible Stay

    May 18, 2013

    This was the perfect getaway for me and my wife - quiet, beautiful, and close proximity to wine country. Richard and Lani are incredible hosts - they were so accommodating and could not have been kinder. Lani's breakfasts were absolutely delicious and used farm fresh ingredients. I cannot wait to come back some time soon. Highly recommend for any couple looking for a relaxing getaway!

    Like coming home

    May 13, 2013

    I had a wonderful stay at the Inn at Locke House. It was a lovely experience. Richard and Lani are both so delightful. I felt like I was coming home the way they doted over me! The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was truly amazing. Lani made me home-made waffles from sour dough starter along with a fresh fruit topped with crème fraîche mixed with almond extract and honey! I would highly recommend it as a lovely alternative to an impersonal hotel. I will definitely stay there again.

    Innkeeper Response
    Ah, it was a pleasure to cook your breakfast! When you book again, remind me of that breakfast so that I can prepare a different menu to suit your experienced palate. It was fun to discuss wine and food pairings with you.

    UNIQUE EXPERIENCE!

    April 30, 2013

    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.

    Innkeeper Response
    It's always fun for us to have guests who appreciate the history and restoration of this house. The Water Tower Suite is unique. You'll appreciate the sunrise and sunset views from the top of the tower.
