    Outstanding facility, 'made to order' breakfast which is excellent. Innkeepers are exceedingly helpful in finding resources in the area.

    Four night stay in the Chardonnay room was lovely. Tricia the owner met us at the door and showed us around, introduced us to the african grey parrot rescue Bailey (who enjoyed sitting on my shoulder), and made us feel welcome. Our room was sunny, clean and quiet. Breakfast was made to order with personal service and delicious. Maid service was efficient and unobtrusive. I could not imagine getting a better value for what we paid - after four nights we were sorry to leave, because it felt like home. Will definitely stay here next time I visit.

    I'd come again!

    This is a lovely inn. Tricia & Jim are warm, hospitable, helpful and have created a welcoming, comfortable, homey spot -- they've done it, for me, just right.

    The Atherton Inn is the best B and B around. The attention to detail in the rooms, the service, and the meals was quite extraordinary. It is located in a very quiet residential setting. The owners' hospitality is engaging and attentive without being intrusive. We will definitely stay there again, only longer!
