The Secret Garden is one of Santa Barbara's oldest inns, formerly called the Blue Quail. The inn consists of a main house and four cottages set in a lush jasmine, Jacaranda and camellia filled garden. The intertwined branches of the Persimmon, Avocado and Pecan trees combined with the high hedges and private lawns add to the secrecy of the garden while Hummingbirds, blue jays and trickle of fountains add peace and tranquillity. All eleven rooms have private bathrooms and four of the suites have a private outdoor Hot Tub.

My husband and I stayed 5/3-5/2013 in the Mockingbird Cottage at the Secret Garden Inn and Cottages. We stayed there on our honeymoon 20 years ago when it was called the Blue Quail Inn. 20 years later we found it to be just as quaint and perfect for a little get away. We enjoyed walking around the pier and shops in town and saw a couple of movies. Sunday we went to a succulent plant show at a local park. Wonderful weekend! (We did not eat breakfast-I would have liked to but my husband wanted a heartier breakfast so we ate at a restaurant that was walking distance. We did have the coffee and juice and that was nice to have available)
5 out of 5Secret Garden Inn is great value and a wonderful stay!

Everything was wonderful. Check in/Check out was seemless and simple. The snacks and food were great, the setting was beautiful. The room was private and clean. The people were lovely. I would highly recommend Secret Garden Inn and Cottages to anyone.

My 2 day stay was quite pleasant. Absolutely delicious breakfasts and pre-dinner wine with cheeses topped off the stay. What a welcoming and relaxing abode.

This is our third visit, and we feel so lucky to have found Secret Garden! Adorable cottages, with private hot tubs, and this one had a fireplace and extra sitting room. Dominique is so welcoming and helpful -- excellent breakfasts both mornings (quiche, fruit, homemade scones and persimmon pudding). We highly recommend!!

Our cottage was lovely with our own spa on our private deck. The inn was in a secluded residential area but was within walking distance of downtown and the waterfront. The owner and innkeeper were very hospitable and made our stay very enjoyable. Everything was very laid back and low key. I hope to return every year for our anniversary.
