    Historic House in Quaint Neighbor yet one minute from the 110 HWY

    March 30, 2013

    House built in 1887. Has lots of charm and small nooks in each room. The Victoria Room had a balcony that was windowed in and overlooked the pool. A great place to have my quiet time and coffee in the morning. Very relaxing. The only bad thing about the room is that there was a lot of furniture and antiques and not a lot of room for our luggage. The breakfast was yummy but quite small in comparison to other B&Bs. Creaky stairs that may annoy others but I thought it added to the character of this old house. Unheated pool had a hot tub attached that warmed up the cool pool for my husband to take a dip before breakfast.

    March 19, 2013

    This is the third time I've stayed at the Bissell House, beginning in 2005 when our ENTIRE family (27 of us) stayed there for Christmas. Janet and Julie (and their mother) are so welcoming, in spite of all the challenges of running a B & B in CA. We look forward to the next "excuse" to wing out to CA and stay with them!
