With perfect hosts, fantastic weather and in a great little town, Brannon Cottage Inn was just the place to be on our Californian tour. Two days weren't enough to soak up all the delights! Thanks again to Doug and Judy for their warm welcome.

Tennis before breakfast, nice meal in the cool garden, exploring vinyards during the day (massage or lounge with a book to recover after wine tasting). Friendly people, quiet nights, our type of vacation.

Innkeeper Response
Thanks for your comments. Regarding your "spiffing up" comments, we have recently been closed for about 6 weeks (11/20 to 12/29/06) to do exactly that. We have completely replaced the wrap-around porch, put on a totally new roof, and added thermostat-controlled gas fireplaces and skylights to 5 of the 6 rooms. And we've replaced window coverings in 4 of the 6 rooms too. We hope you can come back and check out our improvements, as we are again open for business.
