Secret Garden Inn and Cottages

Secluded behind high hedges in Santa Barbara’s Oak Park neighborhood, this romantic bed & breakfast sits a short stroll or quick bike ride from Mission Santa Barbara and State Street. Major sights nearby include the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara County Courthouse, Paseo Nuevo and the Santa Barbara Public Market. Pet-friendly and quietly tucked away, it’s an intimate base for exploring downtown and the waterfront.

Housed in a historic 1905 property, accommodations include main-house guestrooms and individual cottages set within mature, walled gardens. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with TV/DVD, private bathrooms, coffee/tea makers and complimentary bottled water; some cottages feature a private hot tub on an enclosed patio. Housekeeping is provided daily for a relaxed, romantic stay.

Enjoy onsite massages, a communal hot tub and terraces overlooking lush gardens. The inn serves evening wine, cheese and hors d’oeuvres and later brownies with hot cider — small luxuries included. Free on-site parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi keep stays easy and connected.

Meeting and presentation facilities, a conference hall and tour/ticket assistance are available, plus express check-out and a safe-deposit box. Free Wi‑Fi throughout the property supports light work or quick business needs.

A complimentary full breakfast is delivered to your room each morning — expect French‑recipe quiches, fresh croissants, scones, muffins, fruit, coffee and juices. Limited room service is offered, and nightly snacks and beverages add a cozy, local-flavored touch.
