Our stay was overwhelmingly more than we expected! It felt like it was our home. The service was amazing. The apple cinnamon pancakes were to die for.

My husband and I loved staying at the Keleidoscope Inn - a gorgeous and handsomely appointed Victorian house in a serene garden setting. Our room was simply beautiful, the bed very comfortable, the bathroom lovely and spotless. The hostess, Beki, is warm and attentive, and she's a good cook! (If you're good and hungry, try her hearty apple pancake for breakfast.) A tremendous value. I would stay there again in a hot minute.

Great place to stay

Do very wonderful place to stay in an old mansion. The breakfast provided by the host and hostess were excellent both warnings. The most of the rooms are upstairs so if you have a hard time navigating stairs, this may not be your preferred place to stay. But don’t let that stop you if you wanna real adventure. Is wonderful and relaxing. There are a lot of good restaurants nearby. We would go there again.

Best Place for a Stay in Nipomo

Our stay was in the Carriage House, which was a room sperate from the main house.The room was spacious. Overall the grounds are beautiful and quiet. The only disappointment was as advertised as a bed and breakfast the breakfast was a disappointment from our stays at other B&B.

LOVED our time here! It felt like the secret garden. So quaint and you could really feel the history. The grounds were beautiful and we loved all the sitting areas outside to hang out and relax. Really loved the fire pit! Only complaint is I am very sensitive to mold and there were some signs of water damage in the bathroom- staining on the floors and rippling on the walls. That concerned me. Other than that- we loved every second!!

We’ll definitely be back!

A diamond in the rough and a beautiful piece of history in a quiet little town. I’m so glad I chose this inn for the last leg of our trip, the whole staff was accommodating and kind and the the inn itself was so cute and cozy. There was a wedding one of the nights during our stay and it was well conducted and ended at a reasonable hour. The gardens are immaculate and reminiscent of a fairytale and the decor offered mini bits of history of the inn. The neighborhood is quiet but offered a variety of restaurants and you’re only a short drive from Pismo Beach. Definitely check this place out if you’re anywhere near the area!

Love the old house and the grounds! Didn’t like that my bathroom was down the hall and served as the access point for the laundry room, and the toilet leaked. The kitchen appliances mention as “in room” are downstairs in the communal kitchen, not in the room. They provide a nice breakfast, good coffee and a selection of teas, fruit and a bath robe. Nearby Mother Shuckers restaurant was very good.

Keep Looking

The entire yard was overgrown, a 3ft picket fence was completely covered by ivy. The porch and many of the wood trim had dry rot. There was NO Air conditioning in the rooms, during the heat we had here in California. Our bathroom was 30 feet down the hall. Had to put on a robe and walk past two other rooms to use the bathroom.

Listing said in-room microwave and in-room refrigerator, as well as air conditioning (which obviously implies in the room). None of these were true and the room was just slightly larger than the queen bed in it. Also, the place reeked of mold. However, the proprietor immediately and cheerfully refunded our entire 2-night cost, which earned a couple more stars here than I would have given it. And to be fair, it really is a beautiful property, with a majestic main house and lots of lush greenery, gazebos, etc. The "Cottage" unit here needs to go back to being a storage shed, though! Caveat emptor, folks.
