Great location and nice spacious rooms. Would be better if it had more service given there is no store around to get water or breakfast. Restaurant has a good menu and the food is great but not always open. Beautiful property and grounds but pool was closed and there are no seating areas outside of you want to enjoy the gardens

Had a nice stay at the Inn at Zaca Creek. Room was spacious and well-appointed. Only issue was noise - I think it was the guest next door who was talking very loud at midnight and 7am but they do have earplugs in the room (Just didn't find them till the next day). Would recommend the hotel still!

Very cozy stay at a charming property. The property adjoins the Tavern at Zaca Creek where we had a wonderful dinner. Parking is easy, as is access to the property. The surroundings are wonderful. What can go wrong? Nothing. Nothing at all.

We LOVE staying at the Inn and enjoying the Tavern. To have these two incredible venues within the same property is a gift. We just wish we made it to the area more often where we could take advantage of the Zaca Creek Inn and Tavern. Steve and his crew are a well oiled machine that provides excellent service in a unique setting.
