I was traveling with my daughter, and we were almost tired enough to stay at the sketchy motel in Whites City. Only our hungry kept us moving. We saw The Fiddlers Inn, on the booking site we use, and decided to try something different. I’m so glad we did. The room had its own exterior door, a cute bathroom, awesome bedroom, and all were very nicely decorated, and clean. 7 year old was running around checking everything out: “They left us cookies! You can have my earplugs, if I can have your peppermint patty! We can read these books! I’m first in shower!” Breakfast comes in form of a voucher to cafe, 2 doors down. I had bacon egg cheese croissants, she had French toast. Then I had time to braid her hair, before heading to the caverns. Perfect stay. Thank you Jenn

The stay was nice and all, but its definitely a small area thats cramped and overpriced for what it is worth. The breakfast, like many stays, is very meh. They just give goua coupon to go to the breakfast restaurant next door which is very good but very busy. Good luck trying to catch them on time if you want biscuits and gravy! Other than that...the yard is very nice, the rooms are comfortable, and I absolutely loved the cats there.

This was a delightful stay. All the comforts of an AB&B without the stupid fees. The room was unique, comfortable, and well appointed. Comfy bed, good pillows, hot shower, good water pressure, very useful kitchen, very clean. The patio/garden space outside was very pleasant and the cats were affectionate and added a level of homey comfort. I will stay here again and recommend you do as well.

The room was charmingly decorated, thoughtful goodies were available, check in and out was a breeze, and Jenn made two (inteoverted) road weary travelers feel warmly welcomed with a nice cool environment. The whole property is lovely and well maintained. We definitely will be back on our next trip to Carlsbad!

Just one night but just what we needed

We arrived late, maybe 9:30, and Jenn had texted instructions with a key code so it was easy to get in. Bed was comfortable. The voucher for Blue House Bakery was nice.

Charming

Charming “cottage” with great cookies and cold waters waiting. Parking is out front, bed and pillows very soft, and a number to call for the code to enter. The clean shower was not too too tiny and the signage showed to flip a light switch, which also dehumidifies it. They left us a great coupon for breakfast at a nearby bakery eatery.
