Great Santa Barbara Experience for a Large Group

4 of 5
Submitted: March 13, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Our bunco group (twelve women) take a weekend trip every year. The Santa Barbara Victorian was an excellent choice. Although the accommodations weren't on a 4 star hotel level, this Victorian house had the charm and amenities needed for our group. A beautiful dining room and 7 bedrooms held all of us comfortably. And the location! Just a few blocks from State Street with all the shopping, restaurants, and theaters. We never left the area, except to go down to the harbor area on Sunday for the arts and crafts walk. A grocery store (Ralphs) is just a block or so away. All in all, it was a perfect weekend. Thanks Lori!
