Lovely property with all the amenities and the most gracious Host, Gail! This was our second stay at the Somis Inn and once again we enjoyed every minute! The property was extremely clean, welcoming and exactly what our group of friends needed for a relaxing girls weekend. We also had the pleasure of touring the Country Meadow Ranch with Gail and it was MAGICAL! Beautiful venue for weddings, filming and photography. We will certainly be back!
Beautiful property, poor handling of circumstances.
I feel torn giving this place a bad review, because had things gone to plan it would have been a lovely stay. The house was beautiful, the grounds were gorgeous, the pool and the fire pit were both appreciated and used. However, about halfway through our stay, the power went out. Three people came to check our circuit breaker, and determined it was an area power outage. They left with the promise to return with a generator. Instead, the property owner herself turned up, unannounced. She insisted my whole party get into a van and drive to her personal guesthouse down the road. I tried multiple times to say no, but she was so insistent we pack up our things that it got uncomfortable. Several people in my group were so uncomfortable that they left immediately rather than get into this woman’s van. I don’t blame them. When we arrived, her personal property was lovely and well maintained, but there simply wasn’t enough room for our 8 person party. When I asked where we would sleep, she said we would have to make do with the sofa or the floor. This is not what we signed up for. This is not what I paid for. I insisted she drive us back. The property was still dark, of course, since they never brought the promised generator. We tried to salvage the mood but overall the detour was so extreme and unexpected that it ruined the experience. What’s worse, apparently the power goes out in that area all the time, and they have no plan in place to ensure guests comfortability and safety. Beware too, of Vrbo customer service. I called immediately after our experience and all they could do was tell me what I SHOULD HAVE done (not helpful) and say they would ask the owner if she could find it in her heart to refund any of my money. The woman who insisted that 8 people pile into a van and drive with her to house, and would not take no for an answer. Needless to say, I have not received either a partial or full refund, and I don’t expect to.
We stayed at the Somis Inn for a friends quaint bridal shower/girls weekend and had the best experience! Gail was accommodating and flexible, the property was clean and had all the amenities so that we didn’t leave even once! We are returning for another visit later this year and Gail was extremely helpful in adjusting our stay when a family emergency happened. Somis Inn is a very special place!

About the host
Hosted by Gail Claridge
My name is Gail Claridge and I live on Countrymeadow Ranch... 45 acres right next to the Somis Inn. I have been a successful interior designer for 40 years and my own home, a restored barn, and much of my work has been published in several architectural and design magazines. I love living the Somis lifestyle. It is a hidden gem an hour north of L.A. and an hour south of Santa Barbara. I have retired from design work and I am excited to offer my Countrymeadow Ranch for exclusive weddings and events! Go to Countrymeadowranch.com and enjoy the view.....
Why they chose this property
My family and I purchased his craftsman-style home last year. It sits in a quiet, retreat-like area, surrounded by lemon and avocado orchards. After fully remodeling and decorating the home, we knew it would be a wonderful addition to our wedding venue, Countrymeadow Ranch. The Somis Inn is located just a few yards away and sleeps 10. Perfect for your bridal party, guests, and friends. We welcome you to our very special home.......
