My husband and I loved our visit to this Inn. It was our first time and the food was fabulous, we walked, wattled away from the table. The hot tub was just the thing we needed to relax and be cozy!! With a bottle of complimentary specialty wine we appreciated the awesome hospitality~! We are wanting to get out there again!!

Staying at the Deer Crossing Inn is the ultimate way to experience romance in a tranquil woodsy setting. Rick and Cindi offer relaxation, a much slower pace, fantastic hospitality and the tastiest B&B breakfast I've ever had. My wife and I keep coming back for all of the above. It just doesn't get any better than this. Thanks so much to Cindi and Rick

With two kids with ridiculous schedules, my husband and I don't get very much alone time. We were able to treat ourselves to a quick getaway not too far from home. I have stayed in many B&Bs and this one wins the prize! Secluded, great food, great service and ambiance. Thank you Cindi and Rick for making our romantic getaway so special.

My husband and I stayed here for one of our anniversary's. Cindy and Rick had just opened there place in 2007. We so enjoyed our stay at this beautiful place. Our first stay was in the Majors room which is in the main house. Our choice for rooms is the Hitching Post because you have more privacy and it's very romantic. Your breakfast is served in the room unless you request to have it up the hill at the main house. You can't beat the kindness and service from Cindy and Rick. We have stayed here 6 times now and won't be the last. Thank you so much for our wonderful getta way.

Deer Crossing is welcoming , beautiful and over the top romantic. Wow, we rekindled our 35th anniversary with truffles, champagne, roses and a visit to the hot tub. We nestled in our canopy bed while the fire crackled in the fireplace. Breakfast was bountiful and a delight to the palette. The Innkeepers were extraordinarily gracious and made out stay memorable.

So close, but so far away. Close enough to get there in an hour from almost anywhere in the Bay Area, but once you're there, you feel completely away from everything - except for the romance! Gorgeous setting, exquisite rooms, wonderful hosts, and a romantic getaway for you and yours that you won't find at a hotel or any other BB in the Bay Area (our humble opinion!). Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return again. Bill & Sharon

If you don't need a 4 star, 4 course dinner, ask about the nearby "world famous" pizza place down the road in Castro Valley. We'll come back not only for the romance, but for that pizza, too!
