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!!

Jerry SmithStaying 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

Celeste StaggsI just can't say enough about this place. I tell all my friends and family about it. They just put in a new swimming pool that looks so inviting. I can't wait to go back when it's warmer outside.

Leslie G.This is a great romantic getaway and so close to home. The friendliness of the inn keepers, the pampering, seclusion and tranquility says it all.....
Deer Crossing Inn
C.C. LacyThis Inn is relaxing. The quietness of it. The open air and sky vista leads you away to tranquility. For couples you cannot find cozier rooms with beds which make you melt into them. Go to this Inn? Romantic? In a word....OOOhh Yeah !!

Danielle ShawWith 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.

Clay ShawWhat an enjoyable time it was. The scenery, the accommodations, the food and the staff all provided for a totally wonderful experience. This was the perfect place to get away from the hectic world and retreat for a time of blissful romance.

Lennie SmithMy 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.

amelia jonesWe enjoyed all areas of this top notch romantic retreat during our 3 day stay. So many secluded areas to be alone. Not your "typical B&B", there are NO dollies here! Great food and even greater hosts.

barb sackett (2 reviews)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. Romance!!!!!! Yes!!!!!

Nicole PortwoodMy husband and I stayed there for an anniversary celebration and we had an awesome time. It was so peaceful and the place was immaculate. We loved the hot tub and enjoyed an evening in the tv/game room. The owners also obliged us so kindly with all our questions regarding wanting to own a B&B someday!

Yolanda NWe enjoyed our stay at the Deer Crossing Inn. The room was spacious, romantic and well keep during our stay. We were taken care of very well. We really enjoyed the signing wall and can't wait to read more of the guests comments on our next visit.
Deer Crossing Inn
Bill CohenSo 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
Deer Crossing Inn
Julie & JeffWe spent a very relaxing weekend at Deer Crossing. Just a few miles from our home and we felt like we were far away on vacation. What a truly beautiful setting and home. The breakfast was outstanding. The hot tub is out in the beautiful garden.
Deer Crossing Inn
Mark LukachWe only had to drive around 45 minutes from home to find this incredibly romantic spot to spend our 1 year anniversary. Cindi and Rick are wonderful innkeepers and made our weekend truly special and memorable. We highly recommend it for an easy-access spot in the Bay Area where you will be totally pampered.
