Historic Tudor-Craftsman Inn with Haunted Reputation - Santa Paula
Accommodations & History
Built in 1911 by the architectural firm Hunt & Burns, the inn features Tudor-Craftsman architecture with original woodwork and coffered ceilings. The 17 rooms include queen and king rooms, with some offering jetted tubs and canopy beds. Hollywood guests such as John Wayne, Charlie Chaplin, and Houdini once stayed here, and the hallways are lined with vintage movie posters and antiques.
Dining
Enzo's Italian Restaurant serves homemade cuisine, including house-made focaccia and a pig and fig pizza under new management. The restaurant offers table side magic and a Yelp check-in offer of free martinis. A small bar with a great happy hour complements the dining experience, and the bartender is known for excellent blood orange martinis.
Entertainment & Ghosts
The inn is famous for paranormal activity, featured on Ghost Adventures and The Dead Files. Rooms 307 and 308 are known for ghostly encounters-307 was the site of a card game murder, and 308 was the room of a murdered woman named Rose. The third floor, once a speakeasy and brothel, now displays an antique doll collection that reportedly multiplies on its own.
Pet-Friendly & Grounds
The property is pet-friendly and offers a scenic environment for walks, with a gazebo, garden, and outdoor furniture. Guests have access to a picnic area and a shared lounge with a fireplace. The inn's back entrance has a handicap-accessible ramp, and there is free on-site parking.
