The sleepy town of Los Alamos has become a popular destination in Santa Ynez Valley in recent years thanks to its small collection of boutique wineries and restaurants that would be in high demand anywhere, all of which is contained in a three block stretch of “downtown” that literally has no stop lights. Utilizing original storefronts for each establishment, Los Alamos still proudly clings to its history as an old-west stagecoach town and that’s one of the main reasons behind its charm.
Another reason is the Victorian Mansion Bed and Breakfast! As its namesake would suggest, the property certainly looks like a majestic Victorian mansion from the outside, but get ready to slide down the rabbit hole once you step within. That’s because each of its six suites is themed to a particular era or genre. Current suites include a gypsy, Egyptian, Roman, French, and pirate theme (with two more suites on the way that will have a treehouse and hobbit theme). But its flagship room is undoubtably the 50s Suite which we had the pleasure of staying in recently.
Complete with a retrofitted Cadillac convertible that doubles as your bed, a projection screen in front of said-Cadillac that’ll make you feel like you’re sitting at the drive-in (a selection of 50s era & wine-themed movies provided), neon-lights & a formica table that make you feel like you’re sitting in a 50s diner, car-trunk vanity, a fire place, an interior hot tub, continental breakfast delivered each morning through your room’s dumbwaiter, and you have an experience that’s worth the journey all by itself!
