We had a wonderful stay here. It is our second 3 night stay. First of all the Lucinda Inn family are extremely friendly and accommodating to our many needs I.e. gluten free and vegetarian. The breakfast each morning was unique and delicious. We couldn't figure out how to play a DVD and it was 9:30 pm at night and they were very sweet to come and help us get that going. This great place to stay. read more

We stayed this past weekend for one night, as we were on a getaway for a special occasion we enjoy wine tasting. Upon arriving, we were told the owners were going to have a bbq that night and have another couple over. What transpired on the deck that backed up to our room and window, was nothing short of a frat party, which included loud yelling, profanity, and proceeded to get louder as the evening went on until nearly 10pm. We felt trapped, we almost left and drove home. The next morning at breakfast, we were expecting some sort of apology, but ultimately it was a big joke to them. We found out we were the only paying guests, the rests were friends of the owners. We have stayed multiple times in the area at other establishments, never this issue. Won't be back- read more

Stayed here mainly because it was close to family we were visiting. This place is a hidden jewel. Super nice rooms. Well cared for. Some are incredibly large, also twice the size of a traditional hotel room. It will be our new go to place when we are in town. read more

Super cute B&B! Very comfortable bed and breakfast with a great location if your wine tasting! We stayed in the two bedroom with another couple and were very comfortable. This room was remodeled and felt more like a quaint apartment. There's a common area that we hung out in as a group. They also have complimentary passes to local wineries. The breakfast was very good and we all enjoyed our stay. We will be back! read more

What a lovely place to stay in fair play! We stayed in the newly remodeled two bedroom suite. Everything about it was prefect and adorable. This place is prefect for a quick getaway with your partner or friends! It had a cozy living space that more than accommodated 6 of us. We were served the most amazing breakfast! The owners are so sweet and are doing an amazing job with this Inn. I can't wait to come back here and stay during the fall and enjoy their fireplace! read more

Lucinda's Country Inn - Breakfast pinwheel crepe - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Fair Play, California

I wanted to give 4 1/2 stars. This place is very cute, and the owners are so sweet and friendly. The service was amazing. I got sick and had to reschedule twice. The owner was very accommodating. The view from our room was very nice. I would like to deduct half a star because 1) the WiFI was horrible. It kept connecting and disconnecting. 2). The owner was so sweet and made us county Benedict for breakfast. Umm we thought it tasted weird (sorry). 3) the jacuzzi was very noisy. You can hear its loud sounds from the other room. But I definitely would still come back... read more

We love to stay in cozy Inns that have tasty breakfasts. Most of the time we are only able to stay in a Bed and Breakfast place when our children are not with us because these type of places are meant to be romantic and peaceful. Lucinda's County Inn is pretty secluded. If you want to get away from the busyness of life and stay somewhere beautiful and quite then this is the place. They are in the heart of the Fair Play Wine Country which means that you can try out some amazing wineries just minutes away from the Inn. There isn't many restaurants near by so bring some food with you if you plan to arrive before you have dinner. We stayed in the Vineyard Suite that had a balcony so it was a perfect place for us to enjoy dinner at. The electric fireplace made the room feel so cozy and romantic. read more

Lucinda's gets a rare 5-star review from me. The staff was able to squeeze us in last minute and sent great instructions because we arrived late at night. The rooms were spacious, and the bathrooms were particularly luxurious, with walk in showers and soaking tubs. I accidentally left a charger in the room, and they were kind enough to mail it back to me. Absolutely stellar customer service, I couldn't have asked for more! read more

What a wonderful place !! We were here with a group (having a family get together), and had a very nice time! The owners, Brenda and AJ, are wonderful !! So helpful, and generous ! We had several people with serious diet restrictions, and they immediately adjusted their breakfast menu. They helped with any little question, any time of the day / evening. Everything seems new, and we enjoyed our selves very much ! Definitely look forward to the next visit... read more

Loved the B&B. The room was wonderful and the community area has alot of games and other items. Breakfast was good and the 2 ladies were so very nice. Would recommend to everyone. read more

We were very happy with our stay! We had a family wedding close by, and our stay was wonderful. I had two small grandchildren with me, and the owners were so accommodating during our stay. The room was plenty big enough and very clean. I highly recommend this Inn as a nice and quiet place to stay. read more

What a hidden gem! Hubby and I decided to get away for a lil relaxation and wine tasting. Lucinda's is tucked in the beautiful rolling hills of Fairplay. Our room was spacious and we LOVED having a fireplace to warm us up. Sunny is a wonderful host and followed all COVID 19 protocol. She was very helpful with restaurant and winery info as well. Our breakfast was delish and filled our tummies before the drive home. The property in itself is breathtaking with plenty of room to roam around including a wonderful creek and waterfall right on the 11 acre property! We will be back with friends in tow! read more

I highly recommend this place!!! We had a awsome experience and sunny cooked us and amazing breakfast in the morning!

We love Lucindas! My boyfriend and i have now stayed there twice within the last two months! The owners, Sunny and Mike, have made their bed and breakfast so incredibly welcoming! They both have so many great recommendations for local wineries and restaurants which is nice since we aren't from around here and always appreciate recommendations from locals. On our last visit, Brenda made a delicious breakfast casserole served with fresh hot coffee. It was to die for. We already can't wait to come back! read more

Had a wonderful relaxing stay with my girlfriend at Lucinda's Country Inn this past weekend! The owners, Mike and Sunny, were great hosts and very informative of the surrounding wineries! We stayed in the "Vineyard" room where we found plenty of space for the both us. The room was very clean, comfortable and had a spacious bed, and a nice lounging area with a balcony. We were pleasantly surprised with the "Breakfast Enchiladas" served to us on our last morning before we checked out! Will be staying here again in the near future! read more

We recently spent a night at Lucinda's after wine tasting in Fairplay. A quaint little inn nestled just off a quiet California country road. We were greeted by the friendly staff upon our arrival and they were most accommodating. Our room included a deck with colorful a market umbrella and a kitchenette complete minifridge, microwave, wine glasses and an opener! We enjoyed a late afternoon respite under their historic Heritage Oak tree overlooking the property. This is indeed a charming little weekend escape. read more

I planned a surprise trip for my husband and I to go wine tasting for Father's Day weekend. I booked a night at Lucinda's Country inn, which is located in Fairplay/Sommet area. What a great place to spend the night!!! Lucinda's is on a beautiful property nestled in Fairplay by all the great wineries in Fairplay. Our room was "The Vinyard" room which was so romantic!!! King size bed, fireplace, walk in shower with people tile and like 8 shower heads!! What a great room!!! I ordered the meat and cheese plate which was excellent:) Breakfast the next morning was soooooo yummy. It started with a parfait, then Eggs Benedict and a yummy local cherry donut with French press coffee!!! Such a nice start to a day of wine tasting. The owners are the best as well! Such a nice couple with the cutest kiddo. Everything about this place was so nice you must stay a night and experience Fairplay. Such a nice community with a ton of wineries. Thanks again to Sunny and Mike you guys made our weekend soooo nice. read more

My wife and I stayed at Lucinda's Country Inn for one night a few days ago, but we did not find the inn owners friendly: We arrived at 2:10 p.m. on Friday; although, I had earlier said we would arrive by 4 p.m. Instead of welcoming us, Lucinda scolded me for arriving 1 hour and 50 minutes earlier; although, our room was ready. I had to forcibly introduce myself and my wife to Lucinda, as she did not introduce herself nor say "Welcome." As we walked into the inn's main house, Daryl barely said hello nor gestured to shake my hand. Upon making my reservation a few weeks earlier by telephone, I asked Daryl if his inn has a handicapped-accessible room. After my wife and I unpacked and settled into our room, Daryl grilled my wife of what kind of handicap inflicts her. (She had three hip-replacement surgeries in the past six years). When my wife started to make friendly small-talk with Lucinda on the outdoor patio, she turned around and walked away from us. The inn owners' pleasantness only softened when we were around the four other overnight guests during the Friday afternoon cocktail hour and Saturday morning breakfast. The inn and our guest room were very clean and well-decorated. But, the hosts' unfriendly attitude soured our experience. read more

Just got back from a great weekend wine tasting in the Sierra Foothills. If it wasn't for Yelp we wouldn't have found this amazing gem of a bed and breakfast. I called on Friday afternoon seeking a reservation for Friday night. Lucinda took my call and was very nice and described all of the available sweets to me as well as the amenities and rates. After selecting my room and giving her my information I asked if she could recommend any local wineries or restaurants that we should visit while in the area. She took the time to give me the list of must see wineries in the area and also told me all about the restaurants serving dinner in the area. She even offered to call and make us a reservation at the restaurant of our choosing. This level of service goes above and beyond what you'llever find at a hotel. Once we arrived at the end we are delighted to find a very nice and modern squite with all of the amenities and comfort of home. It's centrally located close to great dining and wineries. We slept like a baby and upon waking enjoyed a delicious breakfast prepared by her husband and served on the main level. Just what the doctor ordered after a day of wine tasting. We're already planning our next trip to the area to try some of Lucinda's other recommendations and will definitely be staying here when we return. read more

My husband and I came here for our one year Anniversary, everything was perfect! Loved the room and the welcoming drinks and snacks! Very clean and comfortable! Darryl and Cindy were very polite and helpful, giving us wonderful suggestions since it was our first time to the area. The food... it was absolutely amazing!!! Looking forward to our next stay! Highly recommend! read more

Stayed at Lucinda's for Valentines Day this year and was not disappointed! The grounds are stunning and quiet. We arrived a bit later than expected only to find Lucinda and a couple others guests socializing in the common room with snacks and pomegranate champagne. Lucinda was easy to talk to and so kind. After a bit of chatting, she showed us to our suite. The room was very clean, bright and cozy with a fire place, large open shower, sunk-in sit down tub (my favorite!) and large fluffy canopy bed, kitchenette and T.V. They also have a large movie selection as well as a few complimentary drinks and snacks. Over-all it was a perfect stay at a beautiful B&B. I can't think of one thing that was less than excellent. Lucinda is one hell of a cook, too. She made her own version of Eggs Benedict which were fantastic. She even mailed back my wine bag that was left behind. I highly recommend staying here if quiet, peaceful B&B's are your thing. read more

Stayed at Lucinda's for our wedding anniversary recent anniversary and a time before that and were completely satisfied. Rooms are very clean, spacious, location which is close to wineries is very convenient and the property is lovely. Food is excellent for breakfast. Room price is very reasonable, a great value. We will be back! read more

This place is a gem nestled in the heart of the Fair Play wineries region. The pictures of their rooms in their website does not do them justice. The rooms are so nice and spacious. Every room has a theme and their bath and showers are beautifully done. The hospitality of the host are warm and friendly, and they serve a wonderful breakfast every morning. It was almost like staying at a suite at the Westin. One of the nicest B&B that I have stayed at. read more

Lucinda's Country Inn - A gem in the Fair Play winery region. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Fair Play, California

I was received by the wife of the establishment outside the inn and asked her if she knew where Lucinda's Country Inn was (as I had not seen the sign and was unfamiliar with the area) to which she replied in a rude way "Didn't you see the sign?" I chose this place based on its previous reviews and it close proximity to my sister's wedding Venue. We planned for the bridesmaids to have hair and make up done here. The woman automatically assumed that we would be loud and rambunctious and told me she had emailed me to let me know that this would not be allowed. However plans had already been made so she was forced to let it happen. I was bound and determined to prove her wrong about our party and I know that I did just that. But during our stay, I felt that she "tolerated" my small party of three and certainly felt unwelcome by both her and her husband. She was rude about the fact that we had two cars instead of one and where we were parking, she told us not to "go crazy" with our internet use (even though my daughter had an internet college class that she was taking and needed to utilize it) she gave a verbal invitation to other guests at breakfast to return and take advantage of their promotional repeat stay discount but never extended this invitation to me or my party. The room was clean but very strangely decorated, especially the shower. The one positive thing that I will say for this place was that the breakfasts were VERY good. However, unfortunately, the attitude and rudeness of both husband and wife were uncalled for and I would not stay here again nor recommend this place to others because of it. read more

Sunny & Mike were wonderful hosts this past weekend! My husband and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary wine tasting with our best friends and then stayed at Lucinda's Country Inn on Saturday night. The rooms are so charming and very clean as well!!! The breakfast was amazing and Sunny & Mike are super welcoming. It was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend staying there!! We will be back :-) read more

We stayed here during the Passport wine event and really enjoyed ourselves. It was a 4-6 minutes drive to multiple wineries which made it nice and close. We stayed in the private cottage. It was very comfy. It had a nice big bed, a double sided fireplace from the bedroom into the bathroom by the jacuzzi tub, and a big walk in shower. There was a very large movie collection in the library. The whole place was very charming and the hosts were great. They had wine and snacks for us in the evening and made a yummy breakfast in the morning. We will definitely be back! read more

Our stay was there was excellent. The cottage was private and cozy. We loved the quiet and peaceful outdoor views. Breakfast was delicious. The owners were so nice and accommodating. We will definitely book here again! read more

Each room comes with a binder of instructions. All the answers are in there. You just have to want to study right after checking in. Right. We stayed two nights in a suite. The bed was somewhat uncomfortable. The pillows were like rocks. The sheets were heavily scented as if with a "febreze - like" detergent . Sleeping was difficult as a result. The suite was large and had a very pleasant balcony. There was satellite TV. WiFi was awful. Also, if you have an ATT phone, their Verizon WiFI is not compatible. Other devices worked to the limit of the bandwidth, very slow and spotty. The owner complained about "Bay Area" types expecting T1 broadband and wanting to download and stream. I was told to limit my use of the WiFi for email and light browser use. Really? The bathroom was large with nice amenities. There is small frig with a freezer. Breakfasts was uneven.. Farmers casserole was delicious; Eggs Benedict were not. Baked goods were tasty. The entry and egress to the hotel is down (and up) a very steep slope - no big deal after you do it once. I can see where people would love this place and many seem to based on the reviews that brought us here. Be aware that if you are in the area for wine tastings, the Inn is nicely located. For many other area activities, it's a bit out of the way. For me, the scented sheets, hard pillows, poor WiFi access and attitude, and erratic breakfasts didn't justify even the mid-week discounted rate. read more

We arrived at Lucinda's late on a Friday night. Snacks (ham & turkey roll-ups with cream cheese, mushroom tarts, cranberry nut cookies, cranberry thumbprints) and champagne awaited us in a gorgeous room. We stayed in the Vineyard Suite. It was incredibly quiet and comfortable. We were served an amazing breakfast: juices, berry parfait, banana muffins, butterscotch cake, and country eggs benedict. We sat overlooking a tranquil scene, snow still on the ground. Daryl and Lucinda were very friendly. We had to leave Saturday for my work Christmas party and were very tempted to just book another night and skip the party altogether. It was truly one of the most peaceful stays I've ever had. We're definitely going back when we can spend a few days! read more

We had a lovely time at Lucinda's this summer. The hosts are so friendly and so eager to share their knowledge of the region. The room we had was perfect and we truly appreciated all the little touches. The breakfasts might have been our favorite part of the stay! It was our first time at a B&B and they've set the benchmark pretty high. read more

We stayed one night after wine tarting in the area. First of all, Lucinda's is very close to some AMAZING wineries and a fantastic swimming hole. The Inn keepers are friendly, the rooms are huge and well equipped, and the breakfast was outstanding. We enjoyed breakfast in the gazebo for an extra fee. So nice and worth it. For the adventurous there's a dry creek bed on the property that is worth exploring. Water overtime has created a crevasse that is pretty cool. If you want to chill in your room at night they offer a library of DVDs that you can take back to your room and watch. We will be back in next time we are bringing friends. read more

Although the room was great and the hosts were helpful, the dinner we had with them was $70 for two. That dinner consisted of one small thin boneless pork chop, which we saw at market for $6 for 4 of them, some fried breakfast sliced potatoes and Slough House corn on the cob which was raved about. No veggies all starch so the me as l should have had a green veggie. An eggplant salad with a pico de gallo type topping. The appetizer was 4 small cut pieces of bratwurst with mustard. Not worth the price in our opinion. Also the wine which was $30.00 more was open and decanted so we didn't even have a chance to taste it or decline the wine since we had bought a few cases that day. They also charged $10 for us to use the sofabed in the living room which was not disclosed ahead of time. I can understand there are laundry costs, but we paid for the whole room and never changed towels or sheets for 3 days. Just a heads up that there can be hidden charges and even though it is a b&b we tipped every day at breakfast and the dinner as well. Definitely won't be going back. read more

Had a wonderful time at this establishment. Our room was lovely. Husband was really pleased with how comfortable he felt here.(Husband not really into b&b's) BUT...We were so happy... I ordered some sheets from them... They were amazing. Thank you Daryl and Cindy... We will be back. My pre Mothers Day was unforgettable. read more

Owners Daryl and Cindy couldn't be nicer. Each room we have stayed in has been clean, comfortable, and unique. Clearly, the small details are important to them, and Cindy makes a great breakfast! Great area to visit, especially if you like wine. Highly recommended! read more

We stayed here last summer and loved it, had two other couples with us, we all loved the rooms, are the largest we have ever had and decorated nicely.The B&B is near the many wineries in Fairplay. We are looking forward to another stay this summer again, hoping to book all the rooms for our Anniversary weekend with my cousin. He found this great place for us. Lucinda and Daryl are great B&B hosts! read more

I have now stayed at Lucinda's several times. Love the wine and appetizer hour Friday and Saturday. They pour local wines and the opportunity to meet and talk with all the other guests is wonderful. Food is good and the view is outstanding. I would not stay anywhere else when in the Placerville area. Just stay once. You will know what I am talking about. read more

We were very lucky to be introduced to Lucindas Bed and breakfast country Inn recently. The Innkeepers Daryl and Lucinda were so personal and friendly, even before we arrived - it was like coming to see old friends. Every detail was attended too, the grounds and the rooms were immaculate and felt brand new. We appreciated the special attention and warm reception which included a wine tasting much to our surprise. Every meal was delicious and we are so glad we had Chef Sean Sullivan cater a dinner as recommended. Cant wait for the next opportunity to visit. read more

Truly no drawbacks exist with this establishment. The owners and staff are not only personally hospitable but also cook great food. The accommodations are above average and amenities are superb, with an expansive DVD library, no corkage fees, and even free wine with the proprietors upon check-in. These folks are truly trying to create a family atmosphere and do so with true genuineness and love. read more

What a wonderful B & B! The rooms are spacious, attractive and well furnished. The great room is very spacious and comfortable. Our room had a very comfortable bed with great linen and it also contained a fireplace. Daryl and Lucinda are perfect owners and host & hostess. They are very knowledgeable about the area and activities. The breakfast was delicious and offered a variety of breakfast dishes. I highly recommend this B & B. read more

Yelp always says they won't remove bad reviews. But my review for this place (and my sisters') keep getting removed. My review is important and honest so I'll keep adding it however many times it gets removed so folks have a fair idea of this place and can make an educated decision. I got married in July this summer. Such a joyous occasion. And the day of the wedding is so magical when you and your bridesmaids are getting ready and smiling.... or not. My sister was staying at Lucinda's and I called Lucinda a week before to find out if we could bring my hair and makeup stylist and photographer to my sister's room so myself and my four step daughters-to-be who were my bridesmaids (all under the age of 19) could get ready for the wedding there. When you tell someone you're getting married, you have to stop because they want to congratulate you. Not so with Lucinda. She informed me that she was concerned we would be too loud for her guests and that we could not park on the premises and had to park at a public park nearby. And she was very short and rude about it. I was so shocked at her response but shook it off thinking she didn't know me and would be given no reason to be upset so it wouldn't be an issue. After all, I'm 43, rarely drink, am very quiet, and my bridesmaids are all under age and all of us are responsible, respectful people. When my sister arrived for her reservations, Lucinda let her know that she had sent my sister an email revoking her permission for us to get ready there. Only my sister never received that email. Vendors had already been contracted to show up there and we were hours from having to use their facility. Lucinda grudgingly stated that she supposed she had to allow it but let my sister know how very unhappy she was about the situation. The day of your wedding is stressful and hectic needless to say, this made it doubly so for me. We were constantly shuffling people back and forth between the park and the inn while trying to get ready on time. But the worst part was the rudeness of Lucinda and her husband. We were informed that we could not plug in too many curling irons and hair dryers and that we couldn't make a sound. So it was on the day of my wedding, instead of smiling and looking forward to such a grand occasion, everyone was afraid to speak over a whisper or be seen outside. There was no laughing, no stories, no joy that day. Had I known it would be such an issue and we would be treated so rudely, I'd have been overjoyed to get ready elsewhere. As it was, she took a once in a lifetime memory that should have been a fond one and turned it into something ugly and negative. As for the room, it was clean and the inn was eerily quiet. There seemed to be enough parking for us but we weren't allowed to use it. The room was very odd. They were going for that open feel which meant the bedroom just didn't have a door on it and the shower was in the room along with a sink sitting oddly on one wall. The toilet and another sink were in a water closet. They were going for a beach theme but it appears as if they did the renovation themselves. The shower had what looked like red bead board that rocks were mortared on top of. And they had created a sand floor in the shower and surrounding area with what looked like epoxy and put hand and foot prints in it. The surrounding area of the hotel itself was not the beautiful area I had expected of it. The inn was surrounded with dead weeds. So definitely not a place I'd recommend. Had the amenities been awesome, they could have made up for the rudeness of Lucinda and her husband - no, I'm not sure anything could have made up for that. If I could give these guys negative stars, I would. read more
