St Francis' location near Gunbarrel Road is close to many dining and shopping opportunities, but the beautiful BnB still has a quiet, secluded feel, surrounded by nature. Family owned and operated, the owners genuinely welcome guests like friends and family. Breakfast was filling and delicious each time we have stayed at St. Francis, and included consideration for our dietary needs. We love staying at St. Francis Cottage!

What a beautiful, peaceful place. They had everything we needed to feel comfortable, the rooms were spacious and well appointed, each room had its own unique, yet tasteful decor. The breakfast was wonderful, the hosts friendly and helpful. The property was also terrific, its right off the freeway, but feels like you are in the mountains (or the English Garden... I cannot decide)
