PB hotel design editorial

Davy Crockett built this hotel — or rather, the actor who played him on television did. Fess Parker, whose coonskin cap made him a household name in 1950s America, parlayed his Hollywood earnings into Santa Barbara wine country land and eventually into the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn, a 21-room property set along Grand Avenue in Los Olivos that he developed in the late 1980s as an extension of his winemaking ambitions. The white clapboard massing, cedar-shake turret, and deep wraparound porches visible in the exterior image position the building firmly within the New England farmhouse vernacular — an architectural choice that feels both deliberate and slightly displaced in California's Central Coast chaparral, which gives the property a quiet, self-possessed charm. Inside, the rooms move between two registers across the property's history of successive refreshes. The earlier guest rooms favor warm taupe walls, plantation shutters, tufted leather headboards in cream, and sisal carpeting beside stone fireplaces — a cozy, traditional California wine country formula. More recent updates introduce matte-black four-poster frames, wide-plank oak flooring, distressed leather upholstered beds with nailhead detailing, and brass geometric pendant fixtures that pull the interiors toward a sharper contemporary sensibility without abandoning warmth. The dining room, softened by large fiddle-leaf fig specimens and Windsor-style chairs in walnut and black, sits lightly on its bleached oak floors — the kind of room that makes the valley feel close without trying too hard to say so.

About

When Fess Parker purchased the 714-acre Foxen Canyon Ranch in 1988, he planned to run cattle, plant a few acres of vineyard, and perhaps, someday, establish a small winery. His dream was to start a family business that he could pass on to future generations.

"This is a great hotel! Service was phenomenal and the room was great. Highly recommend. You can walk to everywhere and the smaller towns are only 10 min away. I’d stay here again if I came back."

"A most lovely inn with the best service. I decided to upgrade our room at the last minute. The best decision ever! The room was so spacious, warmed by a beautiful fireplace, with a complimentary bottle of wine upon arrival, and THE best bed. Stephanie was so lovely upon check in and check out - even allowing a later check out. I cannot say enough good things about this Inn. I will definitely be back!"

"My sister and I stayed at the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn on Friday and Saturday (July 24th and the 25th) as we were attending my nieces wedding that just happened to also be at the Fess Parker Winery. To say that the wedding was beautiful and joyous would be an understatement as my niece and new nephew in law beamed as they took their vows. My niece especially was radiant!!! About the Inn ... Easy a 7 star property and I have traveled extensively for work an have had the privilege to stay at many 5+ star properties around the globe. Fess Parker Wine Country Inn does not disappoint from the moment you drive up to the property. Charming doesn't begin to do it justice, it's beautiful, the front desk staff is courteous and welcoming. No detail is overlooked from the quality of the bedding and linen's to the décor and the bathroom amenities. Thank you for the steamer in the room, I was on "dress" duty. The grounds are meticulously maintained and the pool and adjacent outdoor "living room" a great place for a swim our lounging with a good book. The restaurant is exquisite and the bar lively (Go Dodger's!). Cannot wait to return, I highly recommend this property."

"We stayed at the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn over the weekend, and it was a lovely time! From pre-arrival communication experience to being on site, staff were professional and friendly and fast responsive. The rooms and in room amenities were adorable and very clean. The location is very charming with several wineries within walking distance. The Nella Kitchen on site restaurant atmosphere was also lovely. We rented e-bikes from across the street and e-biked the wine country down to Solvang. Great weekend getaway to unplug and relax."
