A 22-room bed and breakfast, it pampers guests with numerous amenities, including an award winning breakfast and afternoon refreshments. Their breakfast menu changes seasonally, based on what can be picked or acquired at the height of freshness. Chef Cale Falk subscribes to the 100 mile rule; that is the majority of his ingredients are grown, caught or harvested within 100 miles of Laguna Beach to ensure the best flavors and food experience. In fact many of the vegetables and herbs are grown on-site; the rest are acquired from local Farmers’ Markets and sustainable farms. The afternoon refreshments include wine, free trade coffee, organic cheese and other light appetizers. Some other steps the Inn has taken in order to ‘green’ their property include using eco-friendly cleaning products, providing linen made from 100% sustainable bamboo and utilizing an on-site compost.
