The Fainting Couch Hotel - Cobb, California

The hotel itself is flawless. Check in was easy / virtual either no contact needed. The room was stunning. Everything was immaculately clean. The room came with coffee/tea, a guidebook, toiletries. You won’t get a better experience for your money. Downside for us: no lobby or lounge to talk to someone if you had questions.

My partner and I were staying overnight and headed to Harbour Hot Springs the next day. I stumbled upon this adorable motel after some research. I’m so glad we ended up here! The rooms are well appointed, we had everything we needed, we felt safe and comfortable, and we arrived after dark and the room was nice and heated. A great touch, because it was quite cold outside. I’d recommend making the drive while the sun is out, we made it in the dark and it was a tough drive with all the windy roads at that time. All the check-in information was clear and thorough, and the staff was responsive. Took a little getting used to the contactless Check-in (getting mentally used to it lol), and it was great!

I live 5 minutes away and, having some emergency work done on the house, needed a place for myself, my mother, and our cat to spend a few hours of a stormy afternoon. Making the best of it, I started thinking of it as a chance to check out the local accomodation so I'd know whether to recommend it to friends and family. But although they had availability and their page said "pet friendly", I was told they would accept dogs but not a cat, even for a resident willing to pay extra. When pressed for an explanation, they said they "do not have a cleaning protocol in place for [cats]." Obviously I can only speak to the service and not the quality of the lodging, but what a disappointment having to go outside the community on the grounds that my four legged companion doesn't bark.

Enjoyed my stay at the fainting couch so much! What a lovely spot. You can tell how much intention and care went into the rooms and the space. Felt super comfortable and peaceful during my stay. Can’t wait to go back!

The Fainting Couch is an incredible motel! The interior design, decor and aesthetic of this place has made it one of my favorite places to stay on the west coast. Plus, the friendly and quaint town of Cobb is a breath of fresh air away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Being only a short 100 miles from the city, it's a perfect relaxing getaway. 10/10!

Wonderful gem in Lake County! The rooms were quirky and unique— meticulously decorated and clean. The claw tub was icing on the cake after a day of hiking.

It’s a perfect getaway!

We stayed here during our trip to Harbin Hot Springs and we loved it. The rooms are very nicely decorated and the place is quiet, perfect for a weekend getaway.
I forgot something in the room and the staff was super helpful making sure I got my stuff back. Amazing service.

The perfect romantic getaway. My boyfriend and I stayed in the Romantic Clawfoot Retreat. Love the entire vibe of the space. Moody. Modern. Sexy. The fireplace was a nice touch and we most definitely used it every night. The clawfoot bathtub is a must, plus, I am a sucker for a bubble bath. Plenty of hot water, which I know can sometimes be an issue. Not here. We sat in the tub for hours with a glass of wine in hand.

A small detail I highly appreciated was the dimming lights. I am very sensitive to bright lights and when I’m at home I like to keep most of my lights off so I don’t get overstimulated. Every light in the hotel room could be adjusted and dimmed, and I was overwhelmingly grateful for this feature.

I appreciate the Airbnb style check-in. Very convenient not having to do a traditional check-in, you just get your special code, and use it to enter your room when you arrive.

Quiet area. We went for a short hike one morning behind the elementary school. It was giving very Pacific Northwest vibes with a beautifully eerie morning fog.

Very much a pizza town, if you’re looking for high end dining, we drove down to Calistoga for a day to explore more food and drink experiences. Our favorite stop was The Calistoga Depot. The owner, Michael, gave us the tour and backstory to all of the train car renovations, each having their own theme. Very cool spot to stop to eat, drink, and connect with friends, especially if you’re a history nerd like myself.

We didn’t get a chance to book a spa experience, so that is top of the list when we visit in the future. I am excited to come back and experience the mineral mud baths and hot springs.

All in all, highly recommend visiting The Fainting Couch for a quiet getaway. It’s the perfect sanctuary away from home.
