Designed and built by your host, Warren Roché in 1990, the Casa Blanca is his artwork, from conception and draft to construction and interior design.
The design and finish were inspired by the great flourishing of vernacular architecture in Southern California from near the beginning of the twentieth century to the Great Depression. Elena's classic Plein Air paintings, family portraits and the ever growing collection of antique Craftsman furniture adds to the elegant, but relaxed, atmosphere of the Inn.
Our most popular and affordable room, the Sylvia and Ramon Room commemorates the silent film actor Ramon Navarro and the elusive ingenue known only as Sylvia. Stickley Antique and Contemporary Craftsman furniture recall the Hollywood of the early 20th Century.
