Everything was lovely. Should probably warn people about the size of the parking lot. Thankfully we bought my car. Had we brought my husband’s truck, or anything bigger than a compact car. We would not have fit in the parking spaces.

Great place to stay with jetted tub with mineral water in your cottage, ready to use anytime you want. Relaxing property in a few minutes of walking to the main street, still quiet giving feeling of being in rural area.

Darling little cottages and the mineral water is so warm and nice. My skin is baby soft after bathing. The mattresses are very hard, at least in cottage 14 that is the only thing we found uncomfortable.

What a pleasant surprise! The staff was friendly, helpful, and the room was clean and beautifully stocked with plenty of towels, comfortable linens. The pool was clean and spacious, and the chairs and tables were comfortable. I appreciated the little seating areas outside the cottages to relax. A quick and easy walk through sweet, local neighborhoods to the local grocery and all the shops you will want to see on Lincoln. I will be back to Carlin Cottages again for sure.

The property is very nice looking. The room was nice but it was very dirty. When we entered there was hair everywhere. We had to wait in the car while they swept instead of vacuumed it. The glassware had food on and smudges on them and the shower groute had a lot of mold. Unfortunately we will not return. Cleanliness is a big deal for me.

Nice vintage looking motel motor court a few streets back from Main St. It was basic accomodations but nice for a few nights. Ours had a kitchen, 2 full beds and a bathroom. Needs a bit of a refresh. One of the tiles in our bathroom was broken, shower was a tub shower combo with a shower curtain that just kept sticking to your body, since the tub was so small. Wall were thin so we could hear our next door neighbors very clearly. They were up late and early, not doing anything wrong, just having a good time but it was loud. I was there with a friend and we split the cost, otherwise it would have been way too expensive for a couple.

Perfect for 3, bathroom and kitchen need updating ( crack in sink, old flooring). Pool and hot tub were clean and an AMAZING temperature. No clean sponge provided for washing dishes, and a bowl was found in the cupboard completely soiled. Overall though, I would stay there again.

Decent place, nice pool.

Check-in was easy and the room was clean. The kitchen could use updating and the quality of the complementary coffee is poor. I know that sounds whiny, but there’s better coffee around than that. The walls are thin and we could hear the guests next door. The pool is very nice. All in all, a decent stay for a lower price point than other places closer to town.

Sweet spot really close to Golden Haven spa. Walk back and forth to your treatment and you can use all of the pools at both places! The handmade essential oils for the jacuzzi are lovely and all staff were great. Dog friendly a huge plus, even though we didn't bring ours. We will be back!!

Older property but very clean and safe. Unfortunately, they do not have central heating. Only a wall unit on the living room. We left the bedroom door open but was still cold in December.

Extra fees for using credit card & charged extra

Please check extra fees. I was charged some extra fees by mistake and then I was credited. If you use a credit card they charge 3.5% it isn’t listed at all on Hotels.com. When you get there they have a sign that States you have to pay 3.5% when you check in . ** So, even though my reservation through Hotels.com said that I only was supposed to pay $713 they charged me about 5%!! I noticed the mistake and I told them, and they gave me a partial refund for the 1.5% but still charged me 3.5% for using my card! I was given the option to pay cash and they would reverse the credit card fee, but the closest bank is 15 miles away in St Helena and closed on most of the weekend. I try to be civil and told the owner that I could send them a check when I got home and they could just credit the credit card for the mistake and she said it was too late that the reservation was already closed. If I would’ve known that they were going to charge a fee for using a credit card I would’ve taken more cash from home but it’s not noted anywhere in Hotels.com. Not fair and they didn’t really care. I have an autistic son with a small therapy dog and they had even said about a dog fee. Very sketchy money hungry.

Stayed 5 nights, no room service. Had to take out trash myself and go fetch fresh towels and coffee from reception. Pool opens at 9 a.m., had to wait for it to open. Parking is assigned, one car space per room.
