The Respite Inn is a bed and breakfast inn offering out of home respite care to adults with developmental disabilities. Parents know their child is receiving the best level of care while at the same time developing new friendships and having fun. This gives parents a chance to attend to family matters or simply have time away from the constant care of a person who has special needs.

Nestled in a beautiful country setting surrounded by redwood and sycamore trees, this hacienda-like inn reminds one of the Spanish "Hosterias". Every room welcomes the visitor with its own unique design. The common areas are pleasantly decorated to make our guests feel at home. The outdoor space is a haven for those who enjoy nature.
