Our Story

Built in 1904 by a wealthy lumberman and shipwright, the historic Christmas House Inn & Gardens was designed as a place to entertain Southern California’s high society. This grand Victorian was home to weddings, celebrations, and an annual Christmas party so lavish it gave the house its name. The craftsmanship of the house – from the grand redwood staircase to the hand-carved mantels of the seven fireplaces – was meant to impress, as was the 80 acres of ranch and vineyards that would later give way to citrus groves.

In 1983, the old estate was restored to its classical charm, creating the romantic gardens in the acre that remained, and a bed and breakfast inn for small, private receptions. The house is once again a home to intimate occasions as one of Southern California’s premier inclusive garden wedding venue where all love is welcome! You are invited to become part of the tradition as you plan your own celebration.

Christmas House can accommodate 30-150 guests.
