Attentive staff, beautiful, rustic lodge!
“We had such a lovely stay at the Banning House for our son's wedding in October. Carol was so helpful and attentive and patient with our large group! The Santa Cruz Villa is beautiful!! We loved it!!” 5.0/5 TripAdvisor, October 2022
Very relaxing
“Our second time staying at this charming, peaceful property. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The property itself will win your hearts with the breathtaking views from the courtyards and the overall tranquil feeling on the grounds. This is the perfect place to come if you want life to move a little slower for a couple of days. The beds were very comfortable and the staff welcome you like you’re old friends. I had an extremely enjoyable afternoon just reading in the sun on one of the side courtyards looking out over Two Harbors.” 5.0/5 TripAdvisor, September 2022
“My husband and I had a wonderful weekend at the Banning House Lodge in Two Harbors on Catalina Island. The Banning House was so charming, clean, and lovely. The views were unbeatable and the room was super cozy and comfortable. The staff was very accommodating and kind. Breakfast was offered each morning. Every evening from 5 to 6 p.m., the Banning House offered a complimentary wine and cheese tasting. I will definitely be back and cannot believe this was my first time here.” 5.0/5 Google, July, 2022
AMAZING VIEWS, GREAT HOSPITALITY, IMPECABLE SERVICE
“My first time to Catalina Island was not disappointing. Driver was waiting for us when we arrived to take us up to the house, that sits on the hill with views of both harbors. They will drive you up and back to the beach as often as you would like, except for the hour of 5 to 6 pm, their wine hour. You want to be at the house for wine hour, where they have wine, cheese, crackers, and grapes that you can consume while looking over the mooring boats and the activities going on below, from their patio. This part of the island is perfect for a quiet romantic get away!” 5.0/5 TripAdvisor, July 2022
“I have been to this lodge multiple times and not once have I had to complain. Right as you step off the boat you are greeted with a friendly smile as they offer to load your luggage into their shuttle and even on the way to the lodge it's a small tour of the island as they explain the wonderful history of Two Harbors. The rooms are very clean, I always stay between the Carriage room or the crow room. Both are mostly secluded. One of the managers , Carol, excels in hospitality as she will always take the time to not only fix a problem immediately but she just pops in and checks in. It is very comfortable to feel welcomed and when it's time to leave I look forward until the next trip.” 5.0/5 Google, June 2022
