We had the joy of going to Catalina for Mothers Day and happen upon the Old Turner Inn. A pleasure to stay at and a great comfortable home base to explore the Island. The clean and comfortable rooms, cosy living room and great breakfast were more than what we expected (even after having read many good reviews). We were entertained... More

The Old Turner Inn is the place to stay while visiting Catalina Island. It's location is off the main street, but close enough that one can walk to nearly all of the restaurants and activities. As soon as you arrive, the staff makes you feel like an old " best friend". They make sure that all of your needs are... More

The Old Turner Inn is a beautiful B&B just a few blocks from all the shops and restaurants in Avalon. It's location allows for more peace and quiet, yet it's only a short walk away from all the activities in Avalon. We were only able to stay one night, and Kathleen was able to accommodate us nicely. We were able... More

This B & B is a great find and the good reviews are definitely warranted. Guests are made so welcome, it's easy to imagine you are staying with friends. The wine & hors d'oeuvres hour at 5pm is a nice time to get to know what's going on in Avalon and to mix with other guests. The location is perfect,... More

I just returned from Avalon on Catalina Island and we stayed in a beautiful Bed and Breakfast called the Old Turner Inn. We spent 3 nights in the Queen Room and it was heavenly. The room was decorated sooo prettily with lovely lace curtains. It had a beautiful attached sun porch which overlooked the city of Avalon. The room was... More

My wife and I were lucky to find this place searching the net. Never stayed at a B&B before and a little apprehensive. No need. This place was a dream come true. Gina, the Turner's daughter was an incredible host as well as making incredible breakfasts fo our stay. My wife thought the bed was to firm but when she... More

We stayed at the Old Turner Inn with our grandkids during Spring Break. The King Suite was perfect for a family of 4. The Inn was clean, beautifully decorated & very comfortable. Kathleen & Christa was so helpful, each breakfast was delicious! We couldn't ask for anything more! We will definitely stay here again! More

We have stayed in many inns around the world but found the Old Turner Inn to be so much more than a place to stay! Our hosts, Kathleen and then Crista, welcomed us like family and introduced us to their family and friends during our week there. We met wonderful guests over delicious full breakfasts every morning (after early early... More

Our lovely daughter Susan treated her Dad and I to an overnight at the Old Turner Inn for a joint birthday present. This was "our kind of place,"--warm, friendly, homelike, with comfortable rooms, and a fantastic breakfast. A charming home and visit. We were fortunate to have Kathleen host us. She told us so much about the property, it's background,... More
