Topper Motel
The accommodations were comfortable and clean. The staff is so friendly and wants to make your stay a pleasant one. The motel is convenient with a great restaurant right next door. I will stay here again the next time I am in Taft!

The Mayor's House, 5 bedrooms, Modern Luxury Cabin
This was the perfect house to host a few friends to celebrate a birthday. The decks were perfect! We also really appreciated the hosts fast responses to our questions and the fully stocked kitchen with a view of the mountains. A great gem.
