Today
The Hinds House has been a historic bed and breakfast inn since 1982 and today it is the best example of William's Stick-Eastlake style buildings in Santa Cruz County. The current innkeeper of the Hinds House is Brion Sprinsock, and the house has ten rooms for guests, including the attic. The ground floor has common rooms, including the dining room, the sitting room, and the parlor. The original woodwork throughout the house is intact and polished. Outside, to either side of the house, there is a large Norfolk Pine and a 125-foot-tall (38 m) Coastal Redwood. Rooms are rented by the week. The largest percentages of guests (33%) are visiting the University of California, Santa Cruz. The Hinds House is near the center of downtown Santa Cruz at 529 Chestnut Street.
