The main building is stunningly renovated with all modern amenities and luxurious rooms that are impeccably clean. The grounds are huge for a hotel with 11 rooms (including their cottages). We felt like we were the only ones staying there even though they were fully booked. We enjoyed playing pickle ball, trying out the putting green and the pool and hot tub both during the day and at night. The newly built pavilion is beautiful and we really enjoyed the delicious breakfast that chef Craig served us in the morning (all included). The service and the staff went above and beyond to give us the very best experience and helped us with recommendations and bookings. Christine and Debbie were especially exceptional!

The only suggestion we made to the amazing staff was to add an outdoor shower by the pool. That way guest can stay longer on the grounds and shower off afterwards even after they’ve checked out.

Facilities are amazing, staff very attentive and friendly, most beautiful and high value breakfast included, relaxing atmosphere and beautiful design

Even though the facilities are as amazing as I have described, the price point is higher than the norm and comparable hotels we know and have stayed at. We would not chose it again based on the same price but would chose it again if prices were more in line with the industry.

Delicious breakfast, very accomodating staff. We were upgraded to a suite and it was beautiful and comfortable. We also enjoyed the putting green and pickleball courts.

I overheard that they are working on getting a license to sell alcohol which would be nice. It would be great to see the Pavillion (where breakfast is served) serve wine/beer and maybe light food during the day/evening.

Amazing property with stunning views and so much to do all onsite. The breakfast with a private chef was just icing on the cake and absolute privacy is incredible. We felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. We even walked across the way to a winery and bring back a few bottles.

Nothing we can think of. Everyone was so polite and helpful. We will be coming back 100%

Bocce! We had so much fun playing with friends. Majestic old oak tree lit with beautiful lights anchored this wonderful property. And the koi pond! How wonderful. DELICIOUS breakfast by chef Craig who gave an excellent suggestion to go out to Bodega Bay. Wonderful stay.

wonderfully renovated property. everything was clean and very nice. breakfast was fantastic. service was top notch - very attentive and responsive.

I wouldn’t mind a bigger breakfast - but we did come back from a hour long hike so we may be slightly biased.
