  • 12 rooms total, including family rooms with kitchenettes
  • Spa tub and library with regional guidebooks
  • Barbecue grills and picnic area for guest use
  • Kid-friendly with no front desk check-in

The Experience

Guests come back from trail rides or river kayaking and settle into the spa tub before dinner. The library doubles as a quiet spot to map out the next day's winery visits or read through dog-eared copies of California fiction. Barbecue grills set up in the picnic area see regular use, especially when families grill local sausages and pour Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. The terrace fills up during golden hour.

The Setting
