Why Stay Here
The fire pit draws guests after dark, most evenings ending with wine and conversation under open sky—many extend their stay by a night after arriving. Families settle into suites with enough space for kids and dogs, both welcome here, while couples book the poolside rooms where the only sound is water and the occasional rustle from the creek below.
- Poolside rooms open directly onto the courtyard and lavender beds
- Full spa on-site with private treatment rooms and outdoor showers
- Dogs and children both permitted in all guest rooms
- Complimentary breakfast delivered to rooms or served poolside
The Experience
Breakfast arrives at the room or poolside each morning—fresh pastries, seasonal fruit, and house-made granola on a tray. Afternoons follow a rhythm: spa treatments in private rooms, then time by the pool with a book or a glass of wine from one of the nearby wineries. Kids splash in the shallow end while dogs nap on the grass, and by evening most guests have moved to the fire pit with blankets and a second bottle.
The Setting
Kenwood Inn & Spa's courtyard layout centers on a heated pool where lavender and rosemary grow thick along the tile edges. Stucco walls painted in warm ochre and cream frame each wing, and terracotta roof tiles cap the buildings in a style borrowed from rural Italy. A creek runs along the property's southern edge, audible from the garden pathways that connect the guest rooms to the spa building.
Insider Tips
Request a room with a private terrace to maximize your outdoor experience, where you can enjoy morning coffee or evening wine. The spa offers a range of treatments, but booking in advance is recommended, especially during peak seasons when the inn is bustling with visitors.
