Why Stay Here
The Poolside Cottages come with fireplaces and private patios tucked into garden alcoves where lavender and rosemary edge the walkways. Upper View King Rooms sit higher on the hillside with vaulted ceilings and west-facing windows that frame the valley below. Both room types feel separate from the main property, which means you can disappear for hours.
- Poolside Cottages include fireplaces and private patios in garden alcoves
- Upper View King Rooms feature vaulted ceilings and valley-facing windows
- Adults-only property keeps mornings and pool hours quiet
- Dog-friendly rooms available with terrace access
- Glen Ellen Star and Basque Boulangerie Cafe both under a mile
The Experience
Mornings are quiet here—adults-only means no one's splashing in the pool before breakfast. Guests walk into Glen Ellen for coffee at Basque Boulangerie Cafe or dinner at Glen Ellen Star, both under a mile down Arnold Drive. The property welcomes dogs, so you'll see travelers with their Labs or terriers on the terrace at sunset. Concierge books spa appointments on-site and arranges tastings at Benziger or Kunde, both within ten minutes by car.
The Setting
The hotel sits on a sloped parcel in Glen Ellen, where Jack London used to roam before heading up to his ranch in the hills. Gardens wrap around the buildings—lavender, olive trees, sage—and the scent changes depending on what's blooming. A pool anchors the lower courtyard, and the cottages ring it in a loose semicircle. From the upper rooms, you look out over vineyard rows that stretch toward Sonoma Mountain.
