Beautiful hotel and grounds!

The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and food was very fresh. Grounds were amazing. We enjoyed the pickleball, putting green and pool. Close enough to Healdsburg square to walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would like to return.

We had a great time at The Ruse. This was the best stay we had on our California road trip! Every member of the staff was incredibly helpful and kind. The groundskeeper, both front desk workers, and chef for breakfast specially went above and beyond to make sure our stay was incredible.
