Very friendly staff and beautiful spot on the Russian River. The view from Room 10 was amazing. The hosts had a fire the night we were there and brought out smores for my son to roast. The beds were comfortable and we are planning on coming back.

Great stay at the Inn, despite a lot of rain! Our room was by the main road and did get some noise, but the main thing I appreciate was the attentiveness of the front desk personnel and being so nice and accommodating. Thank you!

We had an amazing stay. We came looking for a place where we could stay on the property, disconnect, and just breathe and this delivered. The views were exactly what we needed, and the whole place felt like a reset for the soul. A true mental break. Perfect spot to just slow down.
