Brian and Dana provided us a welcoming and comfortable stay at Sonoma Orchid while celebrating our 15th year anniversary. The property is conveniently located between the coast and vineyards. When you are not touring, the plants and flowers on the property are so lovely, you'll just want to spend a quiet morning or evening taking it all in. We hope... More

It's the intangibles that add so much enjoyment to a stay here. The home is well decorated and inviting. The added value is the warm welcome by one of the hosts, being shown the guest mini-kitchen with refrigerator for guests, and offered fresh baked homemade cookies upon arrival. Brian and Dana know all the special tours and places to see... More

The Sonoma Orchid Inn was the first B & B we have stayed at and we couldnt have asked for a better experience. The Inn is perfectly situated between nearby wineries and the Pacific coastline at nearby Jenner. We loved the nearby Armstrong Woods Sate Park. Brian and Dana were fantastic hosts with plenty of suggestions on what to see,... More

This was the second time we stayed at the Sonoma Orchid Inn and it was as good as the first. Their inn is settled in the Russian River Valley within easy driving distance to some of the best wines and hiking in the area. Dana and Brian do a great job at making you feel at home. The freshly made... More

My fiance and I were looking for a romantic get away, and we were delighted with the Sonoma Orchid Inn. This bed and breakfast was in a charming old farmhouse, but it was very well renovated and maintained. The hosts - Brian & Dana - treat you like you're their favorite relative that they want to impress. Dana is an... More

We stumbled upon a hidden gem when searching for a B&B in the Sonoma area. While booking, Brian was extremely helpful in planning our visit, and when we arrived Brian and Dana proved to be so much more than inn-keepers. The food was delicious, the grounds were beautiful, and their recommendations for planning our days were perfect! We highly recommend... More

You have to know the difference between sonoma and Napa to love it here. Sonoma is quieter, more funky, more casual...and the Sonoma Orchid is great. Brian and Dana are great hosts. Dana makes the best Belgian waffles ever...they are so light they float. Brian drew a winery tour for us and we had a great time following his suggestions.... More

It was like he knew us! Our question about canoeing on the Russian River was answered completely, giving us 3 choices and listing the... More

Innkeepers Brian and Dana give their all to help you have a great stay in the Russian River Valley. They are generous with their time and knowledgeable about the area's offerings. As all the other reviewers mention, the breakfast is terrific, as were the beds, the refrigerator full of beverages, 24 hour cookies, coffee and tea, and the creamy smooth... More
