“A bit expensive for what you get...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Set a few blocks from the main square, this B&B gives you lot's of privacy. We stayed in the cottage for one night in February. Our favorite feature was the garden, especially since we had a our 6 month old puppy with us. It's a wild english garden that would be fun to enjoy when it's warmer.

I did think the cottage was a bit expensive at $295/night for what you got...

-In winter, the cottage is either very hot or cold because the gas stove only has one setting.
-While there is a kitchen, table & sitting area, the space isn't very usable or convenient.
-There were ants & spiders crawling on the bed. And I agree with another reviewer, the bed wasn't comfortable.
-And one more personal complaint- the bathroom is carpeted, which I find not very sanitary.

I don't think we'd stay here again based on the price.

There is a control built into the fireplace to raise or lower the flame so that the heat is regulated. There is also a list of instructions posted in the cottage regarding the operations of the fireplace, TV/DVD, jacuzzi and WIFI.

The queen bed has pillow-top mattresses and a new foam mattress on top that contours to the sleeper's body. Most guests like the feeling of this new mattress but I realize that some will not either like the firmness or softness - however it is perceived.

I was more upset about the mention of ants over the bed. I emailed the guest about that and discovered the ants were near the fireplace not on the bed. I have had ants during the winter months and have an exterminator to deal with them but they can still appear in the winter, unfortunately.

I'm happy this guest enjoyed the garden.

“A Great Find in Healdsburg”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2011

We couldn't have found a more perfect place to spend our first 3 nights in wine country. Marian was a wonderful hostess, helpful but unobtrusive and full of information about the area. We took the apartment and found it to be spacious and comfortable, enjoying the private entrance and the lovely gardens out back. Loved the easy walk to everything downtown Healdsburg has to offer, and the "gift certificate" breakfast that allowed us to dine at our leisure in a great local pastry/coffee shop. Particularly for the cost, this B&B cannot be beat. Thanks again, Marian!

“Great Location, Uncomfortable Bed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

The Inn is in a great location, on a quiet street but close to dining. We stayed in the apartment, a little quirky. The owner was just lovely so it hurts me to write this but the bed was so uncomfortable. We slept horribly every night. The cottage looked newer and like a better fit for us so we may try that next time.

One thing I liked is that she leaves you gift certificates for the local shop. I love B&Bs but my husband doesn't like having to share a morning meal with strangers. So this was a great fit.

What a disappointment to read a review from a guest who seemed to like so much but didn't sleep well because of the mattress. The inn was closed for a time during the winter and one of the changes was upgrading the mattresses in both the Apartment and the Cottage. Hopefully that will make a positive difference with guests who want a firmer mattress.

“Perfect B&B in Healdsburg”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011

This is my review on Yelp:

My experience was great. I took the apartment and it was perfect. The room had its own entrance so if you didn't want to go through the main house, you have your own entrance. Plus you have your own large bathroom. What a treat!

I highly recommend Piper Street Inn. The decor is very shabby-chic and so convenient.You can walk into town to have dinner, breakfast and lunch, go shopping whenever you want. And there are two banks at the end of the street, in case you did a little too much shopping. Marian also has free wine tasting passes for 2 at some of the wineries in Sonoma (valued at $10 per person). You can't beat the deal. Oh, I forgot, Piper Street Inn has free wifi.

Room Tip: Apartment room is good for 1-3 people. Private entrance and private bathroom. Shared kitchen.

“Perfect Healdsburg Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 June 2011

Stayed for two nights in the Apartment. Perfect accommodations for a traveling couple. Marian, the proprietor of the inn, is friendly, helpful and unobtrusive, all at once. It is always quet here since there are only two types of accommodations--the in-house two room apartment and the freestanding cottage (bigger) out in the beautiful garden. Wine and appetizers each afternoon and a voucher towards breakfast at a local cafe in town, on the beautiful plaza. Healdsburg is a great town and convenient to three surrounding wine-growing valleys. Piper Street Inn is a great place.
