My wife and I have stayed at the Honor Mansion every year for the last five years. We hope we can continue going for many more years as we absolutely love staying there. Cathi, Steve and the staff are so welcoming and helpful. The accommodations are very relaxing and you can chose from many activities on the grounds and in the area. The breakfasts are something we always look forward to. Healdsburg is a very charming small town with great restaurants and shops. The Sonoma wine country is wonderful in that many of the wineries are small and if you visit in the low season you often get to meet the owners and/or winemakers. We have spent time at wineries where we were the only people there which offers a chance to really learn about the wines and the inner workings of the winery. There are other small towns worth visiting as well. Armstrong State Park has giant redwoods and is very quiet. We go there every year and continue to marvel at its beauty. We truly enjoy this marvelous part of California.

We had a great time in Sonoma this weekend. We are not usually big fans of B&Bs but our stay at the Honor Mansion was fantastic. The facilities were first rate, the staff was friendly and extremely helpful, the breakfasts were delicious, and Steve Fowler, one of the owners, was very helpful with suggestions on wineries to visit. Healdsburg and the Honor Mansion are in the center of Sonoma and a great point for the best in wine tours, food, and fun. Can't wait to go back.

My girlfriend and I stayed on 29/30-Dec-2011. We chose the Tower Suite because of the interesting character in the pictures online. We were coming from dinner in Napa and would be in late. Having told the staff that, they not only made it extremely easy for us to get our key by having extremely detailed instructions, but also left appetizers and wine from the happy hour early in the day in our room. We also walked into our room with music playing on the cd player and everything put together perfectly. Our morning coffee service showed up at precisely the time we had discussed in a thermal carafe on our steps with homemade scones. Breakfasts are legendary. In fact, everyone in the area talks about them. It is not so much the size of the buffet, but many other things. Everything is home made, there is something that everyone will love, and the owner is literally walking around with coffee and talking to everyone about what they are going to do and what suggestions/help he can provide. We were wine touring a lot and it was in a chillier part of the year. However, the property has a ton to offer (putting green , basketball court, bocce, croquet, cabanas for massages if you want to book them). The tower suite has a whirlpool on a private deck - actually I think all of the rooms have a (semi/fully) private deck of some sort. Sure, Honor Mansion is not cheap. But, if you want a first-rate B&B whose staff will do anything within reason for you, call Steve (owner) and his staff up and check it out. By the way, there is also a world-class winery (Seghesio) literally about a half-block down the road, and they'll provide gym passes for a local one if you would like to get a traditional work out it.

We came to Honor Mansion to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary in September, so this is a little late. We chose Honor Mansion based on availability during the high season as well as the strong reviews on Trip Advisor. It really is a lovely property with a pool and outdoor deck with a koi pond, though it sits on a very busy road (a country highway really) and it's not a super-scenic mile or so walk into town. It has the feel of a large B&B, with the staff serving delicious gourmet breakfasts from the kitchen that you can take into the cozy living and dining rooms or outside. We chose to have our breakfast in our beautiful cottage, which had a gas fireplace and private outdoor hot tub. There were plush linens and many lovely details, including home baked treats and fresh coffee by our door every morning. The owner, Steve, also has a wealth of information on wineries throughout the region and directed us to some great smaller vineyards. We were new to wine country and the staff was eager to help us plan our itinerary, happy to make suggestions and reservations for us in dozens of emails before we arrived. There was a sweet note waiting for us when we arrived, congratulating us on our anniversary, with a bottle of wine and a specially-baked cake. I guess my only quibble is the staff isn't on duty 24-hours and we had a problem on the evening of our anniversary when we couldn't reach anybody on the phone to help us with a problem. (They had locked some wines we purchased in their office, including a special bottle we had bought for the occasion). But overall there are many wonderful things to say about Honor Mansion.
