We have stayed in several B&B's and this one has been very impressive. This is a quaint little place that matches the overall feel of Sonoma Co. This B&B was especially catering to our needs: Light appetizers early evening held us off for dinner (and they were great! Cheese and crackers, dips, cookies and fresh fruit) while sitting around a nice fire pit with comfy chairs, leaving water, ice and snacks on our door step in the evening before bedtime and even the little things in the bathroom like make-up remover towelettes for the ladies. Not many business owners remember all the little details like Les and Kim do! The tubs in the bathroom are amazing, largest one I have ever seen in a bathroom and it even had dim lighting over the tub for a great ambiance for romance. Before bed there was a cozy little day bed to curl up on in front of our own private fireplace....Recipe for a great evening :) Breakfast was phenom, not only for the Bananas Foster french toast, berries, yogurt and sausage but also because the chef, Grant or Graham (oops) is one of only 150 Master Someliers in the world. We got a free wine lesson at breakfast and he answered all of our wine questions. I truly felt much more educated on wine and which wineries to hit after our breakfast.
We could use their bikes from the Inn for a tour of Sonoma (which we planned on renting from a co and instead did not have to pay for!) and the wine card was great for the complimentary wine tastings all over the county. BEST part of our stay had to be our impromptu plane ride from Les, the owner! He called us the morning of our check out ad took us up in his four seater plane for a fantastic view of the City including, the GG bridge and Alcatraz...talk about the best way to see the city! He only charges guests for the fuel which was about $65 for two of us total for the whole hour. Les even let me (the woman!) fly his plane. One of the coolest things Ive ever done.
I would HIGHLY Recommend this place to anyone who wants an extraordinary experience in Sonoma Co. Enjoy!
