Farm-to-table dining, spa, heated outdoor pool, and refined rooms
"This charmingly rustic retreat lives up to its name, tucked on a wooded edge of Sonoma wine country. Guests may be drawn in by the peace and quiet of the setting, but husband-and-wife Chefs Craig Wilmer and Amanda Hoang are breathing fresh life into the longstanding restaurant and providing an additional lure. Proudly espousing a typically Californian ethos of local and seasonal products, the pair’s culinary efforts—offered either as a compact prix fixe or a lengthier tasting—show care that goes beyond a passion for quality ingredients. Herb-laminated pasta is matched with foraged black trumpet mushrooms, while buttery black cod gets a Vietnamese-inspired aigre-doux sauce; to finish, a luscious semifreddo combining matcha, pistachio, and apricot." - Michelin Inspector

"Located at the inn in a quiet corner of the Russian River Valley, this is a splurge-worthy, seasonal prix-fixe dining experience from chef Craig Wilmer featuring ever-changing dishes such as bite-size tostadas, delicately cooked squab, and a reimagined baked potato. The property also offers a more casual, poolside eatery serving regionally sourced bites like fried chicken sandwiches and burrata for a relaxed meal." - Jennifer Maerz, Jessie Beck
