Amazing homemade German food!…read more We tried this restaurant on a recommendation while visiting the area, and we were absolutely delighted by both the food and the service. We ordered the bratwurst, red cabbage salad, German potato salad, potato pancakes, spätzle, and Jägerschnitzel. Every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. It was honestly hard to pick a favorite because everything was so delicious, but if I had to choose, the Jägerschnitzel absolutely stole the show! For dessert, we had the freshly baked apple strudel, and it was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. You could taste how fresh everything was--from the flaky, buttery pastry to the warm apples and even the homemade whipped cream. It was absolutely delicious. This is a great spot whether you're dining as a couple or with a larger group. If you're planning to come with more than five people, I'd recommend calling ahead to see if they can accommodate your party with a reservation. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Guerneville!

We visited this lovely restaurant/hotel for dinner on a cold Sunday night in November…read more They have a lot of weddings, as it had a large hall with bright lights and folding chairs/tables. Not inviting so we sat at a high boy in the darkened bar, which was much nicer. I'm sure it's beautiful to sit on the balcony in the summer on warm nights. We chatted with the German owner who was doubling as a bartender, who was very nice. We loved the German influences in the bar, as we had just been to Oktoberfest in Munich. The owner's daughter Sarah runs the kitchen. My husband had a pork tenderloin schnitzel "Vienna style" ($20) and I had a jaegerschnizel with mushroom gravy ($20) and both were excellent. We split the potato pancakes (two with sour cream and apple sauce, $12) which were served crispy but tasty. They had a nice German beer and wine list. We finished with a delicious apple strudel to complete a lovely meal. I recommend this restaurant for tasty dinners in a unique venue.

They have a happy hour, evening s'mores to roast over the fire pits. A beautiful pool even with floats to use and the hot tub of course. Nice lobby area to hang out in as well and breakfast is included which was very good. Just keep an eye out on your bill when you check out to make sure there are no mistakes in any charges. Very nice rooms and comfortable beds. Bring your own pillow if you can, as the ones they have are way to soft and flat. It's like not even having a pillow. All in all, a very nice getaway. Oh and your surrounded by amazing Redwoods!

We were very excited to each have our own rooms with attached bathrooms, and felt like QUEENS... I personally was in Room #6 upstairs with a cute little balcony. The bed was so luxurious and ridiculously comfortable that it made it really hard to get out of bed and face the day (side note: they are clearly brand-new beds and incorrectly spoken about on that negative review, so take that one with a grain of salt, SMH); Some had deep jetted tubs, some had ADA walk-in showers, something to accommodate everyone's needs! Each bathroom even had extra amenities you wouldn't expect like make-up remover and cotton balls - such a nice touch! One thing I was worried about was the traffic noise at night, but it was not an issue at all, which just shows that the insulation renovations that were completed really were impeccable and every last comfort was thought of for their guests. Access to the kitchen and laundry facilities was also a huge plus as well for last minute weather needs! I highly recommend this gem in Sonoma County when you book your next wine country adventure! =)

The host was very responsive to our messages, which we greatly appreciate. Unfortunately there were the good thing stopped. The bathroom in our room wasn't clean. There was hair all over the floor and in the shower drain. There were spiders and dead ants in the bath/shower area and random trash left on the room. The road noise made sleeping almost impossible except during the wee hours of the morning. The room itself is probably 30 feet from a major 4-lane road with heavy traffic. Overall for the price I was very disappointed in the state of the room itself more than anything. To the host's credit they had someone come clean the room while we were out for the day, which was much appreciated. If the property was quieter I'd probably give it another shot but the combo of issues really killed our stay.

I definitely recommend!

Equality Vines is such a gem! Not only were the wines absolutely delicious (I genuinely loved every…read moresingle one I tried), but the mission behind this place makes it even more special. I was so moved to learn that it's owned by Jim Obergefell, the plaintiff in the landmark Supreme Court marriage equality case. I also love that proceeds from the wines go to support causes that uplift women, the LGBTQ+ community, and other social justice initiatives. It felt so good to know that each sip was also supporting meaningful change. Each wine has a unique name like the "19th Amendment" which is so cool. The space was filled with LGBTQ+ artwork and it is even connected to a gallery down the hall. So you can grab your glass of wine and check out art Nextdoor. Lastly, the service was amazing. This place definitely has a mom and pop vibe and they make you feel super welcomed. We will definitely be back!

Speakeasy gem hidden in Boho Manor hotel resort!…read more Pair it with live, swanky jazz happening on Saturday nights and cocktails, and you'll have yourself a snazzy time! Perks about this venue, is to have dinner at the hotel restaurant that opens at 5pm, if you haven't eaten yet, and then head to the 1st jazz session at 630pm or 2nd jazz session that starts at 9pm. The Gatsby, Gin Hemingway, Old Fashioned Peanut Butter (I know odd, but so good surprisingly!) and Lavendar Lily are my favorite cocktails! One can't go wrong with any of their cocktails on the menu. Friendly staff! Wonderful riverfront view and fire pit lounge right outside of the speakeasy space! This speakeasy is a part of the Boho Manor resort and they have Art Deco newly remodeled rooms, dock with water activities and spa! One stop shop here!

It gets to be messy when you're trying to crack them open and the cioppino sauce gets flying everywhere, thank goodness they give you bibs. First you get garlic bread. It's a bit chewy, but it seems to vary by batch (the first batch was probably sitting out for a while, but the second batch was hot and softer). The second is salad, which is brought out in surprisingly small amounts. The third is the crap - and there are two types. One is cold and in vinegar, the second is the cioppino. The cioppino is great! I'd never had it before and was pleasantly surprised. They don't provide drinks besides water so best bring your own, but wine or alcohol have a $2 corkage fee. The people that bring the food out to your table are volunteers so tips are encouraged. A lot of the people know each other and come in large groups. My husband and I were the only party of 2 I think. Also, if you come, don't forget to check in to the person with the clipboard, while you're waiting outside. That way, you know which table you are assigned to and can sit down right away.
