The grounds of the property are extremely beautiful and full of picturesque flowers and gardens. The rooms are spacious, perfectly decorated, not a speck of dirt and equipped with everything you need from toiletries to a mini-fridge and even some freshly baked cookies/hand written note to go along with check-in. The star of the show (if you don't count just the beauty of this place) is the breakfast offered each morning. You're greeted by some of the friendliest people and provided an over the top experience to start your day. Fresh coffee, yogurt, juices, breads, scones and a full meal are provided for you each AM. All these fresh and delicious items are served on stylish china to add a little something extra to the experience. The location is exactly in between the town and the wineries. Nothing was more than a ten minute drive away and you only need to take one road to get there. We throughly enjoyed our time here and plan to bring back friends and family to this hidden gem in Healdsburg!

Our very spacious room, named Amber, was immaculate and the owners thought of everything from having plenty of towel racks, a wall mounted blow dryer, conveniently located charging outlets, toilet separate from vanity area, well placed nightlights, pool towels, comfy beds & linens (Slept like a baby!) as well as the beautiful landscape surrounding the inviting pool! Also liked all of the decor including the Hawaiian shirt prints and decorative sunflower & waterlily art tiles in our room! Also, have to mention the eggs Benedict at the Costeaux French Bakery!! So delicious!! Best breakfast!! Yum!! We will definitely come back and stay longer next time to explore the downtown shops and restaurants or just relax and hang out at the gorgeous grounds of the Bella Luna!

My boyfriend and I visited the Honor Mansion on a Sunday, for a quick getaway to Healdsburg (we…read morelive in Sonoma County). While we aren't traditional "B&B" types with flowerly and overly feminine designs, we opened our minds up after reading all about the amazing experiences people have had at the Honor Mansion. Upon arrival at the Mansion we were greeted by Lupita, who is the manager of the property. She was extremely professional, extremely welcoming, and made our experience so special. The main Mansion is really lovely and had touches of traditional B&Bs (a parlor, a breakfast room, DVDs to borrow and a fireplace for chatting, rooms upstairs) with a modern, contemporary Victorian style. We stayed in Vineyard Suite #1, which is located in an annex near the main Mansion. The suite was exceptional. From the bedding (I think it was the most comfortable bed I have slept in and I travel for a living) to the bath tubs (TWO, count them TWO tubs - one a soaking tub inside and the other outside is a jacuzzi). A fireplace, big TV (we didn't even use!), wet bar (brandy anyone?), a beautiful huge shower that is big enough for a small family to live in, and a lovely, private back patio (again, jacuzzi tub). They anticipate every amenity and need you may have - and they do a great job at it. Wine was waiting for us in our room, but we instead enjoyed a glass of Dutcher Crossing offered at our welcome with Lupita. They also have appetizers in the evening in the Mansion. We walked downtown to Healdsburg for dinner at Valette, and took a cab back. Tea was delivered to our door in the morning with delicious homemade biscotti. After a relaxing wake up, we wandered to the Mansion for an exceptional breakfast. They have different specials each day - this day it was a Southwestern style omelette with cheddar biscuits (with a hint of jalapeno!). We also nibbled on fresh fruit and pastries. They can bring breakfast to your suite, but we loved the cozy breakfast nook and chatting with the friendly staff. Oh, and I forgot - MIMOSAS! They have the longest list I have ever seen of mimosas! We tried the mimosa of the month - pomegranate. It was high quality sparkling and the flavor was so great. You get two complimentary per guest, so enjoy. We walked the grounds and wished we had more time for bocce and warmer weather for the pool - pool side massage? Yes, please! We loved it so much we bought a gift certificate for my parents. Let's just say - if they don't use it, we will! An exceptional, romantic experience for fans of tradition and fans of the modern.

Each room is a little different, we had the garden suite. It had it's own private driveway, many different outdoor seating areas and an outdoor jacuzzi. The room itself was very cozy. Breakfast is served every morning and there was wine and cheese each evening. Every staff member was very helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. DVDs for your room, passes to the local gym or wineries, they had it all. The grounds are gorgeous and we took time to walk around in the grass and play bocce and try our luck on the putting green. So much fun. We had a wonderful stay here and it will be part of the plans when we return to the area, highly recommended.

I can only surmise that the negative…read morereviews are from folks who (a.) spent more than they could comfortably afford; (b.) have unsophisticated palates; or (c.) happened to visit on an off night (which from what we encountered seems almost unimaginable). It's true that one could purchase a serviceable used car for what it costs to dine for two when including basic wine pairings. If dropping $2k on dinner and wine seems like an absurd or rapacious proposition, SingleThread certainly isn't for you. If on the other hand it seems like a rounding error or a perfectly reasonable leisure tariff, you're probably going to love every last minute of it. Because the meal was so elaborate, I won't go into detail other than to say it was brilliant. Out of the dozens (literally) of dishes we sampled, only one was poor; it had clearly been over-salted by accident. Otherwise, every moment of the evening was pure, flawless bliss. One thing that I could be persuaded to agree with is that the overall volume of food is a tad too much. They could easily do with one less savory dish and the elimination of the second round of desserts. As it stands, I walked out feeling somewhat uncomfortably full. First world problems though, right? All things considered, SingleThread is a grand slam home run in nearly every respect. And that includes the warm and highly attentive service, the lovely interior architecture, and the welcoming rooftop garden. I will not hesitate to recommend this amazing culinary oasis to friends and family for a long time to come.

While it is somewhat of a walk to the closest nearby wineries (and W.

And if you want to just relax and spend time out in the vines themselves, this is the spot as it literally sits on the edge of a Zinfandel vineyard. The Cottage itself is comfortable, quaint, and well-stocked with anything you might need.

I can't over state how pleased we were: We found the cottage and the garden room waiting for us pleasing to the eye and sparkling clean. The cottage is on the edge of a vineyard with a view that stretches from the large patio door to the mountains at the edge of the valley - the kind of spectacular view that will keep you there not wanting to go. The Garden room is facing a large lawn surrounded by trees - serene and peaceful. The rooms were equipped very thoughtfully with anything that one might need. The beds are comfortable. Either bathrooms are large and clean - The Garden room has a spacious shower, the cottage has a Jacuzzi tub. Privacy is perfect! We didn't see or hear anybody else. The area around the property is "thinly" built. Since everything was so well prepared, we didn't need to call the owners - We knew they are not far but we never saw them when we came in until we departed. It is just outside of Healdsburg so you have to drive a few minutes to the town for dining etc. But then we loved being nestled between the vineyards - it was so rewarding. I can go on and on but you get the essence of it. We will be back.

This Inn is walking distance to downtown which is what drew us to this location. Ve was our host and she was very nice and gave us a short tour around the place. I was confused because we were told we could use the heated pool and then, when we went to go use it, there were multiple signs saying it's closed. The walls are thin, you can hear everything occurring in the hallway. Our room needed love. There was lots of dust build up, the television was extremely small, and the bed frame was very flimsy. The mattress was also quite hard and it was difficult to sleep throughout the night. I was looking forward to the speakeasy but it was closed throughout our stay. I'm not sure if it's closed for good or just wasn't open when I was there. There was no information given about it. We went out and came back to the Inn around 8 pm, there was an empty bottle of wine and dirty glasses sitting around the entrance area. I'm not sure if that was due to available tastings at the Inn or if someone just left it out because we were not informed of tasting offerings at the Inn. Breakfast was served between 8-10 and it was soggy French toast, warm yogurt and room temperature orange juice. All in all, I would not stay here again and I would choose to stay farther away at a nicer place.

There are a series of elegantly themed cottages surrounding a main Queen Anne Style home. Whoever decorated this place is a genius. Every corner has a unique detail to discover! There is a rooster house with all kinds of adorable pieces and an Oak house with a tree through the kitchen! The spread out cottages allowed for privacy and serenity. I've never slept better! In the morning, I woke up surrounded by the electric colors of fall. I also noticed that the estate was surrounded by all kinds of colorful fruit trees and vegetation. None of us wanted to leave!
