    The river
    Mel J.

    We had an amazing glamping experience here. The facility is clean and feels safe for us with young kids. Our tent was ready during checking in at 4PM. We parked our car right at the back of the tent. The queen bed suited us for 2 adults & 1 young kid. There's a picnic table & fire pit if you want to have meal right in front the tent. We went during summer but the night was pretty cold. Even after turning on the heated pad and bundled in the cozy duvet, I had to wear hoodie on top of my PJ. The bathrooms were clean. Even when I went at 2AM to use it, it was well lit (but you do need to bring flashlight to walk there). The shower rooms are clean and the water pressure was good. It has shampoo, conditioner, and body wash inside. There is a communal gas BBQ and picnic tables near the shower area. You just need to bring utensils & food for your meal. There are washing stations with sponges & dish soap too. The Russian River is right in front of the property with various small 'beaches' along the riverbanks. However, do be careful of the current as it can be pretty strong. Life jacket is highly recommended for younger kids. You can rent inner tube at the store for $25/day. The store opens at 8am-7pm with complimentary coffee, tea, and hot cocoa. They sell burritos, snacks, cup noodle, beverages, and wine. There are some seating area around the store to hang around & eat.

    Loved our stay at Wildhaven Sonoma! Such a cute and relaxing getaway right by the Russian River. We had so much fun floating during the day and ending the night with s'mores by the fire. The tents were cozy, the bathrooms were super clean, there was a heated mattress pad and the whole property was really well maintained. Such a fun glamping experience and I'd definitely recommend!

    Beautiful place . At first, I was skeptical because I saw some pictures in the reviews, but once we arrived and explored the place, we loved it!! My kids didn't want to leave so we are definitely going back soon but with more family members

    so dusty and dirty.  Seems like they were never cleaned.

    very disappointing. only few bathroom stalls with extreme amount of people. The bathroom sink gets so crowded that you have to take turns and wait. Many things inside the tent had spider webs and dust everywhere. Worst thing is that it was 100 degrees when were there and we just could not stand being there without AC. The resort should have closed the tents at that temperature. We booked for 3 days but we decided to check out early and just let our money go into wast. It was no glamping. It was just beds in a tent. probably wont be back. Definitely was t worth the cost i which we paid over $300 per night.We told them we could not stay there otherwise would pass out because of extreme heat. They said they will not give us refunds. I never even mentioned refund?!?! They were just scared of losing money instead of caring for their customers. (barely any shades, the tents were getting direct sun light all days long )

    We celebrated Valentine's Day with a glamping experience and loved it! The outdoor cooking area was clean, and we enjoyed BBQing right outside our tent. The bathrooms and showers were spotless, and the heated bed kept us warm and cozy all night. Such a unique and romantic getaway

    7/11-7/13 Our group of 10 or so came here to Sonoma Wildhaven. We had mixture stays of cabins and tents. We pretty much booked all the riverfront tents. The tents were nice. Cabins were also nice but didn't have private bathrooms but had A/C! Thankfully it wasn't too hot the weekend we went. The river access was really nice. Our kids had fun. The community showers and bathrooms need to be cleaned more frequently. Some bathrooms were out of toilet paper and the trash bins weren't empty timely. It was nice that they have barrels of trash throughout the property that was managed more frequently. There is complimentary coffee, tea and hot chocolate in the morning at the shop from 8-11. Parking is conveniently located next to your rental unit. It's pricey and you definitely pay for the convenience of being in Sonoma and being so close to some great wineries like Silver Oak. Friday night was nice where string lights were on til midnight. Saturday, those same lights were off early which was disappointing. Quiet time is at 10pm.

    We have everything here: lights, electricity, WiFi, heated blankets underneath and a space heater

    This Wildhaven location was our first time experiencing glamping and it has sparked our "addiction" for glamping ever since ! This review is long overdue! We tried Wildhaven Sonoma last December during their Winter promotion. We got two wine tumblers, a bottle of wine and a kit of s'mores with our stay. The tumblers are of high quality and the wine was delicious! As we turned into Wildhaven, we loved how cute and quaint it was, nestling along the Russian River. Rows and rows of small cabin appeared before our eyes. There was an attendant at the gate who would quickly check you in and gave you some instructions of where your cabin was located and where to park. Each cabin has its own parking so you can easily park and load your stuff inside. The cabin itself was so nice with spacious front deck which had a small coffee table and 2 chairs for your morning coffee enjoyment. There was a picnic table and a fire pit in the front yard. Walk a few steps up, open the zipped door and you'll enter a spacious cabin with 2 queen bed, 1 night stand and a coat rack. Though you may have to walk a bit to use the restroom and bathroom (yes you can take showers here!), the cabin has everything else that you need! Lights for you to read, electricity for you to charge your phone/ipad/laptop/electronic devices, heated blankets underneath your sheets (because it's winter time), and a space heater if the heated blanket were not enough for you! This Wildhaven is conveniently located within 10 minutes of driving to downtown Healdsburg where you can find all the delicious restaurants. Famous wineries are also within 15-20 of driving. We spent all our rainy day trying out different wineries and had a blast! They also have a lodge where you could buy last minute items such as ices, toothpaste, toothbrush. They have hot water for you to use. Around the ground, there are playgrounds which has corn holes and various other things. You also have private entrance to the Russian River. We quickly walked down but didn't spend much time there since it's winter time. But I can totally imagine how popular this river will be in the summer time. Overall, we had a blast! Thanks Wildhaven Sonoma for sparking our addiction for glamping

    Russian River access

    Everything is so well done here. We stated for 3 days/2 nights, and it was exactly what we'd hoped for - quiet, full of beauty, and immeasurably relaxing. Just enough hardship to make it interesting, and all the facilities are in great shape. We also had one small-ish issue that they took seriously and helped us navigate. I'll be back for sure.

    Amazing place to relax!! Wish the cabins were further apart. Anyway to do that or decrease seeing humans would only add to the benefit and charm!

    A room with a view!

    Beautiful place to stay. Very dog friendly, lots of areas to walk along the river. Cabins are nice and very clean and cozy. Nice little store with Coffee and tea in the morning. The staff is very accommodating. Best staff member is Debbie! Friendly and made me feel at home. Debbie is a sweetheart. The bathrooms were clean. There was shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the showers. We were happy to find bath towels in our cabin! Wonderful place to stay!

    Showers with shampoo and body wash.

    We usually reserve campsites at California State Parks on the reservecalifornia website, which I highly recommend and they have bathrooms/showers at most state parks, but we wanted to try glamping for the first time. The fact that we could pack lighter and the photos on the Wildhaven website really sold us. (Of course, the photos will always look better though). I purchased the early check-in option ($30) so we could arrive at 1 PM instead of 3 PM, but since check-in is fully contactless and no one is at the front desk, it makes you wonder... couldn't anyone just show up early? When we arrived, we were surprised by how close the tents are to one another. You can hear every conversation around you. The couple across from us brought their husky that barked at every passerby. We were just sitting on our porch when they pulled up, and their dog immediately started barking at us from the car. It continued to bark at us as the man brought the dog out and throughout the night at their neighbors around them. I felt bad for their neighbors. Then the couple started arguing at one point and you can hear them arguing. There was also another dog farther away that joined in, so at times, both dogs were barking back and forth, either at each other or maybe at strangers. We have two dogs ourselves and we love dogs but I could see that people bringing their reactive dog would eventually ruin the benefit of dogs being allowed here. To our right, another couple blasted their Netflix show at full volume and laughed obnoxiously loud like, full "HEE HEE HEE HEE! HAHAHA!!!". On top of that, the site sits right next to the freeway, so there's constant traffic noise. Altogether, it was far from peaceful. The next morning, we went to the storefront for the complimentary coffee and hot chocolate. The setup was cute and well-done. My husband had an injury, so I went on a quiet morning walk to the river around 8 AM. It started off lovely, until I saw two full boxes of empty Modelo bottles dumped near the water, more bottles scattered around, and even a used diaper hanging from a tree. There was graffiti on the wall and a "Litter = No Access" sign right in front of the mess. It really ruined the experience and grossed me the hell out. The amount of trash made it clear that the area hadn't been cleaned in a while. As I made my way back to my tent, out of nowhere, this German shepherd tied outside someone's converted school bus lunges at me and barks aggressively. It felt like one of those movies where the guy is breaking in someone's house and there's a jump scare of a guard dog trying to attack the guy. I felt like I was trespassing someone's property. I don't know what a mobile school bus is doing there but it's probably one of the staff that lives there. It didn't feel safe or appropriate for guests to walk by. To be fair, the tents themselves are comfortable and well equipped with outlets, Wi-Fi, a heater, and storage space. (Keep in mind that the WiFi inside the tent isn't great.) The on-site amenities are well maintained. The staff clearly works hard to keep the bathrooms and shared areas spotless, because you'd see them constantly cleaning, which I appreciate. However, the area around the river really need more attention. If you're looking for a peaceful, nature-filled experience, this isn't the place. Between the barking dogs, loud guests, freeway noise, and trash by the river, it felt more chaotic than relaxing. I can't say I ever felt a sense of calm during our stay at Wildhaven. TL;DR: Beautiful setup and clean bathrooms, but reactive barking dogs, loud neighbors, traffic noise, and trash by the river made it hard to relax. Definitely not the peaceful, nature-filled stay we expected.

    This was my third stay at wildhaven in three years. I live in Santa Rosa which is nice because they offer a local's discount! Overall this place is very well kept. Restrooms/ showers are clean . Nice hot showers. I enjoy cooking on the open fire pit, but for those who'd rather use the propane grill there's four of them and they also keep that well cleaned. Very nice place for a quick getaway and just chill.

    My family and I enjoyed our stay at Wildhaven Sonoma. Booking was easy on their website and there were a variety of tents and cabins to choose from. Check-in was also online and gave us instructions on what to do when we got there. We've never gone glamping before, so I didn't know what to expect and definitely overpacked. Our tent was elevated and also had two beds - I was worried about the cold but the tent had a space heater and two beds with heating pads. There were two heating pads per bed and can be adjusted to the individual preference! They really thought of everything! Each tent had a firepit and there were a communal space with grills for cooking as well. Our tent was a bit far from the bathrooms and it was a pain getting to in the night - hopefully in the future, they'll have more bathrooms set up at different areas around the campsite. My kids had a lot of fun and although it was a bit too cold to go down to the river, my daughter enjoyed walking around what she calls "this little town".

Our suite opened to sweeping mountain views, where each morning began with soft light spilling over the peaks and a quiet stillness that felt almost sacred. In the evenings, we lingered on our private deck, wrapped in the gentle warmth of the fire pit as the sky shifted through shades of gold, rose, and deep violet. Watching the sun dip behind the mountains in that serene setting was nothing short of magical. The dining experience was equally exceptional. The restaurant offers panoramic views of rolling vineyards and distant mountains, creating a setting that feels both intimate and expansive. As the light changed throughout the evening, the atmosphere became even more enchanting. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, rich with flavor and beautifully presented, while the cocktails were perfectly balanced and artfully crafted. The service was seamless--attentive, intuitive, and never intrusive. This resort exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're looking for a luxurious, restorative escape where every detail is thoughtfully curated--from the breathtaking scenery to the impeccable service and unforgettable dining--I cannot recommend it highly enough. We are already dreaming of our return.

    **The Best Hotel Service We've Ever Experienced**…read more Our stay at Montage Healdsburg was honestly one of the best hotel experiences we've ever had. The service was on another level from the moment we arrived. Every single staff member went out of their way to make us feel welcome, remembered our names, and genuinely seemed happy to help with anything we needed. It never felt forced--it just felt like everyone truly cared. We stayed in a Vineyard View Studio, and it was absolutely beautiful. Waking up to the vineyard with wildlife wandering by in the mornings was such a peaceful way to start each day. The entire property is pristine, quiet, and feels incredibly private and relaxing. The people truly made this place unforgettable. Kyle at the bar, Sissy at the pool bar, Johnny and Charlie taking incredible care of us poolside, and Anthony and Jordan, who always seemed to be one step ahead--whether it was giving us golf cart rides, showing us around the property, helping with room service, or simply making sure we had everything we needed. Every interaction felt genuine. Everyone was approachable, conversational, and incredibly kind, and by the end of our three days we felt like we knew the staff personally. The spa was top-notch. Our massages were incredible, and one thing we really appreciated throughout the resort was that nothing ever felt crowded. We never had trouble getting a table at Hazel Hill, and every meal was outstanding. Benjamin took great care of us, and on the rare occasion something wasn't quite right with an order, it was corrected immediately with kindness and professionalism. We also loved taking advantage of the complimentary shuttle service and the onsite Cadillacs--they made getting around so easy and were such a thoughtful touch. After just three days, we truly felt at home and honestly didn't want to leave. Montage Healdsburg has set the bar for what luxury hospitality should feel like. It's rare to find a place that's not only beautiful, but staffed by people who genuinely love what they do and make every guest feel seen. We can't wait to come back.

    Really a special place, in a historic building from the 1800s. The host was extremely welcoming and…read morefriendly throughout. And t the food was really excellent. The chef is very creative and original. We shared a few appetizers, the tuna crudo was very different and very delicious but they're homemade pasta was quite inventive and really outstanding. Our dinner entrees were excellent we had the pork and the halibut entree but truthfully the dessert that we finished with was out of this world quite excellent. The name of that dessert was simply a strawberry and rhubarb dessert and the name didn't do it justice because it was very different very special very delicious we probably could have eaten that for the entire night because it was so good.. unexpected. Definitely would recommend coming to this beautiful spot

    We've come to The Madrona so many times, and time and time again, the experience has been nothing…read moreshort of wonderful. Chef Phi is easily one of our favorites in all of Sonoma. The man can truly cook. We've tried a variety of his dishes, and each one shows such intention, from the flavor profiles to the textures; and everything is always beautifully presented. It never misses. His congee is absolutely to die for, and those thinly sliced pork pieces with crisped skin and tender, juicy meat are a standout every single time. Check out that pic of burger he made for us for burger week! You can really taste the quality, especially knowing he uses fresh vegetables straight from the garden on the property. That is farm-to-table at its finest. On one of our visits, we stayed in a suite above the restaurant, which made the whole experience even more special. It was so nice to head upstairs after dinner and fully relax in our own space. Our room was stocked with thoughtful treats upon arrival, and we had access to the most beautiful private gym. The pool area is stunning, and we loved riding the bikes they provide to explore the property. I would absolutely stay here again. Everywhere you go, there's curated art to enjoy, which adds such a unique and elevated touch. They also host special events throughout the year. We especially love their summer movie nights, lounging on the lawn with fresh popcorn, wine, and Red Vines is such a vibe. All in all, our experience started with the restaurant and kept us coming back for more. It's made even more special by the team, who consistently make us feel so welcomed every time we visit. Thank you for always spoiling us, Chef. We are so grateful for you. Your talent and skill truly shine, and The Madrona is lucky to have you. See you again soon!

    SCW and I stayed at the Lodge at Healdsburg while we were in the area wine tasting. When we arrived…read morewe were warmly greeted at the bar area which also serves as the check in desk which was unique. The friendly employee told us a bit about the hotel as we were checked in and we got our keys. Our room was facing the interior courtyard as most of the rooms here are. We had a gas fireplace in the room which would come in handy during the cooler times of the year. We also had a little balcony which was great. I thought it might be a little noisy during the day or at night with people in the courtyard down below but it really wasn't an issue. The room had a nice clean bathroom with a fairly large shower. Double sinks as well which is always nice. The bed was comfortable, however when we checked in there was a large tear in one of the bed sheets. I called down to get it replaced, unfortunately housekeeping had already gone home. The front desk person offered to change the sheets for us, but we did that ourselves. The hotel has some wine tasting nights, though I'm not really sure how consistent they are. We didn't partake, but it may be available. They do have self service laundry available at the sister hotel which is right across the parking lot. The detergent is sold in a vending machine near the laundry room. There is lots of parking (you need a tag displayed in your car) and you can access the rooms either by stairs or elevator. Just a little ways down from the hotel you'll find a great trail that goes into town along a little stream which I really enjoyed. I enjoyed our stay at The Lodge and would recommend it. It's in a great location with lots to do around town.

    So my review is very focused on one employee specifically named Elliot. I am not sure if he's a…read morefriend, relative or one of the owners. But he definitely doesn't bring the brand any good recognition on service or professionalism. My stay: I am a minority but don't look at myself that way but obviously Elliot did. He seemed to be a West County Boy (west Sonoma County) lacquered in something other than kindness. He intentionally denied my checkin as a Diamond Member and never acknowledged me as such. I know the line in Hilton: " Thank You For being a Diamond Member....". Fast forward to 5 pm. Elliot still not letting me check in. I'm waiting in the lobby being super quiet and obviously aware of his tactics. Another person, female, comes by and ask me if the could help. I say yes I'm trying to check in. She says "Yes there are other rooms available would you like to check in". Of course I quickly take her offer and check in. I ask the housekeeping, where do you get ice? She says the front desk. I go back and guess who is there? Yup Elliot He says "OH yeah I will get you ice " . He goes around the front desk so I cannot see him. I hear him grunt out a big loogie as he cleared his throat rummaging with the ice scooper. Well at that point, I drive to the store to buy my own ice. True story The other thing which was also very odd about this Tapestry Hilton were the holes in the towels. As ai waiting in the pool area, several other guests called to complain about holes in all the towels at the pool. Later once I entered my room, I noticed the same thing. All of the bath large towels had holes. Odd... And the phish is walking way far away from West County Elliot.....

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!

Heidi was very friendly and accommodating upon our arrival. We ran into Marco at dinner and he was also very personable, even remembered we spoke on the phone. Chef Crista was also too kind, we asked for a later check out to explore the Redwoods one last time and she didn't hesitate to let us stay a little longer. We will definitely be back to this oasis in the hills. Only 4 minutes away from a beautiful forest and 30 to Jenner. You really can't go wrong here! Such good vibes. The room was very spacious and they have quality toiletries. The simple breakfast that they provide also gives you the fuel to start your day! Unfortunately, I didn't request and spa services so that will have to be next time. And finally an adults only hotel where you are actually treated like an adult with the honor bar and 24 hour pool/spa. Plus furry friend friendly!

They have bikes to take into town which are also well maintained. Rooms are really cute and the place is dog friendly. The pool has a chill ambiance with a curated playlist. Their honor bar is a really nice touch as well. Highly recommend this place!

Sound: We had one of the front rooms and the busy road noise is loud. Also, we could hear everything from our neighbor including them snoring. 2. I asked for an amenity for the birthday celebration and we were promised something waiting. I had to ask again and we ended up with two pieces of chocolate. I've paid a lot less for hotels that have included way better birthday amenities. 3. The room is nice but nothing exceptional. 4. Smores hour is cute but the smores are definitely stale. 5. I dropped something behind the tub and it was clear things had not been cleaned back there. Everything else was very clean, and that is important to me. 6. The restaurant is overrated. Go to other spots for the vibe and food. The pros: 1. I absolutely love the connections that this hotel has to wineries and wine tasting. We would come back just for this as staying at farmhouse gets you exceptional service at the partner wineries. This is what makes it special! 2. The wine happy hour hosts were also great. Special shoutout to freeman who was extra sweet to us. 3. Everyone is very nice and helpful. The service really stands out and brings this hotel up to 4 stars. 4. The lobby cat is very cute!
