A really well-kept picturesque property where any picture you take is social media ready. We picnicked with the food that they gave us. That was enough, really well packed and delicious. The beet salad/spread was my favorite - so good! We did order their pizza, fries and some additional wine glasses. Enjoyed all the additions. The staff were genuinely nice. And the ambiance was casual enough to bring both the kids and canine family members.

We had to check in at the front desk, show our credit card even though I put it in when I checked in online. The guy at the front desk was very professional and cheery. He gave us a run down of the property, showed us where the time of breakfast was, on our key pouch and gave us 2 keys as requested. In the lobby they have a fruit bowl, apples and bananas. They also have coffee and hot water for tea. No hot chocolate, but they have 4 options of tea. Walking to our room in the hallway they had a table set up with lemon water and a pumpkin (we checked in October 12th) with apples in it that said take one. Our room was 322, away from the stairwell, ice machine and stairwell. It was the perfect location. The room was quiet, we couldn't hear our neighbors. The room was large. It had a desk and chair to lounge in. The TV had plenty of channels. Several HBO channels and Disney. We watched The God Father. The room also has a Kerig machine and 2 tea bags, different from the bigalo that they have downstairs, this was generic tea. There is also a fridge. They don't have a laundry bag in the closet. You have to go to the front desk for a laundry bag. The shower has Dove products (shampoo, conditioner, and body wash) in dispensers. They give you a mini bar of dove for the sink. They have 2 rolls of toilet paper on display. The complimentary breakfast was a hit. They had chafing dishes with cheese omelets and your choice of turkey or pork sausage patties. We pared this with a cinnamon roll. They also had a variety of juices, chocolate and plain milk, a pancake machine, bagels and breads. Then was something for everyone. I'd stay here again. It's near Rushing River Brewery and next door to a bowling alley that also has mini golf in the evenings. Windsor isn't in the heart of everything. But it's close enough to everything and the price was right. It was a busy hotel, we saw lots of people at breakfast, but there was still plenty of seating.

There's a bowling place, mini golf and escape room place beside the hotel but we didn't visit this place. Free parking. The breakfast from 7am-10am was very good- sausages, potatoes, scrambled eggs, pancakes, bagels,oatmeal. They have free WiFi. There was a fridge and microwave inside our room. They have coffee and tea in the lobby for 24 hours. Our Keurig coffee machine inside our room was not working, we only used it on our second night and it was not brewing. Told the front desk about it and the guy on the front desk was very helpful. They have a swimming pool, gym, spa,sauna. The price was reasonable. There's some noise coming from the cars in the streets outside. Other than that, we had a good stay! Will consider staying in this hotel again in the future.

She has never done a sleep away camp before and she was VERY nervous about spending time away from her family. (And her freeking phone.)

I have never heard someone talk about a zip line so much. Her counselor Reef was fantastic. We can't wait to sign her up for next summer! Thank you for teaching her there are much better things in this world than spending all your time on your phone.

She enjoyed the day camp but the staff seemed more concerned with protecting themselves rather than allowing parents to protect their children. I was expecting some nice local horse riding girls to mentor her and instead had to leave her with boys who wouldn't tell me their names. She won't be back.

I was attended a non profit fundraiser we were utilizing the kitchen everything we needed was there. They have a great stage and everything was cleaning up kept the patio area is very beautiful with the fountain in the center the only issue we had here was as soon as it became desk there was no lighting outside which was a shame because we could've taken a lot more pictures out there as the temperatures cooled down I think some people might've even danced out on the patio-we did have a giant game of wood and dominoes that we were going to play but it was too dark to do so. Overall I would give it an 8.5 out of 10-I removed one of the stars because of the lighting issues which is crucial when you have a lot of people to entertain

While growing up in Windsor, I had been to the Furth Center for quinceañeras and school dances, so…read moreit just always seemed kind of boring or standard. A couple of years ago, I was looking for a place to host our wedding reception. Anyone planning a wedding in Sonoma County knows that venues don't come cheap. With a guest list of nearly 200, we were starting to freak out. The Furth Center came across my list and I decided to check it out again, just for the heck of it. The look we wanted for the wedding was an old Spanish mission feel and the Furth Center definitely delivered. It was like I was looking at it through a new set of eyes. I don't know if they had remodeled or if I was just that blind when I was in high school, but it really is a gorgeous facility. I had some concerns as the event date drew near, since the man I had been coordinating with ended up leaving and a new person was put in charge of my event. Many of the files had gone missing and a lot of the things he had promised were not written down. However, the new coordinator took care of everything (along with their facility manager- ugh, I wish I could remember her name!). Our wedding reception was a hit and they really took care of us. The dance floor is pretty big and there is PLENTY of room for tables/seating. They have a stage (where we put the dj) and they took care of setting up the tables and bars. I hired a cleaning crew to pick up after the event, since they're not responsible for that, but that's understandable. Their outdoor fountain area was perfect for pictures. The ceiling had white linen draped with twinkly lights, which really gave it a nice vibe. I'm so glad we booked with them! I would do it all over again! :)

Once you step off, you make a right and enter the rooftop which has both indoor and outdoor seating. We were there around 5pm and it was quite windy - we had to make sure all the menus and napkins were secured and didn't blow away. We stopped for drinks and ended up ordering a couple bites as well. We ordered cocktails, the truffle fries, and the chicken wings. The cocktails were refreshing and tasted like they used fresh fruit juice. The truffle fries were also good, with just the right amount of truffle where you could still taste the potato. The chicken wings were tasty, but had a bit too much oil for my taste. Looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu.

If you are looking for a wedding venue in Healdsburg- look no further. When we stepped foot onto…read moreRu's Farm we met Lele and walked the grounds and knew this was the venue for us! The entire process was so easy from booking, communications, and vendor recommendations. We rented the Coop as well to get ready and it was such a perfect spot to be on the property but tucked away from the main grounds. Our guests continue to say how magical the wedding weekend was because of our venue! Guests walk through olive trees and into an open cocktail space with an abundance of flowers and fresh lavender. The ceremony site is under a beautiful large oak tree overlooking the Alexander Valley. The backdrop really sold me on why we had to get married at Ru's! Dinner was in front of the barn with twinkly lights. Then the dance party was in the barn where we also had lounge seating, and dessert! We had 140 guests which felt like just the right amount of people and the spaces all flowed nicely for it to feel like we could all be together the entire evening- without it feeling too large. We are still on such a high almost five months later and friends still tell us it was the best wedding of 2022! We cannot thank you LeLe and LJ for the best weekend!

Having our wedding at Ru's Farm was a dream…read more It was love at first sight, we knew immediately after stepping on the grounds that this was our place. It's beautiful and charming in a way that photos barely capture, but that's just the start of it. Lele, the venue owner was a joy to work with. We could tell how much love and care she puts into the space and that working with her would be the opposite of the cookie cutter, corporate experience we've experienced at other popular venues. She provided a thorough tour of the space, a really helpful preferred vendors list, and other wonderful tips and tricks. All the preferred vendors were top tier, and it ended up saving us a ton of time and we were guaranteed a high quality end to end experience. Other key benefits of Ru's: 1. The venue is available the entire wedding day which provides a lot of flexibility 2. There is a beautiful, 3-bedroom cottage on the properties that was perfect for getting ready 3. Unlike vineyards, this property has all the perks of a vineyard (oversees a vineyard) but also allows all types of alcohol (not just beer and wine) 4. The design of the space and the transition between different phases of the day (ceremony, reception, dancing, etc) was seamless This venue is a rare treasure, I would certainly suggest snatching a date before they are all gone.
