It definitely feels sad to re-review the Camellia Inn with only a 3-star review. I have been several times in the past, but not for six years. The Inn is no longer privately owned, and is now owned by the Wilson Winery group. I used to stay there when the owners were Lucy Leward and her father. They were super interested in their guests, and would have conversations with us and the other guests each evening. They brought the guests together by having a nightly cheese and wine hour, with lots of games in the parlor room. They would also decorate the inn so it looked beautiful for the various holidays. My husband and I stayed for three nights in November under the new ownership when attending a wine event in the area. There were two inn keepers there during the time we were there. They were polite, but that was about the extent of it. We pretty much spoke at check-in and check-out. We did get a welcome glass of wine upon arrival. They do also offer cookies in the lobby in the late afternoon, that I didn't try. The other nice thing is that breakfasts are made for each guest as we arrive to the dining room so that it is nice and hot. I will say that the breakfast is OK, but a little greasy. I do like that they offer a fruit and yogurt parfait along with the breakfast. The other thing that I did not like was the state of repair of some of the rooms. , The jacuzzi tub in our room was really old looking. There were some parts of the tub that had chipped off. There was also a gas fireplace in the room. We couldn't get it to work, and when I asked, I learned that it was not functional. In past years, I had really appreciated the relaxing jacuzzi tubs and fireplaces in the rooms. It was really part of the charm of the Inn. I know that they are trying to do some renovations, but, at the moment, it seems like they are behind. Though I am disappointed about the change in ownership and the less personal feel, I will say that it is still a lovely old home in a peaceful neighborhood, just blocks from the restaurants and wine tasting rooms. It is still a nice place to stay, but could definitely use some improvements.

Dirty Pool!

The internet and the reality were very different. The pool was dirty and full of algae. The pool furniture was filthy and the rest of the outdoor areas was not kept up.

This Inn is in a good location to walk to the restaurants and shops. The staff was very nice. We did have some issues. We stayed in the newly built out downstairs room and it still needed some things to make it a higher level. Robes and magnify mirror would have been nice. Another rug on the cold floor and a bathroom rug. Instructions for the heater and a TV with cable. Breakfasts were very nice in a cute room but starting at 9 is a little late. Housecleaning was good. Parking was a problem and there was a lot of work being done and outside where our room was didn't have a finished look to it. The Inn is not for people with even slight mobility issues and they should tell you that when you book. Our room had two steps down and there were about 9 steps to get into the house for breakfast. It was nice to have complimentary tastings at Rockville which is an excellent winery!

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.

Tucked away in the quiet town of Healdsburg, SingleThread delivers the kind of experience that…read moreimmediately reminds you why it stands among California's three Michelin star destinations. From the very beginning of the meal, there was a clear sense of precision, elegance, and intention. The opening presentation was stunning, filled with an assortment of beautifully composed small bites featuring oyster, mushroom, sea bream, and a variety of other seasonal ingredients. Each bite felt delicate yet purposeful, showcasing both technical refinement and remarkable balance. One of the most memorable dishes of the evening was the bluefin tuna moriawase paired with strawberries. Normally, fruit in savory dishes tends to feel distracting or overly sweet to me, but the execution here was exceptional. The chefs managed to create a harmony between sweetness, tartness, acidity, and umami that elevated the tuna rather than overshadowing it. It was a dish that felt thoughtful, restrained, and incredibly well composed. The consistency throughout the progression of the menu was equally impressive. Course after course arrived with meticulous presentation and a strong sense of identity. Every dish felt polished and intentional, balancing visual artistry with flavors that were equally compelling. There was never a moment where the meal lost momentum, and the pacing allowed each course to feel distinct while still contributing to a cohesive experience. That said, there was one course that completely missed the mark for our group. The milk and honey dessert, which resembled a sponge cake topped with a whipped goat cheese foam, was overwhelmingly pungent and difficult to approach as a dessert course. The intensity of the goat cheese dominated every other component, to the point where it felt less like a composed dessert and more like being punched by a goat farm. Looking around the dining room, it seemed we were not alone in our reaction. Interestingly, when we mentioned that this was the only dish we did not enjoy, we were told, "if at least 1 out of 10 guests enjoy it, we consider it a win." It was certainly an unexpected response, especially given how polished and thoughtful the rest of the experience had been. Even with that misstep, the overall meal was exceptional. SingleThread succeeds in delivering a dining experience that feels elegant, immersive, and deeply personal. Between the artistry of the presentations, the balance of flavors, and the technical execution across the menu, it remains one of the most impressive three Michelin star experiences in California.

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.
