    Very much recommend this bed and breakfast! We stayed in one of the Ryokan inspired rooms over the long July 4th weekend and had such a restorative weekend! The location is serene and quiet, and the staff were incredibly helpful! I highly recommend the creek side ryokan rooms since they feel particularly secluded. The gigantic bathroom and fluffy robes were the highlight of the room! The bathroom comes with a giant soaking tub that can fit two and double showers! The room wraps around a zen courtyard garden, which is such a nice touch. The pool was so relaxing and everyone was respectful and quiet. We also took advantage of the onsite spa to get a couples massage. Breakfast was good but food was relatively average. The afternoon social wine and cheese hour was very nice and delicious. There were also fresh cookies and sake always available.

    If you're looking for a romantic getaway in Sonoma wine country with a unique twist, look no further than the Gaige House in Glen Ellen. My partner and I just returned from a magical stay, and I can't recommend this property enough for those seeking tranquility, charm, and a touch of the exotic. Ambiance & Theming: The Gaige House stands out for its serene, Asian-inspired ambiance. The property features beautifully landscaped grounds with bamboo, tranquil water features, and even a meditation and yoga space that encourages you to slow down and soak in the peaceful vibes. Many of the suites, especially the traditional Ryokan Suites, are designed with Japanese influences--think sliding shoji screens, private zen gardens, and deep soaking tubs that evoke a true sense of calm and romance. History & Design: The main building is a historic home dating back to the late 1800s. Over the years, it's been lovingly restored and reimagined, with the current Asian theming inspired by the owners' travels throughout Japan and Southeast Asia. This thoughtful design choice creates a harmonious blend of Sonoma's rustic charm and the minimalist elegance of a Japanese inn, making the Gaige House a truly unique destination in wine country. The Gaige Suite: We splurged on the Gaige Suite in the main building, and it was worth every penny. The suite essentially has the entire second floor deck to itself--perfect for sipping morning coffee or enjoying a glass of wine at sunset. Inside, there's a luxurious walk-through shower and a deep soaking tub that's ideal for unwinding after a day of wine tasting. The bath amenities are by Grown Alchemist, which was a lovely, spa-like touch. Food & Drink: Breakfast each morning was a delight, with fresh, locally sourced offerings that changed daily. In the afternoons, we looked forward to the freshly baked cookies--such a sweet touch! Throughout the day, there are open bottles of sake and wine available for tasting, which was a wonderful way to discover new favorites at our own pace. Every evening, the Gaige House hosts a wine and cheese tasting that brings guests together and fosters a real sense of community. We met fellow travelers, shared stories, and got great tips for exploring the area. It's clear the staff takes pride in creating a warm and welcoming environment. Staff & Service: Speaking of the staff, they were absolutely charming--knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about hospitality and the surrounding Sonoma region. They offered fantastic recommendations for local wineries, restaurants, and hiking trails, making our stay all the more memorable. Booking Experience: We booked our stay through the World of Hyatt program, which now includes properties from the Mr. and Mrs. Smith collection. A quick heads-up for fellow travelers: while you can use Hyatt points and book through their platform, Hyatt elite status benefits (like upgrades or late checkout) aren't recognized at this property. Still, the overall experience more than made up for it. Final Thoughts: The Gaige House is a hidden gem that combines the best of wine country hospitality with the serenity of a Japanese retreat. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just need to recharge, this is the place to do it. We can't wait to return!

    I would give Gaige House more than 5 stars if that was an option. We had such a wonderful stay here from beginning to end. The stellar service started before check in. In the morning, I received a text asking when we expected to arrive. I confirmed our arrival time, and around noon I received a text that our room was ready and that we could check in early. This communication allowed us to check in earlier than we had planned and enjoy some relaxing time by the pool and in the hot tub before our dinner reservation. Check in was a breeze and we enjoyed a complimentary glass of champagne while we were offered a tour of the property. Is there a better way to start a trip than with a glass of champagne?!?! We stayed in the Gaige House King Room, which was modern and upscale but comfortable - plush robes in the closet, an Illy coffee station, wall-mounted TV with chromecast enabled, complimentary water bottles, and a spacious bathroom with luxurious toiletries, and an enormous jetted tub. Our stay at Gaige House was marked by many thoughtful touches that elevated our experience. One of those was the wine happy hour from 4:30 to 5:30. We enjoyed a refreshing glass of rosé and snacked on some yummy charcuterie. I appreciated that they had a gluten free cracker option, veggies and hummus, olives in addition to the regular meats and cheeses you'd expect. I found the happy hour food offerings to be unexpectedly good. Shout out to the super tasty olives and salume - yum! I'd also note that the room where the happy hour is held contains several games to play while you sip - Jenga, mancala, a wooden tic tac toe, chess and others. Another nice little touch is that they put out giant cookies in the entryway. I took an oatmeal raisin one for a midnight snack after dinner and it was delicious. A stay at Gaige House also comes with a hot breakfast served from 8 to 10 am. It was very well done. There was plenty hot coffee, juice, fresh fruit, eggs, pancakes, a variety of breads and coffee cake, overnight oats and yoghurt. I loved that they also had a little mimosa station set up with juice and fresh fruit. We so throughly enjoyed our stay here, we will look for opportunities to return again in the future.

    So I did a quick 2 day 2 night weekend - Monday getaway. They were offering a special on the website . I think it was 30% as long as you completed the stay before March 31st The location and room sets the tone for the vacation. If you are like me, my life is chaotic on a normal day, so I really needed to disconnect for a few days. The have many options for rooms but the one I was in the Ryoken Zen Creekside Room . In the bathroom there was double robes, small toiletries and a huge soaking tub and sinks. Our fridge was stocked with sake, macarons, glass bottled water, a full size bottle champagne and a variety of tea. The room table had a beautiful heave tea set for serving. Hot water was dispensed though the faucet at the bar area. I. Had a back area with lounge chairs to sit out and listen to the creek. In addition there was a separate central area you could have your slider open on the bed side or tub side and listen to the waterfall feature without actually accessing the outside. Romantic and relaxing ! think they were made from stone, maybe granite , but absolutely gorgeous! Overall it was a beautiful property . Had one hiccup with the toilet but maintenance came the next a.m. and fixed while we had breakfast. When you arrive there is wine hour in the room across from the check in desk. It includes wine , a charcuterie variety platter and sake if you're so inclined. They also have fresh baked cookies in the hallway for you to grab and take. I did not say no LOL. Breakfast is included every morning . The Four Sister's Company owns several locations, that is on my list to check out in the near future !

    What an amazing little spot! Right after I booked our reservation, guest services called to see if we had any questions or needed help with any bookings. Upon my request, they emailed me a list of wineries and restaurants that they recommend in the area. My husband and I spent Mothers' Day weekend here and had the perfect stay! From beginning to end, the service was top notch! We were greeted by Pam, and another lovely woman (forgot her name) with big friendly smiles and complimentary sparkling wine! They gave us a quick tour of the grounds and showed us the lovely lounge where they had complimentary sake, port, and cookies for all their guests. At 4:30pm they had a little happy hour with a beautiful charcuterie board and 4 wines to choose from. They have a nice little complimentary breakfast as well! Our room (The Glen Ellen King) was comfortable and had this amazing oversized jetted tub. They provided the most comfortable robes I've ever worn, and the beds were pretty comfy too! The pool area and jacuzzi were well kept and the perfect place to unwind. We were also walking distance to the Glen Ellen Star, a Michelin recommended restaurant, with fantastic food! We definitely highly recommend staying here and look forward to our next opportunity to stay again

    Enjoy your morning meditation!

    We had such a great time at our stay here! The property itself is so beautiful... all staff we encountered were friendly and very helpful. The included breakfast was fresh and delicious... took a dip in the pool and enjoyed the hot tub...took in all the zen this place had to offer! We will definitely be back!

    Gorgeous building surrounded by Japanese maples and birdsong. It's in a residential neighborhood and the driveway is easy to miss if you're not looking for it. My wife and I stayed for two nights in the Gaige House King room for our 10th anniversary. On our check-in day, they actually texted us that our room was ready early, which was really nice as we did make good time on our drive up and were already in the neighborhood. Kat at the front desk checked us in, and was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. I was worried that the attention to design would be given only to the suites, and that the more basic rooms would be an afterthought, but that was not the case; our room was beautiful despite (or maybe because of) the minimalist decor. I appreciated that so many things were mechanical - the blinds stay up by wrapping the string around a hook, and there's even an actual key to unlock the door with a charming hammered metal tag on the key ring! (The front door key that gets you into the building was a little wonky - it's one of those where you have to pull up on the doorknob while turning the key so that the locking mechanism lines up. You'll figure it out.) The room was huge, and we were particularly impressed by the spaciousness of the bathroom; we could both get ready in the morning without being cramped. Our room had a hot tub big enough for both of us with basic jet functions, which we took advantage of after a big dinner our second night; the hotel even provided bath salts in the room. Interestingly, the handheld showerhead dispensed hotter water than the overhead one, so be sure to play around with the shower controls a bit if you're having a similar issue. The bathrobes are plush and comfortable and hooded, and you get slippers too! They left us a couple macarons and a card as an anniversary gift, which was a nice touch. The hotel itself provides a lot of food. They do a wine and cheese hour from 4:30 - 5:30 in the game room (where you can play mancala, go, and chess, if you're interested.) The wine, sourced from rotating local vintners, is pedestrian and probably not of interest to connoisseurs, but it's at least two cuts above Yellow Tail, and it's really nice that they provide it. Alongside it, they serve a charcuterie board which was pretty decent and definitely helped tide us over until dinner our first night. The best treats, though, were the ones that were provided all day - you can help yourself to port (ruby or tawny) or sake at any time, and there are giant, soft, fresh cookies in the foyer. They'll even chill the sake for you if you ask. There's a breakfast served in the common area every morning from 8-10 AM. I encourage you to think of it as a really good continental breakfast rather than a lower-quality restaurant breakfast. The hot food gets held in a chafing dish. The breakfast serves its function (that function being to allow you to go wine tasting at noon without getting totally sloshed). Our first day they served a red bell pepper egg strata with cheese biscuits; our second day was cheesy breakfast potatoes with poached eggs and link sausages. Both days they provided granola, overnight oats, and a selection of fruit, bread, and pastry. There's also a DIY mimosa station, if you want a socially acceptable way to drink at 8:00 in the morning. A minor note: all the food is served in the main house, so if you're staying in one of the suites that's not in the main house, you'll have to actually walk outside briefly in order to get to it, whereas if you're in one of the rooms that is in the main house, you can just wait until the absolute last minute to roll out of bed, throw on a hoodie, and make your way downstairs. The pool and lounge are nice, set on a lower level than the main house and surrounded by foliage. We enjoyed lounging next to the fire pit on the patio while we ate our breakfast. There's a nice fountain around the side of the house, and there are a few different common areas where you can unwind. The whole place is just built for relaxation. My strong advice if you stay here is to avoid the temptation to overschedule yourself with wine tastings and meals. Instead, leave some time just to enjoy the hotel spaces. On our full day in the hotel, we didn't actually leave until 3:00 PM save for a walk around town, and it was fantastic. We spent like half an hour sipping coffee together and looking out the window at the birds and the trees. Gaige House is a pleasant place to stay, tucked away in a quiet part of the county; it's a bit far from some of the more well-known wineries and restaurants, but I think that's kind of the idea.

    Ended 2022 at one of my favorite hidden gems in Glen Ellen. This was my third stay at Gaige House and it didn't disappoint! Our previous stays happened during covid. We throughly enjoyed all the sanitary and safety precautions at the time. Fast forward to now something's have changed and we were able to enjoy Gaige House differently. When we arrived for check in we were greeted by a rep from a local winery in Glen Ellen pouring wine. The complimentary cheese, wine and sake was a nice touch. They had a big assortment of cheese and fruit and we decided to hang out in the lounge area and enjoy a glass of wine before we headed to our room. All the times we've stayed we've chosen one of the Zen Suites. I wish I would have taken more pictures of the suites we've stayed in. The suites are very ample, tastefully decorated and peaceful. Each suite has a beautiful soaking tub and patio with a meditation garden. The Japanese inspired decor feels luxurious and unique. There were multiple sets of robes and slippers to use. Amenities are Okay but I wish there was more of a drink/snack assortment in the room. Room service/reception closes down early and Gaige House isn't located within walking distance to a restaurant or convenience store. (Knowing this we've always come prepared.) For breakfast I was a bit of a let down this time around. We paid an extra charge to have breakfast delivered to our room and the food ended up being cold. Breakfast was yogurt, orange juice, coffee, potatoes and a breakfast burrito. The last stays we had included much better breakfasts but none the less, still a good stay. Booking online was smooth, we booked directly through the website and paid in full up front, part of our room rate included a bottle of wine which we never got... it was a bummer to skip out on the wine but I had no complaints because they complimentary upgraded our suite. Overall: 8/10. The Gaige House is unlike any other stay I've had in Sonoma County due to the Japanese inspired aesthetic. It's quaint, peaceful and overall a great choice for a staycation in Sonoma County.

    Sake available all day/night

    On a whim, we decided to make a last minute reservation here. So glad we did. We got to the Gaige house a bit early so I room wasn't quite ready. We were shown around and invited to have some sake and port while we wait. We sat out on the deck next to the fireplace, which was perfect since it was a bit chilly. Their cookies were out so we grabbed a cookie and some port and enjoyed the Fireplace and view. We were given a bottle of champagne and shown to the Creekside room. It was very nice. Bed was very comfortable. Great pillows too. Robes and slippers were available. We went to the jacuzzi which was very warm and relaxing. Didn't go in the pool, but it was heated. Went to dinner at Glen Ellen Star. It's a must go if you're staying around the area. The staff at the Gaige house was very nice and helpful. Inside the house they have different rooms which are fun to look through. They had a game room with instructions for the various games. Wine/port room with fireplace and breakfast area were nice and clean. Complementary Breakfast was nice. We had breakfast burritos. They also had pastries, orange juice, coffee, tea, sausage, potatoes, fruit, granola and yogurt. This place is quiet and clean. We enjoyed it a lot and will be coming back for sure.

    Where do I start? This place is everything they say they are and more! Such a beautiful location tucked away in the charming Glen Ellen. Such a cozy boutique hotel/B&B with Asian inspired touches throughout the grounds and rooms. I admit I was drawn to the "Endless Summer" special with the additional bonuses such as discounted room rates, two VIP tastings at two different wineries, welcome bottle of wine and sake, as well as hot breakfast, wine and cheese hour and port/sake in the evening! This place had so many bonuses that I couldn't pass up. The rooms were gorgeous and we had an outdoor private patio with cute Asian charm! The bathroom was spacious. They also had Japanese slippers you can wear inside your room. The staff were amazing and attentive! We mostly corresponded via text which I liked and they were quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. They even made the reservations for our tastings. Breakfast was hot and they had different options. I do wish they had more meat items but I guess I can't complain. Wine and cheese hour had various white and red wines, cheese, crackers and olives. Overall, this place was 5 stars in my opinion and will definitely go back!

    I had been wanting to go to this place for A LONG time. I am so glad I was able to celebrate my birthday here. Everything was over expectations of this place from wine tasting to room details. I had one of the most relaxing weekends here and can't wait for my next visit. Workers are SO nice here. Highly recommend!

    - Gaige House is a cute B&B tucked away in Sonoma County, but it's within driving distance from town. - i stayed in the main building near the front desk and at night you'll likely hear doors slamming shut and faint talking and steps for those in the building. If you're looking for peace and quiet, maybe try one of the suites. - Upon my checking in there were stains on the sheets that I requested be changed. They were quick and attentive, but then I noticed a long strand of hair on the second set of towels in my bathroom. - The room was dusty (especially on the headboard and the nightstands) and questions how thorough they wipe and clean down the rooms. Luckily I bring Lysol and Clorox wipes everywhere I travel because the remote control was disgusting with a build up of dirt and dust (i honestly wish i had taken a picture). - Overall, if you're looking to get out of the hustle and bustle from the city and it's surrounding areas this is a remote location and relatively quiet.

The location, the staff, the room (King room above the carport), the in-room snacks and robes, the 24/7 pool/hot tub, the beautiful breakfast and afternoon wine. I can't believe it wasn't sold out. If you're in the area, don't hesitate for a second. This place is a 10/10, enjoy!

But first, the good: their accommodations remain fabulous. We stayed in the Upper Poolside Cottage (Room 10) and it's just wonderful. The Comphy sheets are just heaven. Their bath towels are also plush and luxurious. Two thumbs up for in-room linens! Heated floors in the bathroom and 2-sided fireplace provide nice warmth and comfort. Complimentary snacks and fizzy water in the mini fridge are a nice bonus, too. The poolside cottages are the cat's meow, and just a short hop to the pool and hot tub. But there are several things that I noted during our last visit that made me feel like maybe this may have been our last visit to the Olea. First, there was a goodly amount of trash strewn about the property. At the hot tub, there was a wine bottle cap on the bench (I know, wine country, to be expected, right?), but what truly grossed me out was the wad of used athletic wrap right next to the hot tub. Blech! As I grabbed both of these items and took them to the trash (all of five or six steps from where they had been scattered), I noticed even more bits of trash in the corner area near the planters. Like more trash than would be expected by just one party being messy. (Also, the planter area was weedy and just seemed neglected.) I dismissed it as just not getting some needed attention, until I returned to our cottage and noticed several more pieces of trash right by our front door that I had missed earlier. And apparently so did housekeeping and management. Plus broken tree limbs atop the roof of the main building. And a huge rip in one of the pool lounge chair pads. And a very large hole (~3") in a pool towel. Just signs of general neglect and subpar for this place, especially at their price point. Second and perhaps even more disappointing is how much the included breakfast service has changed. It's gone from a 2-course, made-in-house gourmet affair to a continental style DYI breakfast, apparently now even on the weekends. The only thing made to order is the avocado toast (for obvious reasons). For those guests who hadn't enjoyed the previous offerings, perhaps it doesn't seem too bad. Nice spread. But I sorely miss the delectable morning meals and the awesome homemade chai along with the service for breakfast. I'd give this an updated 3.5 stars but will round up to 4 because I still really want to love this place. Also, Star provided friendly and welcoming service at the front desk, which was appreciated.

The bathrooms, in particular, were beautifully updated--stylish, spotless, and spacious. Check-in was quick and easy, and we appreciated the ample onsite parking.

Our friends hosted their after-party there and we really got to see how big the location is and conveniently walk back to our room at the end of the night! The location couldn't be better--within easy walking distance to tasting rooms, cafes, and even a Michelin-starred restaurant. It's also just a short drive to several wineries and the stunning Jack London State Park. Although we didn't get a chance to use the pool, it looked lovely and peaceful, nestled alongside a river--definitely something we'll look forward to next time. The whole place had a warm, cozy, and inviting vibe. The town itself is incredibly charming, and we already can't wait to come back for another stay!

    This was a motel--not a very romantic place, but good for families. There is a pool, and the…read moregrounds are clean. Our room's refrigerator still had food and drink from the previous guests. The room's furniture, floors, and shower felt a bit vintage, but the bedding was soft and new. There could have been a few touches to make the rooms feel nicer--better toiletries, bigger TV, lighter furniture, reupholstered chairs, maybe a half wall separating the room from the bathroom vanity. But it was in a convenient location, and the price was better than other options.

    Choosing Beltane Ranch as our wedding venue was honestly the best decision we made in our entire…read moreplanning process. We looked at a lot of venues all over California and when we visited Beltane we knew it had to be there. We were looking for a venue that had nearby guest accommodations (200+ person wedding) but would allow for us to stay on site with our families and really slow down and enjoy that time with them. Beltane has a magic about it that can't be quantified and it's from the care that Lauren & the entire team put into every detail. We stayed with both of our families Thursday - Monday and hosted our rehearsal dinner there on Thursday night. The food was incredible thanks to Chef Neil, every detail was so thoughtful, and the whole thing just flowed. Our families felt completely at home. The rooms are beautiful, the grounds are stunning, and we couldn't have been more relaxed. Lauren, Alexandria, Elise, Angie, Brian and the entire team are the best at what they do. They were flexible, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our weekend special. In an industry full of venues that feel impersonal and transactional, Beltane is the epitome of warmth and personality. We can't recommend Beltane enough.

    Wedding Venue Review:…read more It's no exaggeration to say that partnering with Beltane Ranch MADE our wedding and was our single greatest decision. They overdelivered on every aspect of our entire weekend and made us feel like family in the process. In a sea of wedding venues that feel like "wedding factories"- impersonal and transactional, Beltane is a absolute gem. We felt instant trust with Lauren and her team. They were incredibly flexible and accommodated our requests seamlessly. The biggest feeling that comes to mind when reflecting on our experience is "taken care of". The property is stunning and they really make you feel like it's yours for the weekend. Our guests, especially those staying on property, could not stop talking about how special it was. The rooms are luxurious and well-appointed, the breakfast they serve is amazing, and their staff are some of the most hospitable people I've ever met. The day of our wedding, the views were incredible. We were initially worried about road noise, but we didn't hear anything day of. The sunset was gorgeous. They really are in a special spot! Beltane also as fantastic relationships in Sonoma County. Every vendor I spoke with was eager to work at Beltane and knew the venue inside and out. We can't wait to come back, stay, and attend their events for years to come.

    Where do I start? First off I had never heard of this quiet little paradise before, but a friend…read morerecommended it when I was asking about a relaxing place to take my wife on her birthday. BEST ADVICE EVER. Even before we got there I could tell how nice and accommodating the entire staff was. we booked the upgraded little bungalow and the famous Calistoga Mud Bath. It was worth every penny to ensure my wife had the most wonderfully relaxing birthday she could imagine. The room was great, the pool and hot tubs were fantastic, the bungalow had its own soaking tub inside as well, but the mud bath was insanely relaxing and leaves your skin feeling amazing. The grounds are beautiful as well, they have bikes you can take for a spin, and bocci ball which I personally love as well. tons of great eats with 5 mins from the property. I couldn't recommend more. 10/10 Stars

    I've been going to Golden Haven for over 45 years and it's always been the best place to go and…read morerelax The mud bath experience is amazing and finishing with a massage and enjoying the mineral pool. Wine and treats from Napa is a treat to bring along for late night snack or picnic! However, this time, I had an emergency situation where we almost needed to change our reservation, everybody was. incredibly accommodating kind and available for any changes needed. The staff is very kind and helpful. I believe that anybody who's heading out through Napa to Calistoga, St Helena, should definitely make a stop here.
