Stayed here for New Year's Eve weekend. A sweet Bavarian get away spot. Our room was small but…read moreclean and adequate for the two-night stay. It's an older building on the river so it's not high luxury or filled with modern convenience (like an elevator). But we loved the chalet feel, the big fire in the lobby fireplace, the decor. The newer addition houses the restaurant and bar which are very spacious. Continental breakfast was included and a good start to the day. It's quiet, warm, clean and affordably priced. Very much like little hotels we've been to in Europe. Recommend for a short trip, and suggest getting a room with a view of the river if available.

We visited this lovely restaurant/hotel for dinner on a cold Sunday night in November…read more They have a lot of weddings, as it had a large hall with bright lights and folding chairs/tables. Not inviting so we sat at a high boy in the darkened bar, which was much nicer. I'm sure it's beautiful to sit on the balcony in the summer on warm nights. We chatted with the German owner who was doubling as a bartender, who was very nice. We loved the German influences in the bar, as we had just been to Oktoberfest in Munich. The owner's daughter Sarah runs the kitchen. My husband had a pork tenderloin schnitzel "Vienna style" ($20) and I had a jaegerschnizel with mushroom gravy ($20) and both were excellent. We split the potato pancakes (two with sour cream and apple sauce, $12) which were served crispy but tasty. They had a nice German beer and wine list. We finished with a delicious apple strudel to complete a lovely meal. I recommend this restaurant for tasty dinners in a unique venue.

It is dog friendly and so welcoming. The Inn hosts a fabulous Wine Bar and beautiful breakfast, lovely views, and large rooms. It is also the perfect stay located at the center of Occidental's charming town. The rooms are themed with verandas with lovely views of the town and forest views. The rooms are spacious, welcoming, and comfortable. We enjoyed the cozy fireplace seating area, the lovely veranda, and charming atmosphere of the main entrance, balcony, cozy robes, and a large bath jacuzzi. The breakfast was exceptional. We enjoyed the large breakfast buffet with hot dishes upon order (all included). See you again!

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!

We had an amazing stay at Boon! Marco and Peter were so hospitable and treated us extremely well…read more This is our second time here and both times Marco made sure we were taken care of. He's the best! He needs a raise! I've stayed at several other resorts here but this is by far my favorite. The property is well maintained, super relaxing and grounding. 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!

We enjoyed staying overnight with our dog in a comfortable cottage!…read more We booked the basic studio. The bed was not super sturdy but it was comfortable enough for a 1-night stay. The bathroom was surprisingly spacious and large, with a full size tub/shower. There was a mini-fridge and a coffee maker. The cottage we stayed in had two studios, with a shared wall. Unfortunately we could hear the people on the other side of the wall whenever they were talking (and unfortunately they were talking very early in the morning), so keep that in mind if you're sensitive to noise and booking a studio. Right outside our cottage was the fire pit, which was lovely in the evening with supplies for s'mores! We loved how dog-friendly this property was. There was a dedicated pet relief area that was fully fenced off. The continental breakfast starts at 8:30 and has a decent selection. Check-in and check out process was easy. Parking was right outside the gate along the property. We would stay here again.

You won't find graveled pathways here, but you'll find naturally forming streams and unique kinds of lizards surrounded by sounds of wood peckers and even gun shots from the nearby range.

Food was so-so, indoor hot tub didn't work properly and was running most of the night. Overall, it wasn't a good experience for the hefty price tag we payed. Update: The owner of Avalon, Hilary, has contacted me a couple of days ago, expressing sincere concern about our disappointing stay at her B&B back in April 2007. It is a good sign that she is taking reviews and opinions about her business serious, as every competent business owner should. I attribute the somewhat mediocre experience to her absence and I am sure that our experience would have been different if the family would not have been out of town during our visit. I have to echo the two other posters in regards to the rooms and surroundings of the Avalon Bed & Breakfast. The room we stayed in was in impeccable condition, the picturesque surroundings and tranquility we got to enjoy on the patio were perfect, except for the above mentioned problems. That's the sole reason I can't give it 5 stars. However, Hilary has since offered us a free night at her establishment, which is a nice way of trying to remedy our experience. It shows she truly does care about her guests and patrons and we might take her up on her offer.

From the moment we arrived, everything felt special and thoughtfully done. The suite had its own private enclosed area with a fire pit and a jacuzzi, which made it feel incredibly intimate and relaxing. The bed was hands down the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I could honestly stay in it all day and would come back just to sleep in that bed again. They provided yummy snacks, there is a full kitchen, and the space itself was very cozy and warm. It felt like the perfect place to fully unwind and enjoy the stay. Everyone at the lodge was extremely friendly and welcoming. The bar is just a few steps down, which was very convenient, and during Christmas the lodge is absolutely beautiful. They had a huge Christmas tree that made the entire place feel magical and festive. I would highly recommend staying here. Winning the raffle introduced us to a place we will absolutely be coming back to.
