The breakfast service and food was incredible and we loved having our coffee delivered earlier (and then more coffee at breakfast time). The wine happy hour with lots of wine options and our own veggie and dips platter was delicious and fun too. We met other great guests and loved our stay. We'd also walk to downtown for meals and exploring which was a great walk and most of the exercise I got on this vacation... While we were there and planning our next trip back, we heard that they're unfortunately closing for 6+ months in 2025 since they have new owners. I really hope the same charm and all the special detail comes back to this spot when they re-open (and hope they're not closed for long!)!

We stayed in the Alexander Valley Suite to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It has a large tub in the room that comfortably fits two and overlooks the romantic fireplace. It also has a comfortable king sized bed. Definitely a perfect room for a special occasion. A full breakfast is offered every morning and you get to select where to dine, such as the River Room (recommended), the dining room, garden patio, or even in your room. The menu selection is extensive and generous. Every evening there is a happy hour with a great selection of local wine and a snack platter that is delightful! They also serve warm chocolate chip cookies. This is an incredible to meet new people. Each night we had stimulating conversation with guests who traveled far and wide. We were late for dinner both nights because of the great discussions we had. Briana was the manager on site and she is incredible! She needs to teach a master class on hospitality. She thought of everything and was so warm and accommodating. We had a special and memorable time. The River Belle Inn goes above and beyond to create an experience you will remember and talk about for awhile. Looking forward to our next visit to River Belle Inn.

Downtown was a short walk (groceries, pizza, sandwiches, anything you need) and on the property there were kitchen spaces for us to hang out with plenty to do on the property. Rooms #11 & 12 were amazing. 11 is the larger room and larger bathroom with 2 full beds. 12 has a pullout sofa and full bed. Easily sleeps 2 couples in each room or mom and dad and 2 kids, but that's not what you're there for. Outside (if you take both spaces) is a large outdoor deck divided in half by a wall but connected so you can get from one room to the other. It has a shared yard beyond that. The landscaping is amazing. The property is on the river with tons of space to chill in the water. They have a deck for the facility and everyone can use it. It's shared so be prepared to be with other people but it is a place that seems to attract a good crowd. Everyone who we ran into there was nice. Another thing on the property they was cool was coffee, fresh ice cold filtered water, popcorn, and the front desk made the kids cotton candy daily. There is an ice machine there as well so you can roast in the sun and drink ice cold filtered water till you pop. That part of the place is in the outdoor kitchen which is community and has board games and seating for everyone. Outside the kitchen is bathrooms and seating areas. 2 fireplaces for s'mores and I believe a bbq pit (I can't remember we have a travel size Traegar they let us use) as well. If I were to get married or have a party it would 1000% be here. I think there is 12 rooms and I'd rent the whole spot for it without even thinking twice. Maybe bring extra help to keep the party rolling but this place legit is perfect for it. They also have like a VIP outdoor seating area we didn't end up getting but has a TV and some "roped off" area to hang out at that is an amazing setup. I can keep going but we loved this place. Even upon arrival our room had spiders have babies in the room (happens yall it's on the river and def outdoorsy) and my wife felt awkward asking because we didn't want to sound like the complaining people but we asked for a vacuum to get them out. The lady actually came in the room and helped us. 5 star stay. 5 star people, oh and being a licensed contractor and getting along with people who work, the people who kept the grounds were cool too. Super nice to our kids, and when you see the landscape, you can tell they are good at their job. Can't say enough good stuff. We will be back.

We do an annual wine-tasting trip in the area and have previously stayed in a hotel. The Lodge gave us the opportunity to all be together in one large house, while still affording the privacy of plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The only reason I'm not 5-starring this review is that we had an ant problem when we arrived, and the house was out of TP, both issues that were rectified, but still brought major inconvenience. Also, the hot tub was very nice and warm, but bubbles wouldn't work. We would definitely rent here again, and hope to maybe do something in the summer months so we can use the pool and sun deck area. Overall, a good experience. Thank you Alexander Valley Lodge!

One bedroom only had curtains on half the windows, we had to put up a sheet which wasn't easy to do. The view from the dining room is fantastic and there is plenty of room for 10 around the table. The view isn't worth the long winding, steep, gravel road, with a drop off on one side, that gets you to the house. The patio is lovely to relax on, but don't recommend turning on the waterfall, it smells moldy. Maybe if it was less expensive, described & photographed more accurately, I could have dealt with some of the issues, but for the price it was too high for what we had to deal with. I don't like posting bad reviews, but I want folks to know what they are getting for their money.

This place is a fabulous hidden gem about ten minutes from downtown Healdsburg and only a few minutes from nearby wineries. The cottage is situated at the end of a long driveway, overlooking rolling hills that you'll find in this part of Sonoma. It's a clean and comfortable home converted from an old barn, where the owners now live. And they've done an amazing job updating the one-bedroom with a new bath, modern appliances, a large flat screen tv, and even a mini-kitchen stocked with local croissants, jams, and organic teas... But what got me is that unlike so many wine country B&Bs that look cute online and end up feeling corporate in person, the place doesn't feel contrived or pretentious at all -- it's relaxing, romantic, and rustic (how's that for alliteration) in a very real way, which is exactly how a weekend in wine country should be done. Also, gotta love how spacious and warm the place is, even in November (our favorite time to do wine country...). It was just two of us this weekend, but the place could easily host up to 6 with the two queen-sized futons in the living room mean. If you're able to, check out the cute gardens full of local produce all around the home and if you're lucky, you may meet the most awesome Yellow Lab ever. Did I mention the owners even make their own organic honey -- how sweet is that?

I definitely reiterate the sentiments from the first reviewer. This place is a find!…read more It's the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of city life - relaxed, quiet, and quaint. Whether you're asleep in the ridiculously comfortable bed, munching on croissant and jam on the breakfast patio, or meandering through the adjacent gardens, this is a serene base for a Sonoma getaway. The cottage has the amenities and space to host a family or pair of couples for a week-long vacation, but it's convenient location and reasonable price are also perfect for a couple just looking to spend a weekend wine tasting and enjoying idyllic "downtown" Healdsburg.
