    Ham and cheese omelet, fig, orange
    Dale W.

    I recently stayed one night (all that was available in late August to book - in March! so you know this is a wonderful place) at Tanglewood House in August 2014. John and Mary were wonderful hosts. Their guest suite is almost like a little attached cottage, in the middle of a lovely wildlife preserve. Although it is minutes away from Hwy 12, one of the main 2-lane roads between Santa Rosa and Sonoma, it is peaceful and quiet. I won't mention all the other amenities I enjoyed because other reviewers have already said it very well. What was really memorable about my stay was first, John and Mary and their beautiful peaceful energy. Their two dogs are proof of this too, and they love greeting new visitors they are meeting for the first time. Brooklyn, their young tricolor collie (with the longest nose I have ever seen!) came by the evening I arrived, and came in to spend a few minutes. The next morning, after Mary's delicious breakfast, I asked John if he would bring their older black poodle, Shadow, over to meet me, which he did. I am a lifelong dog lover and really enjoyed seeing and petting these wonderful creatures. Mary's breakfast for me was lovingly prepared and delicious. John asked me when I arrived if I had any food dislikes. I mentioned I liked my orange juice without pulp and that's what I received. The first course was Mary's home baked zucchini bread (as good as my mother's) and rye toast with homemade preserves, then a fruit course of fresh picked raspberries and blackberries. She said she thought she would make me a ham and cheese omelet and she did, served with an orange slice garnish and a beautiful star-shaped-cut fig, which was no doubt from their tree too. I especially loved sitting at the two-person dining table in the corner of the main room by the fireplace. There is a 2-wall corner window, floor to ceiling, and a perfectly placed bird feeder - there is nothing more relaxing than watching birds. I only live a couple of hours' drive from John and Mary's wonderful haven, so you know I'll return. By the way, in the guest book on the desk, I read many entries that said how many times they had returned - I think the record for one guest was over 50 times! I can definitely understand why. John and Mary, Brooklyn and Shadow all make you feel like royalty.

She was incredibly kind, warm, and knowledgeable, and she took the time to tell us all about the property and what makes Gaige House so special. The property itself is absolutely stunning.

We also had dinner at Glen Ellen Star, which is only about a three-minute walk away, and wow - what an incredible restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious!

We stayed in the Ryokan Zen Creekside Suite and were both smitten the moment we walked in. The room was spacious, and beautifully decorated. They even provided robes and sandals to wear around the room, which was a lovely touch. The soaking tub was exactly as I had imagined, huge, luxurious, and perfect for two. We also loved all the extra amenities, from happy hour with wine and cheese to fresh-baked cookies and a port bar in the evening. The breakfast spread the next morning was equally wonderful. This stay felt like such a special way to celebrate a milestone birthday. I highly recommend spending a night here for any special occasion. It was incredibly romantic and truly memorable.

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.

Don't need to perform no good deeds or un-covet thy neighbor's latest-model oxen to get into heaven. It's right here at Beltane. No virtue required, just your credit card. The decor is Farmhouse Done Right. While most B&Bs look (and smell) like it came straight out of Funeral Parlor Digest, featuring all the furniture that your Depression-era Grandma couldn't even offload at the thrift store, Beltane Ranch delivers Vintage Classy perfectly suited for modern sensibilities. Charming, tasteful, and unassumingly elegant, Beltane captures the elusive vibe of Home Nostalgia that sends you back to a cozy time before the internet (but after penicillin). And did I mention the wrap-around porch is the stuff of Louisiana-level Luxury Lazy? Now I'm all for the happy pursuit of property rights as much as the next corn-fed American, but--with all due respect and with the highest of praise--Beltane makes me want to be a squatter. In fact, I'll just let 'em know that I ain't leaving, and let the Sonoma County sheriff physically drag me off premise--Gaza 2005 style. Thank you, Beltane Ranch. For once in my Chinese life, I'm glad someone took my money.

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.

Breakfast options are plentiful and delicious. Yogurt, granola, pastries, bagels and smoked salmon were always offered with one hot rotational item, quiche and a casserole dish were the items available on our two night stay along with mimosas!! They also have a 24 hour coffee and water station and complimentary cookies. They offer wine and nuts at 5pm to 6pm. There was no charcuterie when we visited in July. There is no restaurant on site. Exceeded my expectations.

From the get go, the manager and workers were all so friendly and helpful. There were initially some issues with dynamic pricing, but they were able to correct things on the back end, which was much appreciated. The main building and breakfast area are both very warm and inviting. The couches and seats are comfortable. There are games and books in the cabinet areas too. The chef provides a tasty breakfast each day, with the menu slightly changing. There is coffee, tea, and hot/cool water available all day. It can get a little crowded at breakfast, so if you are in a large group, go either very early or very late. The afternoon happy hour is pretty relaxed with some offerings of cheese, crackers, and wine. Be sure to ask for gluten-free options, as they have them available. They also prepared nice chocolates for my parents (anniversary) and a cookie for my nephew (birthday), which was a lovely touch. The rooms are fine, some are a little darker and/more dated, but that didn't bother us. The one thing that I would've done differently, is to bring an eye mask and ear plugs. Depending on where your room is located, you could be facing the main street. The doors in certain buildings would slam pretty loudly, so if you had neighbors returning late at night, you would definitely hear them. I am a little fussy with beds, and I found the Vitners King (seemed more like a Cali King?) bed to be a little firm and transferred movement easily. We would consider splurging for the updated rooms next time. Bonus that they have cruiser bikes to borrow. It was very nice to go for a quick ride one of the mornings. The location is fantastic, it's within walking distance to downtown. There are so many great restaurants to visit. In addition, wineries and parks are also a close drive away. Overall a great place to stay and we really enjoyed our visit, thank you!
