The atmosphere was calm and serene, paired with exceptional customer service. I'm usually pretty particular about mattresses and pillows, but these exceeded my expectations--they were genuinely comfortable. Everything throughout the property was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged. The little touches really stood out: rotating complimentary iced teas each day, fresh cookies, and even 24-hour complimentary sake. The daily wine hour with snacks was a highlight--it created a warm, social environment where you could connect with other guests. Breakfast was delicious, and there are multiple cozy outdoor spaces to relax, complete with fire pits. Every detail felt intentional and carefully considered. I can't recommend this place enough--it's worth every penny. We'll absolutely be coming back.

I…read moretook advantage of my credit card points and was able to book two nights in the Ryokan Creekside suite. It was such a peaceful experience and I was happy to be surrounded with nature. Check-in process was easy. All the staff members were so kind and welcoming! I had a quick tour of the property and was shown to my room. There is free breakfast every day from 8 am to 10 am and wine hour from 4:30-5:30 pm. There's also different sakes and wines you can taste in the common area. We took advantage of the marble tub and soaked in it a couple of times. It was soo relaxing. The creekside view and atrium was a nice touch! It reminded me of Japan so much! The only complaint is the bed...it wasn't comfortable and I felt like I was sinking into it. Tips- there's no microwave in the room, but there is a fridge. Bring snacks and food you don't need to heat up. There's no room service and there's limited restaurants in Glen Ellen so you may need to drive to Sonoma for food.

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!

Just paid another visit to the Olea Hotel for my husband's birthday. Still love this place but it's…read morestarting to lose some of the charm it once had. 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.

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.

The Martini menu is clever. It's fun to try the kitschy named drinks like "I'll Have What She's Having". Even the names will make you smile and the drinks are yummy. There are also other cocktails offered, not only Martinis Karen the owner and bartender keeps smiling and making friendly conversation as she takes excellent care of her patrons. Additionally the Inn part of the name represents the 7 charming rentable cottages behind the Martini Bar. I find it refreshing that there's a new place opened in the area that is a classy destination to meet with friends and enjoy a unique and fun drink.

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.
