This will be my go-to stay while in the Healdsburg area. Breakfast was delicious and inventive and the facilities were fabulous -- putting green, pickleball, pool -- all while in a quiet area of town. Staff was helpful and friendly, and the rooms were thoughtfully appointed, avoiding microplastics in cups and bottles. About a 20 minute walk to shops and restaurants.
