Love and care, everywhere!
The owners of Mine & Farm are so warm and welcoming. On our arrival, we were greeted by Lulu, their friendly Labradoodle. Beautiful little details all over the property. The common area was cozy and comfortable that we played Scrabble every night we were there. Loved the breakfasts - so delicious! Everything is done with love and care. We liked it so much we canceled our plans and stayed an extra day!

The Inn is under new management. They have lots of plans for improvements while keeping the best of the Inn. Love the hot tub and convenience of the guest kitchen!! It’s close to everything as well and even a perfect walking spot for brisk morning hikes.

Just OK
B&B needs some TLC...It was clean and homey but worn...most B&B's we stay in have wine and cheese and some snacks for guest...they had one plate of crumbly coconut cookies that were gone once all the guests checked in and never replenished...shower door (louver style) was difficult to open and close...no tissue in the room...towels were rough...

Response from Dana - owner/innkeeper on Jun 4, 2019
We're sorry you didn't have a great time. We provide tissues upon request. Because we're a country inn on septic, we can't have tissues down the plumbing. We have a cookie contest every year and those cookies won the first year. Guests submit recipes and other guests judge them and choose. They're quite good. If you'd asked or if I'd noticed that they were gone, I'd have refilled it.

A Perfect Weekend Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sonoma Orchid Inn. The room was lovely and even better was the main lounge area with a warm fire. The absolute best reason to stay here is breakfast. Simply delicious. We left with several jars of the homemade jams. I would highly recommend this gem and hope to return soon. Oh and did I mention the sheets? So cozy.

Disliked: Staff & service
I am very disappointed to put a negative review for a business in Sonoma, as we are locals (live 1 hr away), we love Sonoma and I am all about supporting local businesses. However, this one “deserves” a thorough review: The good: Location, Grounds, Nature The bad: Facility, rooms that need update and more cleaning (think of a $60 motel for $300 that we paid over Memorial Day) The ugly: Service that is selective (varies by customers); passive aggressive owners (two men who seems to be nice, but the smile is fake) – just read other reviews who mentioned dealing with them IN SHORT, as I ran out of characters (you can read my full review on Yelp - and please do, because I try to be fair for the owners to provide the full picture of my experience): $40 for breakfast charge for a 4 yrs old child, after being told they would not charge me (later, found out I should be happy, as they charge $50 "normally") $50 more if you book it on Expedia - the hotel tells you at check out, laughingly, next time, book with us, you can save $50 (I called Expedia and they gave me a refund - a $50 coupon for future use)

Response from Dana - Owner on Jun 16, 2018
We did tell you we would charge you when you showed up with an extra person without any prior notification. The rate shown on your receipt was our "net" rate after Expedia's commission - a fact I explained to you at the time. We have no idea what Expedia charges for our rooms, only what they pay us. I'm sorry you were disappointed. Again - we told you when you checked in that there would be a charge for an additional person. Our standard rate for extra people is $50. It's not just for breakfast, but for the wear and tear that additional people take on the grounds. Your son was ill-behaved, running around yelling, opening other guests' rooms, entering our private areas, etc. while you payed attention to your friends, not the child. If anyone is passive aggressive in this story, it's you.

Relaxing in the Woods
We had an amazing Fri Sat stay. Tucked in the woods on a hill far enough away from traffic noise but handy. We were welcomed by a burning fireplace and one of the hosts. We were given a thorough tour of the public area and well equipped guest mini kitchen. There's an extremely cozy living room with a game table. Guerneville is close by and we viewed the annual Holiday Light Parade. There's a great variety of many restaurants in the area. First mornings's breakfast was a delicious quiche with all the trimmings and second morning an incredible french toast soufflé . We had a perfect weekend. Thanks to the hosts for their special relaxing getaway and their attention to detail.

Amazing homemade breakfast together with all the other guests. Very nice hosts. Rooms are very romantic. I especially liked the infrared light in the bathroom, which made it nicely warm after the shower. We stayed there with a little baby. The Narcissus room was a little small for the baby crib but it worked out.

We enjoyed a repeat stay at the Sonoma Orchid Inn. The owners are extremely friendly and accommodating. They provided helpful advice about things to do and see in the area. The breakfast was delicious. The inn isn't fancy, but it's comfortable, homey and clean. It's very close to Guernville, local Russian River wineries, Healdsburg, etc., so there is plenty to do while staying there. We'll be back.

Loved it!
We had a great experience at the Sonoma Orchid Inn. Brian and Dana were welcoming from the moment we arrived. The inn is a lovely old home, with a handful of comfortable rooms. We stayed off the guest kitchen on the main floor. Considering we were in the middle of foot traffic for guests staying in the upstairs rooms, we heard little noise outside our door. We really liked how guests are made to feel at home and have access to a refrigerator, coffee maker, tea kettle, fresh cookies, and other creature comforts. The living room gives guests the opportunity to relax, read, chat, and have a glass of wine by the fireplace. Both breakfasts were delicious and cooked fresh. Our only negative was the sound of traffic on the road, but it was a minor annoyance in the morning and late afternoon. We are already talking about our next trip to the area and staying at the inn again!
