Farmhouse Inn

5 stars would be too generous but 4 stars isnt quite enough. Wish we could give it a 4.5, because that's what it really is! We spent a weekend away at Farmhouse Inn, and what we'll remember most is the sense of peace. It's only 25 rooms, so even on a night when the parking lot was full, the grounds, the patios, the public spaces, all felt like ours. We picked fresh lemon balm and mint from the garden and made tea with lemons we plucked off the tree. That is the kind of thing you remember weeks later. The 5 PM wine tasting and 7 PM s'mores by the fire are the kind of daily rituals that turn a stay into a memory rather than a check-in. Sense of place is the real strength here. The landscaping is beautiful, the floral and art moments throughout the public areas feel considered, the property and common areas feel calm and warm, and the staff are friendly in a way that reads as real rather than scripted. The bathroom in our room was a highlight: excellent water pressure, a proper bathtub and steam shower, well-thought-out fixtures. The in-room coffee setup is a real signal of intent (Nespresso, organic teas, real honey, all the sweeteners, compostable pods). WiFi was reliable everywhere. Pre-arrival room prep was thorough. Also, some of the best slippers we've ever had at a property! A few honest notes that kept this from being a perfect five stars: The welcome was almost there. Lemons, lavender, and dried apricots were set out beautifully when we arrived, but no one at check-in said "please help yourself, this is for you." We weren't sure if it was decorative or generous. A small note or a single verbal touch would have changed the moment from ambiguous to special. Our "private cottage" turned out to share a wall with the neighboring unit. The exterior approach and the way it is marketed both imply detachment, but the construction is not. We could clearly hear our neighbors' normal-volume conversation. If privacy is part of why you are booking, ask in writing about the specific cottage layout before reserving. The wellness barn is a beautiful space, but functionally just a massage room. For a property at this tier and with this farm-to-table wellness positioning, it is genuinely surprising they do not offer group yoga or Pilates classes as a standard at least five days a week. Privates only feels like a real miss for the kind of guest this property attracts. Plus, it would cost them about 2-3 nights of a guest's stay to simply add an infrared sauna. Just odd that it's not there. The gym is 2 Tonal machines and 2 Peloton bikes that don't work, with a rack of weights stuffed behind it all and no room to use them (no mirrors either). An attempt but... off. But, we didn't come here to workout...hiking the Redwoods nearby was where we got our movement! The restaurant itself is a little mid; the food is good quality but not an insane selection and the design of the interior is a total mismatch to the property itself. It's not ugly, it's just not... the relaxing villa feel you get from the rest of the property. It's dark, dreary, and kind of feels like a fancy Chili's design wise (not food quality wise though; it's definitely good quality food) Net: a true 4.5 stars, and a true 5 stars worth of feeling like yourself again. We loved it and would return.

Fantastic getaway for an intimate, casual yet elegant experience. Staff is awesome, eager to meet every need and request. Restaurant is excellent, but very expensive for what you get - wine markups are offensively extreme. Otherwise, few if any complaints.

After being long time guests, I’m sad to report that the hotel has lost its luster after being sold to the Foley group. They have implemented price increases by charging for things that used to be free (snacks and non-alcoholic drinks in rooms, and the shuttle to town, which costs more than an uber). They have also cut back service levels, removing food and drink service at the pool past 2, eliminating free coffee by the pool in the morning, and not consistently having a local winery provide a free tasting on site in the afternoon. The restaurant has fared worse. We had one of the worst meals I’ve ever had at a “fine dining” restaurant. The salmon was very fishy and served with oil soaked “grains.” The Caesar salad looking like it came form Costco, and the steak, while good, was egregiously overpriced. The service was sloppy and there were long waits for drinks. You should defiantly not go to the restaurant, which has changed chefs repeatedly with some simply walking off the job. Breakfast was also sub-par and extremely overpriced.

Such a nice little gem- the place is pretty small, I think they said 25 rooms total, but they have all of the amenities you'd expect at a larger resort. The property includes a really nice restaurant where we ate breakfast and dinner, and is worth coming to for dinner on its own if you're looking for upscale dining. They also have a spa, and I was very happy with my massage. I loved the little touches- like in the lobby they have some scented soaps and other bath products to sample, and the concierge staff was really great. Definitely take advantage of their partner wineries- they have an extensive list of wineries, depending on what you're looking for, and most of the tastings are complimentary. We did one at Flambeaux, which was a private tasting for just us at the property that is normally reserved for wine club members. So we were able to experience this thanks to Farmhouse Inn, as normally the general public would not have been able to do the tasting experience that we did at Flambeaux.

This place is AMAZING! I visited here with my family for 4 day 3 night stay and my goodness it was Amazing! I highly recommend this place because the rooms are clean, spacious and charming. Throughout the property you’re surrounded by greenery and beautiful landscapes. The hotel also offers a wine tour which was so much fun! The food was delicious and the entire staff was were kind , friendly and very professional.
