Too expensive for what they offer
Decided to give Farmhouse Inn a try for a 2 night stay. The room was nice and welcoming, rustic charm, clean and comfortable. We booked via Virtuoso so when we checked in, I asked for an upgrade. They showed us 2 rooms, but we did not like them and chose to remain with our basic room. We needed to charge our electric car. The front desk assured us that if we left our key with them they would take care of it overnight. The next morning, we saw that it was not done! Dinner at Farmstead was good. Menu selection is very limited though. Breakfast has only 4 options. The option I chose comes with a fruit, and when I called to ask why it was not provided we were told they had run out of fruit! Odd. It's a cute inn, but for $1,000 a night, not worth it. We will not return. The best thing is the cookies they offer with turndown service.
Be the first to ReplyDO NOT DO IT!!
Don’t do it! Location is right near the highway rooms are very noisy when you asked to get moved they’ll have no availability. The rooms are so small they’re smaller than my walkin closet. We couldn’t sleep the first night so we left they charged us for the second night even though we had to go rent someplace else total scam total ripoff.
Be the first to ReplySnobbish, Cliquish & Narcissistic
haven of stylish comfort” - I was accused of deliberately breaking a shower head in a moist steam shower that had been plastered on with caulk and I had reported as not secure “handcrafted amenities” - it seemed a burden to get extra cookies. Can 3 people in a room get 3 packs of cookies? I asked ahead twice and still the housekeeper “had to check” if it was ok “attention to every detail” - after driving 3 hours not knowing where to park with no one at the “valet” stand, couldn’t even find the lobby to access a restroom right away. No glass of wine upon arrival or asking how the drive went. Front desk service is better at 2 star hotels. “With only 25 rooms we pride ourselves on the Inn’s intimacy and privacy, creating a feeling of visiting a private estate.” - The property now is SO crowded. Whenever you walk the property you run into staff or people watching you from the lobby or restaurants. The Farmstand seems jammed in and I wouldn’t wanna use the pool or hot tub right underneath the restaurant being stared at. I didn’t feel ANY privacy or intimacy. Everything from the hiking trail, to the rooms, dining options and pool areas are jammed into a tiny area that is not serene or relaxing. I don’t feel the property really cares to cater to ALL types of guests. After telling the owner Joe earlier in the morning how pleased I was to be back after being a regular before the remodel, he couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge my family as he saw us leave, after we cut our stay short from rude treatment from the maintenance and front desk staff. With sooo many other options in scenic destinations, this overpriced property in the woods needs to greatly improve on service and quality to sustain itself. My family will go where impeccable service and quality accommodations are standard for all ages, races and disabled persons.
Be the first to ReplyGreat Memories!
We’ve been coming to Napa and Sonoma for 30 years and have stayed in many places. A trusted innkeeper suggested Farmhouse so we went with two other couples for vineyard visits and wine tasting. Sonoma’s draw is its casual, agricultural feel and more reasonable prices. The Farmhouse personified the area set amidst a forested area, landscaped with lavender, rosemary bushes and thyme. Farmhouse has a sense of place. The staff, from the lead concierge who helped us find wonderful boutique wineries and trouble shot for us, to wait staff to everyone in the office, the food & beverage manager, were friendly and welcoming. The property has a variety of rooms, some very quiet (barn house suites) and some pick up some of the road noise. Breakfast can be in your room or in the Farmhouse restaurant. On night the six of us sat outside by the fireplace, surrounded by flaming heaters, and had wood grilled pizza and other casual foos at Farmstand — the casual restaurant. Great food and fun! Our room had a two sided fireplace and a large deck to enjoy the view. Very comfortable space, heated bathroom floors, steam shower — we had a lovely time!
Be the first to ReplyDon't go to this Hotel, overpriced for the experience
Arrived to an extremely noisy hotel. The Farmhouse Inn is on a freeway, we did not see this fact in the hotel information. The room was cold, the bed was uncomfortable, the towels were scratchy, the bathrobes were thin, there were several spiders in the room, we were served cold food and coffee, and the electrical outlets in the bathroom didn't work. We told them we wanted to leave after arriving, but the hotel would not credit us for any of the three nights we reserved. We stayed one night and left. They insisted that we pay for the nights that we didn't stay. We tried to cancel our massages 22 hours in advance and they told us we needed to give 24 hours. We were extremely disappointed with The Farmhouse and will not return. We are still in shock that they can ask over 1,200 a night for this dump.
Be the first to ReplyUnfortunately, the experience we had at the Farmhouse Inn was not what we had been hoping for.
When I embarked on the search for the perfect destination to celebrate our 30th Anniversary, I explored a few options: Solage in Calistoga and Farmhouse Inn. After some consideration, taking into account my husband's preference for Pinot wines,we ultimately chose to stay at Farmhouse Inn for a more intimate ambiance. The decision was also influenced by our reservation at their highly regarded fine dining establishment the Farmhouse Inn restaurant, which had received exceptional reviews under the new chef. I booked a king-size room through booking.com to ensure we could fully savor the dinner without having to worry about driving afterward. However, to our disappointment, we were assigned the most unfavorable room in the entire resort, facing a busy and noisy street (quite the opposite of what we had anticipated for a special occasion which was noted in the reservation!). The resort was not fully occupied during our midweek stay, so I inquired about the possibility of moving to a quieter room. Surprisingly, the only option offered to us was another room at an additional $$$$ (bearing in mind that this was already quite an expensive resort). Given the circumstances, it would have been a pleasant gesture on their part to provide a complimentary upgrade for a special occasion in a resort with plenty of available accommodations. Regrettably, our stay at the Farmhouse Inn lacked any special touches that one would expect to commemorate a milestone occasion like our 30th anniversary. There was no complimentary bottle of wine awaiting us, no fresh flowers to enhance the ambiance—nothing to make our stay feel truly exceptional. This was a significant letdown, the Farmhouse Inn did not go the extra mile to make it memorable for us. Adding to our disappointment, we found a dead bug on the bed in the room. I would like to emphasize that this review solely pertains to the way our reservation was handled and not to the Farmhouse Inn restaurant, where we dined and had an absolutely divine experience! The culinary creations were impressively innovative, the presentation was impeccable, and the wine pairings were thoughtfully selected and truly delightful.
Be the first to ReplyStay at The Farmhouse-you won't regret it!
Beautiful property, fabulous restaurant, incredibly nice/helpful staff. What a charming place in a beautiful part of the country. The Farmhouse Inn was our first stay in a multi-site California wine country vacation. The only disappointment was that no other place we stayed could compete with the hospitality and standards of this one!
Be the first to ReplyParadise in Sonoma County
The Farmhouse Inn experience is simply unparalleled in its visual appeal, room environment, dining, amenities, and concierge service. I’m mildly horrified that some of the other reviewers found anything to complain about! I have to give shout-outs to Letisha, Russell, Eric, Teresa, Avery, and Cassandra for making our 20th anniversary magical. It’s a pricey stay, but arguably worth every penny. Visual appeal: my wife and I had the fortune of visiting Sonoma County for a week of sunny, warm days, but we were blown away by how stunning the resort is. The natural beauty is coupled with meticulous grounds care that really shows (including things like the walking path gravel being raked in patterns daily). Room environment: just to list a few of the room’s features (we stayed in a barn junior suite), our room included a steam shower, soaking tub, heated bathroom floors, indoor/outdoor gas fireplace, and a lovely king bed. Even what felt like lambs wool throws on the bed and sofa. Amenities: so many to list, I know I’m going to miss some. The bath product bar, snacks and drinks in the room, romantic tea light candles, cookies and milk at turn-down, local wine selection in the in-room wine fridge. All that except the wine was at no additional cost. Now for the no-cost resort amenities! They let you borrow a brand-new Volvo XC-90 as long as you want (on a first-come, first-served basis), or a driver will take you to dinner. But in the front seats, you can enjoy the in-seat massage! Concierge: they are happy to make wine tasting reservations for you, and many of the wineries with which they have partnerships offer them for free to Farmhouse guests (usually $50-100 per person). On top of that, partner wineries visit the resort on a daily basis to offer wine tastings (we missed only one during our stay). And these are not mass-producing wineries; they’re fabulous local (mostly estate) vintners. The concierge pours you a glass from a local vintner upon arrival, and on occasion when you’re just stopping by! I visited often for coffee and a paper each morning, and to pick up the Volvo key for the day’s excursion. And, well, to return the key (sad sigh). Room for improvement: only because I feel like I have to say something constructive, I’ll leave a few words. The room could’ve been a bit darker, but there’s a little window with no shutters that lets outside breezeway light in (room 24). And not that we were trying to watch much on our TV, but the Roku wouldn’t connect, because the room is too far from the router (thanks to Ty for trying anyway!). And if I’m being nit picky, instructions for using the tub and steam shower would’ve been nice. But that’s not bringing me down from 5 stars!

Wonderful stay! My wife and I recently returned to Farmhouse with a small work retreat. Having stayed in the past we knew that the Farmhouse is unbelievable and this stay did not disappoint. From arrival to departure, the team goes out of their way to ensure your comfort and no detail is overlooked. The rooms are stylish, spacious and impeccably clean. The new Farm stand concept is amazing! What started as a food truck in the parking lot has matured into a memorable dining experience and the food is amazing. Do not miss it. We can’t wait to return. Thank you Farmhouse!

We were able to stay here to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and couldn't have selected a better property. Farmhouse Inn is packed with high quality details - - tasty bites at Farmstand, heated tile floors, steam showers, well-appointed rooms, luxurious mattresses, immaculate grounds, and several thoughtful touches including cookies, nightly wine tastings, great pool area and courtyard. S'mores around the fire and Wednesday night movie with snacks were fun options. Location was perfect for exploring the redwoods, coast, and local wineries, shopping, and restaurants. Best of all was the unmatched service - - Teresa and the concierge team lined up a perfect itinerary with tastings at Farmhouse's wine partners, dinners at the best restaurants, and a driver. We felt valued as guests and were treated with class at every turn, at check-in, the spa, and with room service. Finally, you will not be disappointed with dining at the Farmhouse restaurant. This was a vacation we will not ever forget!
Be the first to ReplyDelivery in the details
A luxurious, clean, relaxing, service and detail-oriented stay in nature... trickling fountains, immaculate grounds tended to around the clock, rosemary and wild lavender in the air, clucking chickens, Russian River around the corner and minutes from Healdsburg. Attention to every detail (turn down service with warm cookies, toiletries, warm bathroom floors, steam shower, wine tasting hour, plastic free water stations, etc.) and outstanding service... everyone we encountered from the moment we walked in - especially concierge (Eric) to our favorite amazing server (Michael) at FarmStand, drivers, bellman, were excellent. Top notch. The only critique would be that the pool needs resurfacing, but I even enjoyed that as well. The only negative was having to leave.
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely top luxury hotel
I had wanted to visit here since they opened and for our 30th anniversary, we finally made it. Almost didn’t come here bc of recent reviews on TA so I had to come on to right this ship! First of all, this is understated absolute non pretentious 5 star luxury! It is personal and bespoke and intimate. The sheets are not low quality as one reviewer said. The blinds are light blocking absolutely, unlike another reviewer said. We enjoyed wine tasting (they have actual wineries come on site to do private testings!), cornhole (I lost), swimming (pool is perfect), sleeping, eating and massage. Dinner…. AMAZING!!!! Recent reviews describe it as not what it used to be. Well, that may have been true, but I am so happy to tell you, it is no longer true! We eat at every fine dining venue we can worldwide, and this was among the best!! The wine pairings were perfect. Portions of everything was perfect. We left neither drunk nor 10 pounds heavier. We left happily content and felt like royalty. Summer is certainly a great time to eat at a farm to table restaurant! Massages (I had Audra, my husband had someone else and I am sorry idk her name), and it was unbelievable. We both left saying we will be back if for no other reason, the massage! So do not hesitate. You will be in heaven at Farmhouse Inn. Well done, and thank you!
Be the first to ReplyCharming Inn with Superb Service
We really enjoyed our stay at Farmhouse Inn. We stayed two nights. We experience top-notch service, a beautifully appointed room and quieter section of Sonoma County. The hotel really is great for those who fly into Santa Rosa airport as it is only 10 min away and they have complimentary Volvo SUVs you can use on a first come, first serve basis. One of the staff members even dropped us off and picked us up for dinner in Healdsburg (about 20 min away). I was really impressed with the level of sophistication from the staff, the pristine condition of the property and small touches throughout.
Be the first to ReplyLovely Inn
Very well run Inn, a team of real and well trained hospitality professionals. The rooms very comfortable. The pool is delightful. Why only 3 stars ? 3 things impacted the enjoyment of our stay 1. “Farmstand” and breakfast were very expensive, not generous and a fairly narrow/limited offer. 2. Road noise 3. No blackout curtains ensure a very early wake
Be the first to ReplyOverwhelming UNDER whelmed sadly
I tried to not be negative as I didn’t want it to taint my precious trip with my husband. I will list the several reasons why I am dissatisfied. One of main reasons besides location that I choose a reservation is to expect better than my own so that it’s worth going away from home. - bed was so hard ( I can’t believe that the mattress was that horrible) and as mentioned before the sheets were of extremely poor quality. Since the sheets don’t get changed to conserve water it’s even more challenging to have to sleep in poor quality. Also- I am not so sure that was a king size bed. We own king size and they are bigger than what we had in our room. Must be old mattress and frames since every time we moved the bed moved as well. - while a lovely idea to have heated floors the grout was dirty and felt I had to wear my flip flops so my feet didn’t touch the floor. - upon arrival I was asked to offer 30 extra dollars a day. Where we already tip above 25% it was insulting to be asking for more. While I understand covid and various reasons why perhaps 🤔 , I still found it insulting. I half expected to get a charge for each bag of luggage like you do on an airplane. Your room charge should be politely quite enough instead of asking for more. We of course added the 30% and then we tipped over 25% wherever we have gone. Perhaps the young girl who checked us in might learn how to ask for that in a less rude way? - upon check in I was then guided over to purchase your spa products. Couple of notes about this: I traveled all day to arrive and did feel awkward to have to then say no to that. - perhaps you can consider offering samples of all these products before expecting someone to buy them the minute they arrive. - the pool - I swam one day and have to say that it was nice area but it was cold, looked dirty but it’s just worn down. I live in a condo that has an outdoor pool that is heated to 86 degrees. I swim a mile a day and one of the reasons for your location was the pool so I could swim. While the weather was cooler last week I understand why perhaps but it’s just again another reason that the 4 different couples I know in my building not including friends and family that frequently visit the wine country would be difficult to recommend your Inn without knowing your changes were made or being honest with each person. Having travelled all over the world and consistently look for the best places to stay. We expect quality since we have been fortunate to have it in our daily lives. For the price I would say I was underwhelmed and deeply disappointed.

Wow! Fantastic resort!! Run, don’t walk to this lovely property. Just 25 rooms. Lovely suite, delicious breakfast, excellent concierge, and unsurpassed service. Really glad that we visited and definitely plan to return. Highly recommend.
Be the first to ReplyThe best hotel in Sonoma!
The Farmhouse Inn is a charming, bucolic property with excellent service, rustic-elegant rooms and strong concierge support as you explore Sonoma County. We stayed in a Barn Junior Suite on the second floor of a building towards the back of the property. The room was a great size with comfortable furniture, a large closet and two-sided fireplace to enjoy in the room or in a pair of Adirondack chairs on your private deck. There was a fine attention to detail in everything in the room — from the rustic-modern decor and hefty mugs available for in-room coffee to the welcome amenities, custom sign and personalized note acknowledging the birthday we were celebrating that weekend. Our room had a delicious bottle of Sonoma Pinot to welcome us, as well as some delicious, house-made cheesecake brownies. There was also a curated selection of wine for purchase in the room, as well as a complimentary non-alcoholic minibar with local snacks. The bathroom was a particular highlight with a large, jetted tub that overlooks your patio and the adjacent forest, a large steam shower and heated floors. Beyond our room, the property has an efficient layout and is beautifully landscaped. There is a central pool and hot tub with an adjoining casual restaurant (Farmstand) where we enjoyed lunch one day. There are a couple of fire pits near the entrance to the pool where they offer nightly s’mores with homemade marshmallows and host a daily wine hour with one of their partner wineries. Towards the front of the property is a reception building which houses a small boutique, a station for coffee and snacks, and a “bath bar area” where you can grab a complimentary selection of seasonal soaps, bath salts and brown sugar body scrub. Near the reception building is the original farmhouse which houses the eponymous Michelin-starred restaurant that is currently undergoing renovation. Towards the back of the property, there are plenty of lovely lounging spaces, a chicken coop, swinging day beds, croquet and an oversized Jenga set. There is also a “Wellness Barn” where you can receive spa treatments. My wife used the spa while we were there and said the massage she received was excellent and the entire experience was well managed. They have a nice boutique in the spa as well as a stone fireplace and outdoor swinging day bed to relax in before your treatment. There was also a selection of teas and waters to enjoy before or after your treatment. The facilities at the “Wellness Barn” are somewhat limited, but all of the bedrooms, I believe, have soaking tubs and most have saunas or steam showers. My wife's only feedback was that with limited facilities, guest should just be brought immediately to the treatment rooms to change versus having access to a limited locker room. The food we enjoyed on property did a great job of showcasing local ingredients. We were not able to eat at The Farmhouse Inn Restaurant while we were there because it is under renovation, but we have dined there before and the experience and food are excellent. We did enjoy the in-room breakfast and had lunch at Farmstand before we left. The breakfast was ordered the evening before by selecting from a few preset options and was delivered on time the following morning with a diverse bounty of things to try. We had a selection of local meats and cheeses, seeded toast, three kinds of pastries, yogurt, granola, fresh-squeezed juice and coffee. Farmstand was also a great experience given the wonderful weather, terrific service from Oscar and delicious food, with my standout dishes being the half chicken and Meyer lemon tart. The service we experienced was consistently excellent from Sierra and Teresa at the Front Desk and Concierge team to Oscar at Farmstand, Andy from MacRostie Winery, and the folks who helped us with luggage and housekeeping (who even stocked the room with extra robes and waters for the three of us). I want to especially acknowledge Russell who we met at the nightly wine hour by the pool while sampling MacRostie Winery’s excellent Pinot, Chardonnay and Rosé before we headed to dinner in Healdsburg. Not only did Russell offer to drive us to and from our dinner reservation, but his husband Andy who was the host from the visiting winery and his neighbor, Jerry, who is the sommelier at Barndiva restaurant in Healdsburg both delivered great surprises for our friend who was celebrating his birthday with us that weekend. My only constructive feedback about the experience is that we were asked if we would like the pool heated before our arrival (which we said said "yes" to) and the pool was freezing and not particularly clean while we were there. I think this may have been a function of the hot tub being under renovation. We did not spend as much time at the pool as we expected though because the staff set up a number of great tasting and dining experiences for us. One of the most distinguishing aspects of a stay at The Farmhouse Inn is the excellent concierge service. There are around two dozen partner wineries that have been selected by the owners that offer elevated and typically free tastings to Farmhouse Inn guests. We took part in two while we were in town — Croix Estate and Flambeaux Vineyards — and both were amazing. Our exceptional host Thomas at Croix poured around 11 wines and made us feel like we were VIPs the entire visit. Elizabeth at Flambeaux hosted us on the most beautiful tasting patio I have seen in Sonoma, while offering great winery and food recommendations for the rest of our trip. The consistency across the experiences — with the folks at Farmhouse and the recommended wineries and restaurants all knowing our reason for visiting Sonoma (to celebrate a birthday) went a long way in making the experience feel special. The Farmhouse Inn is an incredibly easy experience to recommend. It has a strong sense of place, excellent service and deep integration into the fabric of Sonoma with wonderful support and access to phenomenal wineries, restaurants and activities in the area. It is now our preferred place to stay in the whole county and I think it best represents the warm, comfortable and familial hospitality that epitomizes the best of the region.
Be the first to ReplyOne of the best stays I've ever had
Here's the thing, You have to experience Napa first in order to fall in love with Sonoma. Our stay at the Farmhouse inn was the perfect ending to a Napa/Sonoma family trip in November. Leading up to our stay Teresa from concierge help me plan every detail, including reserving for us the most amazing off the beaten path wineries. Upon arrival, we immediately felt at home. My family and I were excited to try all the complimentary soaps and bath salts we are gifted upon check in. Our room was amazing, a walk-in closet, an indoor fireplace, and private terrace, delicious homemade cookies every night, a world-class bathroom with heated floors, amazing hot tub and shower with sauna. For those who are back at 5pm, the hotel offers complimentary and curated wine tastings, opening its doors to different small wineries to showcase their products. We were lucky to dine at their Michelin-starred restaurant on our first night, and have the most delicious breakfast there every morning. As an added bonus, the Farmhouse has a fantastic spa! Can't wait to go back!

The farmhouse has a new menu of spa treatments so I treated myself to one recently. We made a day of it: my husband had a delicious lunch on the patio while I melted away in the Wellness Barn. The Gems and Stones treatment was otherworldly. I was in the very capable hands of Audra who used cool and hot stones to de-stress my muscles and joints from head to toe. The custom in-house oils are divine and different stones had different oils, creating a bouquet of aromas. I carried those scents in my memory for days and days. The treatment is meant to improve circulation and I truly felt that it did. Normally, after a massage, I want to retreat to bed, but I felt energized and had a fabulous rest of the day. Even better was a fabulous night's sleep. The Farmhouse is worth a stop, even if you don't get the chance to stay the night.
Be the first to ReplyProbably the best hotel stay yet...and that is impressive
How do I begin this write-up? We've been to 50 Countries and have stayed in some really nice hotels, however, this one is at, or darn close to the TOP of our hotel stay's ever! We stayed for 3 nights, and I now wish it was more. Yes, it's pricy, but you get more than you ever could have expected. Besides the obvious beautiful room and bath, etc....it was the people that make this place beyond normal stay's. Yvonne (Hopefully spelled right) made this stay outstanding. She was always attentive and noticed every little detail. For example, she noticed my partner was drinking Ciders, due to having Celiac disease, and with the limited cider options available on site, made sure area produced cider was brought to our room. (Yes, this is the alcoholic cider). Evern beyond the wonderful service she provided, someone in the restaurant, after our first morning breakfast, noticed we ordered the Gluten Free bread. Mysteriously that evening turn down Milk and Cookies, showed a gluten free cookie....which was OUTSTANDING...I ate both! Restaurant is only open a few days a week but the hotels has a "food truck" that produces lunches and dinners on those days. This is NOT a normal food truck....it produced the best meals of our entire 10 days in Sonoma County and we hit some expensive and fancy places. Kudos to the chef for making this a stay we didn't need to leave to have the best food. Might want to mention too that the restaurant also produced probably one of our top 5 meals ever in the world too. Overall, want to give a hand to the owners for making this a place you want to come back to as often as you can and enjoy every second!
