9.2/10 Wonderful! (509 reviews)
Friendly & helpful people who know their town & surroundings well helped to make our weekend a memory we will hope to repeat at this very same inn!! I wished we'd had more time to take advantage of all the enriching & artistic activities as well as the wine, but we had to first find a near by Costco to borrow one of their loaner hearing aid chargers. Can you imagine being with someone who could not hear you for 3 days!!! Well, that problem was solved early & we were able to take advantage of all the reasons we chose this area. We relived memories from my childhood among the redwoods & were delighted to find Armstrong Grove to still be in beautiful condition despite the fires of recent years. The Russian River, of course did not disappoint! We will need to come back soon to visit some of the key wineries that I was not interested in when I was younger. And, we did not make it out to Jenner which is still calling to me, as is historic & restored Fort Ross. Cazadero music camp will need to be revisited when the kids are there & performing concerts. Our Innkeeper drove us personally to one of the town's most treasured restaurants where we dined on fine food that was presented so artistically that we could not help but take pictures of it before letting our taste buds join in the treat. Even though I am 79 & my husband is 97, we felt like young kids as we climbed to our rooms along sturdy & attractive walk ways that created a charm not found on simple walk in properties.
