Our family of seven occupied four different rooms here at the Sonoma Orchid Inn over Memorial Day Weekend. Our hosts were so accommodating with late arrivals (after midnight) and early departures (6:00am) and an overall feeling that was so very welcoming. The delicious breakfasts are served family style and are just a bit different every morning. Hey guys, how do... More

The hosts were very cordial and willing to give lots of advice. The amenities were very nice in this lovely B&B. We were in one of the lower rooms and it was very comfortable. The breakfasts were amazing. The location is good for traveling all around Sonoma County. Guerneville is a strange location given the hippies, drinks, etc. Just an... More

This place is wonderful. Brian and Dana are great hosts and very helpful. The breakfasts were to die for and there were always homemade cookies available. Such a nice touch. The only downside for me was our room was the closest to the road so we got some road noise. It wasn't much of an issue by the time we... More

but it just wasn't our favorite place. My husband & I were on a 10 day trip to California to celebrate our wedding anniversary and decided to spend one of our two weekends at this Inn. Don't get me wrong, Brian and Dana are really nice people and have put a lot of effort & thought into making their Inn... More

The Sonoma Orchid Inn was perfect for our 25th anniversary. The grounds are very rustic with much aesthetic appeal. The whole place, inside and out, speaks comfort. Brian and Dana are kind, helpful, friendly, exquisite hosts and know how to serve inviting breakfasts. Honoring the namesake, Dana is delightfully generous with his expertise on orchids. His free orchid consultation adds... More

After a night camping and getting ravaged by racoons in Yosemite, this was just perfect. Great place to chill out, either in the lounge (I played the piano when no one was around), or outside by the wonderful hot tub. Already lots of good comments about breakfast, cookies, etc. but coffee was great too and Brian and Dara hooked us... More

This place was great! We loved the amazing breakfasts every morning (decadent french toast soufflé for example) and all of the small details that Brian and Dana paid attention to- homemade cookies in the guest kitchen, newspaper and DVD’s for guests, towels nicely rolled up outside by the hot tub- were really appreciated. We also loved the abundance of antiques... More

This romantic hide away is situated right next to the Russian River, and all the highlights of Sonomas vineyards and restaurants are within easy reach. The lively River Road separates you from the river, but the traffic dies pretty much down during the night, and the bedroom of our Laurel suite is amazingly well protected from all noises the outer...

The location is right by a noisy road. Our cabin seemed a bit dingy with stained carpet and the towels smelled of mildew. Killed about 5 wasps and flies in our room but that is probably seasonal. The breakfast wasn't bad but it was pretty light and we left still feeling hungry. Inside of the farmhouse is quaint and it... More

The hosts are terrific, served the best breakfast I've had anywhere, and were extremely helpful in helping us plan our days. The rooms itself was only OK: Small, dark, and with traffic noise (although the traffic was not unbearable).
