Kennett in one of their Fern Grove Cottages in
Guerneville. Nestled among the redwoods,

fire places. Choose from one and two bedroom units
- several with living rooms and spa tubs. Margaret
is extremely helpful and goes out of her way to make
our guests feel welcome.
Stay as the guest of Bill and Joanne at
the Calistoga Euro Spa & Inn. This
clean-and-comfortable facility is sited at the end of
a quite residential street on the southern edge of town – just

nice patio area with a small pool that backs onto vineyards. There

 Charming
B&Bs
Stay as the guest of John and Keren at The
Haydon Street Inn in Healdsburg: This
Queen Anne Victorian B&B is set on tree-shaded
grounds in a quiet residential neighborhood yet is
an easy walk to the historic plaza. John was
a professional chef in his previous career and has
cooked for several US presidents – so expect
a nice breakfast.
Stay
as the guest of the Garnett
Creek Inn in Calistoga. This
B&B occupies one of the best locations in
Calistoga: on a tree-lined corner at the quieter end
of Calistoga’s main street. The most distinctive
feature of the property is the large, southern-style
porch that overlooks the well-kept garden. Guests’ rooms
are airy and most have fireplaces.
