My fiance and I were looking for a romantic get away, and we were delighted with the Sonoma Orchid Inn. This bed and breakfast was in a charming old farmhouse, but it was very well renovated and maintained. The hosts - Brian & Dana - treat you like you're their favorite relative that they want to impress. Dana is an... More

We stumbled upon a hidden gem when searching for a B&B in the Sonoma area. While booking, Brian was extremely helpful in planning our visit, and when we arrived Brian and Dana proved to be so much more than inn-keepers. The food was delicious, the grounds were beautiful, and their recommendations for planning our days were perfect! We highly recommend... More

You have to know the difference between sonoma and Napa to love it here. Sonoma is quieter, more funky, more casual...and the Sonoma Orchid is great. Brian and Dana are great hosts. Dana makes the best Belgian waffles ever...they are so light they float. Brian drew a winery tour for us and we had a great time following his suggestions.... More

This was one of our best B & B experiences in a long time. The hosts, Brian and Dana really make this a valuable stay. Brian was available with dinner suggestions and they were spot on! It was like he knew us! Our question about canoeing on the Russian River was answered completely, giving us 3 choices and listing the... More

Innkeepers Brian and Dana give their all to help you have a great stay in the Russian River Valley. They are generous with their time and knowledgeable about the area's offerings. As all the other reviewers mention, the breakfast is terrific, as were the beds, the refrigerator full of beverages, 24 hour cookies, coffee and tea, and the creamy smooth... More

This is a perfect place if you like outdoorsy, rustic B&B's that are desolate and not very close to Napa. Unfortunately, we did not do our research regarding location or amenities on this one, and so this review doesn't mean to be critical, but we were disappointed. The location is in the outskirts of Sonoma County - not near the... More

Location is great for Russian River/Healdsburg wineries and the North Coast. Two hour drive from SFO. Korbel next door and hundreds of other wineries a short drive away. First time to the Russian River area and we couldn't have chosen a better spot for a home base. Brian and Dana were wonderful hosts--always ready to give tips to those interested,... More

A coworker/friend and I stayed at the Inn for a long weekend getaway at the end of a business trip. We arrived later than expected, but Brian and Dana were very accommodating, ensuring we had an available key and knew what to do once we arrived. The Inn was beautiful - well appointed and taken care of. The common areas... More
