Rendevoused with family and friends at this charming, intimate, cozy lodge over the holidays. The staff was genuinely attentive and offered a wine tasting at checkin! Our room was upscale modern, with interesting design features including a soak tub and a corner fireplace. Great view of outside garden and surroundings and very tranquil. We really enjoyed the ambience and the feel of the lodge itself. There is a pleasant bar area right off the main lobby to meet for a glass of wine and while there we noticed so many guests arriving with their dogs! The hotel is apparently very dog friendly and welcoming to pet owners. Being a country environment this is a great place to bring a dog as there are walking trails right outside the property. As others have mentioned, the Barking Frog restaurant is adjacent and we had a wonder holiday meal there. This is a place to come to - outside the city and enjoy all of the close by wineries or unwind in their onsite spa. This is a special place with a hint of magic!

This places offers a great venue for business meetings. The staff is friendly and the rooms our excellent for a good night sleep. Hotel has a bar with great local win selection. The near by restaurant Barking Frog offers outstanding dishes. The Hotel is a bit away from the city which allows for great walks to gain new energies.

Lots of attention to design of both the hotel and the gardens, and high-end furnishings and fixtures throughout. Clean, and pet-friendly! Adjacent to a paved walking/bicycle trail, river, Red Hook Brewery and across the street from St. Michelle Winery's beautiful site.
But what made this place really special over our 5-night stay was the attitude and service-orientation of all the staff whom we encountered. Starting with the bellman, who delighted in telling us about the sources of the huge recycled beams, the pool table slate tables and the marble in the bath vanity. We encountered similar friendliness and enthusiasm throughout our stay from front desk staff, valets, and housekeeping.
On our last day, smoke from a guest room triggered a fire alarm and the hotel was evacuated. But the Bellman retrieved our aged dog from our room when we couldn't get back in, and General Manager Matt Hagerman was out in front as we left to thank us and apologize for the commotion.

Althought a bit pricey, the room was wonderful, the spa day everything we had hoped for, the hotel staff very helpful, and the food amazing. Try out the prawn and scallops at the Barking Frog for the best seafood you have ever tasted. We will definitely be doing this again!
