Sonoma, United States · ★★★★★ · 9.4/10 Exceptional · guest rating
A farmhouse-style boutique inn in Sonoma's Russian River Valley, built around an 1873 farmhouse restaurant, with vineyards and wineries close by.
Farmhouse Inn in Forestville blends a contemporary cottage look with touches of luxury: wood accent tables, thick wool blankets, slate fireplace mantels and four-poster beds. Many rooms have fireplaces, and guests often mention spacious rooms, comfortable bathrooms, thoughtful extras and a friendly, attentive team. The mood is relaxed, warm and quietly polished, rather than formal. Guests also mention daily wine tastings and evenings around the fire pits, which are worth confirming with the hotel.
The original 1873 farmhouse houses the Michelin-starred Farmhouse Restaurant, which serves a coursed dinner of seasonal food. Days revolve around a central heated pool and hot tub framed by a stone wall and flowering plants, with spa services also listed. Wineries and vineyards of the Russian River Valley are close by.
