Farmhouse Inn

This was our third visit to Farmhouse Inn and may have been the best. It was our first visit since the Inn sold to Foley and we were concerned some of the service that makes the Inn special may have gone away but we were relieved that was not the case. We stay in Barn Junior Suites which are very spacious and far away from the highway and highly recommended. They each have an outside area as well. Before our stay Letisha the concierge helped us in a number of areas includes rides to dinner and to wineries, she was always very responsive. When available, Farmhouse Inn offers transportation via Volvo SUV’s to dinner within 20 minutes or so for $25 each way, a bargain in an area where Ubers are expensive and at times difficult to get. Reserve those in advance as they can book up early. Breakfast and lunch were very good, breakfast in particular. While the menu does not change from day to day, there are a half dozen selections all of which were extremely good. We are dinner at the restaurant one night, the food was very good, the price point a bit high but this is California. Service across the board could not have been better, including check in, luggage handling and meals. Some have mentioned that Farmhouse will nickel and dime resort fees and other charges, this is true but the high standard of service makes it tolerable.

Great service, food and accommodations. We were in room 9, cottage and it was quiet, comfortable and romantic. We enjoyed s’mores by the fire pit at night. Wonderful attention to details. The marshmallows were made from scratch. Home made soaps, and votive candles in the soaking tub. Heated floors in bathroom and steam shower. We canceled our dinner Reservations one night to have more time enjoying the smores, casual dinner at the hotel, and the wine tasting from 4:30-5:30. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary. We can’t wait to return. A true 5 star experience.

My wife and I started coming to the Farmhouse Inn about a dozen years or so ago. We love it because it is small and private with charming rooms, beautiful common areas and a highly attentive staff that make us feel like family. This visit, like all of our prior ones over the years, was excellent. We came in on a Sunday for just one night when the hotel was only about 60% full. The concierge recognized us from our previous visits and welcomed us warmly. We were given a complimentary room upgrade. A bottle of wine and a sweet, hand-written welcome note were waiting for us in our room. We spent the afternoon lounging by the swimming pool and had an artisan pizza and drinks from the Farmstand poolside restaurant. The staff was very attentive and continually refreshed our ice-water and towels, and brought small dining treats to all of the poolside guests. We had a 6pm dinner in the fine dining restaurant. The dining room is in the main farmhouse is beautiful in an understated and casual way. The dinner was a Chef's choice set menu, which might not appeal to everyone, but was great for us. We also opted for the wine pairings. We have eaten many fine meals all over the world, but our dinner that night was probably the best we have ever had. From the champagne start and several small appetizers, we were then treated to eight small courses, many of them served by the Chef himself. The Sommelier delivered and explained a new wine with each course, until the final Sauterne with dessert. This restaurant deserves to have its Michelin Star returned! After a quiet and peaceful night in our room and an delightful steam shower the next morning, we opted for breakfast in the restaurant and were treated to a more casual, but just as excellent, dining experience. On our departure, we were again greeted warmly at reception and let them know that we hope to be back again soon! The cost of this hotel, like most great properties in Napa and Sonoma is not cheap, and continues to increase over time, but, for us at least, the experience continues to be worth the price.
