B&B in Sonoma Wine Country
My husband and I are planning a trip (2 or 3 nights) to visit wineries in the Sonoma Valley area. We are trying to find a great B&B to stay at in Sonoma, Glen Ellen, Kenwood or somewhere in the general area (we are flexible). Key features would be a great breakfast, a great tub, comfortable bed and linens, and friendly, warm staff. Any favorites? Thank you!

The Kenwood Inn & Spa sounds wonderful. Check out their webiste, www.kenwoodinn.com I haven't stayed here YET but recently signed up to win a stay here!! (Fingers are crossed)
Has anyone been here? I love The Sonoma Mission Inn. They have a nice restaurant there, Sante where we had a delicious breakfast and the tubs were great in the rooms we had and the staff was very helpful and accomodating. (You even get a complimentary bottled water from the valet attendant when you depart.)
They recently remodeled, so I'm sure it's even better now. Have also heard good things about McArthur Place B&B. Have a great time! ***kim***

We stayed at the Gaige House in Glen Ellen a few years ago and loved it. The breakfasts then were to die for, and since then they've brought in a chef specifically for their breakfasts -- I saw it written up somewhere recently. It was very comfortable, but I can't recall specifically whether the rooms have tubs. I'd definitely stay there again.

The Gaige House Inn in Glen Ellen is to die for! My husband and I went there for our one year wedding anniversary and it was a piece of heaven--we had the Gaige Suite--only one word can describe it--WOW. Sue made us feel so welcome. I had a private massage on my balcony overlooking the pool. Breakfasts are phemonenal. I would go back there in a heartbeat.

Go to TripAdvisor.com and do some research. I was really sad that we didn't book McArthur place, until I recently read some really bad reviews. These didn't sound like whiners, either, they were very specific. I saw Gaige House, and while it looked lovely, found the town to lack amenities. If you stay in Sonoma, at least you can walk to lots of shops and restaurants. I love Healdsburg, especially the Grape Leaf Inn. The tub would hold a family.The staff is GREAT- the daily wine tasting is to die for and the breakfast was the best of any place we'd had in the state.
