I am looking for a hotel, inn, or rental for a few days including Thanksgiving in or around Wine Country, California. I love the Mill Valley Inn in Mill Valley but it is a little pricey as we need 3 rooms. We are looking to spend some time hiking, some time at the ocean, some time shopping, and of course visiting the wineries. This is a family reunion of sorts with our kids ages 24-28 who are coming in from Chicago - we live in southern CA. Any suggestions of towns or accomodations?
Thanks!

I spent a wonderful Thanksgiving with my adult kids at Sea RAnch a few years ago. There are houses for rent, so you could all be together. It's a bit of a drive up to Mendocino for shopping if you want that, but SEa Ranch has so much to offer in the way of hiking and cycling we didn't need to leave.

How about the Russian River area? There are some beautiful inns.

Check out www.foursisters.com. We've stayed at their Blackbird Inn in Napa and the Inn at Sonoma the week before
Thanksgiving two different years. They are comfortable, even elegant, with full hot breakfast in the morning, wine and snacks in the afternoon and under $200/night.

I think Healdsburg is a lovely town to stay in. Check out www.SonomaCountyVacations.com and see if they might have something for you all.
