Fodor's Expert Review Boonville Hotel
14050 Hwy. 128, Boonville, California, 95415, USA
From the street this looks like a standard small-town hotel with seven freestanding cottages and a two-room, two-story building out back in the garden, but once you cross the threshold you begin to sense the laid-back sophistication that makes the entire Anderson Valley so appealing. Rooms are decorated with linens and weathered tiles; some are painted in soft shades of tangerine or lime, others with subdued earth tones brightened with sky blue. The largest rooms can accommodate three; the smallest are snug. Public spaces include a large terrace and a sitting room with books, games, and a fireplace.
