The town of Guerneville is smack in the middle of Sonoma County Wine Country, abutting dense, green forests that wind along the Russian River. This is the place to let your imagination ebb and flow with your surroundings, and when you decide to book a room in this charming, picturesque town, you’ll discover that your mind will wander to thoughts of long walks, hikes, watersports, and of course, wine tasting. For those who enjoy the homey comforts of bed and breakfasts, good news–they dominate the lodging scene in Guerneville. Many are just steps away from downtown, where visitors enjoy an authentic wine country experience during their stay, in a place where the locals are so friendly and talkative, you might find yourself planning a return trip well before you’ve left. Here are a few of our favorite places to stay in Guerneville.

Santa Nella House

Surrounded by tall redwood trees in the heart of the Russian River Valley, Stella Nella House offers an oasis of solitude for those fleeing the big city. An old Victorian farmhouse, this elegant bed and breakfast features a fireplace in every room, fresh spring water from the property, and a wrap-around porch. Wine is poured each evening, moving on to Port as the night progresses.

Insider Tip

Owners Debbie and Mike also make a stellar frittata at breakfast. If they’re serving one during your visit, get a plate-full.
