We go to Sonoma every year and this is the first time we have been able to stay at the Glen Ellen Inn (it's always been occupied). So, we were thrilled this year to be able to stay there after participating in the Big Sur 1/2 Marathon and 10-mile walk on Sunday. The large, jetted bath tub and the steamer... more

Beautiful setting, quiet romantic getaway. Hidden behind an exquisite restaurant. Why pay more to stay in Sonoma when this charm has it all? Quick route to Bodega Bay - worth the trip! more

A friend and I planned an impromptu trip to Sonoma for wine tasting and I had almost given up hope of finding a decent place to stay. Mantanzas Creek Winery recommended the Glen Ellen Inn and they happened to have a cottage available for the night. It was absolutely perfect. Spacious, perfectly decorated, and the jacuzzi tub and fireplace were... more

We were lucky enough to stay in the Secret Cottages for a night on our honeymoon and unlucky enough not to have been able to extend our stay. A lovely little romantic hideaway in a quiet village in the Sonoma valley - exactly what we were looking for on honeymoon after a few nights in SF. We had an absolutely... more

We just spent 3 nights (Friday-Sunday) at the cottages behind the Glen Ellen Inn, and would recommend the cottage for comfort and privacy. There is a steam shower and large indoor jacuzzi for soaking. The bed is plush and comfortable. While the stream that is overlooked by the property is dry, it is a pathway for the mother deer and... more

I was so very thankful to find this wonderful Inn so close to San Francisco (a drive of between an hour or 90 minutes, depending on your speed & map reading expertise). Glen Ellen is such a pleasant foresty alternative to the horn honking, hobo dodging craziness of the city. Any visit to San Francisco from abroad should include at... more

Secret Cottages are a group of small, hidden individual suites behind the Glen Ellen Inn Restaurant.. They are truly a secret because they are unseen from the street and they are a charming off-the-beaten-path place to stay when touring the wine country. I am reluctant to share my review with the world -- we may have trouble getting a reservation... more

We stayed at the Glen Ellen Inn as part of our honeymoon and would recommend it. The room, in one of the secret cottages, was gorgeous. Lovely big bath and shower and the breakfast though simple - some fresh muffins, cookies and fruit - was delicious and clearly fresh. The inn is in a great location close to Sonoma and... more

My husband and I stayed two nights in Cottage 3 and loved it! The Secret Cottages really are secret....you can't see them from the street and nobody in Napa Valley had heard of them. But once you walk into the little courtyard behind Glen Ellen Inn Oyster and Martini Bar, you'll be hooked. The fenced setting is charming. Cottage 3... more
