The location is beautiful. It's in the middle of vineyards with a view framed by the palm trees on the property. You can walk to a couple of vineyards and easily drive to dozens more. It's a relatively short, scenic drive to the center of Healdsburg and to some very nice restaurants before you get there. There are only eight... more

We had a wonderful experience at the Raford Inn. Upon arrival Dane told us we got a free one hour massage for booking a couple of nights in August. They helped us figure our which wineries to visit, made dinner reservations, and helped us find a bike path for our marathon trianing. They also hosted a cheese and wine reception... more

Imagine sitting on the verandah of a beautiful old Victoria, sipping wine and nibbling cheese, gazing out across fields of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as the sun casts an other-worldly golden glow on the vineyards that lie just beyond 100 year old palm trees. This is an absolutely dreamy location! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the... more

If you don't mind living in an old grand ranch house inn, waking up to vineyard views from your private porch...then this is the place. The innkeepers Dane & Rita make you feel at home from the moment you arrive, are always available, make incredible breakfasts, and encourage guests to sit and talk at breakfast & at the evening wine... more

We spent a delightful weekend at the Raford House! This was our third visit, but the first in almost 10 years. Dane & Rita's hospitality was wonderful, and we truly enjoyed the scrumptious breakfasts, as well as hanging out on the verandah sipping wine & nibbling cheese in the evenings. Our room (Sage) was delightful ... spacious, comfortable, and right... more

Excellent location to make day trips into Healdsburg and wineries. Wonderful hosts and interesting guests with whom we shared wine, cheese, breakfast and stories. Terrific bed. Great views. New commemorative rock with plaque out front -- go see it. Dined at the nearby Farmhouse (highly recommend this) and Cyrus in Healdsburg (more highly). Both a bit pricey but memorable. more

Raford Inn has a beautiful setting and is itself very charming. But what really makes it special is the terrific service provided by Dane and Rita and the rest of the staff- they truly care about their guests and it shows. We had a truly wonderful time here using the Raford as our home away from home as we explored... more

This inn is just wonderful. Service, views, ambiance could not be better. I have traveled quite a bit, but think this place is VERY special. Thanks to Dane, Rita and the whole staff. more

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here. Dan and Rita were warm and welcoming hosts and made us feel at home. The sweeping vineyard views from the deck are stunning. The room was clean and comfortable, although we wished we could open a window at night to let cool air in. The 5pm wine and cheese was fun... more
