Paula and I spent a fantastic surprised birthday weekend. We were made welcomed by the gracious and warm hospitality of Hillary and her staff. We greatly enjoyed our room as it provided exceptional privacy, our hot tub and the view to a wooded creek nearby. We were blessed with wonderful and different breakfast each morning with samplings of local provisions,... more

We had a wonderful time at Avalon, where we stayed for 10 days. The setting is beautiful, and the rooms are charming, with every detail attended to. But what makes Avalon so special is the family who runs it. Hilary is the best B&B innkeeper we've ever encountered -- and we've stayed at inns all over the country and in... more

Avalon is truly heaven. This was our first time and it was amazing. The property is gorgeous, Hilary, Gary and AJ are amazing people. The atmosphere was so peaceful and relaxing we didn't want to leave. Every little thing you could possibly have wanted or needed was there. We are already planning our next trip for as soon as possible!... more

The drive from the immediate entrance at Graton Road to the main house at Avalon set the magical tone for our stay here: a lush, forest-like setting, a rambling creek you can hear before you reach the bridge that takes you over it, and majestic redwoods flanking the driveway. Hilary, Gary & AJ went out of their way to make... more

Over the last 3 years we've stayed here 6 times because we can't find another place with the magic, comfort and care that you receive here at Avalon. From the breakfasts that I look forward to, and I don't ever eat breakfast except here, to always being referred to another wonderful winery that we hadn't tried before. Even sitting quietly... more

I've stayed here twice and loved it both times. This is truly a unique setting. You are in the wine country, turn off on a small road, across the bridge and to a charming Tudor house among the redwoods. It is really like a fairy tale. You are in your own little world surrounded by the sights and sounds of... more

Having been to Avalon more than once, finding the same personal care anywhere else will be diificult. The place is immaculate, food is fantastic, and if you have a chance to really talk to Hillary and Gary - - you'll feel as though you are just visiting long time friends. When i was there for my birthday - Hillary went... more

Hilary demonstrated tremendous warmth and a phenomenal ability to provide individual, special service. My girlfriend has a limited diet. Hilary made the most wondeful breakfasts to accommodate that diet. She simply went above and beyond anything we would have expected. The room was lovely and warm. The central fireplace was great. The surroundings, with gorgeous trees surrounding the house, was... more
