Farmhouse Inn
Rustic-luxe country chic. Yellow farmhouse buildings, stone fireplaces, heated marble floors, and featherbeds with European linens. Feels like a wealthy friend's very well-appointed farm — warm and personal rather than slick and corporate.
Book restaurant dinner reservations several weeks in advance — the dining room is small and fills up fast
Why It Matters
Michelin-recognized restaurant, multiple Condé Nast Traveler Gold List wins, Travel + Leisure T+L 500 and World's Best Awards recognition. One of the few Sonoma properties where the owners are genuine multi-generational local farmers with deep winery connections, not simply hospitality investors. The restaurant has been a dining destination in its own right for years.
A 25-room boutique inn in Forestville's Russian River Valley, run by siblings Joe and Catherine Bartolomei — a fifth-generation Sonoma farming family. The property sits in a quieter corner of wine country, further off the tourist circuit than Healdsburg or Napa, and that remoteness is a large part of the appeal. The on-site restaurant holds Michelin recognition, the Wellness Barn spa weaves in locally sourced herbs and CBD products, and the concierge team has genuine, personal relationships with 25 regional winery partners who give guests genuinely VIP access.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Barn Junior Suite
The inn's most popular room category, and for good reason. These open floor-plan suites sit at the rear of the property surrounded by native trees, with floor-to-ceiling windows opening to a private furnished patio. The double-sided fireplace works from both inside and out on the deck. Bathrooms are spa-level: two-person sunken tub, steam shower, heated marble floors.
KingBarn One Bedroom Suite
The most expansive accommodation on property at 850 sq ft. Has a separate private sitting room with a sliding wood partition door, plus a luxurious bathroom with steam shower, two-person soaking tub, dual vanity, and heated marble floors. Organic textures and materials throughout. Double-sided fireplace means you can have a fire going whether you're inside or out on the deck.
KingCottage
Quaint and cozy 350 sq ft cottage rooms with updated country-chic interiors. Romantic gas fireplace, steam shower, heated marble floors, and a soaking tub. Private entrance. Front-of-property location is close to the restaurant and reception but can pick up some road noise.
KingCottage Petite Suite
Newly remodeled cottage-style suite steps from the restaurant. A barn door separates an alcove with a full-size alcove bed from the main living area. Country-chic interiors, gas fireplace, steam shower, heated marble floors, and a relaxing soaking tub. Located along the picturesque path at the front of the property.
KingFarmhouse Room
The most affordable and smallest rooms on property at just 200 sq ft, located upstairs in the original 1873 Farmhouse building above the restaurant. B&B-style feel with ornate wood molding and historic character. Don't be put off by the size — bathrooms are unusually spacious relative to the room, with a soaker tub and walk-in steam shower. Good option for guests who want to be in the center of the action.
