We booked our stay back in 2019 then COVID happened! Finally got here and wow it was worth the wait! The property is stunning, our room was beautiful, great private balcony with an outdoor fire which was great to sit by at night. We ate in the fine dining restaurant one night to tick off a bucket list item of eating at a Michelin starred restaurant, it didn't disappoint, the food was great.
We met some real fun folks at the evening wind tasting, we may have had too much wine Fabulous wine tour organised by Anna the concierge and driven around by the fabulous Russell, what a great guy! Only hiccup was second night restaurant booking, I thought we were booked into the Farmstand restaurant but it turns out it is closed on Mondays, luckily we didn't go hungry as Eric organised a pizza (we'd had too much wine to drive!), sending a bell hop out to pick it up and deliver. Overall an amazing stay we will not forget in a hurry. You will not regret staying here!

The Farmhouse Inn took care of every single detail to ensure we had the absolute best experience, both on property and out exploring and tasting. Every booking was perfectly timed and arranged. Our driver Russell was fun and knowledgeable and just absolute pleasure to spend our days with. Delicious breakfasts in the morning started every day off right, and the wine and s'mores in the evening capped off perfect day after perfect day. We loved every moment and appreciate all the staff for making this trip so special and relaxing. We can't wait to come back again and again.

Great weekend getaway. Winery tours and onsite wine tastings, nearby walk at Armstrong Redwoods and drive to Goat Rock beach for beautiful views, lots of great dining in the area. Attentive staff are ready to make suggestions, drive you to nearby towns and make sure you have all you need to enjoy a relaxing visit. Rooms are spacious and clean. Room 24 in back of property with balcony and fireplace was great!

If you have the chance, or if you don't MAKE it happen. Farmhouse Inn is a gem! A small Luxury 5* Boutique Hotel does not miss a beat. From rooms, to service. No detail has been forgotten. Off the beaten path outside of Santa Rosa. Just a 15 min drive from Santa Rosa Airport and 15 min to Healdsburg and other small towns. So many wineries close by, and Farm House Inn does their own local tastings each night, flanked by fire pits. Upon availability they also have cars to be borrowed. Don't miss the gourmet hot chocolate in the lobby! You will not be disappointed by a visit to Farm House Inn.

We went during the Thanksgiving day dinner 2021. We received 2 emails confirming our reservation. On both emails not one mention of the fixed dinner prices. No way in hell would I have paid $552 for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner. Never again. Service was very good but no way was that a Michelin Star meal. Suffice it to say that we won't be going back.

Farmhouse Inn is a gem-superb staff, outstanding food, and wonderful acomodations. The dining room is such a perfect return to the quiet atmosphere that allows dinner conversation without the screaming that so many other places seem to think is necessary to generate buzz or whatever they think they are producing. And, of course, the meal is to die for. Honored to be a guest!
