Honor Mansion

We had a relaxing and absolutely delightful stay at the Ruse! with zero complaints! We were greeted warmly by Christine, who chose the perfect room for us: A Greenside Suite, #2. It's spacious, with a perfectly firm (but not too firm) bed, crisp white linens, a deep tub and roomy shower, hardwood floors, and an outdoor patio facing the putting green. A spotless room with ample towels and high functioning A/C are two top priorities, and this room fit the bill. There's also a gorgeous pool (warm enough for a relaxing dip) and the most beautiful, contemporary, expansive breakfast/dining room I've seen at a hotel this size. The young chef Aidan puts together a lovely egg based meal--different every day--and serves it with a smile and a chill vibe. We loved chatting with him about culinary school and his dreams. He's one of the many people who make The Ruse feel like a home away from home. The housekeeping staff is also warm and friendly and does their jobs so well...it's impossible to feel anything but gratitude for such a beautiful spot. The whole staff from Christine to Derek to Aidan and all of their colleagues are a delight. And that the hotel is located just 3-5 minutes drive from the center of downtown Healdsburg is an added plus! We'll stay again, for sure, and couldn't be happier to have discovered this special spot!

Absolutely loved The Ruse in Healdsburg. This small inn was not only comfortable but offered such fun activities in their "backyard." My husband and I enjoy wine (the reason for the trip) and golf so had so much fun on the 18 hole putting course. The breakfast everyday was unique and delicious and fun to look forward to. We are already thinking about our next trip back! Can't wait to stay again.

Will absolutely be back! We loved every part of our stay - cozy beds and pillows, friendly and accommodating staff, incredible food and great location. Derek and his team were so welcoming. It has a family-owned feel that we really appreciated. Was also very serene and quiet.
