Sonoma Orchid Inn
-
The historic 1906 farmhouse in Sonoma County's Wine Country.
Situated on 2+ woodsy acres above the Russian River, Ridenhour Inn is a peaceful retreat close to all the great activity of the area. Visit Korbel Champagne Cellars just next door, hike Armstrong Redwoods, catch a sunset on the dramatic Pacific coast. Breath freely and fully. Sit without interruption inside or out, get toasty in front of the living room fireplace.
Our gourmet breakfasts are a hit with our guests.

Escape into the country where the redwoods rise, the days are sun drenched and the Pacific nights are brisk and cool on our two plus acres of hilltop meadow. Local vineyards yield premier Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, the nearby coast beckons, the river shimmers, and Korbel’s vineyards surround to the west and south. Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley is a vacation wonderland filled with wine, canoeing, hiking, music, redwoods and the Pacific coast.

Highly recommend this lovely B&B in the woods. Brian and Dana are great hosts and they cook a mean breakfast. Really enjoyed our stay here. Comfortable rooms, great cookies, and total relaxation. And you are only about 30 minutes from the coast if you care to visit.

They owners of Sonoma Orchid Inn were very helpful from providing directions to providing information about community activities to finding the perfect restaurant. I enjoyed the room and the breakfast and was pleased with the company of the guests and proprietors. It was a very lovely get a way.
4.8 out of 5June Stay
October 29, 2011
My wife and I are medical students in New Orleans and stayed at Sonoma Orchid Inn last June for our anniversary. We had a wonderful time. The accommodations were peaceful, and a great hopping off point to see the Russian River Valley. Our favorite parts: -great breakfast -innkeepers are great guides to local eateries and vineyards. They seemed genuinely interested in talking about the food and wine, and took the time to make sure my wife and I were going to places which would give us a great experience. If this is your first time in the area, I especially would recommend staying here.
4.8 out of 5Another Great Stay
June 09, 2011
great hosts. We returned to this B&B because we had such a great experience the last time we were in the area. On arrival, Brian greeted us and was very helpful with the luggage. He gave us an upgrade to our room which we really appreciated. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Dana also made us a dinner reservation to a great restaurant that we really enjoyed. The delicious breakfast included quiche, fresh fruit, muffins, sausage and coffee. There is lots to do in the area and would take days to explore all of the sights. The area has many wineries and beautiful areas for hiking and exploring. Brian recommended Corks for dinner and the food was terrific. We highly recommend this B&B and hope to return in the near future. Brian and Dana, thanks for another great stay in your B&B. Eileen and Mike Beard

December 25, 2010
My husband and I chose Sonoma Orchid Inn for our first bed and breakfast experience, and lets just say Brian and Dana set the bar high. We found Sonoma Orchid Inn on the internet, with no personal recommendation. We were impressed with the website and we were never disappointed for the duration of our stay. There is no false advertising going on here! Brian and Dana are very good hosts, as they are friendly and full of ideas on how to plan your day during your stay. We stayed in the spruce room and were very pleased. The room was clean and cozy. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were fantastic! Each morning we were more than satisfied with the breakfast served. We even left with a recipe which Brian and Dana were more than happy to pass on. We would highly recommend this bed and breakfast, and would be thrilled to have the opportunity to stay here again in the future.
