Grape Leaf Inn

Stayed the weekend ofJanuary 6th 2012. Hosts Richard and Kay could not have been more hospitable. The room(Syrah) was very romantic and cozy. We couldn't havehadamore wonderful time.

A wonderful retreat and perfect location for wandering around Healdsburg. The rooms and staff were delightful and we fully intend to return for a longer stay, hopefully this year. The B & B is gorgeous and beautifully appointed throughout. The breakfasts were some of the best we've ever had - amazing -- and we had a fabulous time tasting wine with Richard at the Inn. The town is much more fun than anything in Napa Valley so book a room here and enjoy! Horizon Air flies into Santa Rosa (short drive) from many cities on the west coast.

My boyfriend and I took a chance with our stay in Healdsburg since the Hotels were outrageous and not as tranquil. We had never stayed in a B&B before and had no idea what to expect. We were greeted before check-in by a couple that has stayed at this B&B several times and told us how wonderful it was. The grounds were amazingly manicured and beautiful. The victorian was grand and stately without being untouchable. It was warm and inviting and very peaceful. The inn keepers were friendly and kind and extremely helpful since we had never stayed within the town before. They had a great wine tasting in the evening and we enjoyed getting to know the other people staying for the weekend. The breakfast was above and beyond and always tastefully presented as well. We will most definitely be returning to the Grape Leaf Inn! We would stay here before making accommodations at a hotel any day.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The service was friendly, attentive and warm, the place was immaculately clean, and the food was excellent. Highly recommended.

My girlfriend and I stayed for a couple of nights to make a long weekend. The house is great and the service is wonderful. Two great bonuses were the breakfast and the Speakeasy. The breakfast was amazing both mornings and the Speakeasy bar in the basement is a really cool touch. Thanks for a great weekend.

We went there for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. The inn keepers are a nice couple who are at your beck and call. Just what you would picture a B&B to be like. Rooms were clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable.

Excellent place. Very helpful staff. Breakfast was outstanding. FYI, I'm generally a "hard grader".

This B & B was great! Our initial room was okay, small bathroom and not the cleanest or most up to date, however, the second room we stayed in was wonderful! The breakfasts cannot be beat!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Grape Leaf Inn. We were a bit concerned when we arrived and saw a "For Sale" sign in the yard, but the service and rooms did not reflect any lag in care or ownership. The inn is beautifully decorated and very convienent to town. You can walk in for dinner and drinks and enjoy a lovely walk back to the room. My only reservation about returning would be that our room and bath were VERY small, considering the price. My husband is 6'1 and had to bend over a bit in the shower. We were traveling from far away and for a week, so we had two large suitcases. There was really no place to unpack, so we lived out of an open suitcase. By the time we got everything in the room, walking space was limited. However, if you pack light or don't mind smaller spaces, this should not be a problem for you. The service was pleasant, breakfast was well prepared and presented, and the rooms were nicely furnished and clean.

Wonderful experience! Room an house spotless and decorated tastefully. Inn keepers/Owners Richard and Kae are great hosts. Incredible breakfast! This iis my second stay and will definitely stay again.

Lovely place to staff in Healdsburg. The breakfasts are out of this world yummy, the staff is so helpful, and the place is so quiet at night that it makes for a restful sleep. I also had a divine massage!

This is a true Victorian B&B, meaning decor is period decor, and the lighting is on the dim side in keeping with the style. The Inn is on a suburban street on a corner, surrounded by residential homes. We did not find the outdoor space very appealing as it was small and the furniture was wood and metal, musty and deteriorating. The service was warm yet inconsistent.

We stayed at the Grape Leaf Inn during a recent visit through Sonoma wine country. Our accommodations were lovely but tall people be advised!! The Zinfandel is an under-the-eaves room which meant a lot of ducking to move around the room. Breakfast was fabulous - especially the orange, pecan and coconut fruit compote served in a scooped-out orange - tasty and beautiful!

The Grape Leaf Inn is a very nice B&B. The rooms are very clean. A nice staff (who leave you alone) and full, gourmet, breakfasts. We spent little time there aswe were out and about but came back to a lovely place to rest our heads.

A warm, friendly place, located an easy walk from the plaza. Loved the exquisite breakfasts! All staff were very helpful, like being among family.

Beautiful bed and breakfast. friendly service, great breakfast. I will return.

Many wine country B&B's offer "gourmet breakfast", but this one was definitely better than most. Great location for walking around healdsburg, and very friendly staff.

Really nice cottage. Clean, spacious. Was a 7-minute drive down Healdsburg Avenue to the main house for breakfast. Breakfast was amazing! The wine tasting in the Speakeasy hideaway was a treat. Would recommend the cottage as a nice quiet get-away. We do see ourselves coming back to the Grape Leaf Inn.

The Grape leaf in was a great place to stay in Healdsburg. Easy walking distance from downtown with very clean well appointed rooms. We unfortunately were not able to stay for breakfast in the morning, but we heard from other guests that it was great. We would recommend this hotel in order to experience Healdsburg and its many restaurants, without having to deal with the expense of staying on the square.

We spent two days at this Inn. It's in a great location to explore wine country. The breakfast was fantastic with a mixture of food sure to delight any palate. The room was well-appointed and clean. We briefly spoke to the hostess and primarily all of our exchanges were with the staff. The grounds were attractive but it seemed to be an "off" year for the gardens. The Speakeasy wasn't available to us because we didn't stay on the weekend. New policy not clearly stated on blurb. However, a bottle of excellent zin was substituted, waiting for us to enjoy upon arrival.

We knew ahead of time that this was a top choice for Healdsburg. We got more, in the way of fantastic recommendations for winery tasting rooms and events, dinner reservations, shopping and a terrific wine club option. This was luxury defined!

Such a charming little place-very romantic and the staff was super friendly and accomodating! And breakfast was amazing! I was just there one night passing through Napa, but both my boyfriend and I would love to come back and stay a few days longer!

We stayed at the Grape Leaf Inn last October when we were on our mini honeymoon. We absolutely loved it there. Richard and Kae were wonderful and the food was fantastic. It is a great location and we plan to return every year. The wine tasting at night is a great added bonus. We even joined their wine club and have been enjoying a great selection of wines for the past year. Can't wait to go back!! -Beth and Ates Civitci

I'm not a huge fan of B&Bs but with hotels starting at $350/night I was in need of an alternative. The Grape Leaf has excellent staff, amazing breakfast and is walking distance to the downtown. They didn't have AC or fans in the room and it was very hot when we were there. Also, it can be a little noisy with other guests. The speakeasy is a fantastic experience. Overall, I recommend it.

Our bathroom was really dated, the sink had chips in the porcelain, and the jetted tub spewed out black stuff like it hadn't been used in a while. It was kind of gross. Otherwise, the room wasn't bad at all. The TV was tiny. The breakfast was really good. Loved the town.

The Mouse House was a peaceful, refreshing get away and the breakfast at the Grape Leaf Inn is beyond any imagination. Hosts Richard and Kae truly define hospitality and grace. We loved our stay, JC & Sally

The inn is very nice. We stayed in one of the vineyard cottages and it was more rustic than I expected, but we enjoyed the quiet. Amazing gourmet breakfasts are served!

We were greeted as soon as we arrived, taken to our room, given a tour of the home, and offered cookies, tea and coffee. Initially, the room seemed small, but we came to enjoy the coziness of it. The fireplace made it special, as we sipped our last glass of complimentary wine in the evening. We would definitely return for the hospitality and wonderful breakfasts!

Comfortable, peaceful, walking distance to town plaza, superb breakfasts, beautiful grounds, all around delightful.

We stayed in the cottages. It was very nice and private and you stay right in a vineyard. The bed was comfortable and the linens were nice. We felt it was a good value and would go back.

The Grape leaf in is worth every penny. The staff is very serviceful and gracious. They are very responsive to every request and need. The rooms are beautiful with everything top quality. The breakfasts are out of this world. I could go on and on singing their praises. Certainly the best B&B we have every stayed in. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay in the wine country.

Beautiful setting. Outstanding service. One of the best breakfasts I had ever had.

Grape Leaf Inn was perfect... It is in a quiet neighborhood with lovely rooms. Ours had a fireplace and window seat for two, and a large glitteringly clean bathroom with a steam shower and soaking tub. The Inn is in easy walking distance to all the sites in town. Kae made the best breakfast I think I've ever had! She even went out of her way for us by honoring our vegetarian and gluten challenged diets... even making gluten free cookies that were available on the coffee/tea sideboard. All the staff was friendly, helpful, efficient and professional. The Grape Leaf is beautiful inside and out. It rained the entire weekend we visited so we didn't have an opportunity to enjoy sitting in the garden. There were a number of small sitting areas that would have been a treat... the flowers and landscaping really complements the beautiful old architecture. Little comments here and there in the garden, house and written instructions showed a wicked good sense of humor that I'm assuming Richard has. He runs a wine club in the cellar that sounded like it could have been fun if we didn't already have plans to run up to Ukiah and check in with my mom. Lacey helped us find restaurants that would suit us. The first night we ate at Cafe Gratitude -- a more than delicious and healthy and friendly spot. We asked her to made reservations for the second night at Cyrus Restaurant. Another wow! They have a vegetarian-wine pared tasting menu. It was quite the meal -- just don't make my mistake! We both opted for the "whole hog" 8 course meal... next time I'll stop at 5 courses! What a lovely, relaxed and yummy weekend... I hope we get back someday soon!

I surprised my partner with a night's stay at this lovely B&B, complete with a massage to kick off the evening, a bottle of bubbly cooling in our room as we got back from that, and progressing on from there. The location is super; an easy walk into downtown for dinner. And the brunch! OMG!! Fabulous flavours and presentation... Kae knows what she's doing!! Will definitely plan on a return trip and I would recommend this one to anyone and everyone. VERY highly recommended (and I've been to a LOT of Bs&B over the years!). Enjoy and treat yourself...

The ambiance and room were over the top! Wonderful "Speak Easy" wine tasting bar, entered through the door "behind the bookcase" ... really! Breakfast was original and out of this world. We could not have been more pleased with our experience!

Located in Healdsburg, the GL Inn sits on a quiet street and provides easy access to wineries in Sonoma. Our room was comfortable, and the fireplace in the living room offered a nice setting for easy conversation with other guests.

This was a romantic weekend getaway made even better by the atmosphere and service at the Grape Leaf. The breakfasts were extraordinary and even eating with the other guests was fun...getting to know other B&B guests and discovering shared interests and experiences was a bonus. The Grape Leaf owners were true hosts, and outstanding wine makers. Would go back in a heartbeat.

The rooms and service are really great; the breakfast are one of the best you will ever have. If you have any food alergies they will adjust the menu for you. We have stayed at the Grape Leaf twice and each visit has been absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend staying at this inn. The inn is centrally located and only two - three blocks to downtown Healdsburg and it is safe to walk to town.

We had a wonderful stay at the Grape Leaf in Healdsburg. This B&B is in the perfect location (walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in town). The staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The breakfast is scrumptious – some of the best food we had on our trip! The property is amazing, and we will definitely be back.

Super B&B. Richard and Kae were great hosts. Loved it all and would go back in a heartbeat.

Wonderful property - great location - can walk to town, immaculate & charming. Breakfast is outstanding & over the top!!! Have stayed there 3 times & each time is better than the last!!

My boyfriend and I were looking for a place on a vineyard and romanance... The Mouse House Cottage was perfect!!! The best place I have stayed at ina long time!

Service is the key here. We were given several passes and good recommendations to local wineries. Our room was beautiful, and we enjoyed trying the steam shower. The hosts know how to make guests feel comfortable and at home!

First I have to put in the disclaimer that we didn't pay full price. I think it would be worth it regardless, but we frankly couldn't have afforded it at the current budget ;). But it was wonderful! it was our first weekend away from our darling baby (grandmother loved our trip away because she got extra snuggling). And it was just right! Healdsburg is adorable, the staff were wonderful, the room (chardonnay) was the nicest room in any B&B that we have ever stayed in! We could not have loved it more!

The Rosenbergs and staff make this outstanding inn even better, attentive yet in the background. The inn is gorgeous, tucked away in a quiet street, yet only a few blocks away from downtown Healdsburg. Would recommend highly. Dining downgrade only a misunderstanding on my request for early time for breakfast (we didn't really have their renowned continental breakfast, so I can't rate it), but in recompense I was given a gift certificate!

The building was exceptionally quiet despite the presence of a full house. Breakfast dining was incredible. The staff was present but not invasive: our every request completed with a smile. I look forward to a repeat performance!

The Grape Leaf Inn offers a friendly B&B experience with amazing food. Their speakeasy - a hidden room with daily wine tasting - is a fun way to taste some small, local wineries you won't find on the square. It is my favorite place in Healdsburg.

Everything but the room was outstanding for our one night stay. The room was beautiful and clean but small! The angle of the ceiling both in the room and bathroom made it difficult to maneuver and my wife and I banged our head more than once, particularly in bathroom. Service and breakfast were fantastic and our host Richard was spectacular with his wine tasting in his private cellar. The room issues made it tough but otherwise an enjoyable experience.

Richard and Kaye are fantastic hosts, and provide excellent recommendations on request. The house is warm and nicely appointed, and the rooms are quiet. The breakfasts are amazing, and not your usual fare. Will be back soon.

I can't say enough good things about my stay at the Grape Leaf Inn. Richard an Kay were PERFECT hosts, and the rest of the staff were just as sweet as can be. Breakfasts were incredible! They were not only good, but good for you; even the "not-so-health" conscious people that I traveled with loved it. Each night we totally looked forward to the gatering in the wine cellar before we headed to dinner was. I will definitely go back!

We have been staying at Richard and Kae's lovely B & B for years, and each stay is as good as the first one was. They sincerely care that your experience is exceptional. The great breakfasts and the wine tastings in the speakeasy are bonuses.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at the Grape Leaf Inn. The staff was great in helping us and making our stay comfortable. The location was great and the breakfasts can not be described with any words other than FABULOUS! They need to publish a cookbook!

Very nice people, good location, fun wine tasting in the beautiful cellar and superb breakfast.

Love the convenient location! Richard goes out of his way to make sure you have the information, reservations, etc. that you need during your stay. Enjoy the time in the Speakeasy each evening. And breakfast is to die for!

Everyone was really nice and helpful, the room was clean and nice, although a little on the small side. The building is old though, so it wasn't really very quiet (you could here the people in the room next door and the front door opening and closing). Still though, it was great. An easy walk into town... I would definitely stay here again.

We chose the Grape Leaf Inn, to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. Everything about the inn, the room we stayed in, and location, were perfect for this. The inn is located two blocks from downtown Healdsburg, which is filled with great restaurants, shops, and wine tasting rooms. You can peruse through menus from all the popular places to eat, and your hosts will happily call in reservations for you. We spent two nights in the Syrah room, aptly named for a popular locally produced wine style. The room had a very comfortable king bed, a Japanese soaking tub, and an incredible two-person steam shower. The room also featured skylight windows above the bed, which were easily opened to allow a fresh breeze to flow through the room. The food was fantastic! We had Creme Brulée French Toast, fresh berries, and homemade sausage one morning, and an equally as good, but different, breakfast the next. The inn also features a hidden speakeasy, in which nightly wine-tastings are hosted. A great place to meet other guests and learn about some of the local wineries. A perfect place for a romantic get-a-way, or to celebrate something special in your life.
