Avalon, a Luxury Bed & Breakfast

Very friendly hosts contributed to a wonderful weekend stay.

Our visit to Sebastopol had one regret; that we did not schedule all of our lodging at Avalon. It is clear to us that Hillary enjoys providing a warm welcome. She pays close attention to each guest and genuinely cares about your time at Avalon. She is most generous with her resources. The accomodations are outstanding and her breakfast delicious. It was our favorite part about visiting the Sonoma area.

This is my go to place when I am in the Sonoma Valley. Hilary and her crew (including husband and son) are friendly and accommodating. The food is exceptional and there was more than I could eat! My room was nicely warmed by a gas fireplace and I thoroughly enjoyed the steam shower - what a treat! My favorite place to destress is sitting on the bench in the redwoods by the stream; it doesn't get any better. I don't need to look any fuher - this is my place.

When visiting Sonoma there is just one place to stay and that is the Avalon. When you drive off the road onto the lane leading to the home, you are transported to a differetnt time and to a marvelous place tucked into the redwoods .Your hosts are attentive to your every need and their home becomes yours. The breakfasts are hard to find sufficient superlatives to describe. We have been staying at B&B's for many years and the breakfasts at Avalon are without peer. If you intend to stay at the Avalon, be prepared to ditch the I phone and Droid; while they work, they defeat the purpose for staying there. There is a downside to staying at the Avalon. As you drive away and watch the woods close behind you , there is no doubt where you are going, can't be a good as what you just left. Greg And Diane

Avalon bed and breakfast is a fantastic gem nestled in the heart of redwoods in Sonoma county. The owners, Hilary and Gary, are amazing hosts and are very helpful. Hilary goes out of her way to make recommendations for local spots. She even helped set up a private wine tasting with a local wine maker and it was incredible. Hilary is also an amazing cook and makes meals that are on par with a 5 star restaurant. I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast if you are looking for amazing service, a quiet and pretty location and incredible food. The rooms are also really clean and have wonderful amenities.

We had a great time at our stay at Avalon. Great Ambiance! We were brought there by some great friends of ours who have visited often. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the accomodations. Wish it could have been longer.....

Avalon B&B is tucked away in a beautiful redwood grove. The rooms are beautifully decorated and provide all the amenities one could want. The property has walking trails and quiet places to sit and contemplate nature. Hilary is a charming hostess and provides a gourmet breakfast. She also is a terrific source of information for all of the local wineries and eateries.

All was just right, prefect combination of hospitality and privacy, excellent food and wine, great advice on local dining, etc.

I decided to surprise my partner for his birthday by taking him to a bed & breakfast in Sonoma County a couple weeks ago. I found Avalon on the internet, and was impressed with the description and pictures. So, I had high expectations. This place exceeded my expectations! It was just an amazing experience and we both loved it so much. It is by far the best bed & breakfast I have ever stayed at. We stayed in the Wizard's Quarters room. It was magical and great. The bed was very comfortable, the set up including the bathroom was nice, and we enjoyed the fireplace and of course the steam room shower. There was also a nice hot tub that is shared amongst the guests. Since there are only three rooms for people to stay, you usually can get the hot tub to yourself. One of the rooms also has a private hot tub. The property is surrounded by beautiful redwood trees. There is a stream connected to the property and you can hear the peaceful sound of the moving water. There are also options for hiking close to the property and you feel like you are in the middle of nature even though you are very close to wineries, etc.. Some of the other highlights were how welcoming the owner Hilary was, the comfort of staying in the house, wine hour by a fire pit which included wine, cheese and sausage, and Hilary's yummy breakfast. Hilary also was very helpful in providing recommendations for restaurants and other information. I highly recommend Avalon and we look forward to staying there again!

My husband and I celebrated our Anniversary at Avalon Bed and Breakfast and stayed in the Enchanted room. We had our own private hot tub under the stars nestled in a beautiful wooded area. It was very romantic and relaxing. The staff are very nice and hospitable. We will definitely plan to return.

Gracious hostess, superb food, wonderful setting (walk back up the moss filled creek if you dare). Loved our own private hot tub and the main hot tub which is quite luxurious with lot's of nooks and crannies to sit in. The tea selection was phenomenal. The conversation exceptional (talking with a doctor about his PhD on sleep, etc. etc.) Nice selection of games (the neodymium magnets will prove irresistible), and on and one. It was indeed a magical place to stay.

We only had a night away. But this was so relaxing and wonderful. This B&B is a solid vacation from everyday stress. Quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. Everything was comfortable and luxurious.I would recommend it for anyone looking to escape the everyday hustle and bustle. Super nice people too. Thanks everyone

Great food, great ambiance at Avalon, a Luxury Bed & Breakfast. We were treated like queens and enjoyed our stay immensely. The 3-course breakfasts were out of this world!

I'm in love with Sonoma County so finding this beautiful home in the redwoods was brilliant. We called Hilary at Avalon while we were driving up to Sonoma County for an impromptu visit. She had a room available and gave us a last minute discount. We arrived and were treated like royalty! Tea, coffee, cookies and chocolate were available all day and night including a glass of wine in the evening. So much fun! We were traveling with our toddler and they brought boxes of toys and books down to our room for him to play with. I couldn't recommend a better place to stay in Sonoma Co.

Hilary pays incredible attention to the details of her B&B. The rooms are warmly decorated, comfortably furnished and well maintained. She is a great cook and understands well the concept of hospitality. The Avalon is on a wooded and secluded site making it the perfect place for a private getaway. I would only advise that GPS is required to get there and while the towns and vineyards of Sonoma are all very close to the B&B, getting to Napa (and safely back) is a bit trickier/longer through the mountains. In short, the Avalon is everything that my wife and I wanted in a B&B and will return the next time we're in wine country.

We stayed in the room with private hot tub for our anniversary. It was a wonderful place to be romantic. The innkeeper and her son were very welcoming. The breakfast was a delicious adventure. Get the wine road pass for a free bottle of wine! I wish we could have stayed longer. We hardly got to explore.the trails nearby.

The innkeepers provided a wealth of information on the area to assist with day planning. They also gave very good advice on places to eat. We enjoyed our meals and our day trips as a result. I would highly recommend Avalon as an exceptionally cordial, comfortable, conveniently located B&B in the California Wine Country.

Spent two nights here while celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Located this B&B on-line and our experience completely matched what their website advertised. The B&B owners and their family were delightful and accommodated our every need. Very comfortableand luxurious suite, and a relaxed homey feel in the general living area, felt like we were guests in the owner's home. Delicious,homemade breakfasts and cookies were prepared keeping special requests in mind. Hilary took care to secure both dinner and spa reservations at our request. We would definitely make a return trip when we vacation in the area again. Thanks for a wonderful time, Dorothy and Mike---Palatine, IL

We received a lovey greeting and tour, our hostess was such a lovely woman. We were given ideas about the area and shown to our rooms which were immaculate and adorable, loved the theme, wizard magic. We had two unbelievable meals which were filled with many courses, all delicious, all fresh. The forrest has some small trails which my husband and I both really enjoyed, and the hot tub was cleana nd hot and gave a great view of the stars and redwoods. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed out stay.

Avalon is such a wonderfully peaceful place to destress. We throughly enjoyed our too brief stay there. Hililary is truly amazing and so warm and caring. She was extremely helpful and added to our delightful stay. We cannot wait to return.

My wife and I stayed in the Enchanted Forest room during our honeymoon, and the experience was simply wonderful. We were amazed by the exquisite attention to detail; Hilary had thought of everything we could possibly need, and her knowledge of the surrounding area--restaurants, things to do, history--was profound. The room was lovely, very comfortable; the redwood grove really was enchanting; and the gourmet breakfasts were delicious. Avalon was hands-down the best B&B we've stayed at, and we certainly hope to return often.

Recently spent two nights at Avalon on our first stay in the wine country. Everything was as promised on the website. Lovely room with comfortable bed, great shower, and many small amenities. Hilary thinks of everything. Breakfasts were big and wonderful and easily carried us through the day. Her wine and cheeses in the evening were excellent choices and different each night. Hilary provided us with fabulous recommendations for nearby small wineries where the tasting experience was far more personal than at the bigger, more well-known estates - Marimar and Dutton-Goldfield were our favorites. Can't wait to return!

My husband and I had such a good time the we offered ourselves up for adoption!!!

Hillary, the owner is an amazing hostess. You could not ask for better care, help and overall hospitality. Your any need is a chalenge for her to meet. For Example: she can tell you where to walk or jog and has the paths mapped out by milage, who does that???

Stayed there for four nights after a two month US journey and really enjoyed it. Great room with steam shower and hot tub in the garden. Great place toe relax. We also enjoyed the hospitality of our hosts and the outstanding beakfast.

The setting is unbelievable. It is right in the redwoods. The hosts made the trip for us. They took care of everything and more. This was a wekend that was very special because we got engaged. Hilary and Gary made it even more memorable. The food was also outstanding.

We stayed the weekend in the Enchanted Forest and were quite happy. Our hosts were very welcoming. The breakfast was outstanding. Thanks so much. Mary

Very beautiful, peaceful, B&B tucked in the woods which was very relaxing. Owners were very friendly and made every effort to make you feel at home. Couldn't have been nicer.

Stayed in Enchanted Forest Room -- very, very nice with lots of amenities and very comfortable bed. Enjoyed the private hot tub for two outside of the room, looking at the redwoods and listening to owls at night. Innkeepers were very nice and friendly, and breakfast was excellent. Only thing that was unexpected was that there was a small road rather close to the house, so at times car noise interrupted the peace of the forest, but this was not so bad, and you cannot see the cars and just hear a little bit of it. I would never let this small thing stop a visit to this beautiful place, however. Try to get the roasted pears and eggs Benedict while there -- yummy! Cheers, Hilary and Gary!

We found Avalon via the internet and chose it based on the looks of the rooms and the setting of the B&B. When we arrived, it was beyond what we imagined. Set beneath beautiful redwoods, we immediately felt like we were in another time, land, story. We stayed in the Magicians Suite which was very private and had its own small patio overlooking the stream running through the property. We left our door open to soak in the earthy smells from the forest and opened our windows at night to sleep by the sound of the stream. Breakfast was good but what made it great was conversation with Hilary. She was funny, casual and helpful with things to do in the area. We had plenty of amenties in the room including a wonderful steam shower. The only reason the dining was not rated "outstanding" is b/c we are coffee drinkers and our first morning there, coffee was not available 24-hours as "advertised" in the kitchen. We had to wait until seating for breakfast. However, we will definitely stay again and recommend it to our friends.

Ooh, thanks! We really think this review sets the tone of our woodsy B&B and it's obvious you had an enjoyable experience here, which is our aim (of course!!). We do have coffee available all the time in the kitchen, on the coffee & tea bar. We have French presses, an Italian espresso maker and various instant options, plus every coffee addition you can imagine set out for guests 24/7. We are truly sorry we did not make it clear how to utilize that amenity, since you guys were jonesing at times! We will make an extra effort to assure our guests feel comfortable using the coffee & tea bar - or, heck - just ask and we'll fire up the drip coffee pot any time you need us to! Thank you so much for the feedback. We hope you will come back and see us again soon!

The avalon B&B is set amongst the california redwoods and offers a modest hike on the property and access to a walk along a creek. Our hosts invited us into their home daily for afternoon snacks and wine and offered assistance in suggesting activities or restuarants including the making of reservations. Each room, although part of the main house has private access and is tastefully decorated.

One of the most welcoming and relaxed inns we have ever stayed in. The grounds and rooms were beautiful, things were spotless and the hosts were warm and open, willing to accommodate every need and very knowledgable about the area. We will definitely return.

Our stay at Avalon was amazing. The room was perfectly decorated with great attention to detail. We had our own private hot tub which overlooked the creek. A long soak with a glass of incredible champagne was the perfect release to the stresses of "life". Our breakfasts were fabulous and the owners were very accommodating. It was a great stay and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Avalon to anyone in need of a quiet, comforting get-away.

Do you deam of a weekend away to a place in your dreams? Where the ambiance, scenery, food and service are beyond all expectations? Do you want to be the Kng and Queen in Foreverland? Then book your stay at the Avalon Luxury B & B and prepare to make your fantasies come true.

My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay-- the inn is comfy, the food superb, the Arthurian theme evocative and the wooded setting spectacular. The hosts and staff are engaging; we talked so long after breakfast one morning that it lasted until noon. Oh, yes-- and the sign outside: "Here be Faeries?" Too cool for words.

Loved the secluded nature of Avalon and we were there on a gloomy, rainy Saturday - maybe the best way to appreciate this property! Love W Co and Avalon, we will return.

Very nice and cozy place, somewhat far from the road so it'd feels private and not so far from the town so it would be convenient to go out for dinner.

We always started our mornings with unique, healthy, scrumptious breakfasts at Avalon. We ventured out for day trips; Mendocino via 128 and then down highway 1 along the coast and had dinner at River's End. We went to Calistoga and Napa for two days finding new wines and sauces to enjoy. We shopped at Koslowski's. A canoe trip on the Russian river was delightful and peaceful; a visit to the Charles Schultz (Peanuts) museum was fun, worth the time. Hilary helped us with dinner reservations and directions for a variety of food experiences and she never failed to select a great places reasonably priced. Most afternoons we came back to Avalon for outstanding cookies, wine, nuts and fruit. We used the spa by the creek often; an occasional nap. Hilary sent us to Osmosis for massage. Our room was always spotless, the towels just perfect, and our bed was turned downed with a healthy piece of chocolate. We went to sleep with our windows open, the self starting fire place on, and listened to the creek nearby. Take a Garmin or GPS for travelling on the back roads of this wine country. You get places fast, enjoy surprising things to do along the way with confidence of not getting lost in the wine vineyard areas. We stayed nine days and wished it was nine weeks, or more. ewd

Paula and I spent a fantastic surprised birthday weekend. We were made welcomed by the gracious and warm hospitality of Hillary and her staff. We greatly enjoyed our room as it provided exceptional privacy, our hot tub and the view to a wooded creek nearby. We were blessed with wonderful and different breakfast each morning with samplings of local provisions, good company, and a "locals" insight to excellent wineries in the area. Hillary is a gem who has the ability to be there or not be there when you need privacy or input. We felt a wonderful magic and peace at this incredible treasure hide-away. We plan on coming back year after year.

Avalon is truly heaven. We felt right at home. Every little touch you could imagine was there. Hilary, Gary and AJ were amazing people. The food was fantastic and the room even better. We are already planning our trip back for as soon as possible.
