5 out of 5Amazing time
May 02, 2013
This is our 3rd trip to Avalon and as usual all expectations were met and blown away. The food was amazing and the hospitality couldn't be better. Our friends have been coming here for 10 years and we've been with them the last 3. We brought along some new friends for this trip and they feel in love with Avalon as well. I can't wait to come back next year and will always feel comfortable bringing new friends as we've never been let down with anything at Avalon.

May 02, 2013
We first stayed at Avalon B&B on our honeymoon 12 years ago and we've been going back since (at least 10 times)...not only for romantic getaways but we've returned with friends/family multiple times. Hilary is really the perfect innkeeper. She anticipates (& remembers!) our needs and has made every stay at Avalon what we think is a once in a lifetime experience - but then she does it again when we return! Her breakfasts are incredible, the afternoon freshly baked cookies comforting, and the wine/cheese in the evening the perfect touch to the end of the day. The rooms are beautiful, the bedding luxurious, the sound of the creek outside the window soothing, and the location amongst Redwoods a true getaway from the real world. We're sure there are other wonderful B&B's in the Sonoma area, but we will never stay anywhere else - it is just that perfect at Avalon and we appreciate the TLC we receive from Hilary and her staff every time we are there.
5 out of 5An absolute gem-Wine Country's best kept secret!

My stay at Avalon was such a pleasure! Hilary was a wonderful hostess, the breakfasts were fantastic, her knowledge of the area and helpfulness were priceless! What a treat to stay in this beautiful, magical, tucked-away gem. I will most certainly stay again the next time I visit, which I hope will be soon. Charming place, gorgeous woods, adorable towns nearby, an overall wonderful experience. So glad I found them!
5 out of 5Amazing Experience, Beautiful B&B, Fantastic Hosts!
April 09, 2013
If you are going to spend time in Sonoma County and are considering a Bed & Breakfast then you have to stay at Avalon. You are surrounded by beautiful redwoods and a creek which provides soothing water noise. The rooms are immaculately kept and very well appointed. We stayed in the Enchanted Forest Room which has a private hot tub, a private entrance to the room (all of the rooms have a private entrance which is really nice for a B&B) and an amazing view of the woods. The service was excellent, Hillary and Gary are superb hosts and made sure we had everything we needed as well as provided great recommendations for places to eat and wineries to visit, they are extremely knowledgeable of the area, the wineries, restaurants, and spa’s in the area and made excellent recommendations. Hillary prepares and serves amazing 3 course breakfasts everyday and, in the four days we were there, we never saw the same dish twice – she is an incredible chef. There were excellent wines and cheeses served daily around 5 PM if you were not out and about enjoying all of what Sonoma is known for. Overall I have to rate my experience at Avalon a 5 only because I can’t give them a 10, they are awesome and if you stay there you will not be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5Relaxing Getaway
April 03, 2013
This is a very relaxing B&B. With only 3 rooms, you get personal service from Hillary and Gary. The grounds are heavily forested and make you feel like you're in the redwoods. Breakfast was excellant and there were cookies in the afternoon and wine and cheese in the evening. I would recommend this B&B for anyone staying in the Sebastopol aea.
5 out of 5Magical and Peaceful, Can't Wait to Return
March 29, 2013
I came to Avalon because I needed to de-stress and get away from everything. I could not have found a better place. The Arthurian theme and the peaceful forest setting were perfect. Hilary, the owner, was amazing, as were her son and husband. I felt right at home- from chatting with Hilary over my morning coffee while she made breakfast, to the mini piano concert that her son AJ put on. The breakfast was unique and fantastic. I felt like a queen in Guenevere's Tower- a beautiful room with lots of privacy and a claw-foot tub in the exquisite bathroom! Not to mention, the in-room massage by one of the local massage therapists, Michael, was relaxing and rejuvenating unlike any other I have had. I can hardly wait for my next stay at Avalon!
