Old Crocker Inn

We highly recommend the Old Crocker Inn in Cloverdale. My and wife and I spent 5 nights there and we found it to be quiet, relaxing and scenic. The breakfasts were amazing and we looked forward to each morning to see what was in store for us. We were never dissapointed! Marcia and her staff were the best of hosts and made us feel very comfortable.

What a find. The Old Crocker Inn is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the surrounding area. After each day of wine tasting and dinner we were so surprised to find a home made treat in the dinning room. And was it ever good! We all slept like logs and loved the morning breakfast at our leisure. We will be back.

The Old Crocker Inn is a beautiful place perched in the hills above the Alexander Valley? The main lodge is stunning, and the cabins are charming. The grounds are beautifully landscaped in an informal way. The breakfast served was delicious and elegant.

Great setting. Very quiet. A feeling of history. We felt very welcomed.

Our stay was a little retreat from our busy lives of the city. We wish we could have stated a couple more days! All the people were so lovely and the breakfast was so delicious. We saw deer grazing in the evening and in the morning the birds sang. Lovely! Thank you

We stayed in tthe Canton Cottage for four days. I wish we could have stayed longer. We had a wonderful time and felt so relaxed while we were there. We took our yellow lab and he had a great time too. The grounds are beautiful and it is so peaceful and quiet ... close to but far enough from dowtown Cloverdale where you can find restaurants for lunch/dinner. We already have our return trip planned!

We celebrated our daughter's engagement with her fiance, future inlaws, and us for the weekend. Crocker Inn was a perfect setting - great rooms, wonderful service, and a beautiful setting.

Went there for a babymoon and loved it. Great value at that price. The grounds are super nice. The rooms are great. And the food is excellent.

The Old Crocker Inn was an excellent find. We stayed 2 nights there while visiting our daughter in Cloverdale. It is located up in the hills and offers a secluded feeling whil being only a few miles away from the main highway. It was outstanding. The rooms were comfortable and the decor was very relaxing. The large dining room with a wonderful view of the surrounding area is magnificent. The breakfasts were excellent. First morning was poached eggs over polenta and the second was Belgium waffles. The host were very friendly and accommodating. I would heartily recommend the Old Crocker Inn to anyone wanting a out of the way country stay.

Great secluded Inn. Short drive from Geyserville. wonderful staff and amazing breakfast. Would definitely stay again. Great cottage, especially when you have a 2 month old staying with you.

this was our 3rd time at old crocker and we'll certainly be back. nothing has been overlooked: the rooms are perfectly appointed, multi-course breakfast is always amazing. the only possible downside is that the b+b is a little out of the way in the winter months when the bridge is closed and you're looking to head south of town. but the added bit of driving isn't worth picking a different place to stay -- this is it!

From the moment we arrived, everything about the Old Crocker Inn was perfect. The views are gorgeous, the food amazing, and the service warm and helpful. I can't say enough about this place! The room (we stayed in the crocker room) was impecable, warm and cozy, beautifully furnished - just a delight. There were snacks (both healthy and decadent) available at all times. The breakfast was one of the best meals either of us had ever had. A wide selection of videos were left out for anyone to watch. And to top it off, we were given coupons for free tastings at vineyards throughout the area. The Old Crocker Inn is worth every cent and then some! I can guarantee that the next time we come to wine country, we'll be staying there again.

My partner and I stayed at Old Crocker Inn this past weekend, and I honestly cried in the parking lot when it was time to leave! Quaint, beautiful, and quiet, this B&B is a place where you can really, truly relax. (You really have no choice to). Marcia and Tony are wonderful hosts. They not only accommodated our dietary requests but exceeded our expectations with two delicious and thoughtful breakfasts. Coffee and wine was also abound, and much appreciated. We also loved the relaxed atmosphere of being able to come in and out of the lodge as you pleased. The bed was fluffy and cozy. We also were thankful for the wifi, DVD library, and cable TV! When outside, we loved sitting on the deck and watching for deer! On top of all of this, it was very reasonably priced. We'll definitely be back to Old Crocker Inn. Clay - San Francisco

A lovely surprise. The hosts are warm and welcoming, and the rooms are beautifully decorated.

We had a really quiet and relaxing weekend. The canton cottage was private, beautiful, and very comfortable. We woke up to deer outside our cottage. My husband is still talking about how delicious the breakfast was!

absolutely gorgeous setting on a hilltop, but beware the long drive.

Quiet,spacious (both room, main house & outside play area),historic, plenty of items of interest both at the B&B and local area. Bicyclist's dream B&B and ride area.

The Old Crocker Inn was a great B&B. My husband and I stayed here while traveling to Sonoma Wine Country for 3 days. It was nice to stay in a secluded place. The rooms had "country charm" which I really liked. The beds were super comfortable!! I was a huge fan of the claw foot tubs... The food was unbelievable!!! I would recommend the Old Crocker Inn to anyone looking for a stay to place. Thanks for a wonderful trip and stay. -Kristin

Overall, a top quality B&B with outstanding breakfast but we experienced some minor inconveniences: the door of the room was opened (to the outside) when we came in at 10pm, Wi-Fi did not work in the rooms and was very slow in the lobby. Location is not necessarily ideal for those who are just looking for a one-night stop as it is a few miles from town and difficult to reach and find at night.

Beautiful secluded location while still quite close to Healdsburg. The pool area looked fantastic, but it was too cool and rainy for us to use. Hope to go back when we can.

We spent a couple of nights in the Crocker Room at the Inn. A large, well appointed room with a private terrace and a view into the valley. Quiet and relaxing. Excellent breakfast. Tony was very helpful with advice. Highly recommended Anna and Baard Eilertsen

The Inn has old world charm, and the inn keepers were very helpful--especially in providing for my infant. The meals were wonderful and served a lovely, bright diningroom. We were pleasnatly surprised by all it offered.

Fantastic stay at the Old Crocker Inn. We loved that it was out of town, spotless, relaxing, with outstanding service and breakfast. We also loved the evening treats and taking pictures of deer from our front door.

We were referred to Old Crocker Inn by locals. We spent 8 days in the wine country and this location was perfect. We loved that it was quiet and relaxing and casual. We slept late for the first ime in months. Our room was spotless and had all the extras . The views were breathtaking and there were wild turkeys,quail,rabbits and wild birds on the grounds. Marcia and Tony were helpful and pleasant. The breakfasts were delicious and were better than other B &B 's we stayed at. The location was at the top of a big hill and a lot of twisties and turns but worth it. What a unique place! We will definitely stay here again next trip. If you want a unique B&B -this is it! I was sad to leave. (by the way- I am very picky about where I stay)

We always enjoy our stay at the Old Crocker Inn and have stayed there many times. The rooms and the beds are cozy and very comfortable. Breakfast is very tasty. Everything met our expectations on this trip as well.

This inn is conveniently located, but in a very restful and relaxing location close to area attractions and dining. The hospitality and breakfasts were exceptional! We would definitely stay here again.

The Old Crocker Inn was exactly what we needed! A private, comfortable, relaxing place to get away from our hectic, everyday life. It is rustic but clean and comfy, with nice touches to make it feel special. The breakfasts are wonderful and the atmosphere in the lodge dining room makes you want to take your time and enjoy your meal. It was nice to have a pool to lounge by and swim in. This was also a wonderful setting and we had the pool to ourselves. We will return!

Service was outstanding! Food was outstanding! Remote, cozy and quiet location allowed for true relaxation! Would stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone headed to the Cloverdale area!

The dining area and the breakfasts were great but I thought the furniture and the decor in our room was sad and needed updating . It was however very clean and there was everything you needed in the bathroom

Loved the Old Crocker Inn. The room and the food were great!. We were a little disappointed Innkeepers,while very friendly,were not readily available to tell us a little bit more about the area and answer more questions.

Tony and Marcia were so friendly, and helpful. My room was so restful, the bed was a dream sleep. Breakfast was a treasure of tastes and variety, served beautifully. Reccommended wineries, restaurants and sites were well worth the experience, and everyone knew the Inn and innkeepers, with a smile. So refreshing after a long drive, the inn was just the experience I was dreaming of. Thank you Tony and Marica for making my stay the best.

We've been going to Alexander Valley for years, and never got around to staying at the Old Crocker Inn until Sept. 2011. What took us so long??!! We were so impressed with the beautiful, serene setting and the gorgeously appointed historic rooms. We spent many hours enjoying the wrap around deck & swimming pool, and were even allowed to grill our own tri-tip dinner one night while taking in the beautiful sunset. The breakfasts were superb and the service both welcoming and attentive. We'll be back again and again!

The Old Crocker Inn was a great place to stay. Many more ammenities than most B & B's. Rustic yet very comfortable. Not much to do in Cloverdale but make the short drive to Healdsburg and enjoy that town. Plenty of wineries around this area. Much less hectic than the Napa Valley area.

It's always hard to tell about a place from a picture on a website, and I'll have to admit that Old Crocker Inn is so remote that it gave me a moment of pause when I drove onto the property, but it's truly a great place to stay. Quiet, relaxing, tranquil....and a little bit rustic. A nice blend and a great experience. The breakfast was wonderful - if you could make yourself get out of an incredibly comfortable bed with the best sheets that I've ever slept on! Very helpful staff that led us to a great dining experience in Geyserville. I'd definitely recommend staying at the old Crocker Inn.

We stayed at the Old Crocker Inn only for 1 night because they were fully booked. I wished we had more time there. The place is absolutely beautiful. Even the road to get there makes you feel you are going to stay in a very special place. Our room (Judah) was perfect, clean, tastefully decorated and spacious. Every detailed was taken care of. Service couldn't have been better. People working there try their best to make you feel at home. Breakfast is very good, everything home made. They even have cake for tea time served at the restaurant in case you get hungry! The views from the ranch are great as well. I strongly recommend this Inn! Only thing to point out is that you are a little far from villages and restaurants if that's what you want. It's a challenging drive coming back at night.

We finalized our last few days of vacation in California at the Crocker Inn and it was the best way to see the beauty and hospitality of the Sonoma area.I hope to return some day.

This is a special place for a getaway. I was first struck by the quiet and the country views. Then unexpectedly surprised by the decor of the main lobby and my room with its huge four poster bed. Though it is a B & B, there is a strong feeling of privacy as each room opens out onto the surrounding deck and into the central courtyard. The pool is located away from the building, in another quiet oasis. Tony and Marcia were wonderful hosts, present but unobtrusive and very knowledgeable about the area (wineries, etc). Their breakfasts were elegant! Obviously I would and will return.

The Inn is certainly out of the way, but that is one of its charms. It is very quiet, very serene and a lovely spot. The innkeepers are very helpful if you need any information about the local area. The rooms are nicely appointed with antiques and four-poster beds. The wrap-around deck affords some wonderful views of the valley below and the pool area is away from the main house and quite large. All-in-all, highly recommended.

We had no idea what we were in for, having only seen pictures online. The cottage was nice, the views terrific. Breakfast was wonderful and Janna was a perfect breakfast host. We would return if ever in the area again from North Carolina.

I knew from the website that my husband, an outdoor enthusiast was going to love this place. We stayed in the "Crocker" room with an outstanding view of the valley from the deck outside of our room. We saw plenty of wild life on the property as well as the surrounding area. The gourmet breakfast out on the decking was a wonderful experience. Thanks to the Inn Keepers!

Host and hostess at the Old Crocker Inn were genuinely welcoming. The property is rustic and the view breathtaking. Deer and wild turkey sitings daily!! I would stay here every time I visit Sonoma. Thanks John!

You may feel like you're driving way off the beaten path to get to the Old Crocker Inn. But it really isn't as remote as you might think. It's easy to get to, and easy to fall in love with once you're there. The tranquility and views are priceless, the rooms are perfect and the atmosphere is laid back. Can't wait to get back there soon!

Beautiful views, homey feel, very clean, quaint, loved it!

For a first-time B&B-er, I can't say that I can compare this experience to any other. But, I think I was sold at the unlimited teas, coffees, and evening confections. The staff-persons at OCI are lovely and hospitable and the rooms are well-furnished with towels and amenities. I loved the swimming pool and the inn's tucked-away location, too. I chose OCI because my friend raved about the breakfast, which I found delicious but not excessively amazing. Yet, from what I understand in terms of price and friendliness, the inn is a great deal and worth coming back to next season.

Cabin was comfortable, great linens, lovely amenities, great fireplace, even oriental rugs. Felt very much at home.

This is a beautiful and peaceful site. We found the history of the ranch so interesting! The property is well kept and our son thoroughly enjoyed the lovely pool. Breakfast was a special treat. We had to leave before the regular breakfast hours on our last morning, but the hostess made the BEST muffins for us to go with our coffee!

Comfortable, tasteful rooms with luxuriously soft sheets and bathroom amenities. Excellent breakfasts and hospitable service. Love all the greenery -- how remote it is too. I've been here three times and will be back yet again.

The rooms were nice, and the food was delicious. However, we felt the photos provided on the web were a little misleading. We thought we would see vineyards from the patio outside of our room. Instead, we saw a road. That's another thing. We thought we were out in the country away from most civilization. However, we were at the foothill surrounded by a neighborhood. In California, the cool weather requires open windows for ventilation. We had our windows open and could hear cars driving down the road all night.

The service was warm and friendly, the cabin was more than a cabin, a wonderfully appointed room, and the breakfast on the deck made us want to stay. We have already told several friends that this is a wonderful place to go for a quiet break.

Hosts were wonderful and the property was absolutely beautiful. Our room was furnished very nicely, right out of Better Homes and Gardens ! The bed was very comfortable and there were little touches like fresh flowers in our room that made our stay there extra nice. i hope to go back some day.

Visiting California to look at properties with the intent of an eventual move from Maine. Loved every minute.

This former hunting lodge is nestled above Cloverdale. It is quiet and private, with utterly gracious Innkeepers, Tony and Marcia. This was the second visit for us (3 nights) and enjoyed every minute...

We have have stayed at many B&Bs and this one is as close to perfect as possible. The setting is beautiful, wonderful hosts, and a lovely room. On our current trip to CA, everything went wrong except our stay at the Older Crocker Inn. I cannot say enough nice things about our hosts. They were friendly, kind and accommodating. They could not have been more helpful. Breakfast was delicious and served in a lovely room. The coffee was great and plentiful. There is tremendous attention to every detail at this B&B. The sheets were soft and the bed was very comfortable. Even the basket of soaps and lotions in the room was special. There was a vast collection of DVDs for us and delicious cake and snacks in the main room. Our only regret is that we could not stay longer but we definitely hope to return. You cannot go wrong staying at this B&B. Eileen and Mike Beard

My wife and I stayed here in mid-May, 2011, and found the inn elegant and quiet, with gorgeous views of the countryside. The breakfasts are amazing, and Marcia & Tony went out of their way to make our stay very special. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. We'll be back!!

My name is mary Boe Zink Rickards.My Brother-in-law,Bob Overdeck,was Manager for Jack and Patty Black..My horses ran free over all the achers and My older sister would drive up the main road and honk the horn.The horses would then come running over the hills and my friend Shirley Love and myself woul jump on our horses with Bailing rope for bridal or nothing at all...kick them and they would head for the barn. My sister would take the guest on trail rides and my brother-in-Law put on the rodeos.We would sometimes pack a lunch and ride up over the hills and have a weiner roast up on top.My best memories...Of course my horse was also a Palomino...and I carried a Palamio Lakes Flag in the Parade and Rodao,We will be up camping the last week in June at the Koa...We will stop by and say "HI".My sister will be with us and we will bring pics.We stay in touch with the Black children.Seeing this site sure brings back fond memories.

The inn is a lovely rambling building on a knoll looking out over the Alexander Valley. Our room had a gorgeous view (as advertised on the website), was larger than I expected, nicely appointed and had a super comfortable bed and bedding. The only thing I would have preferred to be different would be to have really good coffee (they served conventional over-diluted coffee, a reminder of the bad pre-Starbucks days in the US), and less fussy breakfast food: just fresh fruit, bread/muffins, and perhaps some cheese along with jam would have sufficed and would be healthier and in my view much nicer than the "B&B menu" of fritattas etc.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We appreciate getting feedback from guests and would like to respond to two of the comments. The coffee we serve at breakfast comes from a popular local company with a Fair Trade policy, its own roasting facility, and an extensive selection of coffees. Given the diversity in personal tastes, we use a moderately strong, full flavored variety that usually generates compliments. We regret that it was not pleasing and hope that future guests will let us know at the time. People who stay in B&Bs know that the menu is set but we do accommodate dietary restrictions and special needs. We use local produce and healthy recipes as much as possible. When guests check in, we ask if there are any foods they can’t or don’t eat so that we can prepare them a suitable meal. In addition,if we see that a guest isn’t eating in the morning, we offer something else. We don’t want anyone to leave hungry.

- Marcia and Tony Babb (innkeeper)

Terrific hospitality and a very enjoyable stay. A bit isolated up in the hills above Cloverdale but a lovely, restful spot.

Very nice accommodations, comfortable room, amenities, excellent breakfast, friendly and personable proprietors,

A very comfortable place to spend a few cold, sometimes wet, nights. Off the beaten path and tucked away in beautiful hills, we had a great time driving through and seeing the vineyards and homes along the Russian River. Marcia and Tony were the best hosts and cooks, and they've got a pretty decent DVD collection for post-wine-tasting viewing. All-in-all a great stay, we plan on returning during another slow season.

The relaxation started for me as soon as I pull off the 101 winding along the East side of the valley with great views of the vineyards around every corner. Upon arrival I was greeted by Tony who showed me to my charming room; it was a good size with a fire place and a big Jacuzzi tub. Breakfast was tasty and filling. I had a great stay and will recommend it to my friends and family.

One of the best B&Bs: the scenery, the food, hosts/innkeepers, amenities!

The B&B is located on the hills above the Alexander Valley in one of the premier cabernet wine valleys in the world. Several of our all time favorite wineries are within 15 minutes of the B&B. The history of the ranch and lodge site are fascinating revolving around the San Francisco railroad barons- Crocker, Stanford, Huntington and Hopkins. We stayed in the Huntington room which had a wonderfully comfortable 4 poster King bed, gas fireplace, private claw foot bath with shower and views of the hills across the valley. The wine reception with apple cake in the evening was excellent. The room included breakfast and was delightful with two Belgium waffles, fruit, fresh juice and fruit smoothies! Tony and Marcia had a special Veterans Day (Nov. 11) discount to honor vets which we were lucky enough to take advantage of for one night. We hope to return for a lengthier stay.

A family business, beautiful rooms, fair prices & delicious breakfast. Wonderful service, fun festivities in the newly renovated barn. Seems to be on top of the world in another world.

The location and setting were wonderful, you felt like you were in another time. The rooms were inviting and cozy but modern enough for a younger couple. The breakfast and evening snacks were delicious. I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

My husband and I needed a few days away and this turned out to be the perfect place. Wonderful if you like a rustic atmosphere and fantastic breakfasts!

This is a beautiful, peaceful, secluded inn with superb service. Tony and Marsha re gracious host. Rooms are beautiful and breakfasts are amazing.

When we selected the Old Crocker Inn, we were looking for a bed and breakfast that was highly rated and not in the heart of hectic tourism. We found it to be all we desired. The room was charming, the breakfasts fantastic and the staff warm and welcoming. Now we highly recommend it to others.

The Old Crocker Inn is a charming old ranch located in the beautiful hills above Cloverdale, CA. The buildings feature high ceilings and deep wrap-around porches. Beautiful rooms and great food.

The inn was not quite what we expected from what we saw online. It was busy, but our room was private and quiet. We enjoyed our stay and thought breakfast was tasty.

An inspirational resting place in the hills overlooking oak woodlands with vineyards laced between. The beds are large and comfy and the breakfasts a delight, the birds a pleasant chorus. A good resting spot.

We first found this place when it was just coming back into use as a inn. We've stayed there 5-6 times since. Not so much recently due to the economy. :( Our favorite is the Canton Cottage. No common walls and you're off by yourself a bit. The gas fireplace/heater works great, as does the A/C in the summer. You can take a dip in the pool if you're hanging around during the day. The have a hot tub but we've never used it. We've seen wild pigs and turkeys and deer on the property. The tree frogs will serenade you to sleep at night. My only complaint is, it's quite a drive to get to the inn. And you're on twisty, winding country roads. It's not so bad when the summer bridge is open but during the off-season it's quite a trek.

Old Crocker Inn has a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. You can truly get away from it all and recharge. We highly recommend this Inn.

My husband and I stayed for our 10 year anniversary in the 'Crocker room'. Pictures do not do it justice. So many personal touches that make you feel at home. The view from our porch was breathtaking. The grounds are quiet and relaxing. The food was exceptional. I highly recommend staying here. It was worth every penny. Thank you to Tony and Marcie for their hard work and hospitality.

Everything at Old Crocker Inn made this an incredibly relaxing stay, from the kind owners and comfy bed to the incredible breakfasts. We will be back!

The innkeepers, the Babbs, were very knowledgeable about the area. More importantly, they cared about our having a good experience and went out of their way to provide good advice and support.

Quiet and very relaxing, rooms were very nice. Breakfast were to die for, evening dessert and wine or coffee. Perfect way to end the day.

Old Crocker Inn is on a forested hill overlooking acres of Sonoma, co. vineyards. The owners were like kind parents, and the 3-course breakfast was first rate. Great location for wine tasting or just relaxing.

Winter rates make this lodge affordable. Lovely room but uncomfortable Victorian love seat -- on a rainy day "hard" to sit and read. Good fake fireplace made the room warm, unlike lobby & dining room, which were chilly. Mr. Innkeeper served us in truly dirty sweatshirt and sloppy jeans with grouchy demeanor -- Mrs. I. pleasant and accommodating.

remote, beautiful, quiet and relaxing...it was terrific! We loved sitting in the lodge or on the beautiful deck and just visiting. We also loved wine tasting excursions.

Unique rooms, beautiful setting (lots of wildlife), awesome breakfasts and evening treats, very cordial hosts, a perfect place to rest and relax. We will come again.

This secluded, romantic Inn was the perfect place to ring in the New Year. Amazing food, and a beautiful drive to all area wineries and excellent restaurants. This is a country lodge full of homeness w/ a touch of luxury.

The Old Crocker Inn is quiet, peaceful, and a place to lay back and forget your cares, as well as serving great food by delightful innkeepers.

This is a special place. The grounds are gorgeous, the inn keepers are wonderful and breakfast is amazing. The homey atmosphere and incredibly fresh air make this inn refreshing, relaxing and perfect. Easy access to wineries and hotsprings, but who wants to leave the Inn?

Tucked away in the hills north of Healdsburg is this rustic yet refined B&B. Within a pleasant drive of dozens of wineries, the romantic getaway provides stunning views, luxurious accommodations and spectacular breakfasts. Marcia and Tony, the delightful hosts, have created a haven for their guests that encourages repeated visits.

There are so many good things to say, it's hard to know where to start! Clean rooms, cozy decor, and the best breakfasts I've ever had. Marcie;s scones are unparalleled! Would definitely stay here again.

While the inn is a little out of the way, it is definitely worth the trip. A rustic inn in a very quite, peaceful setting with beautiful views. During our short stay here we saw both wild turkeys and quail strolling the grounds! Tony and Marcia were wonderful hosts.

Lovely lodge & bungalows. Pool, main lodge with tasty snacks & many board games to choose from. Our kids are older now so we brought them! We all loved it.

Marcia, Tony and Treavor are 'class acts'. They are hospitable, friendly and have an awesome location and inn. Our group (5 couples) have enjoyed their hospitality twice and plan to return, again, next year. The experience just could not be better!

Tony and Marcia are exceptional hosts. We feel like family everytime we return. The rooms are luxuriously themed and the views spectacular. This place is our California Dream.

the breakfasts were unbelievable and hearty enough to prepare you for a day of wine tasting. Very comfortable bed. The attention to detail really created a great experience!

My husband reserved a cabin for us at the inn for my birthday weekend. the staff were so friendly and attentive and no detail was spared for our comfort. In the lodge, there were always refreshments available, including cold wine, hot coffee, teas, and various pastries. We thoroughly njoyed our room, jacuzzi, the plush robes, and sleeping under a feather comforter. One night we lay in the hammock and watched the moon and stars overhead. Every morning we had a delicious breakfast on the balcony. I will definitely return!

My husband and I loved our stay in this quiet & lovely inn. Breakfast each morning was delicious. Marcia, the innkeeper, was so helpful & baked delicious treats for afternoon tea. A perfect stay to see the wine country.

Small, private, romantic getaway located 1.5 hrs N of SF; just off 101. Owner & staff welcoming and helpful. Hearty, creative and tasty breakfasts served at 8:30, 9 or 9:30 [you choose]. Guest fridge, water & snacks available 24/7. Clean, well-maintained facilities w/variety of lodging options in the main building [5 rooms] or 3 outbuildings permit either privacy or interaction w/other guests. Large, deep clean pool with comfortable furniture & umbrellas is inviting. Historic property on Sonoma Co. hillside above Alexander Valley facing west, about halfway between Cloverdale and Geyserville. Towns have enough dinner options to last 4 – 5 nights, with menus available to review at the Inn. More options available in Healdsburg, some 15 miles south. Plenty of wineries to visit nearby during the daytime, including Cellar8 [formerly the historic Italian Swiss Colony] right off the Asti Rd freeway exit. Easy access to Russian River just below the property. We stayed in the Crocker room in the main lodge, which is the most secluded, since it is at the far end of the wrap-around porch. The Crocker corner has large windows facing south and smaller windows on the corner facing west to watch the sun and moon set over the far ridges. Down below, the Alexander Valley is completely covered in grape vines. Sitting chairs and table with chairs on the wide porch complete the immediate outdoors. Inside, a massive four-poster king bed is the centerpiece of this high-ceilinged room. Period furniture pieces, including armoire, are complemented by modern gas fireplace and TV w/DVD/VHS player. Interior doors in each of the main rooms permit easy access to the central dining room.

The inn was up a country road- very relaxing. We loved the deck that wrapped around the inn with tables and chairs. Warm and friendly innkeepers.

The innkeepers are very knowledgeable about the wine areas nearby. They have catered to my husbands limited diet for 3 years now. A special little spot!

Cozy and unique. Lots of special details goes into each room. hosts are friendly and we would highly recommend to others!

Old Crocker Inn is a highly recommended dog-friendly bed and breakfast in Alexander Valley. Loved the location. The inn is tucked in the hills of Cloverdale within 30 minutes to the vineyards in Healdsburg and Geyserville. Very quiet and secluded. And very beautiful. Perfect location if you wish to spend a weekend in wine country. Alexander valley is an excellent alternative to the busier and touristier Sonoma and Napa Valley. Loved the breakfast. The blueberry and apple-cinnamon-walnut scones were AMAZING. The artichoke-sundried-tomato quiche with chicken apple sausage was very TASTY. And they have a wide selection of tea and beverages that are complimentary all throughout the day. The chocolate chip bundt cake they had the evening we stayed was EXCELLENT. Loved the hospitality. Marcia and Tony were AMAZING and friendly hosts. They make sure that you have everything you need to make your stay at their inn much more enjoyable. Loved the room. Loved the bed. The king-size bed in the Jupiter was very comfortable. Loved the spacious bathroom and the soft towels. And finally, loved that this AMAZING inn is very very dog-friendly. Stanford, our adorable corgi had a great time walking in the meadow and the trails. We highly recommend this wonderful place. And I almost forgot to mention that it is very reasonably priced. We will definitely come back to stay here again.

A beautiful inn on fairly large acreage. Nice rooms, not too Victorian- my husband liked it. In-room fireplaces, robes, claw-foot tub. Great breakfast!!!!!! Close to (not too close) river, wineries. very peaceful.

A wonderful place, great rooms, hostess was attentive, food healthy and tasty. Our second stay.

Finding a place like this is so rare, we would go back even if she doubled the rates and stopped serving those fabulous breakfasts!

A beautiful spot in the hills.The hosts are very helpful with every detail of your visit.Tony and Marcia gave us great ideas on wine tastings and places to visit.Definitely recommended for quiet getaway.Down to earth folks.
