Review Sonoma Orchid Inn formerly Ridenhour Inn, Guerneville, CA

Photo Album

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.
