We have stayed at this unique Russian River get away two times - the first summer they opened for business (3 years ago) and most recently, Memorial Day weekend in 2010.
What a wonderful find nestled in the California redwoods and close to one of my fave hippie enclaves - Guerneville. (LOVE the 5 and Dime on Main Street!) The rooms are ultra modern and spacious but still comfy with a emphasis on green products - the floors are gorgeous! We had a private porch and fireplace both times and Sue left the fire pit ready for us FRI night when we returned from dinner to enjoy the hot tub. I did a massage on both visits and they were wonderful!
When you travel to any destination, near or far, you never know what to expect. Something I find is that very often the places tourists go most often have either the worst or the most expensive food or worse, both. As a foodie, I am often disappointed. When people are traveling they want to have the best time possible. We don’t often get to escape the hard work and stress of our lives. The last thing we need is to be disappointed in a meal or feel like we have to skip something that sounds good because the prices are just ridiculous. We recently took what started as a scouting trip for the site and ended as just a great trip to Mendocino and the surrounding areas. Here are some of the places we stumbled into that we would be happy to recommend.
Growing impatient with the incessant hot weather this summer, Fall hast roughly pushed Summer out of the way and brought cool crisp weather almost overnight. Stepping out your front door first thing in the morning brings a cool breeze to your nose that you have missed for many months. Soon will be the time for hearty soups, lazing around the evening fire and apple pie. What better time than now for an early season visit to Apple Hill?
