This is a clean property. Not really comparable to other hotels/ resorts since there are no food options on site other than breakfast. The room and the facilities are well maintained.

Breakfast was amazing and served by the chef himself.

I cannot wait to visit again in near future! Everything, from the room and accommodations to the grounds and staff, was just top notch. What put The Ruse over the top was the amazing custom breakfasts from the chef, who delivered our meals himself! Love

Very comfortable accommodations conveniently located near Downtown Healdsburg. Nice amenities - hardy breakfast, 18 hole putting course and pickle ball courts. A bit noisy being so near to the main street. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
