If ever there were a time for a massage, it is this year. With treatments ranging from a light, Swedish massage to deep tissue work, our therapists stand ready to help you get back to center. Select a discrete outdoor venue beneath the redwoods, enjoy the massage in the comfort of your own room, or treat your partner to a couple’s massage and emerge rested and ready for the next adventure together. Reserve your appointment in advance to guarantee availability.

Stick with the classics or indulge in something new. Choose the s’more kit that best suits your flavor for adventure. Pair your toasted treats with the evening's complementary beverage as the day slips into evening.

Enjoy a complementary evening reception (5 to 6 o’clock) as the sun slowly dips below the redwoods. Sample an amuse bouche from our chef while you reflect on the day or plan tomorrow’s adventures. Most evenings, we’ll raise our glasses in the courtyard; on chilly occasions, we’ll light a fire in the Belden House and welcome you into the heart of our hotel. We promise to keep your glass full with something of interest – be it a stunning local pinot noir, a Japanese sake we adore, or a local microbrew. Each night’s offering aims to delight your palate and introduce you to something new and memorable.

Coming Soon:  Start the day with a soak gazing up at our two “fairy ring” circles of towering redwoods, or unwind in the afternoon with a poolside cocktail and sweet or savory snack. Better yet, prepare for a massage treatment with a hot tub session to help uncoil your muscles. Make sure to take in the art installation at the far end of the pool, depicting the wandering path of the Russian River. On certain dates, local mixologists and distillers will spotlight their craft with poolside demonstrations for a beverage worth remembering.

Just steps away, the famed Russian River offers abundant opportunities for recreation. Guides and organized activities are available through local companies, or you may opt for a self-guided adventure using our equipment, available free of charge throughout your stay.

From the hillside of our property down to the orchards, apiary, and vegetable garden of the opposite Chef’s Meadow the Stavrand offers you room to roam. Walk slowly, soak up the sun, and breathe in the sounds and scents of nature around us. If reuniting with friends or reconnecting with a loved one, create a lunchtime picnic at our store featuring collected favorite products from neighboring Sonoma businesses. Or, retreat with a great magazine under a tree, and enjoy some space to slow down and take it all in, uninterrupted.
