Would be nice to have black out curtains in the room and shower water took a while to hear up.

We loved the breakfast, pickleball courts, and golf! Everyone who worked there was super nice and friendly. Room was very comfortable and luxurious.

The room itself was on the small side, but this is a minor complaint.

incredible facilities included in such a place that accommodates only a small number of guests. Very good breakfast that changed each day.

Frankly, other than the lack of a bar, which we would probably not have used anyway, I really can't see a way to improve this hotel.

We stayed at the Ruse for 4 nights, and it was wonderful. Very quiet and secluded feeling even though it is in the town itself. We had a green side suite which was kind of like a private cottage overlooking the enormous 18 hole real grass putting green. We didn't have time to enjoy the amenities but the pool and hot tub looked very inviting, we wanted to play bocce ball and pickle ball but no time. Next time. The room was very large, bed uber comfy as were the linens. Every light switch had a dimmer, so you can custom tailor the lighting to your own desires, and the thermostat was NOT on a motion detector and was NOT locked at certain limits, so you can actually set a temp you want, and not have to worry about the unit going dormant while you sleep due to no movement. One of my pet peeves with hotels now..... The bathroom was enormous with a really large walk in showered, fantastic water pressure and a great shower-head. Win, win, win! Breakfast was delicious. It is Cali, so the meal had the Cali feel to it, not waffles, scrambled eggs, etc. but the food was delicious and presented very nicely. All of the staff, front desk, breakfast folks, groundskeepers, room attendants, ALL of them super friendly. The overall decor is modern, very clean, furniture comfy. The overall impression is minimalist, almost Scandinavian in some ways, austere in others. But very pleasing, comfy and functional. The property is gated after 10 pm so very secure. This is a very nice place to stay and we highly recommend it. We do not give 5 star ratings often, The Ruse earned one.

6 pickle ball courts, 2 bocce ball courts, and an 18-hole practice putting green, pool and hot tub. Excellent breakfast.

Pool, putting green. Pickle ball court

Nothing ! We loved everything about the hotel and the grounds !

The hospitality and breakfast every morning by far exceeded our expectations . Some of the most delicious breakfasts we’ve ever had ! The rooms are extremely comfortable and the grounds and landscaping are beautiful with an excessive amount of space to either play or relax. The pickleball ball courts were such a nice bonus !!

Nothing, just wish we had more time there. We had several plans while in the area and would have loved more time just relaxing at the inn.

What incredibly beautiful accommodations set in a most beautiful location! We enjoyed swimming in the heated pool and then relaxing in the jacuzzi. My husband and I loved the breakfast that was included with our stay - both the meal and dining room were superb. I thought the hotel would be very nice from the website photos but we were both so happy with our room, and we are looking forward to our next time staying at the Ruse.

Everything! This boutique hotel is newly remolded. Our spacious 1 bd room suite was extremely clean, the bed was comfy, it included robes and slippers for all three guests, soda and regular water in the mini fridge, the guest sofa bed was turned down and made and it was smartly designed with a back door entrance to the pool area. This enabled you to enter directly into the large bathroom when wet from the hot tub and pool. Our stay included breakfast which the hotel emailed in advance to inquire about food restriction. The food was fantastic. To top off our stay Derrick provided impeccable service, giving us recommendations on wineries, car services and restaurants in the area. We highly recommend this location.

putting green pool hot tub bocci beautiful breakfast to die for staff

Merely nit-picking, really. As with just about every other hotel, the bathroom lacks enough hooks and/or towel bars to hang robes and towels. Also, it's difficult to see well enough to apply makeup with the relatively dim lighting in the bathroom. Lastly, given that our room had a bathroom with a single sink, a mirror in the bedroom would provide a place to use style hair or apply makeup while the other person uses the sink.

Charming, helpful staff, beautiful property, well appointed. Lots of great seating areas outdoors. Delicious breakfast, artfully prepared and plated. Incredibly comfortable bed and pillows. Dimmer switches in the room and a powerful bathroom ventilation fan are very useful touches. Nice selection of low-key outdoor activities -- putting green, pickleball, pool, bocce ball. Top notch quality towels and linens. Understated decor done well.

The staff was very friendly and they gave us a tour of the hotel upon early arrival. The property has only a few rooms, that are fully renovated and the hotel itself has a lot of facilities to enjoy (mini golf, pool, pickle ball). We had the most delicious homemade breakfast every morning.

Stayed in September 2023

Two minor suggestions- magnifying mirror in the bathroom and electrical outlet by the bed to plug the cell phone.

Much more than I expected! I came across this gem of a property on Booking and it met my very specific expectations. I needed a room that was handicapped accessible, which should t be hard to find but at times it is difficult. The property was perfect. There were no curbs (husband can walk but can’t step up on a curb or use steps) . Our cottage had a steeples shower and our cottage Was beautiful and comfortable. The property was amazing, the breakfast was wonderful and came with fresh squeezed orange juice. I will be back but I’m afraid that it will be sold out now that people are learning about this new property in the Healdsburg.

The only suggestion we made to the amazing staff was to add an outdoor shower by the pool. That way guest can stay longer on the grounds and shower off afterwards even after they’ve checked out.

The main building is stunningly renovated with all modern amenities and luxurious rooms that are impeccably clean. The grounds are huge for a hotel with 11 rooms (including their cottages). We felt like we were the only ones staying there even though they were fully booked. We enjoyed playing pickle ball, trying out the putting green and the pool and hot tub both during the day and at night. The newly built pavilion is beautiful and we really enjoyed the delicious breakfast that chef Craig served us in the morning (all included). The service and the staff went above and beyond to give us the very best experience and helped us with recommendations and bookings. Christine and Debbie were especially exceptional!

Bocce! We had so much fun playing with friends. Majestic old oak tree lit with beautiful lights anchored this wonderful property. And the koi pond! How wonderful. DELICIOUS breakfast by chef Craig who gave an excellent suggestion to go out to Bodega Bay. Wonderful stay.

Stayed in September 2023

Nothing we can think of. Everyone was so polite and helpful. We will be coming back 100%

Amazing property with stunning views and so much to do all onsite. The breakfast with a private chef was just icing on the cake and absolute privacy is incredible. We felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. We even walked across the way to a winery and bring back a few bottles.

I overheard that they are working on getting a license to sell alcohol which would be nice. It would be great to see the Pavillion (where breakfast is served) serve wine/beer and maybe light food during the day/evening.

Delicious breakfast, very accomodating staff. We were upgraded to a suite and it was beautiful and comfortable. We also enjoyed the putting green and pickleball courts.
