Had a wonderful 3-night stay in the Gaige Suite. The room was outstanding. Huge bathroom and private deck were great features. Pool was small but heated, quiet, and never busy. Breakfast was outstanding and the wine tasting every evening was a highlight. Also loved the fresh cookies every day. Perfect location in Glen Ellen and a short drive to either Sonoma or Santa Rosa. Highly recommend

The Gaige House has beautiful grounds and offers excellent amenities and a wonderful breakfast. However, our stay had significant drawbacks. One staff member treated us disrespectfully and was quite condescending. The bed frame was flimsy and low-quality. comparable to inexpensive student furniture. While the property itself is lovely, these issues prevented us from having a fully enjoyable experience.

The hotel is beautifully situated near a creek and among trees and attractive landscaping with outdoor seating areas around the pool and on porches. The amenities were good - from a guest wine tasting in the afternoon to breakfast in the morning. Our room - a Deluxe King, however, was lacking. It was much smaller than shown on the website and did not have the Asian design aesthetic and comfortable/luxury feel reflected in the online photos. For example, the bed frame was made from metal and you had to be careful not to hurt your legs on the sharp edges when walking around it. The mattress was very flat and hard. The room only had one window and was dark during the day. In Sonoma, travelers do spend most of their time exploring the vineyards, towns, and natural beauty of the area, however, staying in a warm and welcoming hotel room is also part of the overall experience.

Very nice property for calm, peace, relaxation. Exactly what we were looking for. Limited number of guests. Everyone seemed to be looking for quiet and comfort and this fit the bill. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and mimosas in the am. Took advantage of a quiet hot tub in the evening.

My only negative was the location didn’t allow for an easy walk around anywhere off of the property. No fault of the property, it’s just where the hotel is.

Where can I start? This place is nestled in quaint Glen Ellen, with a spacious property and plenty of privacy. So many high- touch amenities- a glass of campaign when you check in, afternoon wine and cheese hosted by local wineries, a nightcap sake bar, and complementary breakfast. We used the pool, hot tub, the meditation room, and we had a fire pit all to ourselves ( there are two fire pits). We stayed in the main house, and had our own external entrance and private patio. We would definitely stay here again. Close to so many wineries

The place is pretty nice. It just felt that its managed by non professionals. We had to climb stairs to get to our room - it wasn't terrible but I wish we were told about this beforehand. The property is pretty nice, secluded, loved the firepit and the creek. I wish they lowered the meditation music a little bit so that we could enjoy the nature. What seemed a bit unprofessional is that at checkout we got a call right at 11 am (checkout time) claiming that they wana see if we already checked out, but sounded more like rushing us to checkout maybe ? I just wish they waited just a few more minutes lol. They still were nice. I would go back again regardless!

A nice and peaceful retreat in beautiful surroundings. Overall, we had a good time. Mixed impressions of service. Pamela at the front desk was wonderful, warm, friendly and accommodating. Her colleague Crystal, on the other hand, was brusque and unwilling to accommodate any wishes. (Example: during the « wine hour » on the first night Crystal offered rosé, which I don’t like. When I asked if it would be possible to have a white wine on the following night she answered: no.) In fact it was possible and in the end it was offered, but her immediate « no » had left a bad taste. ) There were other examples as well. I think Crystal needs to keep working on her guest service skills.

Amazing stay!!!

From the moment we arrived at the Gaige House, we were enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere that made our three-day stay truly unforgettable. The staff were the epitome of hospitality—friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile. Their genuine care for our comfort enhanced our experience and made us feel like cherished guests.

One highlight of our stay was the delightful charcuterie board and wine happy hour. This generous offering showcased a remarkable selection of local cheeses and cured meats, perfectly paired with exquisite wines. It was the ideal way to unwind after a day of exploring the beautiful surroundings.

Mornings at the Gaige House were equally enchanting, thanks to the delicious breakfast spread and the refreshing mimosa bar. Each bite was a delight, and the mimosas added a festive touch to our mornings.

As if that wasn’t enough, we were treated to fresh-baked cookies that were simply irresistible, alongside a complimentary sake and Port wine bar for a cozy nightcap. It was the perfect way to end our evenings, savoring these thoughtful touches that exemplified the Gaige House's commitment to excellence.

In short, the Gaige House exceeded all our expectations with its outstanding service, generous hospitality, and delightful amenities. We left feeling rejuvenated and eager to return. Highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking a luxurious yet welcoming getaway!

There is a pool, sauna and meditation garden that I didn’t use but looked wonderful. Breakfast was not gourmet but was well done with hot and cold dishes and fruit.

The accommodations were great, matouk towels and large spacious two head shower and large deep bath for two. The room had a cold bottle of sake and two little desserts waiting upon our arrival.

We attended the complimentary wine and cheese hour and probably ate a little too much before our dinner reservations. In addition to the wine and cheese, the sit has Complimentary chocolate chip cookies, sake or port at any time of day.
