This was one of the most relaxing properties me and my husband have stayed in. Our room was so nice and cozy with french doors leading to the courtyard directly. The board games area, the lounge area was all sooo warm, beautiful and cozy. The service was very good, the front desk sent a cute tea tray to my room when I mentioned to them my stomach wasn't feeling well. We had breakfast at the restaurant within and was nice. My only regret was that my stay of one night was too short!

Had an amazing mini-moon here with my wife - the property is unique and beautiful, the staff is friendly and helpful, and everything you could want in Guerneville is just a short walk away. Wish we had made time to try out the restaurant more - the one breakfast we did have there was amazing

A very cozy and homely hotel, spacious rooms with all the services including a Jacuzzi bathtub. Tasting menus even though I like regular cuisine as Spanish.Walks among trees totally in nature.

I was needing a getaway weekend and found this hotel. Beautiful place and details. The main house has a cozy fireplace with blankets, books and boardgames. I enjoyed the complementary wine while reading my book. My room was clean and big with a gorgeous tub. Bring your own epson salts and bubbles if you want to use it. The mini fridge was full with drinks including wine, and snakes were reasonably priced. Breakfast was included. Different options to choose from. There's a restaurant in the premises but you have to make a reservation. The food was delicious. What I didn't like were the sheets. They had a strong chlorine smell. Still water had the same taste. I couldn't sleep properly thanks to the guests upstairs making noise at 5am on a Sunday. Who is awake so early? Jeez. It's common in old houses to hear the voices and footsteps I guess. Just ask to get a top room if you have a light sleep like me. Also, when receiving the receipt on the email, it'd be better if it explained the detail instead of just the $.

This boutique resort is a world away....yet close to the charming town of Guerneville. The rooms and public spaces are bespoke with plenty of spots to read, rest and recharge. The staff are thoughtful, professional and strive to make your experience unforgettable. Cassandra was knowledgeable about the history of the property and showed us some spaces of the resort we didn't know existed. Great experience!

Just booked our trip for February. This review is based on my interaction with the owner, Emily. SHE IS LOVELY! We are so excited to stay and if the hotel matches her hospitality, I know it will be such a memorable and beautiful stay. Can't wait!

I had a wonderful birthday getaway here! First of all the property is beautiful. There’s lots of space to wander around, looking at beautiful trees and a meadow. From the top of the hill, there’s a spectacular view of the area and you can see it sitting on a bench swing. The staff is all very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating! my room was gorgeous. I enjoyed sitting and reading in the large lobby area with a fireplace. They have games and puzzles for you to work on, which you can do during their wine happy hour. Breakfast was awesome! I recommend the breakfast sandwich. This is a great place to have peace, quiet, calm, and beauty!

We stayed at The Stavrand for our wedding weekend and are so thrilled that we did! It is the most peaceful and beautiful location. With so much going on around our wedding, we were truly able to relax and decompress at The Stavrand. The team there was extremely helpful and thoughtful, leaving us an amazing wine and chocolate in our room to congratulate us and bringing champagne at breakfast for us (plus breakfast is delicious). The rooms are so comfortable and the pool and hot tub are the perfect temperature and beautiful surrounded by trees. The beds are also incredibly comfy. We will be coming back soon! Thanks for making our stay so memorable and perfect!

We had a beautiful experience at this hidden gem, the cedar hot tube and fireplace in our room set the mood for an amazing evening of great food and friendly conversations. In the morning we had some tasty coffee and our breakfast was as delicious as dinner. As we walked through the redwoods back to our car we were already planning our next stay. Thank you to all the staff who made our experience so memorable.

I can't write enough great things about The Stavrand. Having visited for three nights during the week in early fall, it was quieter. The grounds are beautiful with many areas to lounge or relax including the pool and hottub. The room was huge, clean, and had an outdoor soaker tub. Easy walk to Guerneville and some great restaurants. Short drives to some of the best wineries and hiking in the whole region.☆ Awesome breakfast in the restaurant☆ Great wine hour☆ Incredible friendly staff always ready with recommendations☆ EV charging on siteIf you're considering a visit to the area, highly recommend it.

This is an amazing property, and we will definitely be going back. Everything about the Stavrand is really well thought out and well executed--sitting areas, strolling opportunities, amazing food and an uber-attentive staff. Our room upstairs in the Belden House was well-appointed, and the bed was super comfortable! Warning for those with "princess tendencies": I believe the property dates back to the 20s, so the floors, doors and stairs will creak. This was NOT an issue for us. From the moment we checked in, it felt very much like 'home'. We spent a wonderful night in front of the fireplace playing cards and games. The walk to downtown is easy, and the ride or drive to Armstrong Woods is a must-do. Dining options on the main drag in Guerneville are numerous, from casual to really fine dining (we couldn't get to Boon or Saucy Mama's in time Sunday night but Dawn Ranch served an amazing small plates menu on --beyond good!). The morning breakfast and coffee in the Stavrand Dining Hall were top tier--the NOT French Toast is not not delicious. Must have. Again, I cannot emphasize how friendly and accommodating the staff at the Stavrand is (hope you had a happy Friendsgiving, y'all). See you in the Spring!
