And yet again another great stay at For Friends Inn. We have been guests (feels like great friends) of the inn for several years and we come back to visit Dave, Katie, Spencer, Carolyn, and Vanessa at least twice a year. There has not been a more welcoming and RELAXING experience that we have ever had in our various travels than For Friends Inn. You are welcomed when entering the warm reception area, you are greeted with kindness and hospitality when checking in. The rooms ( we’ve stayed in several of them) as well as the bungalow's each have their own nuances and we’ve enjoyed each one. From the very fun daily Happy Hour especially fun when Dave is there to sing, to the amazing breakfasts from Sandra and Vanessa ( who are so kind), and the enjoyment of wine country with excellent food choices within walking distance. The review is long but there is so much to say about enjoying a non-corporate hotel chain who appreciates their patrons. For Friends Inn creates such a special experience for each of their guests and is welcoming to all. I highly recommend you stay. Once you do you will be back.

Very welcoming stay, super sweet and informative hosts. They give you a friendship pass to use at their favorite wineries and restaurants and a map of where to find them. Loved my stay at this cute Cottage with my little family of 4. I definitely recommend 👌

Honestly…this was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had! Dave (owner of For Friends) is an amazing person! My company did a full buy out of the Inn, and we had a blast! Each room is unique, spotless, accommodating, cozy and comfortable! Would give them 10 stars if I could! What a great location as well. Walking distance to great restaurants and the local bar ( The Maverick) which was super fun! Simply, a cute little town. Would absolutely come back - thanks again, Dave for everything you and your staff did for our group! I feel grateful to have had this experience.

The room was very clean and spacious. The porch was perfect for morning coffee. We loved the touch of a bottle of wine on our arrival. The wine tasting at the inn was very nice - great wine and cheese spread. The staff and owner were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again.

This Inn is amazing! Beautiful, close to many wineries and restaurants in a quaint and charming village. The rooms are well furnished, quiet, and very comfortable. Breakfasts are very tasty, and the afternoon happy hour gives guests a chance to enjoy local wines and great munchies. We have stayed here several times and will always choose this Inn when we are going to be in the area.

Stayed in one of their bungalows, the Edison room blue door. It was so clean and perfect. They had all the amenities we needed. The place was very clean and comfortable. Had a wedding that weekend so we’re looking forward to our next trip there. Breakfast was wonderful and our hostess Sandra was great. It was great to meet some of the other friendly guests. Dave gave us a bunch of recommendations for wineries that included free tastings for Inn visitors. Happy hour was fun seeing Dave sing and play the guitar and have some wine and appetizers. Love the rocking chairs on the porch. Truly great hospitality was enjoyed. Cheers!🍷
