The Ruse

Everything was thoughtfully appointed. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly.

Nice comfortable and welcoming lobby.

Beautiful impeccably maintained property away from the bustle of the plaza area yet .9 mile walkable to the plaza on an off road path. The newly renovated property has a “ less is more” design esthetic which is both functional, calming and appealing. Our queen room with private balcony overlooking the heated pool and sunsets was spotless and cozy with comfortable bed and crisp linens. Bathroom was equipped with good products, ample thirsty towels, robes and slippers. Breakfast was an unusual feature; no menu nor choice of food. However the prepared breakfast was IMO an elegant gourmet arrangement. Our table was set with OJ before our arrival. As I ( we) have no allergies nor specific food avoidance it was perfect! Aiden, the chef, was very friendly and had a great playlist! The aesthetic of the dining room with gas fireplaces was pleasing and offers an excellent view of the property. The staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful. Derrick was always around and we learned a good bit about the property and wine area from him. He was never too busy for a friendly chat making the stay very personable.

All good!

I cannot wait to visit again in near future! Everything, from the room and accommodations to the grounds and staff, was just top notch. What put The Ruse over the top was the amazing custom breakfasts from the chef, who delivered our meals himself! Love

Super comfortable beautifully decorated room.

Breakfast was a bit odd. Although we were able to indicate that we were all vegetarians, we were not given any other choices and were served a pre-determined meal that was not what I would have chosen for myself. Also the portions were quite small and no bread or anything extra was served. We went out and got breakfast afterwards because we were hungry. Would have preferred a simple continental breakfast with fruit and bread.

Hidden gem. Gorgeous interior.

Beautiful rooms

The breakfast was weird

Unique spot within walking distance of Healdsburg! Quality and amenities were fantastic.

Derrick was so friendly and made us feel at home. He even brought us breakfast this morning since we didn’t make a reservation. And Christina was so helpful when we had problems with the TV.

Nothing! It was all wonderful
