We stayed at Stavrand for a few days just after new years. It was a wonderful experience. Everyone on staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The daily happy hour is great and lets you mingle with some of the other guests or find a little corner to continue your escape with whoever you came with.

We also want to commend their deep local knowledge. We arrived on New Year's Day and were very worried we wouldn't find place to eat. The staff was able to suggest restaurants we didn't know about that were open which was superb. They were equally knowledgeable with additional activity ideas after we had exhausted our preplanned ones. Finally, even when it rained one day the horde of board/card games kept us occupied and cozy in the sun room.

We both highly recommend Stavrand and are looking forward to our next stay there.

My husband and I stayed at the Stavrand for two nights during our visit to Northern California. Even though it was an hour away from the wineries we were visiting, it was well worth the travel time. We would return without a doubt; it was comfortable and accommodating in all the best ways. Truly felt like an oasis. We booked late, so we’re in a basic room in the main house. While I would have loved a suite, our room was still great!

Some pluses: close to Guerneville restaurants for night time activities, fire pits, beautiful grounds, very comfortable room/bathroom, cozy common area, the nicest hosts, I could actually go on. They also partner with Marimar Estates for free tastings: highly recommend.

The minuses: the toilet seat slipped around off the base and there were no window coverings in our bathroom (faced directly out to the pool area). Really, that’s all I have.

I’m not often a repeat visitor, but I’ll be returning without a doubt.

Can’t say enough nice things about the staff (thanks Cassandra!) - the friendly service was the highlight of our stay. The property, the rooms, and the amenities exceeded our expectations. In particular, we loved the cozy main house with the board games, fireplace, and generous happy hour. Big plus - the hotel is dog friendly (they provide a dog bed, bowls, and welcome treats). It’s also a beautiful wedding venue. We’ll defintiely be back!

Emily is an incredible owner and proprietor. I love what she's doing with the property and how she manages her team members. Amazing views of the stars at night from the upper deck of our room and a lovely breakfast in the morning - whoever is cooking in there knows what they're doing! Lovely location - the smell of fresh pine is everywhere once you pull into the property.

I stayed a couple of nights with my sister on a birthday trip. The service was very nice and the location was fabulous. We were disappointed that the fireplace was not working in the main lobby and that the outdoor hot tub did not have operating jets. WiFi was spotty. We were not able to maintain a steady connection for work and streaming entertainment.

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!

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!
