We loved our stay in the secret cottages.Well appointed, fun vibe, and a super good location. We ate nearby at the Glenn Ellen Star, and wine tasted at Talisman accross the street. In the morning we went down the street to Le Pascals, a great French cafe, for breakfast.The best collection of pillows and towels. We had a shower and a large jetted tub in our room.There was a coffeemaker in the room where we got enough to get us out of the house and on towards breakfast.A cute patio that looks over the river, which we could hear softly all night.

This is a beautiful little inn, with over the top amenities in the rooms, including jacuzzi jetted tub, fireplace, and steam shower. Beautifully decorated with carefully chosen decor. The location right along the creek is picturesque and romantic. So close to many great restaurants, including Salt and Stone, and Les Pascales.

We stayed 4 nights in cottage #3 and loved it! The cottage and surrounding property is just very relaxing. I loved how our cottage seemed a little more private than the others as it's entrance is hidden and it had a little porch area as well as an outdoor private patio. We loved the ability to walk to the local restaurants and market and saloon. Housekeeping and management were very attentive and the room was very relaxing. It was a great place to come back to after a busy day of exploring the local area and wineries.

We had a WONDERFUL overnight stay at Glen Ellen Inn. The rooms were quiet, well appointed with everything we needed and had lovely sitting areas on the porch and outside by the creek. We would definitely return. Thank you.

Very cute cottages with nice outdoor areas to sit. All cottages have a patio as well as a larger area over looking the creek.

Neat place. Very "kitschy" in its decorating and surroundings. Very comfortable rooms. Think of it more as a collection of Airbnb cottages rather than a hotel. Great location if you want to be in Glen Ellen.

Such lovely cabins in a beautiful spot. Very walkable little town for restaurants, wine tasting and groceries all a few minutes walk away. We enjoyed cheese and wine sitting by the creek.Walkability: Very walkable little town for restaurants, wine tasting and groceries all a few minutes walk away.

The cottages are so charming and in a great location! We stayed in Cottage #5. Winter is not the usual time to be in wine country, but this stay made it the perfect time to be there. It is next to the creek and was absolutely amazing to stay in. Opening the windows to listen to the water run over the rocks and having the fireplace going was while it was cold out made it feel cozy and relaxing. The owners attention to detail is notable and were very attentive to the comfort of our stay. I loved everything about the cottages and if I get the chance to come back to this area, I will definitely stay there again!
Amazing place.At the risk of this place getting even more popular, I'd have to say this place is truly a gem.Service is incredible!Karen and her staff are impeccable.The entire campus borders on shabby chic with vintage tradition.Loved all the detail! Stayed in cottage six. I highly recommend it!!Can't say anything bad about it. Stellar performance!!We'll be back for sure!!

The best little cottage I have ever stayed in. Karen was absolutely wonderful and the property had the most adorable touches. Allot of touches in room as well to make our stay outstanding.

My stay at the Glen Ellen Inn was invigorating and reviving and much needed after a very hard week at work. I won't go into the work details, but the Glen Ellen Inn was the perfect respite. The room was beautiful, well decorated and cozy (in a large warm, comfy, relaxing kind of way), and clean. You could tell such great love was put into the little details to give us a heart felt experience. Our room overlooked Sonoma Creek and a cute little stone bridge. We had a beautiful private garden that allowed us some time in nature and we were able to enjoy a glass of wine and reflect on our day out. We also had a beautiful in room spa that comforted us after our long cold morning of Zip Lining at Sonoma Zip lining Adventures (amazing experience ask for Brady and Kirsten they were awesome). The bed and pillows welcomed us and we slept so peacefully. The inn is perfectly situated in the town of Glen Ellen, a place I'd never heard of and honestly thought would not be the highlight of our visit given Sonoma is minutes away, but it was a place that dazzled us in so many ways and we ended up spending most of our time there. Home to Jack London, we visited a few amazing places including the Jack London Saloon and Lodge, the Michelin star restaurant called the Glen Ellen Star (It was literally next door to the Glen Ellen Inn), Garden Court Cafe, Sonoma Zip-lining Adventures (about 50 minutes away), Yeti Restaurant (Indian Food), Les Pascals Patisserie and Boulangerie, Tips Roadside for brunch (Kenwood), Walt wine tasting room (Sonoma Plaza, partner to Hall winery in St. Helena), Sonoma Mission, Harvey's Donut Bar (Sonoma Plaza), Prohibition Spirits Distillery (Sonoma Plaza), and Murthy's Irish Pub (Sonoma Plaza)....because you have to visit an Irish Pub wherever you go;). I honestly couldn't thank Karen and Chris more and I am looking forward to coming back and enjoying their cottages and Bar once it reopens. Karen and Chris, thank you so much for the stay and for the thoughtful touches and recommendations. Hope to see you again soon.

Glen Ellen is in a great central point between Sonoma and Santa Rosa. The town had a great small town feel and the Glen Ellen Inn is in a quiet street off from the main drag. Karen has done everything to make you feel welcome and always makes herself available to assist with any concerns. Overall, we had a great time at Glen Ellen Inn and would recommend it to anyone!

This is the second time we have stayed at the Secret Cottages, and we loved it as much our second time as our first! Such a cozy location tucked back off the road. We stayed in Cottage #7 and loved it. I soaked in the tub and enjoyed the steam shower. It was too warm to use the fireplace, but I image it would be lovely on a cooler evening! I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting the area!
So cute excellent weekend
