I am so sad to hear this place will be changing. Patty was so kind and was able to get me checked into my room earlier. The chef made this incredible spätzle breakfast that I can’t stop thinking about! all the staff is incredible and sweet. Plus the room itself was so comfortable.

This is not a good place to stay

Our $383 king room was small and cramped. It seemed very undecorated and rather monastic. There was no comfortable chair and only a tiny round table which was not useful for anything. The lights were so dim (including in the bathroom) that it was even hard to apply make up -especially because there was no make-up mirror. The bathroom had no counter-space on which to put our stuff. It also had no towel hooks or towel bars to hang things from. We were supposed to eat breakfast in the pavilion, but we were called in the morning and told it was closed for a private meeting so the food would be delivered to our room or outside on the communal deck. We told them that was not possible because there were no tables. We had to looked around ourselves for a suitable place to eat (and found a small table outside the pavilion) The only reason I did not give this place one star is that the grounds are pretty, it was quiet and the breakfast was pretty good.I could go on and on but needless to say- we don’t recommend saying here!

This will be my go-to stay while in the Healdsburg area. Breakfast was delicious and inventive and the facilities were fabulous -- putting green, pickleball, pool -- all while in a quiet area of town. Staff was helpful and friendly, and the rooms were thoughtfully appointed, avoiding microplastics in cups and bottles. About a 20 minute walk to shops and restaurants.

Beautiful hotel and grounds!

The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and food was very fresh. Grounds were amazing. We enjoyed the pickleball, putting green and pool. Close enough to Healdsburg square to walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would like to return.

We had a great time at The Ruse. This was the best stay we had on our California road trip! Every member of the staff was incredibly helpful and kind. The groundskeeper, both front desk workers, and chef for breakfast specially went above and beyond to make sure our stay was incredible.
