With a solid 4.4-star rating and glowing feedback from guests, it offers a warm, inviting atmosphere that goes beyond the typical motel experience. The property is nestled on 1.5 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, complete with apple trees and flower gardens, creating a peaceful retreat that still keeps guests within a short, enjoyable walk to downtown Healdsburg’s vibrant plaza and nearby Veterans Memorial Beach.

Pet owners will appreciate the no pet fee policy, which combined with the motel’s dog-friendly environment, makes it a rare find in the area. Outdoor amenities like the pool, fire pit, and picnic tables encourage relaxation and connection amidst the scenic grounds. Mornings are brightened by complimentary continental breakfast featuring homemade scones, often described as "to die for" by returning visitors.

Nice, clean, dog-friendly motel run by a family. Hidden gem in Healdsburg especially when you consider the price of other accommodations. It's walking distance (about 10 mins) to the plaza, though with the construction on the main street, it's a little odd to navigate right now. Continental breakfast is complimentary including some of the most delicious scones ever! The lady who runs this place is very kind, personable and will give out recommendations for restaurants etc if you need them .
Once you get the past the initial Bates Motel vibe () —-you will realize that why this truly is one of the best kept secret in Healdsburg.Nothing fancy but it ticks all the necessary boxes——super clean,excellent host (Wanda) and a 10-15 min walk to downtown. Dog friendly (no pet fee like other hotels in the area!) highly recommend
We absolutely LOVED this hotel! Such a cute place, everything is clean, the rooms are super cute and Wanda the owner was fabulous. She gave us great recommendations of places to go and try and we had a blast. The hotel is just a few blocks from downtown Healdsburg which is really no big deal. --we enjoy walking! A lot of good wineries in the area as well!
This place is adorable! The woman who runs the motel is so sweet and helpful. She also made these scones that were to die for during our stay. It's a nice walking distance from downtown, too!
This motel is wonderful. The rooms are very clean and updated, homemade scones in the mornings, fire pit, picnic tables, pool, and you can walk to downtown Healdsburg. The staff are super nice and they are dog friendly! I would definitely stay here again =]
Love it! Wonderful motel,10 minutes from downtown, 5 to the beach. Beautiful rooms and grounds,had the pool and spa to ourselves all weekend. The owner is delightful and super helpful with recommendations. Also the scones and coffee in the morning are nice. A favorite for many years,we will be back!
Set on 1.5 acres of grounds with apple trees and flower gardens, this long-standing, family-owned motel is just off Highway 101, and an 11-minute walk from both Healdsburg Veterans Memorial Beach, and the restaurants and shops in the Healdsburg Plaza area.
