Napa & Sonoma: Where to Stay: Boutique: Gaige House

Gaige House

About six miles north of Sonoma is Glen Ellen, a picturesque town that was once home to writers Jack London and M.F.K. Fisher. This is a stylish boutique hotel with the charm of an inn—freshly baked cookies, anyone? There are twenty-three rooms: five accommodations in the main Victorian mansion and the remainder around the periphery of the house. The Zen suites are unique, each with a private Japanese garden, fireplace and granite bathtub for two. The spa is tucked into the house’s penthouse, but have your massage outdoors, weather permitting. Don’t miss the gourmet three-course breakfast. Rooms from $200.
