Can't wait to stay again
We've been wanting to stay here forever and finally got the chance. Highly recommend. The Zinfandel room was wonderful, spacious, quiet, and loved the hot tub. The breakfast was splendid and we are so happy we did the massage, one of the best we've had. I can't wait to stay again

If this B-and-B's rockin', don't come knockin'
Very friendly staff, great location, great food. Unfortunately, we were in a first-floor room with *extremely* active upstairs neighbors. Between their heavy footfalls and athletic sex, there were hours at a time when we couldn't enjoy our room (or sleep) in peace. Sometimes, it literally seemed like the room shook. It's a shame, because we really did like the place and the people who worked hard to make us feel at home.

The Inn is an old victorian house with beautiful stained glass windows and other charming features. The rooms are quiet, spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The inkeeper Ve is the hostess with the mostest! She contacted me in advance to verify our arrival time, met us when we arrived and showed us around, offering us a glass of really good wine and a snack! The full hot breakfast was wonderful. We took a walk around the lovely neighborhood and it is a short walk into the village where there are many ships and restaurants. We were in town for a wedding but we will be back to explore the wineries.

Beginning with a quiet afternoon nap on a comfy mattress the space invited relaxation and calm. We walked to town (about 7 minutes) for dinner and a show. The breakfast was 5 star including homemade granola! As a tea lover, I have to point out loose leaf tea and actual pots to brew it in! We will definitely return and hope to take advantage of the spa and pool next time.

Loved it!
Excellent location, only a couple blocks to the plaza. Vintage B&B with nice amenities - wonderful cook to order full breakfast, cookies & wine happy hour, with wrap around porch seating, large reception area, and a speakeasy in the basement! Our room was large with a separate seating/tv area, king bed, double sinks & jacuzzi tub/shower. Quiet and very convenient.

Great stay
We loved our stay at Grape Leaf Inn. Will and Candy were sweet enough to give me a cup of coffee before my morning walk and before breakfast. We stayed in Zinfandel and loved all the skylights and huge tub with jets. You are no more than a 5-10 minute walk to town. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful Little Boutique Hotel!
There was seven of us and we had four rooms with updated furniture and Decor. The rooms were good sized with fair size bathrooms. Very clean and well maintained. We stayed there around middle of June for one night on our way to our destination and returned back to stay another three nights! Staff were very friendly and a very nice chef who prepared and cooked us great breakfasts every morning with fresh squeezed juices served outside in a cute garden! Down town was within walking distance with very nice restaurants and shops and we visited several vineyards too. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay at the hotel as well as Healdsburg and the surrounding areas. Thanks to everyone specially Veronica, the manager of Grape Leaf hotel who took care of our needs. We definitely recommend this beautiful cozy boutique hotel that has a interesting history too!

High risk for head injury
The room is definitely a high risk for a head injury or slip and fall getting into and out of the enclosed tub/shower. There were no glasses or tissues in the room. When using the bathroom you are facing mold on the shower door. At 5’2 I took the side of the bed with the slanted ceiling and continually banged my head. My poor Husband really saw stars when he opened the dresser drawer and raised up. This is what we call a rip off even if it was only $100 instead of $300 a night!

Response from Tim/Reservations on 18 Aug 2020
Vivian, thanks for leaving your remarks. Unfortunately, we do disagree with you. The vast, vast majority of our guests find the slanted ceilings quaint -- we are a former Victorian home. And we are not putting glasses or Kleenex in the rooms due to COVID safety procedures. We realize that Inns/bed and breakfasts are not to everyone's tastes. Safe future travels.

Seque to wine country
My girlfriend and I had a great stay. It was a very comfortable, luxurious place with a good breakfast. Just a few blocks from the plaza area. A big bonus was visiting some of the co-owned wineries which waived their tasting fees, making the entire trip a real bargain. It was a nice way to experience wine country. I'm sure we'll be back.

Grape Leaf Inn Highly Recommend
It was amazing. You were given a glass of wine and cookies upon arrival. If you wanted a afternoon glass, just ask. They were wonderful, showing us how to get to various shops and restaurants. Gave us recommendations and help any time we asked. The breakfasts were terrific, with choice of sweet or savory. Just fantastic. We arrived 1 day early and they easily accommodated us!
