Our stay at the Rafford was wonderful... Seriously: we were welcome with a glass of wine and cheese and had a chance to get acquainted with our hosts that were so friendly. They helped us find a dinner reservation and even gave us a map to get there. After a delicious breakfast, Dane gave us a tour of his personal... More

The Raford House is 130 years old and in very nice condition. It overlooks vineyards including owners Rita and Dane's small plot. They have 6 rooms. Our large room was Angelica with King size bed and period furniture plus a very nice private porch. They have a number of staff plus spend a lot of time with guests including a... More

Hubby and I stayed at the Raford Inn for two nights during a 10 day trip in California. We are frequent guests at Bed and Breakfast Inns in five different states and this one ranks up at the very top of all we have stayed. The rooms are immaculate, the breakfasts are heavenly and a social wine and cheese hour... More

We recently returned home to the Philadelphia area after staying at the Raford Inn for four nights. Rita and Dane were wonderful hosts. We were up early and loved sitting out on the porch to watch the sun rise and the birds. (For you birders, there are two types of hummingbirds, Bullocks Orioles, Hooded Orioles and Acorn Woodpeckers. We walked... More

It's with some sadness that I write this review on our way home to Australia, after saying farewell to Dane and Rita's wonderful hospitality and such a beautiful part of the world. I can't imagine a better base from which to explore the scenery, wineries and restaurants of Sonoma County. The B&B concept, executed so well at the Raford Inn,... More

This is a lovely inn, with a great front porch and within walking distance to Farmhouse Inn (eat there! - so good), though the Healdsburg address is a little misleading - it's actually closer to Forestville than anything. We found it to be a great and reasonably priced base for exploring the Russian River Valley, which is our favorite part... More

We celebrated both of our birthdays at Raford Inn in March. It was a dream on a hill. We were pleasantly surprised to find a lovely little chocolate cake and bottle of champagne in our room. What a sweet treat that was. Rita and Dane, the owners, were wonderful hosts. They couldn't be nicer. Rita and Tawny provided us with... More

Just returned from a lovely two day stay with our friends at the Raford Inn outside of Healdsburg. The inn is located on a hill overlooking vineyards & forested mountains. The room was clean and quiet with plenty of room to move around. We have had the opportunity to stay at number of B&B's in the states and overseas as... More

We are afraid to stay at any other bed and breakfast because nothing could live up to the Raford Inn. We have been going for more years than we can count and have never been disappointed. There is nothing lovelier in the evening than a glass of wine on their spacious deck overlooking the vineyards. Rita, Dane and their entire... More
