WINE COUNTRY ESCAPE!

Secluded Luxury In The Heart Of California's Wine Country, Gaige House is an excellent choice for a honeymoon or romantic Wine Country escape!
Gaige House 13540 Arnold Drive in GlenEllen, CA 707.935.0237
Tucked into the Sonoma Valley hamlet of Glen Ellen, the Gaige House feels like a secret hideaway. Of course, it's not really a secret; the Gaige House is regularly recommended in Michelin and other guides, and has been listed repeatedly in Condé Nast Traveler's Gold List of the top hotels in the world.
An elegant blend of vintage and contemporary, the inn features 23 thoughtfully appointed guestrooms with a modern, Asian flair. The verdant, secluded setting along the Calabaza Creek includes an outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, and is accented with delightful surprises in hidden spots: a hammock shaded with ancient oaks, a miniature pagoda in a rock garden, a gurgling fountain.
After a day of visiting nearby wineries, boutiques and art galleries, return to the Gaige House to indulge in luxurious spa services provided in our spa loft, in-room or outdoors in a peaceful and private cabana. All guests enjoy a complimentary, full breakfast every morning, and an afternoon wine and cheese reception.
Bountiful Breakfast Buffet Included
Available from 8:00 am to 10:00 am each morning
Our signature breakfast buffet is included with your stay and features a hot entrée prepared by our innkeepers. Banana Pancakes, Spinach and Goat Cheese Omelette, Artichoke Quiche and Caggiano Ham are just a sampling of what you can expect at breakfast each morning. We also prepare a fresh baked good such as our delicious Blueberry Muffins, Apple Spice Cake or Banana Muffins. Breakfast also always includes cereals, breads, fresh fruit, juice, tea and coffee. Most of the dishes we prepare each morning can be found in our new 7th edition The Kitchen at Four Sisters Inns Cookbook.
Magic Hour: Afternoon Wine and Cheese Tasting
Available from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm each afternoon
Join us for a glass of wine and tasting of cheeses including Humboldt Fog, Danish Blue and Port Salut plus marinated olives each afternoon. It’s the perfect way to relax and celebrate after a day of sightseeing.
Freshly-Baked Cookies
Available throughout the day
Cookies are a Four Sisters Inns tradition and you’ll find complimentary, freshly baked cookies, available on the sideboard across from the front desk. Our most popular choices include Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies, Macaroons and Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies.
Spa Treatments at Gaige House
Allow our highly experienced and skilled therapists guide you to a place of perfect relaxation. Massage at Gaige House is customized to suit your needs and is guaranteed to rejuvenate your spirit and encourage your body to come back to the place of peace. The Gaige House offers a truly private experience unlike a traditional spa. You’ll enjoy in-room treatments in our spa loft or your Zen Suite, or an outdoor massage on our spa deck, all delivered by highly skilled therapists who are committed to your well being and relaxation.
