The Ruse was really incredible! And despite our joke before check-in, there was no ruse. We weren't totally sure what to expect upon arrival, but our room was fantastic - updated, clean, well-appointed - just all-around lovely. We stayed in "The Palmer" with three adults (sisters) and it worked perfectly with a king bed, pull out sofa, generous bathroom and perfectly ample storage area for 3 suitcases. We also loved having the second entry to our room (via the bathroom) lead right to the pool/hot tub area (and breakfast!). The included breakfast was great, and The Pavilion is a beautiful room. It's an easy walk to town (although on a dark road, so not for everyone), and we would very gladly stay here again. All the B&B amenities with a very high-end hotel vibe, and great service with any questions or needs. The weather wasn't warm enough to use the outdoor amenities, but this would be extra fantastic during the warmer months - plus two patios private to our room. We did love an evening soak in the hot tub after a day of exploring. 10/10 recommend!

Very comfortable accommodations conveniently located near Downtown Healdsburg. Nice amenities - hardy breakfast, 18 hole putting course and pickle ball courts. A bit noisy being so near to the main street. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

A Gem in Hearldberg
The Ruse is a beautiful B&B. Our room was large with a fireplace and a lovely porch. There is a large pool and hot tub , a 18 hole putting green and pickleball courts. Every morning they prepare a gourmet breakfast for you in a great room with views of the pool. Derek was fabulous and made our stay feel special.

Exceptional stay!
The Ruse is an exceptional property! From our beautiful, modern, comfortable and spacious room, to the relaxing pool, to the delicious breakfast in the modern pavilion, to the friendly staff, we had a five-star plus stay. We stayed only one night and I wish we could've stayed a week - there were more amenities than we had time to take advantage of! We look forward to going back as soon as we can!

Perfect stay in Healdsburg
We had an amazing stay at the Ruse. We stayed in the Nicklaus. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was lovely. There is a private porch to sit and have coffee or wine. Breakfast is included in the pavilion and is DELICIOUS! It was different each morning using fresh ingredients. We also enjoyed all the amenities: pool, hot tub, pickleball courts, and 18 hole putting green. It's the sister property to Mayacama golf course and we were also able to book a tee time through the hotel. Everything is amazing and highly recommend!
