The Hidden Oak Inn

So we stayed here last week.
We had all three rooms with our group.
Great place !
Very clean and really nicely decorated.
The only reason I rate it 4 stars is, I felt the owner did not do a great job introducing us to the place. She did not show us around or explain so things about the place to us. An example of this is in the outside refrigerator she has wines and refreshments for sale. We did not find this out till the next day. When this was addressed to her she stated «you guys did not do enough investigating»
We should not have to.
I could point out other things but not worth it due to the great location and nice house .
Just need some more hospitality, especially at the rates charged.

Charming B & B perfectly located within a short stroll from the town square.
Rooms and beds are nice. With a very homey bungalow ambience. An added bonus was a pool and jacuzzi. Valerie is an excellent hostess, and made us feel right at home.

Great place to stay, very close to the town and tasting rooms. Afternoon wine and cheese, great breakfasts. The room are clean and tidy, as are the bathrooms. Overall a lovely experience. Can’t wait to go back.

We did a fair amount of «web surfing» to find a bed & breakfast that fit our needs. Boy, we found a gem in Hidden Oak Inn! First of all, it’s located just a block away from downtown Sonoma — we walked everywhere each evening. The only downside to that is the front porch has slightly more traffic noise that I’d like, but I’ll take it to be walking distance to restaurants, shops, etc.
The inn is adorable — loved the decorations and the little details. Our room (English Garden) was lovely! Our friends had the French Lilac suite and it was equally as delightful. Clean, put together, detail oriented… loved it!
Valerie is the innkeeper… as well as her sweet assistants, Bailey and Madison (of the fur-​variety). The pups are very well mannered and entertaining as all get out. Back to Valerie — she’s friendly, hospitable, accommodating, and cooks a MEAN breakfast. Each day was different and there was always a protein option. Healthy elements were a part of each day, as well. In the afternoons, we always had a cheese plate plus wine, and in the evening we were treated to a fresh baked cookie.
The front porch is covered and very relaxing. There is also a side patio near the front that we never sat in, but it was pretty. On a couple of occasions, we did sit out back by the pool (never got in) and enjoyed the fire-​pit. We took a dip in the hot tub one evening.
I don’t believe there is AC, but there were ceiling fans and portable fans if needed. We didn’t need them at all — the weather was perfect while we were in Sonoma. Also, if you are looking for a place to plop down and watch TV, pick a different place. Hidden Oak is blissfully void of televisions. They do have wifi, however.
I would go back to Hidden Oak Inn in a heartbeat. As a matter of fact, I’m missing the afternoon cheese & wine right now…

We had an amazing experience at The Hidden Oak Inn. After a long drive from LA we arrived to a cheese plate and wine and sat out on the porch as the sun went down. We then went upstairs to our room and there were cookies and candies waiting. The house is really inviting and I felt really comfortable there. We were only there one night but on the second day I was looking into a rental bike when the owner offered her own bike to me to use for the full day (plus a lock and helmet!). I was so thankful. In addition, the breakfast was amazing — way beyond the traditional continental breakfast. There was even homemade juice! I am a HUGE fan of this place and definitely want to go again. Did I mention that the downtown square is only 2 blocks from the house?!

This is truly a Hidden Gem. I just stayed here this past weekend and have nothing but compliments about this B&B. We stayed in the Lilac Room which was very spacious and clean. My favorite was brunch each morning, every meal was so delicious I honestly looked forward to it each day I woke up. At night they also left homemade cookies for us which was a great treat after a long day of wine tasting. This was my first B&B and I will definitely be back! Great location, service and food :)

This is the most amazing B&B you’ll stay at. I came with three friends and we stayed in the French Lilac Room for the Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon last week. First, Valerie the Innkeeper is wonderful. She is extremely organized, relaxed, and welcoming. She let myself and my friends split our bill 4 ways no problem. She also made amazing homemade brunch for us every morning, no matter what time we came down. She has wine and cheese 5−6pm and gives each group an individual plate, often with her homemade jams and good wine. Our room was wonderful and cozy, and she was helpful in recommending wineries and restaurants in the area (she has divine taste). We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub. One of the amazing perks about staying at this B&B was that you get a card for complementary wine tasting at THIRTY local wineries. We went to four and it saved us $ 120 as a group, which is amazing.
My friends and I try to do a different trip every year, but we are seriously contemplating coming back to the Hidden Oak because it is such a gem.

Nice, cozy B&B just two short blocks off the square. Just 3 rooms so very quiet. Comfortable, clean and convenient. The added wine tasting card saved us almost $ 100 at the wineries. Great breakfasts and afternoon wine & cheese. Could not ask for anything more! We will stay here again the next time we visit Sonoma.

This place was warm and inviting with incredible attention to detail. The comraderie with the other guests over a delicious breakfast was truly a wonderful start to each day of our vacation. This is a great place to celebrate a milestone birthday or any other celebration.

This place is adorable. It has only 3 rooms. Ours was fairly large and very cute, with a sitting area and king size bed (it also had a Murphy bed, but I’m not sure why you would ever use that).
The common area was very cute, with living room, dining room, and fire-​side sitting room. They have a quaint happy hour, where they serve a plate of cheeses, crackers, bread, and fruit, along with wine.
In the back, they have a pool, hot tub, and hammock. They even have a small fridge near the pool, stocked with wine, beer, margarita mix, and a blender. VERY nice touch!
Breakfast was devine. We took ours on the country-​ish front porch.
I would definitely stay here again.

Great 3-​room B&B two blocks from downtown Sonoma. Plenty of space, not too frilly, pool & jacuzzi out pack and plenty of good food including afternoon wine & cheese, evening snacks & cookies and morning breakfast. Book well in advance through Sonoma Valley B&B Association (
