Old Crocker Inn

I stayed here a few weeks ago for a little girls getaway. We were attending a party for Mercury (make sure you check them out in Geyserville) and usually just stay in town but my friend decided to book something a little nicer. From the moment we arrived Friday night, we were in love with this little slice of paradise. I think we may have never left all weekend if we didn’t have plans. The breakfasts are amazing and filling, perfect start for a day of wine tasting, the rooms are cozy, clean and ours had a clawfoot tub which is always a bonus for me. We felt like we were staying with family because the folks that run the place are just the sweetest. I can’t wait to return.

Great place. Owner Marsha and Karen give the best customer service, always there for us. I’ve stayed three times now and it has been wonderful. They aim to please.
The house is so large and the grounds so well kept that it makes the stay really aesthetic.
We’ll be back.

My fiancé and I came back for our second trip this past weekend. It was great like before. We stayed at the Hopkins room. Both the bedroom and the bathroom were clean and quaint. There were candy in bowl on the dresser. Two luggage racks available for our use. There’s a backdoor that leads to the patio. There’s plenty of parking for guests. Good number of rooms. It wasn’t overcrowded. There’s also a wide selection of DVDs that guests could borrow. There were two wine glasses await on the dresser. If you want to read more, please read my previous review.
I love going here in the summer. It was warm for sure. We rented bikes at Cloverdale Cyclery.

We stayed at the Old Crocker Inn over the Memorial weekend 2015 for our annual gathering with our College Friends (this was our 36^th annual gathering). Old Crocker Inn was beyond our expectations, rustic, clean, views, just a place to kick back with your friends. close to great Restaurants, vineyards and golf courses. The rooms had all the conveniences and again, very clean. Tony and his staff made us feel at home. If you want the real experience of the wine country we highly recommend the Old Crocker Inn. We will be back.

We had a wonderful weekend in Sonoma at the Old Crocker Inn! Beautiful gardening and landscaping and very friendly owners. Buildings are quaint, older, and extremely well kept, with new updates and super soft sheets. We saw lots of deer every day! The breakfast was generous, plus there were always snacks, soda, and tea out for guests. A little further away from things than we thought but that meant it was quiet and relaxing. They provided all kinds of things for guests, like DVDs, games, magazines, pool, etc.

I’m a fan as it is well maintained and very peaceful. Such nice small touches like snacks and coffee in the dining room at all hours. I missed the wine the first night but I saw it the second night. That was fabulous! The breakfast was good although a little odd in how they do it in shifts. Although I understand why — staffing vs. number of guests. I will certainly return when the price is right. There is another B&B not too far that does exceed this one a bit.

It’s like going to your aunts house for a weekend (the good aunt)
My husband and I arrived late because it was thanksgiving weekend. By the time we got there it was so dark, we were starved from being in traffic all day. We wanted to drive back into town to grab dinner, but the owners daughter and her friends insisted to feed us. They had been there for a few days for thanksgiving. They offered us dinner and wine just like we were simply guests at their house. Super nice people. We even got to have some of their home made dessert! Thank you so much if you guys ever read this.
Next morning we got to meet Tony and his sweet wife Marcia. They made us the most amazing breakfast ever. So welcoming. I loved it there. I’m actually planing on going back and renting a cottage. This place is dreamy!
Did I mention that we left a nice jacket behind. They are mailing it back to us. Thank you so much for the hospitality.
Luis and liana,

Awesome retreat off the beaten path. Stanford room was gorgeous. Clean, cozy, fine linens, wonderful hospitality. Loved our short stay and will come back again!

If you are looking for five star, look again. If you are looking for a cool little funky getaway with some very friendly people and some quirks, look no further. Great for the price, kid friendly and very accommodating. Outside is run down a bit, but it seemed to fit in with the surroundings pretty well. It seemed like they hadn’t updated since the 80’s which oddly again seemed to fit in just right. I can usually be kind of snobby about hotels, as I travel enough, but it was refreshing to come here and was very relaxing. Both breakfasts were super yummy. It is quire a ways from anything which, if that is what you are looking for, could be a good thing.

Everything about this B&B was just perfect; from the secluded, wooded location, to the delicious breakfast and friendly proprietors. My daughter and I were here in early April when the redbud, ceanothus, poppies and buck brush… local flora… were all in bloom. The room, Stanford, was just right; spacious, comfy bed, sliding glass door with screen opening to a wrap around porch. I highly recommend the Old Crocker Inn!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Old Crocker Inn! My husband and I spent our 2^nd anniversary here, and we lucked out because no one else was with us! The grounds were well maintained, the room was very cozy, and the peaceful nights were very restful We stayed during mid-​week in the winter, so that helped, but it was paradise! Tony was an amazing owner. He had so many recommendations on where to go wine tasting, dinner, and driving routes. Not only that, but he is an amazing chef and a genially nice person!!!
I highly recommend staying here if you want somewhere tranquil, beyond beautiful, and restful. I will definitely make this a tradition of going back whenever we can :)

Love love LOVE this place! Once you get here, you can’t help but relax. The grounds are beautiful. It’s a little ways up the road so it’s very quiet and peaceful. We stayed 2 nights and I’m so glad we did, it was a great «re set» button from the stresses of our every day life.
When we arrived we were greated by Tony who poured us a glass of wine and showed us around. The lobby area is decorated by beautiful nick nacks from all around the world. Here is a rundown:
–Every morning you are served a delicious, full course breakfast (kept us full til later in the afternoon)
–There is coffee and tea available at all times and freshly baked goods.
–They have a movie collection available and you are free to borrow at any time.
–Free wifi
–There’s a pool (which we didn’t use as we came in the winter)
–Ice available as well as waters and a microwave if you need to heat up any leftovers, etc.
–Cards, dominoes and other games available in the lobby area
–Wrap around deck with beautiful views of Alexander Valley
–In room massage available upon appt
We stayed in the Stanford room. Clean, cozy, and extremely comfortable bed! Each room (and the inn itself) is named after a historical Bay Area figure and you can read all about it in the room you stay in or there is a book in the lobby. If I remember correct, Crocker himself actually owned the property, he was one of the «Big Four» and also owned the property which now holds Grace Cathedral in SF.
I read some other reviewers saying it is a ways away from everything. It took us about 10 minutes to get to Geyserville and hit up the Dry Creek Road Wineries which is not bad at all. If we were closer to town, we would not get the beautiful views and peace and quiet this place has to offer. Thank you Tony and Marcia for your warm hospitality and generosity. Can’t wait to return!

Truly a hidden gem!
Old Crocker Inn is everything we wished for and then some! An old hunting lodge perched atop a hill overlooking the vineyards, away from everything and very quiet. Dripping with old world charm, the place is extremely clean and well maintained. Also, they allow pets in the cottage rooms, so it was nice to have our baby girl with us. Were able to go for long hikes in the morning and evening on the surrounding hills and admire the scenery and the abundant wildlife. The gourmet breakfast was cooked and served by the owners themselves and was to die for. The majority of hotels offer continental breakfast, so to our surprise our breakfast was healthy and fresh, with muffins and scones just out of the oven, fresh fruit and scrumptious home cooking in a beautiful presentation every morning. The Wine Passport we received at check-​in allowed us to taste free of charge at a lot of wineries and we also got a discount on the wines we purchased. Marcia and Tony were extremely friendly and accommodating, we were literally treated like family the moment we stepped in the door. I read many reviewers complaining that the inn is too secluded and far away. If you are enjoying big, shiny hotels in the bustling downtown of a city, then this place is not for you. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a quiet, romantic getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

We spent 2 nights here. I didn’t realize it was so far up in the hills. Rustic but comfortable. The hosts were great, as was breakfast. There were several deer lounging on the property right outside our door. The only drawback was that it’s a ways from everything else.

Walked in. Looked into the bathroom. Toilet paper was folded into a point.
Five stars.

Holy crap on a cracker we loved this place.
The drive up the hill to the inn was beautiful and as we approached the property we saw 3 deer. When we checked in we found out that we had been upgraded to a nicer room. Yay. The rooms look cabin like on the outside but are very comfortable on the inside. Our suite had a living room area with a fireplace and couch with pullout bed. There was also a bedroom with a super soft king bed. The bathroom was nice and spacious with a jet bathtub. We had a front porch with chairs, a side porch with table and chairs, and a hammock in the back. This was the Central Pacific Suite and I would highly recommend it.
The owners were nice and friendly. The common room is big and adorable. They have movies for you to borrow and when we arrived in the evening we took advantage of their fresh baked cookies and tea. At check-​in you choose your breakfast time (8:30, 9, 9:30). The breakfast was fab! Breakfast is served in the common/​dining room area and there are plenty of tables that seat 4. We were offered coffee and juice and then brought out a tasty smoothie in a margarita glass. Then a delicious breakfast of banana pancakes and bacon was served.
We only stayed one night but wish we would have stayed more. Our stay was part of a girls’ trip but this inn would also be lovely for a couples or family stay. Highly recommended.

I loved this place!
We stayed for 2 nights at the beginning of July. I was so impressed with the location, friendliness of staff, accommodations and quality of the food.
The Inn is located out of the way, set back in the woods. The grounds are peaceful and beautiful. Wish I could have stayed an entire week. The location is great — set back away from hustle & bustle but just minutes away from the wineries on Dry Creek Road.
All the staff members we encountered were friendly and went above & beyond to make our stay comfortable. Upon checking in, we were given a cheese & cracker tray that was enormous! Plenty for dinner.
We stayed in the Golden Spike room — which was adorable. Very comfortable and modern amenities, but still plenty cutesy.
I used a Living Social coupon for the stay, so it was an incredible deal. I highly recommend Old Crocker Inn and hope to visit again soon!

What a great B&B. The wife and I stayed in the Central Pacific room for labor day weekend and had a blast. Though she was initially skeptical as we drove down the dirt road, we were both thrilled when we walked around the facilities. The «room» is really more of a private cottage, so that probably helped. :)
Breakfast was delicious and a great way to start each day. The pool was pleasant and the stars were shining like crazy (though drunkie was passed out at that point and I had to view them solo). Healdsburg was a short 20min away and great vineyards were plenty accessible. I will definitely come back here.

Just completed a wonderful stay at the Old Crocker Inn, for my sixth time, at least. My wife and I absolutely love this place. Hosts Tony and Marcia run a tight ship with amazing food and service. The property is super clean, quaint, and a home away from home. The owners were so helpful in guiding us to some great wineries in the area and other things to do. Rooms at the inn are wonderful. Spacious, clean, and everything I would expect from a proper B&B. Sheets are AMAZING!
I have read some of the negative reviews and there are three that are obviously from the same party. All I can say is that there are two sides to every story and we found nothing but professionalism from both Tony and Marcia. Secondly, if someone asks you «if you have any food allergies», it seems to me whether you are allergic to pork or not, if you don’t eat it due to religious reasons that this would be the time to mention it. I mean, really, are the hosts expected to run through your life history to find out your dietary restrictions?
Reviews on both Unilocal and Teipadvisor are stellar for this property and we found it lives up to the best B&Bs, and we have been to many… over 73 properties in the last three years.

In April I got married and so I went looking for a place to stay for a mini honeymoon. The hubs and I were looking for a short and small getaway close to home (we’ll be taking a longer honeymoon in August). I bought a deal for this place from Living Social. We had never gonna wine tasting before so this was our first time! This place had good reviews and the pictures of this place looked too cute.
We drove all the way here from Davis. The trip was a little longer than what we expected. And all I can say is most GPS’s don’t know how to get you here and google maps isn’t very smart. So follow the directions in the e-​mail that they send you!
This place is owned by Marcia and Tony. I worked with Tony over the phone for my reservations. He wasn’t the quickest with technology and taking down my information so you should have patience or make reservations online — FYI I made mine over the phone because of the Living Social deal. When we got there to check-​in, we found Tony was away and Marcia was left to handle things on her own. She’s a very sweet lady. She’s also the one that makes all the food! Amazing cook!
The rooms are very cozy. The hubs was impressed the high-​tech door lock that used a number pad. I liked that the room was like a mini 1 bedroom cottage. It had a very romantic feel to it, which was perfect. We made sure to take advantage of the fireplace and the whirlpool tub. But I think my favorite part was the bed! Very soft sheets and you just melt away into sleep. The only issue we had with the room were the bugs. Now don’t let that scare you. It’s just that my hubby extremely dislikes bugs. We found 2 baby spiders, 1 yellow jacket, 3 mosquitos. I think bugs are bound to get in and they weren’t much of a problem for me to handle.
Now the food! Yes it is also a B&B afterall.
First day: we were served 4 muffins with pecans on top and honey and butter on the side. YUM! Next was a slice of baked pineapple with toasted coconut shavings — never had this combo before and it was good. The main course was poached eggs with polenta. I was a bit skeptical, but it was good too! There was juice as well. Hubs and I opted for the pomegranate juice.
Second day: margaritas with no alcohol, but still tasty! There was also homemade granola and I’m a fan of granola. The main course was BELGIAN WAFFLES! They were loaded with fruit and some bacon on the side. YUM YUM YUM!
I’m a huge fan of the food here. Marcia is great! FYI, she also makes a cake every night that you can go into the main lodge and get some. The first night there was an apple cake that was just soooo good. She even gave me the recipe for it.
Note: when you check-​in, they ask about food allergies etc. Hubs is lactose intolerant so Marcia made sure to not put any cheese in the polenta or yogurt in the margarita.
