Timber Cove Resort (& Other Sonoma Properties) Site Review
Curated by
Katherine Flynn
I recently stayed at the Timber Cove Resort in Jenner, CA, and visited a few other Sonoma County-based properties including the Madrona in Healdsburg and JD House at Inns of Mendocino. We all already know how amazing the Madrona is including the design, service and attention to detail. The team is so fantastic. JD House was also great, with a delicious breakfast dropped off each morning and complimentary wine happy hour. The Water Tower room is a fun standalone option to stay in.
Girlfriend’s Guide to Sonoma and Napa Valley

I love our Northern CA wine country and travel there at least twice a year. My favorite place to stay is the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa, a 5-star resort featuring Geothermal Mineral Springs that are fed into their pools and spa. Their curated wellness experiences offered at their luxury spa and Roman bathhouse are unparalleled to any other local resort. I guarantee you will be lost in tranquility whether indulging in their spa services or sitting fireside in their charming lobby, sipping complimentary vino offered at their wine tastings from 4:30 - 5:30pm daily. The Mission Spa Suite King is my room of choice, a 550 sq. ft. home away from home, that includes an oversized jacuzzi tub, quaint wood-burning fireplace, and lovely sitting area. The resort offers exceptional on-site dining options and room service. Don’t forget to stop by their gift shop and pick up the Fairmont Sonoma candle that captures their smell of splendor and peacefulness.

We've got a confession: we are utterly, hopelessly addicted to travel. It all started when our founder packed her bags and set off to explore the world, ending up living and working across six continents (have no worries, we’ve traveled to the 7th, too). From the otherworldly landscapes of Patagonia to the pulsing streets of Buenos Aires, we've collected stories, friends and an insatiable appetite for new experiences in 85 countries (and counting!).
