Rooms and Zen Suites

Gaige House + Ryokan features 23 rooms, including nine Ryokan Zen Suites in a secluded area at the back of the property. All spacious rooms have private entrances and offer perks such as premium bedding, air conditioning, free WiFi, and safes. Rooms are decorated in a contemporary style with Asian touches, such as shoji doors, bamboo furniture, and Far Eastern artwork. Select rooms have a private patio with creek views. Some suites include a deep granite soaking tub paired with traditional Japanese hinoki wood bathing accessories, including mats, stools, and ladles.

Breakfast and Dining

Mornings at the Gaige House begin with an included breakfast buffet featuring muffins, scones, fruit, and rotating hot options like artichoke quiche and blueberry pancakes, along with fresh fruit, yogurt, and granola. Menus include oatmeal banana pancakes and quiche loaded with cheese and broccoli. An early evening wine and cheese reception takes place in the living room each day. Breakfast is served in the dining room of the main house, which opens to a patio with covered seating overlooking the woodsy yard.

Leisure and Relaxation

The verdant setting along Calabaza Creek includes an outdoor swimming pool and hot tub. Two fire pits are available-one off the back deck of the Main House and one near Calabazas Creek. A meditation room ensures guests can relax. Guests may enjoy a spa loft, in-room or outdoors, in a private cabana. The yard has a wide wooden deck with a hammock and a picnic table under a large oak tree.

Location in Glen Ellen

The Gaige House + Ryokan is located on a secluded stretch of Calabazas Creek in Glen Ellen. Sonoma Valley Regional Park is 2 km away, and Sculpturesite Gallery and Jack London Village are each 1 km away. Other landmarks include Bouverie Wildflower Preserve (2 km), Jack London's Wolf House (2 km), and Benziger Family Winery (2 km). Though secluded, the hotel is a few minutes from Highway 12. The hotel is 40 km from Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County and a 21-mile drive from Napa.

Hotel Services

Gaige House + Ryokan includes safety features such as carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, a fire extinguisher, a security system, and a first aid kit. The woodsy backyard borders a creek with decks and patios. The property has hidden spots: a hammock shaded with ancient oaks, a miniature pagoda in a rock garden, and a gurgling fountain.

“This Glen Ellen escape distinguishes itself with a blend of wine country charm and Asian design influences, creating a tranquil environment. Daily wine and cheese tastings and tranquil outdoor spaces around fire pits encourage relaxation, while features like in-room Japanese soaking tubs enhance the serene ambiance. Its proximity to local vineyards and dining offers a balanced retreat.”
