Rooms in boon have wood burning fireplaces and vinyl-playing record players. The feel in all is low-key, casual but very heavy on taste and texture. Luedtke also owns next door Cantina, El Barrio where she makes a mean margarita. The adults' only boon hotel and spa needed a companion restaurant in town and boon eat and drink was born. Luedtke, is known throughout Sonoma as the person who transformed Guerneville into a big name on travelers' maps through a canny knowledge of food and hospitality. ![]() Luedtke felt that the area needed a place where luxury was affordable and so her 14-room boutique hotel was born.

Moving into the "Red Woods and Rivers" area in the interior of the country you'll find the boon hotel and spa (lower case on purpose) in Guerneville, a memorable and sensual place to stay. Wine lovers will want to stop into The MacPhail Family Tasting Room, for a taste of small-batch Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and more from the Sonoma Coast, the Russian River and the Anderson Valley.

Locally made snacks, smores, and of course, a bottle of local wine greets you on check in. There's also a free soap bar where guests get to pick their own artisanal soaps and bath products gratis before checking into rooms that seem to have every creature comfort imaginable (and for no extra charge). ![]() There's a Michelin-starred restaurant where you can get some of the best food in Sonoma-and in this food lover's paradise, that's saying a lot.
