The Ultimate Spa Experience

“You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy a massage. And that’s kind of the same thing.”

We came across this saying online years ago and it’s kind of stuck with us. It makes us laugh but it’s also kind of true. A massage at any Spa, if they are doing their jobs right, will leave you feeling relaxed, calm and peaceful. All of those at the end of the day all lead to the same thing in our opinion, and that’s happiness. Our Camellia Inn Spa in Healdsburg is just one of many Spa destinations for you, your friends or your family members.

All these individuals will suggest the Chicken Fried Steak, Huevos Rancheros and the Country Benedict whose magical powers include a warm baguette, scrambled eggs, bacon, mushrooms, oven-dried tomatoes, spinach, hash browns and Hollandaise sauce. There’s a reason why Dierk’s is one of the best breakfast spots in all of Sonoma County. We suggest heading over to their website to see the entire menu. http://www.dierksparkside.com/

The Parish Cafe

The Parish Cafe is on the top of our list for Healdsburg Breakfast spots for you to enjoy.: Do you love beignets?  If that’s all you have for breakfast, no one will fault you, since the feather-light French pastries are rolled out by hand before being quick-fried and smothered in powdered sugar. Chef and owner Rob Lippincott, pays tribute to his Louisiana heritage with New Orleans masterpieces such as Eggs Nouvelle Orleans or eggs benedict, piling poached eggs, mounds of sweet blue crab meat, silky house-made hollandaise and a scattering of shallots on crisp buttered French bread. All around, polished wood-plank tables are laden with plates of baguette po’ boys stuffed with eggs over medium, savory Black Forest ham, provolone, spinach and tomato; crawfish-andouille omelet; or shrimp and grits studded with bacon.

If you are a lover of a good show, then our B and B in Healdsburg has an option for you to enjoy. “Room Service” is a way to let go of the rigors of everyday life. You can get swept away to the year of 1937, where a nimble-witted producer, living on credit with several actors in a Broadway hotel, stumbles onto a great script with an angel that has $15,000 to invest! But when the angel wants to back out, the producer eludes the reluctant angel, outwits creditors, and manages to produce his play in spite of unexpected obstacles in this classic screwball comedy. It’s a great play that will have an Opening Night filled with Bubbly. On Sunday, there will be a post show Discussion. Join them for opening night of any production and stay afterward for a celebratory toast to the cast and crew! Immediately following all Sunday matinees, members of the cast and crew will return to the stage to answer your questions. This event will last until February 10th. But you should book it now because tickets will sell out rapidly. Head over to this website to learn more and to buy tickets. https://www.raventheater.org/

Swimming, fine dining, shopping, wine tasting, canoeing, hot air ballooning, kayaking – name it, and the Russian River Valley has it all!  As it winds through Northern California, the Russian River creates plenty of activities that you can enjoy as a family or with your partner.

Here are some ideas you should consider if you are looking to have a weekend getaway along the great Russian River.

Canoeing Trips

Russian River

Love canoeing? The Russian River offers lots of canoeing opportunities. Just pick your favorite spot, rent a canoe and spend some time floating down the Russian River, stopping to enjoy beaches along your way. Although the waters are not so turbulent expect do to some paddling to avoid colliding into the vegetation that’s along the river banks.

Wine Tasting

Northern California is well known for its great wineries. Start at Napa and enjoy tasting a wide variety of wines, and if you can afford a bottle, carry one back home and there’s more! The Westside road that stretches from Healdsburg to Guerneville is packed with amazing spots to sip some vino. Arista  has a scenic vine-garden, which is connected to a tasting room.

Visit the Historic Central Plaza in Healdsburg

Healdsburg historic Central Plaza was once named among the most beautiful town squares in America by the Travel + Leisure Magazine. The town offers quite a delightful mix of luxurious and rural lifestyles, gourmet restaurants and many other charms. You would need more than a day to explore tasting rooms, bars, restaurants and galleries if you are a fan of art. In addition do not to forget the Healdsburg Veterans Memorial Beach along the very Russian river.

Relax at Johnson’s Beach

As the locals will tell you, Johnson’s beach is one of the best summer spots along the Russian River. Imagine sunbathing, swimming and floating along a river that’s nestled among redwoods? That’s Johnson beach for you! For over a century, the spot has remained Guerneville seasonal tradition with many snack bars and lounges around.

From fun water activities to luxurious lounging, the Russian River Valley has a lot to offer. If you are looking for a fun place to unwind and relax after a long day of activities, the Camellia Inn is a great place to spend your time. Contact us for more details.
