A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because Two MICHELIN Keys, in 2024 and 2025, reached an inn under the redwoods twenty-five minutes west of Healdsburg – no Forbes rating, no flag, an independent house carried in by MICHELIN alone – and we list it in the four-star tier, and say where it is.
- Two MICHELIN Keys in 2025, as in 2024 – no Forbes rating; the inn enters on its Keys alone and is listed here in the four-star tier.
- 21 rooms in three buildings on six acres at 13555 Highway 116, outside Guerneville – the former Applewood Inn, renovated and reopened in 2022 under Emily Glick, its owner.
- Russian River Valley rather than Healdsburg proper: about twenty-five minutes west along the river – we list it under Sonoma & Healdsburg for the county, and say so.
