Beautiful oasis type setting in Healdsburg but not in the main square. Breakfast was amazing and served by the chef himself.

I cannot wait to visit again in near future! Everything, from the room and accommodations to the grounds and staff, was just top notch. What put The Ruse over the top was the amazing custom breakfasts from the chef, who delivered our meals himself! Love

Very comfortable accommodations conveniently located near Downtown Healdsburg. Nice amenities - hardy breakfast, 18 hole putting course and pickle ball courts. A bit noisy being so near to the main street. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Exceptional stay!

The Ruse is an exceptional property! From our beautiful, modern, comfortable and spacious room, to the relaxing pool, to the delicious breakfast in the modern pavilion, to the friendly staff, we had a five-star plus stay. We stayed only one night and I wish we could've stayed a week - there were more amenities than we had time to take advantage of! We look forward to going back as soon as we can!

A Gem in Hearldberg

The Ruse is a beautiful B&B. Our room was large with a fireplace and a lovely porch. There is a large pool and hot tub , a 18 hole putting green and pickleball courts. Every morning they prepare a gourmet breakfast for you in a great room with views of the pool. Derek was fabulous and made our stay feel special.
