An absolutely wonderful hotel, fantastic, peaceful location, super friendly, helpful staff.
On site restaurant is excellent, I can highly recommend staying here, we'll definitely stay again.
We loved staying here and took advantage of the restaurant and bar downstairs for evenings and the cheese store across street for our morning cappuccinos.
Cozy local historic building. Friendly staff. Amazing New Orleans food. Closest place to Bodega Bay sights! This place is a must if you like local spots.

Very clean, love the rustic decor, restaurant and bar amazing food and drinks
The place is super old. No TV’s in rooms, the bathroom was awful. Linoleum coming up by base of toilet and close to the front and back wall. Super small bathrooms and toilets don’t work well. There’s not much privacy except a door. Cute town and area but we are NEVER going back. Staff is pretty much absent. No phones in the room either. Spent way too much money here and hoping no one else does. They need upgrades before they let people stay here. Place is just too old.
The hotel was so cozy and so cute. The stay was lovely. I will definitely be back. The whole hotel is adorable and so comfortable very close to Bodega Bay and Petaluma.
Fabulous restaurant and very kind staff. Quaint little town and so close to Dillon Beach and Bodega Bay! A shout out to Rae and Theo for their extra care.
I loved my stay at the VF hotel. There was a mix up when i arrived, but it was quickly fixed with a short call to the owners from the gal working there in the restaurant (who was extremely friendly and helpful). I loved the convenience of self-check-in and out and having the restaurant and bar underneath, which was amazing. Valley Ford has come a long way since i was raised in the area in the 80s and it is adorable and bustling with quaint eating establishments, the robust market, and the old faithful Denuccis. I will stay here again!
Very clean, cute, accessable h20 and coffee. Great bed slept well, reading material. No tv, which was ok for
for me I like to read. Lots of stairs, everyone very helpful. Enjoyed my short stay, would stay again. I go to bodega bay several time a year
Love town of Valley Ford,
lots to see ,food excellent.
wellwell
