The Stavrand.

Set on a six-acre estate in the heart of the Russian River Valley, The Stavrand balances the architectural history of its 1922 Belden House with a crisp, Mediterranean aesthetic. The property’s 21 guest rooms are spread across several buildings detailed with white stucco and Mexican Talavera tiles, offering a sense of privacy amidst towering redwoods. Interiors lean into comfort with gas fireplaces, soaking tubs, and private balconies that look out over the central courtyard or the forest canopy. Beyond the pool and hot tub, the experience centers on a refined culinary program featuring daily changing multi-course menus and evening apéritifs. Its location offers a quiet, upscale alternative to Guerneville’s more rustic lodgings while remaining minutes from the river and Armstrong Woods.
