Fun and games for all at Creekside Inn and Resort in Guerneville

Creekside is offering an extended stay at our expense.  Come in on Thursday the 3rd of September and stay until Tuesday the 8th.  Avoid the traffic and enjoy an evening at the Occidental Farmers Market. Book your stay on the Creekside website.

The pool is open the river beaches are hopping and our new hot tub is up and running.

Spring is here and the flowers are in bloom.   The rain should  stop tomorrow, the sun will come out  and we have availability this weekend.  http://www.creeksideinn.com

Farmers’ Markets are opening.  Give special attention to “Eating our way through farmers’ market bounty” which was a recent  article in the local Santa Rosa Press Democrat .

Give us a call or an email and ask for Lynn  and I will make you a deal for the weekend of the 8th and 9th of May in one of our new Nature’s Suites.

Here on the Wildside of the Wine Country on the Russian River, we’ve had some rain and everything is in bloom.   The Press Democrat just ran a story called   “Five Undiscovered Spring Hikes” .  Some of the wild Iris at the coast have begun to bloom.  In April the drive out Coleman Valley Road from Occidental to the Coast should be through beautiful hills enhanced with the blue of the blooming wild iris.  If you have never seen it before then try to get here for it this year. 

Let us know you saw this here and stay any 2 nights through this April 18th for the price of  just 1 night. 

It’s important to keep up with family and friends! Who knows when you might need a spare room for you, your spouse and the seven critters (kids, ferrets or alligators) to crash in for the next six months, a perfect kidney match or someone to borrow money from?  If you are thinking of getting a close or extended group together, Creekside Inn & Resort is becoming Reunion Central. We think it’s the combination of great location in the Redwoods and on the river, great prices and great reunion planning services through our concierge.  We have had reunion weddings, family reunions, class reunions, military reunions, girl friend reunions, guy reunions – and we are open to more. If you have people you would like to reconnect with for fun or possible ulterior motives here’s what we offer: 

•     Accommodations for up to 90 people (okay, this is using every available bed and futon and there will be some close togetherness but a good chance to get that hair strand for DNA testing

•        Great prices. For example: 
  •     Book 7 nights - the two-day weekend is free (No limitations!)
  •        Book the whole inn and depending on the time of year, we can work with you on rates (But, not June through mid-Oct.)
•     All but our inn rooms come with fully-equipped kitchens so it is easy to share expenses by cooking memorable favorites and eat communally potluck style or the famous taco truck featured in Gourmet magazine will come by and groups can order separately or all on one bill.
•     Concierge to help plan and book recreation in the area including kayaking, canoeing, horseback riding, fishing, hiking, picnicking, wine tasting, tours, caterers (licensed and Lynn approved can use our large commercial kitchen) Pee Wee golf, etc. Recreation for all ages, activity levels and interests are nearby. 
•     Inn amenities include: Swimming pool, WiFi, close to the river beach, family games, use of common area, picnic tables, BBQ grills

Some of the wineries will offer food pairings and others will have tours. The ticket price includes wine tasting at all of the participating wineries for the weekend: $40 for the whole weekend,  $30 for Sunday Only and $10 for designated drivers. Tickets are available at www.wineroad.com.  Some of the interesting offerings at the wineries are: Armida Winery on Westside Road is having their annual Tailgate Party. They will be tossing the pigskin around while firing up the grills and deep frying Willie Bird turkeys and  watching the play-off games in the tasting room. At Carol Shelton Wines in Santa Rosa they are doing a food and wine paring of smoked hangar steak from Elmo’s Steakhouse in addition to the eclectic music of Ray Garcia on acoustic guitar. DeLoach Vineyards in Santa Rosa is celebrating Russian heritage with wines paired with Chef Cyndicy Coudray’s hearty winter soup (made using ingredients from their organic garden) and Russian music. Foppiano Vineyards there will be music and “Italian soul food” prepared with their Petite Sirah. At the Graton Ridge Cellars they are having a “Wild West Saloon Days” theme including Russian River Roulette. At Korbel Champagne Cellars the chef is preparing a special champagne and food pairings for the event. Saturday visitors can enjoy a mimosa from 10:30 to 11 a.m. They are offering tours through their historic Champagne Cellars and History Museum and special discounts are available through Monday. At  Peterson Winery in Healdsburg, they are doing a live barrel making demonstration with Yann Guigan, lead cooper at Barrel Builders of St. Helena. At Suncé Winery in Santa Rosa they will be serving fresh salmon cakes atop arugula drizzled with Louie tapenade paired with their wines. There will be homemade brownies and a chance to play the Mystery Wines Contest and win prizes. This is just a few of the interesting events happening that weekend.  At Creekside, we are very much believers in the “locavore” movement:  eating a diet consisting of food harvested within a 100-mile radius. We are fortunate to have so many great food producers and restaurants that embrace using organic locally produced foods. When you come to visit, ask us for a Farm Trails map so you can explore some of these wonderful farms and restaurants.
