Airport Commuter Black SUV chauffeur for the celebrated Sonoma Valley boutique inn in Glen Ellen — a Four Sisters Inn in Jack London country along Calabazas Creek, with 23 rooms and 8 ryokan-style Zen suites (granite soaking tubs, private Japanese gardens), a creekside pool, and afternoon wine, long on Conde Nast Traveler's Gold List — deepening AC's Sonoma Valley cluster.
Gaige House + Ryokan at 13540 Arnold Drive is a celebrated Sonoma Valley boutique inn in Glen Ellen, a Four Sisters Inn tucked into the oaks along Calabazas Creek in the heart of Jack London country. Built at the end of the 19th century by Albert Ebenezer Gaige, the inn has 23 thoughtfully appointed rooms blending vintage and contemporary style, including 8 ryokan-style Zen suites with granite soaking tubs and private Japanese gardens, yukata robes, and geta and zori slippers. The secluded creekside garden has an outdoor pool and hot tub, and guests enjoy complimentary breakfast, afternoon wine and cheese, and after-dinner sake. Long listed on Conde Nast Traveler's Gold List, Gaige House deepens AC's Sonoma Valley cluster — the most intimate and design-driven of the group, an Asian-inflected creekside retreat rather than a resort.

Gaige House + Ryokan is a celebrated Sonoma Valley boutique inn in Glen Ellen, a Four Sisters Inn tucked into the oaks along Calabazas Creek in the heart of Jack London country. Built at the end of the 19th century by Albert Ebenezer Gaige, it has 23 rooms including 8 ryokan-style Zen suites and has long been listed on Conde Nast Traveler's Gold List. It deepens AC's Sonoma Valley cluster alongside the larger Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and MacArthur Place and the Kenwood Inn - and it is the most intimate and design-driven of the group, an Asian-inflected creekside hideaway rather than a resort. AC chauffeurs guests from the airport to the inn and through the valley's wineries with a Black SUV waiting through the day.
The inn has 23 thoughtfully appointed rooms blending vintage and contemporary style, including 8 ryokan-style Zen suites with granite soaking tubs and private Japanese gardens, yukata robes, and geta and zori slippers for an in-suite spa experience. The secluded creekside garden has an outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, and a small spa offers massages in-room or in a garden cabana. Guests enjoy complimentary breakfast, afternoon wine-and-cheese tasting with house-baked matcha cookies, and after-dinner sake, port, and sherry. It is a quiet, romantic, walkable-to-Glen-Ellen retreat rather than a big resort - the kind of place Conde Nast Traveler has repeatedly named to its Gold List - and AC provides discreet arrivals and on-call chauffeur service for winery days and dinners.
Gaige House sits in Glen Ellen at the center of Sonoma Valley. Jack London State Historic Park - the author's Beauty Ranch, cottage, and the ruins of Wolf House - is just up the hill, and the Benziger Family Winery and its biodynamic estate tram tour is nearby. The tasting rooms of Glen Ellen and Kenwood, the Kunde and St. Francis estates, and the town of Sonoma with its historic plaza and mission are a short drive, as are the Napa Valley crossings over the Mayacamas. AC's sibling Sonoma Valley anchors - the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn, MacArthur Place, and the Kenwood Inn - are all within minutes. AC builds a Sonoma Valley winery tour from the inn, with the chauffeur handling the rural roads so guests can taste freely.
STS Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa is about 25 minutes north and is the closest, with direct flights to several Western cities and an FBO for private aircraft. For SF Bay clients, OAK Oakland is about 1 hour 10 minutes and SFO San Francisco about 1 hour 20 minutes, and AC chauffeurs the drive up through Marin and the valley. SMF Sacramento is about 1 hour 30 minutes from the east. Gaige House pairs with AC's Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn, MacArthur Place, and Kenwood Inn for a Sonoma Valley wine tour, and AC positions vehicles at STS, SFO, and OAK for Glen Ellen and the valley. 40 years California chauffeur experience.
