The Glen Ellen Inn is seven 'secret cottages' tucked along Calabazas Creek behind the village's Glen Ellen Inn Grill & Martini Bar. Each freestanding cottage has a private entrance, fireplace, and soaking tub, with creekside settings that favor quiet over hotel polish. The on-site martini bar is a local destination, and Jack London State Historic Park sits steps away. Pet-friendly.
Seven 'secret cottages' along Calabazas Creek behind a beloved martini bar.
The Glen Ellen Inn is a discreet Sonoma Valley find — seven 'secret cottages' tucked behind the iconic Glen Ellen Inn Grill & Martini Bar, set along Calabazas Creek in the heart of Glen Ellen village. Each freestanding cottage has its own private entrance and outdoor space, with interiors that balance bohemian-style design with contemporary comforts: fireplaces, soaking tubs, plush linens, and creekside settings that emphasize quiet over hotel-style polish. The property feels closer to a private hideaway than a commercial inn.
The on-site Glen Ellen Inn Grill & Martini Bar is a beloved local destination in its own right — known for hand-crafted martinis, seasonal small plates, and a relaxed convivial atmosphere where the line between guest and local blurs comfortably. The cottages give guests easy access to the restaurant while preserving the privacy and intimacy of separate accommodations. Glen Ellen's small downtown — with its tasting rooms, Jack London State Historic Park, and Benziger Family Winery — is steps away.
Chris Bertrand co-owns Glen Ellen Inn with his wife Karen — a partnership that began in 1993 when they bought what was then an eight-table restaurant and turned it into the cottage retreat and martini bar it is today. A Sonoma Valley High School graduate who started washing dishes at Mary's Pizza Shack, he's the longest-tenured restaurateur-hotelier in Glen Ellen.
Karen Bertrand co-owns Glen Ellen Inn with her husband Chris, having bought the property together in 1993. She runs the front-of-house spirit that defines the Inn's Secret Cottages and martini bar — the welcoming, attentive service style that's kept the property a Glen Ellen fixture across thirty years and a rotating cast of nearby restaurants.
