SingleThread Inn
Healdsburg, California, United States · Independent · Apex Luxury
SingleThread Inn keeps five rooms above a three-Michelin-star restaurant in downtown Healdsburg, fed by Katina Connaughton's 24-acre Dry Creek Valley farm. Kyle Connaughton's Japanese-influenced tasting, about ten courses, with Takiawase among the hyperseasonal signatures, is the reason to stay. Michelin has given the inn Three Keys, including 2025 and 2026, which puts the house in a tiny U.S. hotel cohort.

About SingleThread Inn
- SingleThread pairs a five-room inn with a three-Michelin-star restaurant fed by a 24-acre biodynamic farm five miles north in Dry Creek Valley.
- The evolving Takiawase course is a house signature of the hyperseasonal Japanese-influenced tasting menu.
History
SingleThread opened in December 2016 at 131 North Street in downtown Healdsburg, occupying a purpose-built two-story structure that architect AXIA designed to sit quietly within the town's low-rise historic fabric. The ground floor houses the restaurant; the five guest rooms of the inn occupy the floor above, connected directly to the kitchen they depend upon and the farm that feeds it.
The project was conceived by chef Kyle Connaughton and his wife Katina Connaughton as a unified expression of a single culinary philosophy. Katina manages a 24-acre supply farm in the Dry Creek Valley, roughly five miles north of town, where she grows heritage rice, lavender, vegetables, and fruit in a biodynamic system calibrated to the restaurant's calendar. The farm functions as the inn's kitchen garden on an agricultural scale, and the nightly kaiseki-influenced tasting menus at the restaurant are built entirely around what it produces in any given week, interpreted through Connaughton's years of training in Japanese culinary technique.
The inn itself is intimate almost to the point of severity: five rooms, each with Japanese-influenced furnishings, deep soaking baths, and the kind of materials — textured plaster, unfinished oak, washi paper — that ask guests to slow down rather than be entertained. Breakfast is prepared individually for each room. Guests receive the restaurant experience as part of the inn stay, threading the agricultural, culinary, and lodging experiences into something that cannot easily be unbundled.
The restaurant earned three MICHELIN stars within two years of opening and has held them continuously. SingleThread has also been listed among the World's 50 Best Restaurants. The inn was designated MICHELIN Three Keys in 2025, making it one of a tiny number of properties in the United States to carry the highest hotel rating. Within the Bay Area food world, a stay at SingleThread has become the most coveted combined dining-and-lodging experience available.
