Need a solo getaway
I’m in desperate need of a few days away by myself and would love to hear recommendations. I can’t spend a ton of money but don’t need anything fancy. I hope not to drive more than a few hours from the East Bay, I’m looking for a beautiful place with a comfortable bed and healthy whole food available. Bonus if there’s a spa or yoga or anything else to help me relax. Thanks in advance!

Orr Hot Springs - My go-to place for relaxing.
here's a couple suggestions:
https://www.mountmadonna.org/programs-retreats/personal-retreats
https://vajrapani.org/private-retreats/
Mount Madonna has yoga classes and a wellness center which offers massages, etc.
Vajrapani is more "create your own adventure", with beautiful silent private cabins set in nature and yummy food delivered.
I've gone to both and can highly recommend them.
Hope you find the peace and relaxation you seek.
Highly recommend Calistoga. There are a variety of hotels at varying price points that have the hot/warm mineral pools. The most affordable one I've stayed at is Calistoga Spa Hot Springs. They don't have food onsite tho. There are many great and healthy restaurants in town and the hotel has small kitchens so you could cook if desired (there is a good grocery store in town). Slightly more expensive is Dr Wilkinsons which has had a lovely makeover and a very healthy restaurant on site (along with a spa). Indian Springs is the best but $$$. Calistoga feels quite safe and I have no qualms when I'm walking around by myself. Easy drive too!
