The 124-room Fountaingrove Inn posted the following update on its website:

“In the late hours of Oct. 8, 2017, Fountaingrove Inn | The Steakhouse @ Equus fell victim to the devastating fire in Sonoma County, and guests were subsequently evacuated. At this time we are unable to conduct business in any capacity. As we have more information we will post updates.”
