Private Country Home with Pool in Napa/San Francisco Bay Area

Year Purchased: 1962

Why the Owner Chose American Canyon

This vacation rental was not purchased as a vacation rental, it's a ranch. My family bought the ranch in 1962. Cattle graze on the acres, horses are raised and a sophisticated country life is enjoyed. Our location is one of the best in our area. Twenty minutes to an hours drive to destinations travelers hope to see when visiting the Northern California Napa Valley and San Francisco Bay Area.

The Unique Benefits at this House

11 miles to Napa, 25 miles to St Helena, 33 miles to San Francisco, 50 miles to Pacific Ocean, 60 miles to Sacramento...easy connections to Highways 80, 680, 12. Lake Tahoe about a 2 hour drive.

    • My husband and I along with my sister and brother-in-law stayed at this fabulous house for a long weekend. We traveled to the area to visit the Napa Valley wine country. This home was a great location and close to all of our needs. The accomodations did not lack in any area, the pool and patio were spectacular. We hope to be back soon and absolutely recommend this home as a fabulous getaway. Far superior than many other stays we have enjoyed through our years traveling across seas and through the states.

    • What a great place to stay on our first visit to California. The house was very clean and well equipped. Everything we needed and more was provided. The pool area was private and we spent several days by it just soaking up the sun and then cooling off. It was very relaxing. The location is ideal for exploring the wine country ,the coast and San Francisco. Angele,s in Napa is a must for a lunch or evening meal. We would definately recommend this house for a visit and will be telling all our friends in the UK about it. Hopefully we will be back ourselves one day . Thanks Eileen

    • My husband and I lived in this house for a year while we remodeled our home. It was truly a wonderful experience. The house is beautiful, fully furnished, has a wonderful fireplace, a wet bar with a wine refrigerator, a big screen TV and is stocked with everything you could want, even games and movies. We loved waking up looking out at the beautful pool and woods. The owners treated us like family. This was one of the best experiences we have every had.

    • Where do we begin? There was not one item we reached for that wasn't thoughtfully put at our finger tips. This property was fantastic! Lovely fruit, candy and wine basket greeted us along with fresh flowers. Gourmet kitchen, luxurious linens, pviate back patio and very comfortable couch. Perfect for relaxing with friends with a glass of wine to relive our days driving in the wine country. The location was perfect, we will definatley be back! We would very highly recommend this home! Thanks for everything.

    • My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely, updated country home. Our home was being remodeled and we needed a nice place to stay for 3 months with our dogs. My husbands business is the Jelly Belly Candy company and they also use this home to house executives that need temporary housing. The location was so convenient. Without traffic I could make it to downtown San Francisco in 35 minutes, Walnut Creek in 20 minutes, Napa in 15 minutes and Sacramento in 45 minutes. The home is private and secluded, yet their are 2 homes close by should you need local assistance. We highly recommend renting this home and will continue using it for our corporate needs. Sincerely, Maggie & Herm Rowland

    • We didn't want to leave! This quaint home has it all -- beautifully remodeled with upgraded comforts. It's the perfect home base for daily explorations of the SF Bay Area and the romantic Napa Valley. Don't be discouraged when you pull into the gated entry located off the main road and situated alongside a Dairy. We heard not a peep of noise. The house is tucked back in a beautiful wooded/creek area and perfectly private and peaceful. The occasional locomotive passes near the home, but we found it a welcome novelty rather than a nuisance. (about twice per day) It's the perfect getaway for adults only OR a small family with children.
