The amazing 15’ x 45’ heated (April through October) salt water pool, with large decks, front and back, stone patio and BBQ, fabulous terraced landscaping and Wine Country gardens, create an idyllic setting for celebrating and ‘reconnecting with Mother Nature’, just above the valley’s vineyards.

You can dine ‘al Fresco’ on the decks, or ‘sip and sup’ in the formal Dining Room with fireplace (wood provided), and sliding and French doors, one at each end, opening to the outdoor decks and the splendor of nature!
With an open flowing floor plan, the Gourmet's Kitchen also ‘transitions’ to the Family Room with sleeper sofa, and the separate Media Room’s sound system provides speakers both indoors and out, so 'the hills are alive with the sound of music', if you wish it so! The Master Bedroom Suite (queen bed) has a lovely ensuite tiled bath with shower, and French doors opening to the front patio overlooking the pool, with spectacular views of the Mayacamas Mountains and the scenic valley below.
European linens, down bedding, and comfy beds throughout, in the quiet serenity of nature, allow you to ‘sleep like a baby’ and awaken refreshed and ready for a brand new day, full of relaxation, fun, and with many opportunities for magical adventures, nearby! The two Guest Bedrooms (full beds) share a hallway bathroom with vaulted ceilings, skylight, and a tub/shower combo.
