You and your guests will quite literally be the only ones on this 13,000 acre Vineyard & Ranch. Please read our amazing reviews on this site as well as Yelp. We host family/friend gatherings, birthday celebration weekends, weddings (under 140 guests); same-sex weddings, corporate retreats and "work in the vineyard" stays. We have 13 bedrooms and 8 full bathrooms able to accommodate up to 38 guests.

This vacation rental feels more like an Inn. Feel free to call on our friendly, professional, knowledgeable Caretaker & Butler 24/7 if you require anything at all. There is one Estate Home, one Mission style guest house and a renovated Carriage House located on a ridge overlooking the valley below. When possible, which is most of the time, we offer very early check-in's and very late check-out's.

Please review our Availability Calendar to make sure we have your dates available. Once you have rented the Main House, you have the option to rent either, or both, of the other two guest houses.

We provide most everything you may need... no need to bring anything other than food & beverages and clothing. We supply: Bath towels, Hot tub/Lake towels, all bedding and linens, Shampoo, Conditioner, bath soap, all kitchen equipment (pots/pans/utensils), plates, coffee makers, toaster, blender, paper towels, dish towels, laundry soap, dish washing soap, etc... we can send you a compete list if you would like.

Come discover and enjoy the most beautiful ranch in Northern California by taking nature walks/hikes, picnicking, vineyard tours, walk amongst hundreds of cows, swimming, outdoor games, and much more.
