Not ideal on a cold day

FIRST: CHECK THE WEATHER REPORT before booking stay. If the weather is going to be warm and you want to spend the ENTIRE time outdoors, then this is a great spot for a family or a smaller group. The large lawn was great for outdoor activities, BBQ was perfect for cooking meals, pool and hot tub were nice amenities as well. If weather is going to be below 65, and you need to stay indoors then this is not a good spot to stay. Although advertised as sleeping 14, it should be noted that the 2 "tents" are a trek down a muddy/dirt pathway and can't even be seen from the back lawn. The airstream had a funky smell to it and I wouldn't sleep in there. The main cottage has a small living space with seating for 4 comfortably along with a miniature TV with limited channels. The 2 bedrooms are equally small in size and very cold due to poor heating in the cottage overall. I slept with towels over the sheet all night. We had a larger group and figured since it says it sleeps 14, we'd be good. But after assessing the actually situation almost all drove back home at the end of the night. That being said, only stay here when the sun is out and shining, otherwise you are going to be cold, cramped, and overall uncomfortable.

Hi Lisa! Wow! What a success! The wedding went so well! It was beautiful and we got so many comments on how awesome the place was. It was the best wedding I've ever attended :) and everyone who stayed there was so pleased and happy and felt like they were at home.Thank you so much for having us. It was definitely the best choice we could have made. Also, thank you for the thoughtful gifts and card you left for us :) That was really sweet of you and your husband. Anyway, thanks again for everything. Matteo and I could not have asked for anything more! We will definitely keep in touch because our family said they wanted to rent the place again for family get togethers.Until then, Love always,Matteo and Veronica Bridges :)

"We spent a great weekend here and everyone enjoyed the accomodations and beautiful surroundings. The cabins were great and so cozy and comfortable. The pictures don't really do the property justice. Much nicer and more expansive feeling. The lawn and pool were great." - Lorraine A, SF, 06/07/2009

We had a wonderful time at your house. Location was great, the pool and general setting was lovely. Everyone seemed to enjoy their mattresses - a rare occurance with a rental house! I definitely got attached to the house.

This was an ideal location to celebrate my partner's birthday with 11 of our good friends. The pool was awesome and the property is spacious, well kept and very relaxing. I would definitely return here.

I'm not even sure that the images due the property justice. I brought 9 friends up for a wine tasting weekend and we were blown away by the property. We cooked in the huge kitchen both nights and sat out by the pool at sunset. Truly magnificent. I would highly suggest this property for weekends with friends since you can fit so many people. And might I add, the pool is HUGE. I will definitely rent here again!

We had the best time at this wonderful slice of heaven. The pool is amazing and refreshing. The house is cute and cozy and the tents are out of this world. It is like staying in your own personal camp but so close to wineries, food and festivities. Not that you ever want to leave the property once you get there.
