The property is gorgeous, clean, kitchen is updated and a big group can be entertained, we had a chef come over and cook for the group and it was fantastic…Beds are comfortable, rooms are big and clean, water was the only issue… the pressure in the bathrooms was low and temperature impossible to adjust, but overall great pleasant experience, very private and intimate for having a large group of friends.

Amazing Property

We had such a great time at Gary's property. There was a big group of us coming in from all over the U.S. and Gary's property was able to accommodate all of us. In a very good location for visiting wineries. Has everything you could think of from washer/dryer, two ovens, grill, hot tub, pots, pans, plates. I would highly recommend staying here. Gary is very quick to answer. The main road was closed for construction our last day, but Gary was on top of it and helped us with an alternate route.

Wine country getaway

Gary's massive inn was an excellent place to welcome family and friends for my wife's 40th birthday party. There is plenty of room for large groups to be able to move around the property. The house has great amenities and an interesting history behind it. There are also nice areas to stroll around the vineyard as well. We took advantage of the firepit in the backyard at night as well. It was a great experience.

Beautiful property that feels like part of living history

The largest and most beautiful place we have ever stayed at on VRBO. The surroundings were peaceful and picturesque. Our family loved walking along the grape vines and siting near the river. Staying there during the holidays we the Christmas tree and outside lighting felt like an extra treat. Everything was as described. The owner was extremely welcoming and communication was easy and efficient.

Perfect for our group!

The house is perfectly set up for large groups. All bedrooms are separated and give a sense of privacy, especially on the first floor. Hotel-quality toiletries were provided. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook and serve a large group. The house was immaculate and the grounds were beautiful. Gary was a responsive host. He answered requests and questions almost immediately. Located about 40min from Napa- well located for wine tasting!

Fantastic stay for a weekend

We had a large group of 13 for a weekend reunion and had a wonderful time at the estate. It was great to have so many bedrooms and bathrooms so couples could have their own space while being able to enjoy the large communal areas and huge outdoor space. We also used the estate as our home base for a wine tour and found it super easy and actually very close to wineries in Napa. Gary was an exceptional host and was able to help with any questions our group had and helped us find equipment in the well-stocked home. We would definitely stay here again.

A little slice of heaven.

I found this gorgeous place that overlooks a vineyard for my wife’s surprise 40th birthday celebration. What a find! There were 16 adults and we had an amazing stay. The house and grounds were perfect. After some wine tasting we all had tons of space to relax and have dinner and slip off to sleep in amazing rooms with the most comfortable linens. I highly recommend this place. The owner Gary was great to help us if there was anything we needed. Can’t say enough about this place. Thanks Gary.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Bacon

Host profile image
Gary built one of the most successful corporate housing companies on the East Coast which was sold to Equity Residential in 2001. He retired a year later and began the first of many expeditions to six continents. Ying was a national tour director in China where the two met in 2002. Gary and Ying were married in 2008 and settled in Fairfield, California where they operate summer camps for Chinese youth through the American Chinese Cultural Exchange Service.

Why they chose this property

The inn was built in 2004 as the principal residence at Monroe Ranch which had been in the owner's family since 1860. A lifelong devotee of George Washington, the residence resembles Mt. Vernon, Washington's estate in Virginia. The home had been used for weekend retreats by the family whose principal residence was south of San Francisco. With eight bedrooms and seven baths, the home was easily convertible into an inn.

What makes this property unique

The property has a unique history including the fact that it was once the site of 'Big Camp' a 1000-strong Chinese settlement along the banks of Suisun Creek where railroad-weary workers lived and farmed the land for area ranchers. The property is surrounded by vineyards and farmland. Fifty-eight magnolia trees and a single remaining 100-year old pear tree line the quarter-mile entryway to the inn. Over forty variety of birds enjoy fruit from our trees during the day and at night scores of constellations are easily identified.

During COVID, the grounds became a popular outdoor event venue. In 2023 we decided to build an Event Barn to host weddings year-round. The barn was completed in May 2025 and is now our principal business.
