About this property
As featured on CBS's Staycation! Luxury Retreat Overlooking Sonoma Valley
Enjoy breathtaking wine country views and spectacular sunsets from Cavedale Ridge, a peaceful hillside retreat. On the vast Pool Deck off the Chef's Kitchen, swim, lounge, grill, dine, and relax in the spa. And then in the evenings, star-gaze around the Fire Pit.
All four Primary Suites offer similar standards of accommodation: space, privacy, comfort and modern bathrooms. This makes Cavedale Ridge ideal for four couples, groups of adults, or extended family gatherings.
Choose from different places for dining – perhaps lunch under the olive trees, then cocktails or dinner watching the spectacular sunsets from the Pool Deck, Covered Porch or Indoor Dining area.
Cavedale Ridge overlooks Sonoma Valley with the wineries and restaurants of historic Sonoma, Glen Ellen and Kenwood only a 20 minute drive away. Napa Valley is a 45 minute drive over the mountain.
YEAR ROUND VACATION
Cavedale Ridge is idyllic at any time of year. In the Summer, the Pool (heated from Memorial Day weekend through September), Spa (year-round) and Deck are the focus of activity. During Spring and Fall, the folding doors between the Kitchen and Pool Deck create an Indoor/Outdoor Living space that you can flex according to the weather. They also give instant access to the Spa and Firepit. Even in the Winter, the light-filled interiors with panoramic views make this an uplifting and warm retreat. At night, year-round, the Firepit comes into its own. There are three internet-enabled TVs and Starlink wifi with speeds of over 60Mbps.
LAYOUT
Main House:
● Entrance Level: Chef’s Kitchen, Open-plan Dining and Living Room leading onto the Pool Deck; and Garden Suite (a Primary Suite that can be made up as a King or as Twins).
● 2nd Floor: Sky Suite (Primary with King).
Guest House reached via external steps:
● Guest House Suite (Primary with King) and own Living space and Wet Bar.
Across Covered Porch from Guest House:
● Sunset Suite (Primary with King)
● Office
The Guest House, Sunset Suite and Office share a large Covered Porch with valley views.
A/C AND HEATING
The Main House enjoys under-floor heating throughout, with in-room air-conditioning in the bedrooms only. In the Guest House there is central air-conditioning and heating. The Sunset Suite and office have underfloor heating and air-conditioning.
WINE-TASTING, YOGA AND MASSAGE
We can recommend local private chefs, drivers, wine tour drivers and visiting yoga, reiki and massage services.
NEED TO KNOW
There are security cameras covering the parking area.
This is a rural location with a steep, narrow and windy access road. Particularly nervous drivers are discouraged. No parties are allowed on the property but guests are rewarded with serenity, luxury and a real escape!
Garden service is every other week and pool service is weekly. Neither require access indoors so should not affect guests.
NEARBY AIRPORTS
The closest airport is Santa Rosa (STS), about 45 minutes' drive away with nonstop service from several airports in the LA area plus Phoenix, Dallas, San Diego, Portland, Seattle and Las Vegas. Other airports within 2 hours are San Francisco (SFO), Oakland (OAK) and Sacramento (SMF).
