We had a great time at "the ranch," as my family is now calling it! The kids loved seeing all of the animals - including horses! The porch and outdoor fireplace were the perfect place for us to spend the evenings together and absolutely the highlight of the property.

The Lodge and Cabin were situated on a beautiful property with easy access to wineries, shopping and restaurants. The kitchen and amenities were perfect for our extended family gathering and we spent every evening sitting by the fireplace and taking in many gorgeous sunsets.

I think the best part about the lodge and cabin was the location and view with great outside seating. The main room was great for a group to gather and we enjoyed the privacy & rustic interior.

Beautiful spot but a bit disappointing. The studio cabin was unusable because there was a strong moldy smell. A lot of details were overlooked, especially in terms of cleanliness. There were dirty dishes in the cabinets, hairs in the bathtub, etc. There was a closet door that didn’t work, lots of dings in walls. The host never responded to five attempts to communicate via voice mail, email, and text. Nonetheless, the setting is really unique. It’s gorgeous, very private and quiet. The view out the living room window is lovely.

Family get together

We booked this house to allow us to meet in a central location with relatively few distractions. We found plenty to do in the nearby villages and enjoyed cooking and hanging out in the house. We brought bocce and had a great time playing in the gravel at one end of the house. We would be happy to stay here again.
