There are wine country rentals, and then there is Ross Ranch. Set on more than 20 private acres in the picturesque Knights Valley just north of Calistoga, this working ranch and vineyard property offers something genuinely rare — an immersive farm stay experience wrapped in the kind of thoughtful luxury that has earned it a perfect five-star rating across dozens of stays.
Two meticulously remodeled farmhouses — Casa 1 and Casa 2 — sit among lush Cabernet vines with sweeping, unobstructed views of Mount Saint Helena. Each casa has been designed with contemporary furnishings, modern art, and warm, inviting interiors that feel at once stylish and deeply comfortable. Together they accommodate up to 12 guests, with each home offering its own private outdoor space and a sense of independence within the larger ranch setting.
The shared amenities are where Ross Ranch truly distinguishes itself. Two sparkling pools — including a private container pool at Casa 2 — offer different moods for different moments. The party barn is the social heart of the property: a fully equipped entertainment space perfect for group gatherings, celebrations, and long evenings with people you love. A standalone private gym with two Peloton bikes, free weights, a rowing machine, and a smart TV means your routine need not pause for wine country.
The ranch itself is alive in a way that makes every morning feel like an event. Fresh eggs from resident chickens, vegetables and herbs from the garden, peacocks, horses, cows, and the unhurried rhythm of a working vineyard — this is a setting that pulls guests away from their screens and into something far more memorable. Private wine tastings featuring the ranch's own label, and farm-to-table catering and chef dinners, can be arranged to complete the experience.
A new pickleball court, property bikes for exploring the 20-plus acres, and two gated coded entrances for complete privacy round out an offering that is as practical as it is exceptional.
Just minutes from Calistoga's restaurants, spas, and world-class tasting rooms, Ross Ranch delivers total seclusion without isolation — and an authenticity that no purpose-built luxury estate can manufacture.

The property is lovely and the owners are very nice. I did not realize that the Casas were so far apart nor that the pool was unheated and so far from the Casas. It wasn't really conducive for a group that like to spend lots of time together because of the distance between the buildings. It would be great for a small wedding venue.
We just spent a few days at Ross Ranch over the 4th of July weekend, and it was exactly what we were hoping for. Secluded, private, and so peaceful. A perfect getaway from the crowds. The property is exactly as described, if not better.We absolutely loved having the two separate houses. It gave everyone their own space when they needed it, but we always came together for pool time, pickleball, and meals. My boys especially loved having the gym to use. It kept them busy and happy!We had such a wonderful time just relaxing and really connecting with our friends and family. It’s one of those places where you can truly slow down and enjoy each other’s company.Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a beautiful, quiet spot to unwind. We absolutely loved our time at Ross Ranch and would stay again in a heartbeat.
