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.

What a gorgeous house with spectacular views. Celebrated my 40th with 7 girlfriends and it was absolutely perfect. Communicating with the owner and property manager was easy and they got back to you in a timely manner. The location was great too. Exactly everything you want and need in a rental close to Sonoma and not far from Napa. We all had a great time and was an amazing experience. Will be coming back in the future.
It is a wonderful property that was perfect for our group of 7. The property had everything we needed for an enjoyable week of wine tasting and relaxing with our friends.. The views are amazing, the home is spacious with a wonderful layout. Cavedale Road is not for the faint of heart but well worth the drive up the mountain. PJ, the property manager, was great!

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're so happy that the house was everything that you needed and that PJ was able to help you. Please come back soon!
Fabulous location perched on the mountaintop. Home is modern and clean and has everything we needed to cook and enjoy our stay. Could not have been better!
The house was phenomenal and we truly enjoyed our stay. The bedrooms all have large beds and bathrooms and are separate which provided nice privacy. The hot tub, common areas, and view were all amazing.

We’re thrilled that you enjoyed your week at Cavedale Ridge, and that the four primary suites worked well for your party. Thank you for being great guests.
Beautiful property!! Amazing views. All accommodations were as advertised and very well maintained. The alternate routing to get there right now is a significant inconvenience and not a drive for the faint of heart.I recommend the property manger meet guests at checkin to go over some of the property nuisance. We figured things out but it would have helped.Overall loved our stay. Will be back… when the road is fixed!!

Thank you for your compliments about the property. We have had strong feedback that most guests prefer not to be met on arrival by a property manager, and so that is why we leave a Quick Guide to operating all equipment, and instruction manuals in a drawer. The roadworks are well underway - we look forward to welcoming you back.
The property and all amenities were fantastic and as described. Contact with the property manager was timely, accurate and helpful. The person who set up the property for our arrival went above and beyond to accommodate our needs for our 3 year old as well as providing local area knowledge. Unfortunately the usual road from the highway to the property was closed for road work which added an additional 15-20 minutes ( guesstimate) travel time on a single lane winding mountain road.

John, we’re so glad that the property met your expectations and PJ was able to set everything up to suit your party’s needs. The road repairs are well underway, so we hope we can welcome you back at some stage.
Our group of 6 absolutely loved this property! From the spacious bedroom suites, to the spacious kitchen, to the pool and hot tub. Then, there was the firepit that was used every day. You will find so much to love!
Top notch accommodations with stunning views! Highly recommend dinner at
home by Isa and Sonoma Yoga for private class on pool deck- a perfect way to start the day!

Lovely Property
Beautiful property, we enjoyed our stay! Everything was as described and all was in good working order. Thank you!
The photos do not come near adequately showing just how special this place is. We had a group of 4 couples and the layout was perfect. While we had wine tastings scheduled daily, the highlight was returning to the house each afternoon to watch the sunset.
Perfect location and perfect house for large groups. Hope to enjoy again!
Beautiful house. Treacherous drive up. The views are spectacular. Very well-appointed home. Every amenity you could want. Perfect for a large group.

So glad that you enjoyed the property. The road is steep, and bendy and narrow in places - that’s why we highlight it in our listings - but most guests become accustomed to this quickly and recognise that the benefits of the view and tranquility are worth it.
Outstanding house with private ensuites. great balance of togetherness but with privacy of you own rooms. Drive up and down the m,ountain was intense and if afraid of heights or narrow roads yoou may want to rethink. If no fears the views and property was outstanding!

Greg, so happy you enjoyed the house and the way the accommodation is arranged.
Terrific experience all around. Everyone was sad to leave. The road to get to the house is as advertised but not bad and well worth the house and the views!

Thanks so much for your kind words, Eric, and I'm delighted you enjoyed the stay.
Perfect layout for 4 couples. Each bedroom has its own en suite bath - which was lovely. Although the driveway was long and narrow - the views were spectacular and worth it. PJ was a great property manager. Would definitely recommend this property.

We’ve worked hard to ensure that all guests in a group enjoy an equally high standard of accommodation so are happy this worked well for you. Come back soon!
I can't say enough about this beautiful home. We had 4 couples and plenty of space for all of us. The kitchen and bedrooms had everything that we could have possibly needed even with the chef that came in to cook us a meal. The views were spectacular and we really enjoyed sitting by the fire or hot tub enjoying them. I hope to be back again to enjoy more wineries.

House was incredible, well-appointed and gave you the feeling of being away from it all (and the 10 minute ride from the main highway on a one lane road makes it even more adventurous). All rooms were special and pool/spa/firepit/deck were great for al fresco dining. A couple mornings, there was fog in the valley and we were truly above it all!!!

Thank you Randy for your comments. So pleased you experienced that sense of being above the clouds - it's often foggy in the valley below us and it makes for wonderful mornings!
This property is amazing! It is well appointed, very spacious and the views are incredible.
Anything our group of 5 adults needed was at our fingertips.
The property manger was easily available to answer our questions.
We were initially nervous with the road to the house, however we very quickly adjusted and enjoyed the ride.
We highly recommend this property and want to go back again.
Thank you,
Paulette, Rick, Sharon, Nadine and Gary
Amazing trip away from the city! The drive up the hill is best during the day.. it bit scratchy at times, but that was because we have 6 people in a large SUV.. cars are no problem.
