Outrageous VIEWS - 5mi from Calistoga. Hot Tub, Plunge Pool, Game Room, Firepits

Our preferred short-term rental platform is the other major booking platform. We will cautiously accept reservations for this property through VRBO due to a technical error on their platform that was not satisfactorily resolved.

For stays, please look for our property on the other short-term rental platform to book with us.

We look forward to hosting you! Escape to our beautiful, secluded **10+ acre ridge property just 5 miles from the city of Calistoga**, with sweeping mountain views in every direction.

Our location sits at the crossroads of **northern Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley and Healdsburg/Alexander Valley**, making it easy to explore several wine regions without long drives. Enjoy nearby wineries, restaurants, spas, hiking and the Calistoga Vine Trail, then come home to your private hot tub, plunge pool, fire pits, bocce court and renovated barn/game room.

**Please note for trip planning:** The cities of Napa and Sonoma are each about a 50-minute drive away. We recommend exploring northern Napa and Sonoma Valleys, where there are many wonderful wineries much closer to the property. We’re happy to make recommendations!

## LOCATION + THINGS TO DO

**Calistoga is only 5 miles away**, with wineries, restaurants, spas, shops and the Vine Trail. Bikes can be rented in town.

Kenwood/Sonoma Valley and Healdsburg/Alexander Valley are also within easy driving distance, giving you access to several of Northern California’s best-known wine regions.

Nearby hiking includes **Oat Hill Mine Trail, Trione-Annadel State Park, Spring Lake and the Petrified Forest.**

**Please note:** Due to the property's steep ridge terrain, there are **no walking or hiking trails on the property itself**. Guests must remain on our property and the shared private road. **Surrounding land, fields, yards and driveways are privately owned and are not available for guest access, walking or exploring.**

## COUNTRY SETTING

This is a secluded rural property surrounded by nature and neighboring farm animals. A small working farm is located next door. **Please do not approach, pet, feed or disturb the animals.**

The farm has a **working livestock guardian dog** that protects its animals from foxes and other wildlife. Depending on the time of year and activity in the area, you may occasionally hear the dog barking, including at night. Closing the windows keeps outside sounds to a minimum—the home's **double-paned windows do a very good job of reducing noise**, and fans are provided in each bedroom for additional white noise.

## IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

- **Well + Septic:** The house has safe, drinkable well water with a slightly earthy taste. A Brita filter is provided, and guests may prefer to bring bottled water. We are also on septic, so **only toilet paper may be flushed** and we ask guests to conserve water.

- **Road + Terrain:** The property is located on a steep ridge and may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. The area surrounding the house is primarily gravel. Children should not be left unattended outside. Our private access road is rural, narrow and uneven, with some potholes and ongoing erosion repairs. Guests should drive slowly, remain on the asphalt and avoid pulling onto the road shoulders.

- **No Pets:** Pets are not permitted. The owners' pets are occasionally on the property, so the home may not be appropriate for guests with animal allergies.

- **Service Providers:** Our regular pool/hot tub technician, gardener and pest-control technician may access **outdoor areas only** during your stay. Because of our remote location, exact service times can vary. Vendors are instructed not to enter the house or barn.

- **Uber/Lyft:** Rideshare service can be unreliable at our location. For wine tasting, most guests prefer a designated-driver service rather than relying on Uber/Lyft between wineries.

## TWO HELPFUL TIPS

**GROCERIES:** Most guests arrive from the south via Hwy 101. You'll pass Costco in Santa Rosa and a Safeway on Calistoga Road approximately 6 miles before reaching the house. We recommend picking up groceries before arrival.

**WINE TASTING:** Consider arranging a designated driver in advance. This is especially convenient when visiting several wineries and purchasing wine along the way.

## HOT TUB + PLUNGE POOL SAFETY

The plunge pool is **not heated**. There is no lifeguard on duty, and use of the hot tub and plunge pool is **at your own risk**.

For everyone's safety:

- Children under 14 must be directly supervised by an adult.
- No diving, running, rough play or glass containers.
- Do not use the pool or hot tub while under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medications that cause drowsiness.
- Guests with heart conditions, high blood pressure, pregnancy or other medical concerns should consult a doctor before hot-tub use.
- Limit hot-tub soaking to **15–20 minutes**.
- Do not use during lightning storms or if the water appears unsafe.
- Replace pool and hot-tub covers after use.

By booking and using these amenities, guests acknowledge and voluntarily assume the risks associated with their use. The host/property owner is not responsible for accidents, injuries or illness resulting from their use.
