The property was being remodeled. I got there and was told, after calling the owner a couple of times before getting a return call, that the reservation was made in error. It was a busy holiday weekend. I had to find another place to stay which I did but it was farther from where I wanted to be and with no view or ambience at a higher rate.

This was an awful experience for me and my children!!! Upon arrival we were told we needed to leave and it was a scam. The current owners said they have had a few people show up unexpectedly. They said this place is no longer a bed and breakfast, and it is their home. I only talked to one person on the phone that said we were at the wrong place. He also said the water at the place was not working, so he was going to find a place to relocate us! This is all just crazy. I spoke with someone online from Expedia after that. This place needs to be off your listings!

Arrived several hours after check-in only to find a horrible smell in the room. Previous guests had left old food and melted ice cream in mini fridge. Couldn't unpack until sometime cleaned up. Finally made it to the poolbut haff ro wait for 2 guys ro finish cleaning it. Owner made us aware of a party to take place on property, but we wouldn't hear anything. Woke up to a party in the house @2am outside our door. Owner did not answer phone till 3am when he ended the party. One thing after another! We left next morning and owner prednisone a complete refund. This was 2 months ago and after 10 phone calls and many promises, we have not received a refund!

The location of this property is good near a vineyard with good views of the valley and vineyard but it stops there. The room had no privacy with a shower facing 2 large windows with a walkway adjacent outside and curtains that would not close. The water pressure was so bad that the bathroom was difficult to use. Bed and furniture was very old and on their last leg.

It is a beautiful mansion on the hill that you can visit, the owner will be your host and your stay will be surrounded by grapes and wine.

We enjoyed the large rooms and full beds that we were able to use for our family. Very nice location and Milton the host was very nice. The only issue we had was figuring out how to actually get to the property. Google maps led us to a gate that no one would answer. After calling and talking to the host we figured that out. I would recommend some kind of sign to the location to avoid this and talk to Milton before driving there.

Very disappointing stay. Dirty property, was booked for a 6 person room that wasn't ready upon arrival...I'm pretty sure the owner just went in and made the bed and didn't clean anything else. To make things worse, the room didn't sleep 6! We were given a closet for other guests to sleep in with a wall that overlooked another guests living quarters. So bizarre, would not recommend.

Not the Bed and Breakfast experience I wanted or paid for. My room was given to another guest. I paid for that particular room and, meals, and welcome drinks. We got none of the above. The house is beautiful and we did enjoy the pool and jacuzzi by ourselves for awhile. Poor water pressure and raw meat left on stove most of the day. There are neat restaurants to eat at in Old California Restaurant Row and the Winery across the road was great. The host needs to follow through with what the guests paid for.

Stayed here to attend a wedding in a venue less than 1 mile away. We loved the place and will likely return for a weekend trip. The host was very attentive and friendly; the room (the master bedroom) was huge and had a jacuzzi. Breakfast was delicious and snacks, water and drinks were included. Highly recommend staying at this place.

It is someone’s house which needs to be a lot better kept, it dirty inside the room. No towels or toilet paper, the heater they brought us because it was cold was an air purifier not a heater. Tv didn’t work there was one channel.

The description of the room I booked was "Entire first floor. Two king size beds. What I got was a room with a queen size bed & a cot that was shorter than my son, who had to sleep on it. The door HAD NO LOCK! We only stayed the first night because it was dark & raining and we had nowhere else to go. I have photos of the kitchen, which was filthy. We had booked 2 nights, but checked out after the first night. Orbitz refused to credit my payment.

Although the room was cancelled, Mr Milton was helpful to get another room close by.
I would love to stay at his bed and breakfast when my wife and I are in town.
Mr. Milton is a class-act & and I thank him wholeheartedly.

The house is gorgeous. The area of town is gorgeous. The vineyard in close proximity is beautiful. It has such potential, but I was disappointed in the care of the house. Maybe it's just not really family oriented. It started the day prior, I received a call that there was an issue and that for our first day we'd be moved to the upper floor, a smaller room. I really didn't mind, as long as we could all sleep. Once we arrived, which was late in the afternoon after check-in time, we were asked to go to the vineyard and have a few drinks so the room could be finished. After about an hour I called back and he asked us to head over in 15 minutes. When we got there, the house was beautiful, but the kitchen was messy, there was a ton of glass by the pool, and the spa wasn't full with water or running. The manager stated that the dishwasher was broken, hence the ton of dirty dishes. We were shown our smaller one king bed bedroom. I had reserved the full floor with 2 king beds. I have a family of 5 and one King was not good enough. He gave us a cot for my oldest child, but I had to sleep at the foot of the bed so my kids could sleep with my wife. I have one requirement when I travel., good coffee in the morning. The manager was supposed to have breakfast he said by 8, although the reservation said by 8:30. We left at 8:20 and hadn't seen the manager yet. There was coffee, but no clean cups to drink from. We ran out of toilet paper and asked the manager for some, it was a few hours before we received any. I had to grab some from the common bathroom. I couldn't adjust the water temperature in the shower. It was too hot for the kids. The second head in there didn't work. Then no breakfast the second day was my breaking point. We were traveling to LEGOland with the family and had to leave by 8:30. We cut ourselves some fruit and did have some coffee. My guess is there was a huge party the day before we arrived and the manager was probably hung over and just having a rough weekend. I was very disappointed and upset about no breakfast and being charged 2 rooms when I get one. Maybe they should just call this "Bed" and skip the "& Breakfast". My guess is if you wanna party and wake up late, this place is perfect. It was not perfect for my family.

DO NOT GO to Sunshine Mountain!! Milton, the owner is a dishonest businessman. We paid in advanced for our stay. We showed up and Milton greeted us with these words, "We have a problem" He said he had been overbooked and would need all the rooms for an incoming party of 5. We could stay one night of our two night reservation but would have to leave in the morning. He said he could give us a refund. He said it would take 7-10 days for the refund. We choose to take the refund and find other accommodations. This was on July 2nd!! It is now August 18 and no refund. I have contacted Hotels.com three times via phone. They have called Milton. The first two times he said the refund was processing. The third time, he didn't answer the phone. I emailed the billing department at Hotets.com as directed by the agent on Aug 5, and have not received any response and still no refund. We paid $407 to stand in his living room! SAVE YOURSELF!! DO NOT BOOK ON HOTELS.COM AND DO NOT STAY AT SUNSHINE MOUNTAIN WINERY! I am very disappointed with Hotels.com for not standing up for their customers and not vetting the venues that book through their website.

Didn’t meet as mention in reservation.
Dirty and no air conditioning ( air conditioning room in reservation).
Only one bathroom instead of two bathrooms as mentioned in reservation.
No responsible person to be contacted.
Tried to reach the person by calling phone number as in reservation multiple times but no answer.
I don’t recommend to stay there.

One person can't do it all and I think the owner is trying to bite off more than one can chew. He is pleasant and friendly and let us taste his wine out of the kindness of his heart, but the place is lacking cleanliness and does not meet the minimum standards for a bed and breakfast/hotel. He needs to put locks on the doors and guests should have keys to their rooms. Install blinds or dark curtains on the windows for privacy not sheer/see through curtains with no blinds. And make sure that all the amenities in the rooms work properly so they can be of good use to the guests (shower, drawers, toilet, shower heads etc). Breakfast (bread, fruits, coffee, etc) should be fresh and edible. Kitchen needs to be cleaned on a daily basis and don't let the dirty dishes stack up in the sink. To the owner- you really have to think about how unsanitary your practices are. This is NOT OK when you have different people coming in and out of your place. The bedrooms and the house need through cleaning daily! and every time a guest checks out meaning not only changing the bed linens and be done. Also, it is definitely NOT OK to move a guest out of their room and leave their belonging in the hallway where everyone walks by and not have the other promised room ready for them yet. We waited for a while! That should've never happened! This place is NOT ready to host people.
