We took our college boys and their friends for their first wine tasting experience. Martinelli winery is just down the road from this amazing property. Everything was perfect! Besides the beautiful house and pool, you awaken to the best view of the valley.

This vineyard was absolutely gorgeous. The house is in the middle of farm where other workers stay. We had our 2 families stay here with 4 adults and 4 kids. The kids loved the pool/hot tub and lounging outside/inside. The house was well stocked so that we wouldn't need much but food which we were super grateful for since we were only there for 1 week and wished more properties did this (such as TP, paper towels, bandaids, laundry detergent, etc). The house had plenty or rooms and an office to work. The beds were large and with 3 of us being over 6 feet this was extremely enjoyable. Heather and Kurt were extremely responsive and gave us warnings when crews were around. I loved that this was a working vineyard since I wake up with the kids at 6 and would hear the him of some tractors by 6:30. If you are sensitive to early morning noises, be warned that this is not going to be a location where you can sleep in. I loved it but we had 1 who didn't. We did order their charcuterie board so that upon arrival we wouldn't be hungry which was extremely helpful. Overall we had a great experience and would just mention that we had to sign an additional contract which wasn't mentioned in the description. Also not a big deal except that there was language on showing the property while we were there that we asked to have taken out and Kurt happily did. We just don't believe in showing a property when you are paying to vacation there and wanted our privacy.

The place was lovely, spacious and full of high quality details. The pool with the view of the vineyard was amazing, the downstairs living space open, lightfilled and spacious and the beds were high quality and comfortable. We all had a great time and I highly recommend this lovely place. It was worth the price for sure. It was a short drive to Johnson Beach and Healdsburg both. Made for a wonderful end of summer holiday.

The check in was awesome, management was fantastic and super responsive. It's a working ranch but still felt very private. The house was awesome and we had a really good time.
