Gorgeous place to relax
This property was perfect for a long weekend away with our adult children and grandchild. The house is very clean and extremely well resourced. The gardens are just gorgeous, with little pockets to enjoy as well as bigger spaces to all come together. Wayne was a terrific host, checking in a couple of times to make sure all was well.

Awesome experience
This is an amazing property both inside and out. The house is beautifully furnished on the inside but has the country charm on the outside. The gardens and outlook out to the mountains are quite something. We especially liked the fire pit which we used on a really clear night. The kitchen and living space is really big so its perfect for a family or larger group to use. Great location to local wineries as well. Highly recommend a stay at this place.
