This place was in an absolutely idyllic setting. There were vineyards and baby goats and sheep, just off the back of the property and waking up to open the back curtains and see the view of the mountains and the vineyards was just perfection. Mike at the front desk was super helpful. The amenities were all in good working order. I would go back there for a week or two every single year if I could

Beautiful views of a vineyard from the upstairs bedroom. Nice patio for enjoying a glass of wine. Kitchen was well equipped if you want to cook dinner. Nice to have laundry room, including an electric clothes dryer. Everything was clean and functional.

This is a beautiful venue sitting next to a picturesque vineyard. The unit had a full living room, dining room, kitchen and bath on the lower level with 2 large bedrooms on the upper level, with a deck and a large bathroom with a jet tub. There was a washer and dryer in the garage.
Off the living room was a beautiful private yard with a dining table with umbrella and chairs. The property has a solar heated pool and a tennis court. We enjoyed staying here and would come back again

Talk about Customer Service!
I want to give this hotel amazing accolades for their service. There was a mix up with a unit being sold and our reservation not being available any longer. Now I know what you're thinking, wait how are you going to give them accolades without a stay. YOU GUYS- this was the best service ever, and I come from customer service background so I am always on the problem solving bus. So we show up, the manager is so so nice and tells us what happened, and says BUT I have a place for you to stay, it's right down the street, super close (it was!) and it's same level as you booked (2 bedroom, and it was!) and I'm so so sorry for the inconvenience. He then paid for our dinner and gave us a bottle of champagne for the inconvenience. I was actually so shocked, I didn't even know how to respond. He had solved the problem, with a great solution, and then went above and beyond to make it right. The place we stayed was AMAZING, the host met us outside, had the best chocolates ever as a treat for us and honestly, I will never forget how above and beyone they went for us. This would never happen in most places. Thank you for all you did, we will always speak so highly of you! I will say- location for this hotel even though we did not stay is AMAZING for wine tasting. And a couple of the vineyards even said oh it's really nice there! Anyway- thank you so much!
