We are happy you enjoyed your stay. There is something special about staying on this beautiful working ranch from waking up to the horses nearby to returning after a day of wine tasting and relaxing in the peaceful surroundings. It is the perfect escape for experiencing the wine country while still having a quiet and comfortable place to unwind. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would love to welcome you back! Haller Coastal Homes
The Ranch house was everything we like for a vacation getaway. Just the right size for 2 but could accommodate another 2 on the pullout. The property was peaceful and relaxing. Far enough from the city so you don't have any ambient noice yet close enough to stores, restaurants and vineyards. Our host Kim was amazing, quick to respond and super nice.

The property was exactly as promised online. It was clean, quiet, nicely outfitted, and very convenient to wineries and restaurants. The hosts were very nice. It was also fun to have the horses nearby. Each day, Bill would let the horses roam in the fields adjacent to the unit. We loved it and would stay there again given the chance.
