Felt right at home!

We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend here, a perfect location for visiting many wineries nearby.The kitchen is spacious and has everything needed- we cooked in one night. Beds are firm, cozy rooms, very quiet and peaceful location. It was cold and rainy out, so we made a fire in the fireplace both nights; it was real pretty, and with the blower it warmed up the room fast.Every step of the reservation process was excellent- both the communications, and the house guidebook. We felt welcomed, and we felt right at home. Can’t wait to visit again! Thank you!

Great Home in amazing location.

We stayed here for a wedding that was hosted nearby. Property was very clean. Everything was great and we had no issues while we stayed. Communication with property owner was also great. If you are looking for a place to stay in the area to go wine tasting, look no further.

Wonderful! Amazing! Can’t wait to return

This home is perfect for groups. Super clean and close to wineries, remote enough to feel like a getaway. Pro tip- don’t forget your essentials, we forgot coffee and had to drive ten min to a gas station in the morning ❤️❤️❤️

Great getaway in wine country

Had a wonderful stay, the house is very spacious and had everything you could need, property is secluded and many areas on outside decks to relax and enjoy the sunrise and sunsets. Close to many wineries in FairPlay. Can’t wait to book a winter trip to enjoy the fireplace!

First visit to Somerset

This was my family's first visit to the Somerset area. My cousin wedding weekend took place in Plymouth and Somerset, so this property was close to the wedding venue. It was very clean, very relaxing, exactly as advertised, and the check-in process was smooth. Would definitely stay again. In fact, I was just discussing with my dad this morning that we should stay a few days next summer as a family then venture over to Lake Tahoe. My favorite feature of the home was the screened porch...loved having coffee in the mornings and visiting in the evenings without having to worry about bug bites!

Quiet and Tranquil. Fabulous set-up for family & friends!

Gorgeous location on a beautiful property. My family and I stayed here while attending a wedding at the nearby Ranch at Stoney Creek. The location was 5 minutes away so was very convenient. Very quiet and tranquil. Nice to escape back to after busy wedding festivities. Would recommend!

Weekend Retreat

We stayed at this property with our in-laws and two kids (ages 3 and 1). The house is immaculate and had everything we needed. It was so peaceful and we loved sitting on the back porch with a glass of wine watching the kids run back and forth pretending to make sandwiches with the cornhole bags. There were lots of places to explore around the property and even had enough space to fly a kite in the yard. Tons of wineries close by to choose from! Communication with Susan was prompt and friendly. An easy yes to come back!

Recharged!

My family stayed here for Christmas vacation. We have adult & teenage children and we all loved our stay. The house is beyond expectations! The house had horseshoe, cornhole, pool, pong pong, and a bunch of board games. We played it all and had a blast! We also took a 40 min drive for a day of fun in the snow. We enjoyed the warm & relaxing fire place and watched late night scary movies. The views and smells of the outdoors were really beautiful.

Fantastic for families

This is a stunning home perfect for families, especially with grown children and their partners. We stayed for a wedding at one of the nearby vineyards but would consider it again for a relaxing weekend of wine tasting. Large kitchen for a few chefs to whip up dinner, a pool table for a few more to play, large patio with great views and comfy chairs if reading with your morning cup of coffee is your thing. With 4 bedrooms, everyone can also have their privacy. The master suite is like a spa vacation! Chris and Susan were very responsive and extremely helpful. Overall a fantastic experience from start to finish.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Thompson

Host profile image
I'm a builder by occupation. This was my 3rd house that I built for myself. We love the Sierra Foothills and it's access to the high country for skiing in the winter and for the cool swimming holes in the summer. We are so lucky to be close to the really great wineries of Fairplay.

Why they chose this property

This property is the ideal getaway for 4 couples looking to explore the over 30+ wineries of Fairplay. The house is set up for entertaining. Whether it's relaxing out on the wrap around deck or sitting around at the huge island in the entertainment kitchen. It's also a great home for families with kids. There's ping-pong, horse-shoes, corn-hole, a tree house and a private 7-acre pond across the street from the property that's loaded with fish to catch.

What makes this property unique

Fantastic sunsets from the 2nd level deck. Walking distance to wineries.
