Beautiful Location & House
Casi Cielo was absolutely beautiful! The house itself is amazing. A huge kitchen, several places to sit and relax, clean, and had all the things we needed. The patio and view were stunning! A remote location to get away and relax. Highly recommend!

Great Oregon Wine Vacation
We love this property! This was our second visit and would love to come back. The house is beautiful and the gardens in back were very nice. The house sits in the middle of a hillside winery with beautiful views. We like to cook, and the kitchen is first rate. The owner is very responsive and easy to work with.

About the host

Hosted by April Gillette

Host profile image
April and Jim purchased Casi Cielo in 2014 after selling their family’s 150 year old vineyard and farm in Stockton CA. They wanted to continue growing grapes to make great wine, but this time enjoy the complexities of the famed area of Pinot Noir in the northern Willamette Valley in Oregon, outside of Portland. The family loves to spend time at this magical property whenever they can, but offer it up as a vacation rental when they are not residing at the property.

April who is originally from Los Angeles, CA and Jim from Seattle, WA, making Forest Grove, the perfect middle ground for the both of them. They live part of their time in the Santa Ynez Valley, north of Santa Barbara, CA, and part of their time in northeast Washington State in Sequim and Port Angeles, WA on the Olympic Peninsula by the spectacular Olympic National Park and across from Victoria, Vancouver Island, BC where they also share their homes: the Duck 🦆 Pond in Port Angeles on Freshwater Bay at the Elwha River Mouth; Bond Ranch Retreat B&B in Sequim; and Mt. Pleasant Garden View Ranch Cottage in Port Angeles high up on the hills overlooking the Straits of San Juan Du Fuca, as vacation rentals when they are not there. All of these are listed on VRBO.

Both April and Jim received their degrees in Viticulture, Enology and Wine Business and love to continue their love of pairing great wine and with delicious food for a marvelous meal. The kitchen at Casi Cielo is the perfect place to prepare and serve such meals to their friends and family. We hope you enjoy doing the same as well when you stay.

Why they chose this property

This property is idea for Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Riesling, with hot days and cool nights on these south west facing slopes. The main house is amazing, high on top of the hill overlooking the valley below. The interior is open and airy, with multiple intimate spaces to gather in small groups. It is not a huge house with vast rooms, but personal in size with a great flow. It’s charming, elegant, and very comfortable and homey. The outdoor spaces one can languish in forever, and enjoy the fresh air and ever changing views all day. The Forest is a magical place for woodland creatures to go for a walk and observe. And the tasting room is right down the hill, so easy access to great wines. What more could you want ?

What makes this property unique

We offer Spectacular views of the Tualatin Valley below from your private Casi Cielo Vineyard Estate veranda. Enjoy casual walks amongst the 45 year old gnarly moss covered Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Riesling vines, or take a stroll through our private ancient forest to our natural spring, beaver damn and giant pond. If you are really quiet, you may see various wildlife along your journey. On the way back up the hill, drop by the Tualatin Estates Tasting room (Saturday and Sunday only) for a complimentary tasting of their many wines. Just tell them you are staying at Casi Cielo up at the top of hill. Or enjoy a slow toddle and the restorative power of our charming native flowering garden. If you want to just stay put, enjoy a long soak in our hot tub while overlooking the vineyards, curl up with a good book on the sofa in the sunroom, or just lounge on the covered porch and soak in the awesome valley Views with a cup of coffee, tea or a glass of great Willamette Valley wine. One could stay out there all day and never go back indoors. It’s views, birds, wildlife, clouds, sunrise, sunset, are ever changing, and always very magical. Never a dull moment. Always tranquil and relaxing. Great home to enjoy your family and friends and reconnect. The perfect “get away from it all” vacation sanctuary. Enjoy your Stay !!
