We were lucky enough to have our wedding at this stunning location in September of 2014, including…read morea three night stay on the property. The grounds are gorgeous, well kept, and somewhat whimsical. The owners (Karen and Jack) have a great eye for blending their beautiful gardens with the stunning Alexander Valley. Everyone was stunned by the beauty of the location. The property functions brilliantly as a wedding location. We had 125 guests for a ceremony, formal seated dinner, dancing, and a photobooth. There is a large area that is well hidden from the rest of the property that is perfect for catering and event prep work. Note that you have to get clever with catering, because the house kitchen is not to be used for cooking for large crowds. We used a paella caterer, which worked brilliantly. One of the secrets the property holds is the beautiful lighting that appears after dark. There is even a chandelier in a tree! We wouldn't have imagined the property could actually look even more beautiful after dark. The home itself is absolutely gorgeous, and it was such a treat to be able to have our entire immediate family together in one spot for three days. We echo the other reviews regarding the owners. Although a brilliant event space, the property is also Karen and Jack's home, and they expect you to respect it as such. So long as you understand this, everything should go smoothly. There were a couple of bumps between the owners and our wedding planner, but everything worked out in the end. Be sure to ask Karen her ideas if you take a tour. She had some creative insights on how to use the property.

A really well-kept picturesque property where any picture you take is social media ready. We picnicked with the food that they gave us. That was enough, really well packed and delicious. The beet salad/spread was my favorite - so good! We did order their pizza, fries and some additional wine glasses. Enjoyed all the additions. The staff were genuinely nice. And the ambiance was casual enough to bring both the kids and canine family members.

Her deep knowledge of Healdsburg and our venue made the entire process seamless -- she knew all the right people, asked the right questions, and anticipated details we never would have thought of. Her mastery of logistics and communication is unmatched; she was organized, responsive, and always several steps ahead. What truly sets Meghan apart is her ability to stay calm under pressure while still getting things done. She's a phenomenal problem solver who always brings thoughtful, creative solutions to tricky situations. Plus, she's funny, warm, and just the kind of person you want by your side on your wedding weekend. Thanks to her, our celebration was seamless, stunning, and full of joy. We couldn't imagine doing it without her and can't recommend her highly enough!

We stayed here while attending a wedding across the street at Dawn Ranch. So many issues affecting…read moreour satisfaction, comfort and overall experience we had. * The ceiling is half painted in one color and half painted in another. Obvious recent patching done to the ceiling. Patching was done poorly, and the paint cover up was worse (picture attached). * It was a hot day, attempted to close the blinds. 2 of 3 blinds would not close. Frustrating. Managed to get only 1 down half mast. * No battery in our smoke detector. (picture attached) * There were cups wrapped in plastic next to sink. There was a spider INSIDE of the plastic wrap. It was revolting. (picture attached) * Vanity looked new but top drawer would not open and close. The cabinet drawers were not aligned and unstable. Further, the insides of the drawers were already soiled and stained. (pictures attached) * No drawers for clothes. Where do we put our T-shirts? Underwear? Shorts? Pajamas? Lived out of suitcase. * No soap dish next to the sink. All of these, individually experienced, might have been trivial. However, collectively, they add up to an experience of being in a cheap motel. These were not the major issues. The three major issues we had were the flooring, the musty odor in the room and the dirty bathtub. * Floor was dirty. My wife took a picture of her socks after wearing them for under an hour. They were white socks and the feet were BLACK. (picture attached - this is not altered or edited in any way). * Musty smell. Like it had not been aired out in some time. * The bathtub was dirty, just unacceptable. Unfortunately, there is more but you get the picture. Caveat Emptor.
