Absolutely incredible home and property. It is one of the most stunning places I have stayed, and I travel very often. The view is unparalleled, the house 5x as good as the pictures, and the service perfect. Host was very easy to get in touch with, checked in often and accommodated all requests. Highly recommend hiring Ezmeralda and Chef Alex both for stocking the house and a private dinner. I recommend only one trip up and down the mountain a day - itâs a curvy sometimes a touch steep drive - plus you will want to spend more time at the house than you think. The view and house is more than worth the drive. Hire a driver if wine tasting. Most vineyards in st Helena are about 30 min away depending on how fast you drive. Very doable, just plan accordingly. Our favorite things at the house were watching the sunset either in the spa or pool, or over the fire pit. Also hiking the trails by the house and spotting some deer and other wildlife. House exceeded all expectations- had everything you could ever need or want!
This house was amazing! The views are indescribable! The accommodations are fantastic. Great comfortable rooms/beds. Bathrooms in all rooms. Kitchen has everything you may need and more! Had a great stay.
This is an awesome property. It is beautiful and very functional for a large group. It is actually prettier than the VRBO photos.We loved the grass courtyard, fabulous pool and incredible views. Chef Andre Carde of St. Helena prepared a one of a kind dinner for us, accommodating gluten-free and vegan dietary needs.Sage Canyon Rd is a little bit scary for those of us not used to mountain roads, but we got used to driving them.The beds were comfy and we would definitely come back again!
This is an incredible house⊠the kind of place that actually becomes part of the story and helps make for fantastic time all around. We were 4 couples, the husbands all turning 50 this year. Monica and Ivan were awesome, and Chef Patrick performed an amazing meal for us. We will be back!
This property is truly stunning! The pictures donât do it justice. The view is breathtaking. Monica and Ivan were great to work with. We had a fantastic time and wished we could stay longer. The drive up there is not easy but well worth it. Definitely hire Patrick the chef to do a dinner for you. He and his staff were so fun and the food was amazing. We would stay here again!!
Three generations enjoyed the remoteness, quiet, views, birds, sunrises, sunsets, pool, spa and game room. Separate wings and six bedrooms provided respite and privacy. It could not be better nor improved.
We loved staying here so much none of us wanted to leave. The grounds are stunning, as is the house. Kitchen has everything you need, comfortable beds, incredible pool and jacuzzi. The VIEWS! The only thing is that it is a pretty windy and remote road to get up here so just be prepared. After doing it once it wasn't so bad but the first time was just a bit of a surprise. Honestly though, worth it for the totally private feeling property. No neighbors in sight, just natural beauty.
Hard to believe but the pictures donât do the property justice. The views are incredible. Beautiful and varied outdoor areas, well appointed and vast indoor spaces. 10 people with us and we had far more than enough space. Itâs a long (and winding) drive to get there so need to plan days around it, but 100% worth the effort to get there. Highly recommend having Chef Patrick cook for your group - did two dinners (one formal one informal) and 3 breakfasts for us - excellent food and letâs you take full advantage of the property.
I was celebrating my 60th (!) birthday with my adult children and could not have picked a more perfect spot! The home is spectacular, with views literally for miles and luxury amenities. Our family of seven wanted mostly to spend time together enjoying meals (and drinking wine) so this was ideal, with plenty of space to spread out and relax, enjoying the pool, hot tub, bocce and other games, theater room... We did visit four wineries and eat out several times (Mustard's, Press, Auberge du Soleil) and Monica provided a comprehensive list of services, restaurants, and general info which was super helpful. She was great about checking in periodically, and the caretaker was wonderful at check in and responsive if we ever had a question about anything. We tool advantage of a private chef and also did our own cooking one night. I highly recommend having the house stocked with groceries and hiring drivers for your entire stay. The spot is very remote and the climb up the mountain from the main road not for the faint of heart. It's not a good choice if you plan on heading out a lot to do heavy sightseeing, wine tours and restaurants daily. But if like us, you plan on heading out for a portion of every day but want to enjoy the group you are with in privacy and luxury, you could not pick a more perfect spot.
Beautiful home with so much space- the pictures donât do it justice. Views are phenomenal. Monica is attentive and responds quickly to all communication. Ivan, the house manager, is the same way.
I highly recommend this property!!! Worth every penny.
Spectacular home. Located at top of mountain. A very spacious and comfortable home which accommodated our whole family of 10. Fantastic kitchen and pool with the most incredible views of Napa.
This home is a must. Just know that winding narrow roads for vehicles. Suggest smaller vehicles and no evening driving as dark roads.
This house is beautiful and fully stocked. Itâs up in the hills and 30min from town. Once you get to the top it has beautiful views. We did find it a bit windy at the house but that didnât stop everyone from enjoying the pool. You do have to pay a extra charge to heat the pool. We really enjoyed having all of the family stay together at such a beautiful location. Very relaxing
I just checked out from an incredible stay in Monicaâs home. The home was not only immaculate but warm and inviting and perfect for a large group. The doors open up into an easy flowing kitchen, pool, and outdoor dining space. We spent majority of our time outside enjoying the views that were exceptional. The fire pits were perfect for at night when it gets chilly along with the spa. The kitchen is fully equipped for meals. This is by far the best house Iâve stayed in and will absolutely be back. The only thing to mention is the drive up the mountain is a good 15 minutes and 30 minutes to town. We had quite a few people getting car sick so be aware when booking. Otherwise there isnât a single negative I can think of.
Incredible house. The pictures donât do it justice
We came here for a friends birthday for wine tasting, great food and laughs and the house made the trip even more unforgettable. Stunning views, high ceilings, great rooms with comfortable beds, incredible chefâs kitchen. This was perfection. Already trying to come up with another reason to come back
We rented Monica's estate for a small retreat with clients and had a fantastic time. The home and views are beautiful. Monica and Ivan made the check-in/out process extremely smooth and checked in a few times to make sure we had everything we needed.
The highlight of the trip was the private dinner with Chef Patrick at the house.
Couldn't recommend enough!

Love the remote location with 100% wifi - pool is stunning. Chef Patrick was awesome. I would recommend planning accordingly to spend good time at the house - worth it. Awesome hiking in the area as well!
