Luxury Retreat Overlooking Sonoma Valley Enjoy breathtaking wine country views and spectacular sunsets from Cavedale Ridge, a peaceful hillside retreat. On the vast Pool Deck off the Chef's Kitchen, swim, lounge, grill, dine, and relax in the spa. And then in the evenings, star-gaze around the Fire Pit. All four Primary Suites offer similar standards of accommodation: space, privacy, comfort and modern bathrooms. This makes Cavedale Ridge ideal for four couples, groups of adults, or extended family gatherings. Choose from different places for dining – perhaps lunch under the olive trees, then cocktails or dinner watching the spectacular sunsets from the Pool Deck, Covered Porch or Indoor Dining area. Cavedale Ridge overlooks Sonoma Valley with the wineries and restaurants of historic Sonoma, Glen Ellen and Kenwood only a 20 minute drive away. Napa Valley is a 45 minute drive over the mountain. YEAR ROUND VACATION Cavedale Ridge is idyllic at any time of year. In the Summer, the Pool (heated from Memorial Day weekend through September), Spa (year-round) and Deck are the focus of activity. During Spring and Fall, the folding doors between the Kitchen and Pool Deck create an Indoor/Outdoor Living space that you can flex according to the weather. They also give instant access to the Spa and Firepit. Even in the Winter, the light-filled interiors with panoramic views make this an uplifting and warm retreat. At night, year-round, the Firepit comes into its own. There are three internet-enabled TVs and Starlink wifi with speeds of over 60Mbps. LAYOUT Main House: ● Entrance Level: Chef’s Kitchen, Open-plan Dining and Living Room leading onto the Pool Deck; and Garden Suite (a Primary Suite that can be made up as a King or as Twins). ● 2nd Floor: Sky Suite (Primary with King). Guest House reached via external steps: ● Guest House Suite (Primary with King) and own Living space and Wet Bar.

A/C AND HEATING The Main House enjoys under-floor heating throughout, with in-room air-conditioning in the bedrooms only. In the Guest House there is central air-conditioning and heating.

WINE-TASTING, YOGA AND MASSAGE We can recommend local private chefs, wine drivers and visiting yoga, reiki and massage services. NEED TO KNOW There are security cameras covering the parking area.

Contact with the property manager was timely, accurate and helpful. The person who set up the property for our arrival went above and beyond to accommodate our needs for our 3 year old as well as providing local area knowledge. Unfortunately the usual road from the highway to the property was closed for road work which added an additional 15-20 minutes ( guesstimate) travel time on a single lane winding mountain road. ##### John M.

We had 4 couples and plenty of space for all of us. The kitchen and bedrooms had everything that we could have possibly needed even with the chef that came in to cook us a meal. The views were spectacular and we really enjoyed sitting by the fire or hot tub enjoying them. I hope to be back again to enjoy more wineries. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paulette J. 26 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sonoma and Napa wine tasting This property is amazing! It is well appointed, very spacious and the views are incredible. Anything our group of 5 adults needed was at our fingertips. The property manger was easily available to answer our questions. We were initially nervous with the road to the house, however we very quickly adjusted and enjoyed the ride. We highly recommend this property and want to go back again.

The view was spectacular. The road to get there is not for the faint of heart, especially since the main road was closed due to a recent mudslide, but that just added to the “adventure”. The location gave us good access to both Sonoma and Napa, although it took us about 40 minutes to get to either side due to the redirection from the mudslide. The Villa had been updated and was in good shape. The four separate master suites worked well for our group of 8\. If you are looking for beautiful views and isolation, I recommend this rental. ##### Barry T. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geoff H., Fremont, CA 2 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 3rd time back, Magical as always! Our 3rd time at the property and still left in awe of this amazing home and team that supports its renters. We won the rain/storm lottery this year but it was actualy awesome to be on site safe and sound watching the clouds and weather roll up the valley sitting in front of the fireplace indoors and outside at the most amazing fire pit in the world during breaks in the weather. The hot tub was perfect! The new additions opening up downstairs for a 2nd master suite were really appreciated! Internet was fast as in previous stays for streaming and meetings. PJ who is the nearby white glove service contact is a great and fast communicator and even made extra trips to receive some late mail order food that was delivered to the property to make sure it wasn’t returned. Thanks PJ again! We had a chef come in this time and they and we are still very appreciative of all the gourmet kitchen has to offer— nice glassware, decanter, restaurant quality kitchen equipment— and stovetops, fridge space and a wine/champagne chiller to let anyone shine. The fire pit is the crown jewel of the property— you have to spend a few hours out there unplugging from everything and you’ll know what I’m talking about! The whole home and property held up during the rain, we all felt comfy and secure during the 5” of rain we got. The road is great after its repaving a couple years ago. All in all 5 stars for the property and crew and service-- We will be back! ##### Geoff H.

Terrific experience all around. Everyone was sad to leave. The road to get to the house is as advertised but not bad and well worth the house and the views! ##### Eric L.

All rooms were special and pool/spa/firepit/deck were great for al fresco dining. A couple mornings, there was fog in the valley and we were truly above it all!!! ##### Randy K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rick R. 28 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing and Enjoyable secluded in the hills Amazing trip away from the city! The drive up the hill is best during the day.. it bit scratchy at times, but that was because we have 6 people in a large SUV.. cars are no problem. ##### Rick R.

Both house and deck are fantastically spacious and it's all really tastefully furnished. The deck and pool are just the perfect place to chill out - and we had just the odd excursion down to the Sonoma valley for a game of tennis, meal out or visit to a winery (though I actually didnt want to go out much). Highlights were drinking local wine while watching the sunsets from the deck in the evening while sitting round the firepit and quiet pre breakfast swims watching the humming birds from the pool. Really recommend this place for those wanting luxury in a get-away-from-it all location. ##### Caroline F. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Agua-Caliente-Resort-Casino-Spa-Rancho-Mirage.h2020169.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16130.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > > [Everline Resort and Spa, Lake Tahoe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Resort-At-Squaw-Creek.h13668.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sandman Santa Rosa Sonoma, an Ascend Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Rosa-Hotels-The-Sandman.h919721.Hotel-Information) > > [Sacred Sands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Joshua-Tree-Hotels-Sacred-Sands.h39764924.Hotel-Information) > > [HYATT house Pleasant Hill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Concord-Hotels-HYATT-House-Pleasant-Hill.h890952.Hotel-Information) > > [Hill House Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mendocino-Hotels-Hill-House-Inn.h181081.Hotel-Information) > > [TETRA Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunnyvale-Hotels-TETRA-Hotel.h59450839.Hotel-Information) > > [Harris Ranch Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coalinga-Hotels-Harris-Ranch-Inn.h11297837.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Lake Tahoe Resort South](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Lake-Tahoe-Vacation-Resort-By-Diamond-Resorts.h64098.Hotel-Information) > > [Hope Haven 18 Bedroom Christian Setting](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perris-Hotels-Hope-Haven.h57237475.Hotel-Information) > > [Spyglass Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Spyglass-Inn.h41235.Hotel-Information) > > [Carmel Mission Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Carmel-Mission-Inn.h21218.Hotel-Information) > > [Indian Wells Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Indian-Wells-Resort-Hotel.h14026.Hotel-Information) > > [The Avalon Hotel on Catalina Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Avalon-Hotels-The-Avalon-Hotel-On-Catalina-Island.h1502622.Hotel-Information) > > [Two Bunch Palms Spa Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Two-Bunch-Palms-Spa-Resort-Adults-Only.h1338988.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [Cottage Inn By The Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Cottage-Inn-By-The-Sea.h150921.Hotel-Information) > > [Melody Ranch Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Melody-Ranch-Motel.h10080334.Hotel-Information) > > [Romantic Couples Cabin near Park Gate Entrance to Sequoia Nat'l Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fresno-Hotels-Romantic-Couples-Cabin-Near-Park-Gate-Entrance-To-Sequoia-Natl-Park.h33495653.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Buena Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buena-Park-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Buena-Park.h12753.Hotel-Information) > > [Carmel Valley Ranch, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Carmel-Valley-Ranch.h423710.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Mountain Inn Nude Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Sea-Mountain-Inn-Nude-Resort-Adults-Only.h27490625.Hotel-Information) > > [Multi-Family A-Frame Cabin: 9 Beds + Lake Access + AC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Arrowhead-Hotels-Summer-A-Frame-Cabin-Lake-Access-AC.h79186206.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-SeaCrest-OceanFront-Hotel.h1365352.Hotel-Information) ---
