Bachelorette Weekend Paradise!
We stayed at the Suisun Valley Inn for two nights with a group of 16 gals for a Bachelorette Party. It was the perfect spot for us! The Inn was spacious, clean, and the grounds and views were breath taking. Gary was a wonderful communicator the entire time. I cannot recommend this place more!

Amazing Property
We had such a great time at Gary's property. There was a big group of us coming in from all over the U.S. and Gary's property was able to accommodate all of us. In a very good location for visiting wineries. Has everything you could think of from washer/dryer, two ovens, grill, hot tub, pots, pans, plates. I would highly recommend staying here. Gary is very quick to answer. The main road was closed for construction our last day, but Gary was on top of it and helped us with an alternate route.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Bacon

Host profile image
Gary built one of the most successful corporate housing companies on the East Coast which was sold to Equity Residential in 2001. He retired a year later and began the first of many expeditions to six continents. Ying was a national tour director in China where the two met in 2002. Gary and Ying were married in 2008 and settled in Fairfield, California where they operate summer camps for Chinese youth through the American Chinese Cultural Exchange Service.

Why they chose this property

The inn was built in 2004 as the principal residence at Monroe Ranch which had been in the owner's family since 1860. A lifelong devotee of George Washington, the residence resembles Mt. Vernon, Washington's estate in Virginia. The home had been used for weekend retreats by the family whose principal residence was south of San Francisco. With eight bedrooms and seven baths, the home was easily convertible into an inn.

What makes this property unique

The property has a unique history including the fact that it was once the site of 'Big Camp' a 1000-strong Chinese settlement along the banks of Suisun Creek where railroad-weary workers lived and farmed the land for area ranchers. The property is surrounded by vineyards and farmland. Fifty-eight magnolia trees and a single remaining 100-year old pear tree line the quarter-mile entryway to the inn. Over forty variety of birds enjoy fruit from our trees during the day and at night scores of constellations are easily identified.
