About this property

Luxury Hillside Retreat with Amazing Views & Pool

Enjoy breathtaking wine country views from this peaceful hillside retreat. A vast deck off the chef's kitchen creates a spectacular outdoor living space, offering swimming, lounging, grilling, dining and, after dark, star-gazing around the fire pit. Four spacious Master Suites, each with an en suite bathroom, provide super-comfortable accommodation for gatherings of family or friends. A secluded Office is included.

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.

This is a rural location with a steep, narrow and windy access road. Particularly nervous drivers are discouraged. No parties are allowed on the property but guests are rewarded with serenity, luxury and a real escape!

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 and deck are the focus of activity. During Fall and Spring, the folding doors between the kitchen and deck create an indoor/outdoor living space that you can flex according to the weather. They also give quick access to the outdoor spa (available all year). Even in the Winter, its light-filled contemporary interiors with panoramic views through picture windows make this an uplifting and warm retreat. At night, year round, the firepit comes into its own.

FOUR MASTER SUITES
Cavedale Ridge has four comfortable, spacious Master Suites, each with a modern ensuite bathroom. Two of the Master Suites (Sky Suite and Garden Suite) are in the Main House and two (Sunset Suite and the Guest House) have separate entrances surrounding a covered porch. All the Suites have King beds but the Garden Suite can instead be made up with two Twins.

INDOOR/OUTDOOR LIVING
In the Main House, the open-plan ground floor has a large living room, Chef's kitchen and dining space that open straight onto the pool and spa deck. Wonderful in the Summer, but also in the Spring and Fall, as it allows you to create a semi indoor/outdoor dining space so you can comfortably enjoy the fresh air, stay sheltered, and be near the BBQ and the spa.

The Guest House has its own private living area with a fireplace, wet-bar, and a spacious covered porch is shared with the Sunset Suite – somewhere shady for hot days, a quiet place to relax away from all the poolside activity, or another spot for watching the sunset over cocktails.

In addition to the Main House indoor dining table and the outdoor dining area by the pool, there is also a shady lunch spot under the olive trees. This provides a choice of three areas for relaxing meals.

DEDICATED HOME OFFICE
Off the covered porch there is a large home office room which can be closed off from the rest of the group. We have Starlink internet with speeds of over 60Mbps.

AIR CON & HEATING
The Main House enjoys under-floor heating throughout, with in-room air-conditioning in the bedrooms. In the Guest House there is central air-conditioning and heating. The Sunset Suite and office enjoy underfloor heating and air-conditioning.

PARKING
Parking is available for a maximum of four cars on the premises. We have security cameras covering the drive and the parking areas.

TO MAKE YOUR VACATION SPECIAL
We can recommend local private chefs, wine drivers and visiting yoga, reiki and massage services.

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!

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.
