Beautiful 3,000 SF Castle in the Vineyards

This 3,000 sf private vacation getaway on one acre, across from hundreds of acres of vineyards, has the look of a castle with the feel of a luxurious estate. Both structures shown in the photographs are included and are connected by a hallway. Enjoy a state of the art kitchen (granite counters, new gas stove, refrigerator, large island with bar seating), two king bedroom suites as well as two other guest bedrooms (one with a queen bed and one with a full bed), large game room with full size pool table, and bar, and great outdoor areas with a private hot tub. Located in the center of the wine country: a short walk to Martin Ray Winery tasting everything from Cabernet to Chardonnay, dozens of other wineries within a few miles, only 15 to 20 minutes to Healdsburg, less than 5 minutes to a kayak launch site on the Russian River and 20 minutes to Bodega Bay. Sonoma County Permit # 2PE12-0126, Sonoma County Transient Tax # 986N.

Perfect location for a biking tour of Sonoma!
Wonderful property. It feels like you're in a secluded location since you're surrounded by towering redwoods! This place is centrally located in the valley and was a great location to cycle out from! Michael is a fantastic host and spends as much time with you as needed to make sure you know where to go in the area.

Relaxing Sebastopol vacation
The Castle House has something for everyone- fish ponds, hidden garden treasures and a tunnel for the kids to explore, a game room with a very unique history- perfect for entertaining friends, and my favorite- a lovely outdoor deck surrounded by redwoods where we ate most of our meals. The best place for a family vacation!

Friends Visit to Wine Country
We had a great time visiting wine country with a group of six friends! Michael Ray was wonderful and very accommodating, he even met us after a late flight in the evening of our arrival. Plenty of things to do, centrally located and very smooth process overall. The house is very unique and we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful stay
We stayed at Michael's place for a week to celebrate Thanksgiving. The place was clean and comfortable and had all the cookware and bakeware needed for our Thanksgiving feast. We used the hot tub and the deck space and enjoyed them both. Michael checked in on us to see if we needed anything and also dropped off some apples he had just picked from his tree. I would stay here again in minute

This awesome, unique house was the perfect house in the perfect location for us to visit Sonoma, Napa and Bodega Bay! Michael was very easy to get ahold of when we needed to and greeted us in person when we arrived to familiarize us with the house and give us excellent tips on things to do and places to eat. We visited many wineries, the safari and Bodega Bay. Thank you, Michael for being a great host!

Had a great time!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Castle House. I have to say, we were a little concerned about what we would find after reading a recent review. Fortunately, what we did find was nothing like that review. The beds were comfortable, the house was fresh and clean and the spa was crystal clear. Michael was a gracious host sharing winery, restaurant, and day trip suggestions. We look forward to our next visit to the Castle House!

castle (noun as in magnificent home, often for royalty)
We rented the castle for 5 nights. The location was perfect between the Charles Schultz Airport and Memorial Hills Cemetery. Lots of beautiful areas on property for family photos. Super quite location. Got a kick out of listening to the coyotes.The home was clean and accomodated 7 adults perfectly. The owners were very friendly and met us at the home to walk us through and answer any questions. The beds were very clean and comfortable. Lots of amenities that we were able to use. Saved us from traveling with so much extras. Hot tub was very nice.The kids enjoyed the party room with pool table. Thank you from our family.

Family seeks latest adventure
What a fantastic place to adventure! Mike was so accommodating and met us at the property. Loved having a tour of the place and supplied a map and coupons for those who were interested in going on wine tasting tours. He was so accommodating to provide additional bedding for those who wanted to stay in the main home. Thanks for being so accommodating!
