The Site

The retreat is situated in the middle of hundreds of vineyard acres, with 4 acres of mature trees, lawns, gardens, and patios with fountains. A spectacular private experience! The swimming pool is a great place to refresh during the warm summer months. Birds and butterflies galore! There are eight separate patio areas, each with its own view, character and seating arraignments. Additional features include large areas for lawn games and meandering; an outdoor covered game area with ping pong, darts, card table; vibrant rose garden to enjoy. This winter we will be planting a vegetable garden for your enjoyment. The vineyard bocce ball court will be completed in late spring. Kids will love putting down their phones and running around this property - playing games, climbing trees, hunting for bugs, swinging on ropes, sleeping outside under the stars. At night the skies are clear, and stars are bright. Throw a log in the outdoor fireplace and catch up with old friends….
