Beautiful property with the winery. Tasting room was nice. Room was okay, dated, pull out couch bed had burns on it, dirty underneath, no soap in shower dispenser, ice machine out of order, said they were going to fix.but didn't. Could not get food service. The staff at check out was very nice, apologized and gave me a bottle of wine for our challenges.

Our stay was exactly what we wanted. Peaceful with a beautiful view of the vineyards. The resort is quiet and pool area was nice. The pool is in need of resurfacing but otherwise was great. I especially enjoyed the sunrise view with the hot air balloons in the early morning. Rooms were clean and spacious. The resort is only open for breakfast and lunch so be sure to plan for dinner at a nearby location. We will be back!

Beautiful stay, very quiet and peaceful. Room looked and felt clean except the bath tub but we didn’t use it. The bed was a pull down which was interesting. Staff was attentive and room service was quick. Property was stunning, especially at dusk and dawn. Overall, was a lovely getaway and would definitely stay here again.
