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.

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.

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.

Girl's weekend in the castle

We loved our stay. The house was cozy and quirky at the same time. Our host Michael was so helpful with the house and things to do, even providing winery recommendations and coupons. We would stay again!

Charming house in the midst of vineyards

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is certainly unique, beautiful, clean, well maintained and has very unusual layout. Plenty of space to spread out. Teenagers can have their own quarters. Bedding is comfortable, pillows could be better. Bathrooms/showers worked great. High end kitchen appliances and propane grill on the deck. Did not use hot tab, but it was there and ready. Too bad the fireplace is not functioning. Walking distance and short drives to numerous wineries. Many thanks to Michael, who is a great host. He met us in person, gave a detailed tour and history lesson about the house. His local knowledge and recommendations were invaluable. Would love to stay again one day.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Ray

My husband and I love to travel and stay in unique homes. When we were looking for a home to offer as a vacation rental we knew immediately this home would be perfect. There isn't another home like it, anywhere. It has a fantastic location in the center of the wine country, is very private and is surrounded by beautiful views and landscaping.

Why they chose this property

We love Sebastopol. It's rural, but it's 15 minutes close to everything any big city has to offer and it's only an hour drive into San Francisco. People are friendly, open and accepting and the tasting rooms are relaxed and uncrowded.

What makes this property unique

This home is like no other home. When you drive through the front gate it gives you the feel of arriving at a castle. There is an open floor plan, great for a large or small family, with three bedrooms (king, king, queen, a den/bedroom with a full size bed and a large recreation room). You can barbecue out on the deck while dipping in and out of the hot tub ~ or talking to those inside watching TV on the flat screen.
