Glen Ellen, California
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.
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.
The view is amazing, the property is well-kept, and the and the host/manager interactions were very professional. Wonderful experience.
Top notch accommodations with stunning views! Highly recommend dinner at home by Isa and Sonoma Yoga for private class on pool deck- a perfect way to start the day!
This home is gorgeous and the house manager PJ is FANTASTIC to work with. They even had a bottle of wine for us! I can’t recommend this home enough!
From the great communication before and onsite with PJ, to the flexibility for us adding more days, and of course the property itself it was a magical trip for us. We are very appreciative of the newly surfaced road and the remodeling and upgrades since our last stay. Its the best firepit in the world, and the hot tub was wonderful in the cold weather. We were able to host a private chef in the completely outfitted gourmet kitchen again, and if you stay we highly recommend hiring Isa Jacoby- we got another world class Charcuterie and veggie cheese Board and she even made treats for the kiddos. Everything was in great working order and the internet was solid like it was last visit. We're excited about the next remodeling plans PJ shared with us as well and can’t wait for our next visit. We miss those sunrises and sunsets and that view already.
Beautiful property and the host and caretaker couldn't be better!
Had a great time and everything about the property was amazing!!!
A group of seven colleagues met up here and cook, ate, drank and relaxed for a long weekend. It is absolutely serene. So many different sitting areas and views to enjoy. The road is absolutely not an issue. We would definitely stay here again.
Fantastic trip
This is our fourth time staying in Norman's lovely home. The view, the service, the pool, the kitchen - all perfect for our trip!
This home had views that did not disappoint! Just sitting outside by the amazing fire pit or swimming was the highlight of our trip. The home is very comfortable and easily accommodated 2 families. We would adventure during the day and stay in for dinner at night and it was one of our best trips to CA. Would highly recommend this property and would stay there again without hesitation. The property manager PJ was so helpful as well!!
The spacious, open architecture is superbly laid out to enjoy hillside valley views & sunsets from various spaces of the house. The indoor-outdoor design lets guests enjoy the valley breezes in every space and makes enjoying indoor-outdoor living easy and pleasant. Our group was composed of cooks, chefs & sommeliers who found the kitchen, outdoor grill, and cooking tools to be just right to make some magic at every meal. Everyone enjoyed a mix of morning yoga, daytime swims, nighttime jacuzzi, and long hillside walks. Property Mgr PJ is delightful and responsive; she tuned the details that made our stay extra special. This hillside beauty goes in our re-visit book.
This is a great house for outdoor living in wine country. We had 7 adults doing yoga and exercise classes poolside before venturing out for the day. Dinners on the same deck with incredible sunsets. Happy times around the firepit. We will rent it again.
We had a wonderful time on this trip. We loved the house. Isa made us a lovely meal. Michelle was our driver for the 4 days. PJ the house manager ( along with Esa and Michelle) was very helpful in helping us put our plans into action. A great and memorable time was had by all. We will return !!!!!!
This home is absolutely amazing! The views are stunning and the house has everything you could possibly need during your stay. Norman (owner) and PJ (property manager) were very proactive, providing both details for smooth travels/check in and also about recommendations for activities, restaurants, transportation, etc. My husband and I stayed in the guest apartment and our adult kids stayed in the main house. The spacious kitchen made meal prep a fun, social family activity! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will be back!
