The Gated Country Estate | High Elevation| Views| Weddings (Fee Applies)

This Gated Country Estate, surrounded by a natural stone wall, offers expansive views of the Bay Area from the snow-capped Sierras to the San Mateo peninsula and is adjacent to the Mt. Diablo/East Bay Regional Park with over 1000 miles of hiking, biking, and riding trails. Horses graze peacefully on the grassy foothills, and the estate abounds with wildlife, which you can view from the picture windows in every room. This is a beautiful venue for an event, like a wedding, but it is important to understand that events are charged separately from overnight rental.

This magnificent, serene setting has been described by visitors as comparable to being on a perennial vacation. Very private, yet just minutes from the 580 and 680 freeways, this 16-acre gated retreat has be to experienced to be believed.

Located close to the expansive Delta system connecting the Bay Area with Sacramento. Fishing, boating, swimming, and all water sports are readily available.

The location offers close proximity to airports, both private and international, Bay Area Rapid Transit, and numerous golf courses. The thriving Tri-Valley area abounds with restaurants and shopping. Numerous tourist spots are nearby: San Francisco, AT&T Ballpark, the wineries of Napa/Sonoma/Livermore, Great America, Marine World/Africa USA, and Water World. Yosemite National Park, Monterey, Carmel, Santa Cruz, and ocean beaches are close by.

This nearly 5,000 square-foot mountain home is a stunning retreat that has a gourmet kitchen; expansive family room, many antique furnishings and bathrooms with tumbled marble. The house features extensive use of redwood, hardwood flooring, marble, stone, and brick, with all the upgrades.

Wonderful property. A few pros and cons: 1) Pro: Location/view are absolutely stunning 2) Con: A bit of a mouse problem, we were cleaning up quite a bit of feces and they even ate our food. Owner is trying to remediate, hope it goes better for the next guests 3) Pro: New hot tub! The view from it can not be beat 4) FYI: Long single lane road to property. Was a bit scary around the blind corners. Still worth it.

Top of the World
The views from this house are magnificent. It felt like an aleph point that was somehow in Northern California, England, Ireland, and Italy. I loved looking at a book about castles of the world while on the couch overlooking the land, sunrise and sunset. My kids loved the hottub. You can tell this home was a happy place with good vibes built into it. Hosts were communicative and helpful. We would stay again. Thanks

Secluded Getaway
The property was well maintained with a great view in a secluded area. The home has rustic charm on a horse ranch. Plenty of wildlife we seen daily. The entrance road is a little tough for someone not used to narrow pass ways but also well maintained.

Beautiful Location
We stayed here for the weekend for a book club getaway and had a great time. The host Cheryl was awesome, very accommodating and communicative when needed. There were a few hiccups outside of her control but she did her best to help. There was a major power outage for a good portion of our stay but she was great about letting us know what was going on, keeping us up to date and helping where she could. You can't beat the view and even during a power outage in a heat wave, it's location allowed for a slight breeze that kept it bearable.

Amazing country mountain home!
Cheryl’s estate is nothing short of amazing! We absolutely loved our time spent. The home is so warm and inviting, and the scene around the property is spectacular with rolling hills and mountain views, whether you love the sunrise or sunset, you have it all! The kitchen as well appointed, and the home is so comfortable and cozy! We loved watching her horses, Roam in front of us and even got to see some wild turkeys, running around and some deer. Our family truly appreciated every ounce of our stay and working with Cheryl was a real pleasure. Thank you again and we will be back!

Serene Views
House was charmingly decorated and full of character. Property was very fun to stay at with the views stealing the show. we spent most of the time out back just enjoying the scenery. The spa was broken and that was the only negative.

Beautiful house with spectacular views!
Our group of ten had a great time! The house is large, comfortable, and well-furnished. The spacious kitchen had everything we needed to cook large meals. The highlight, of course, is the view! We spent most of our time on the patio and deck behind the house enjoying the scenery, and also played some yard games on the lawn. Unfortunately, the hot tub was not working, but the owner told us a new one is on the way for future guests. Would highly recommend a trip to Del Valle Lake about 45 minutes away. Would definitely recommend this place! Thank you to our hosts for having us.
