Amazing and unique property! Very comfortable and cozy for a family gathering! Super close to Healdsburg and Santa Rosa. Great proximity to the wonderful Russian River Wineries as well! Thanks for the memories

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.

We had a great time visiting wine country with a group of six friends! Michael Ray was wonderful and very accommodating, he even met us after a late flight in the evening of our arrival. Plenty of things to do, centrally located and very smooth process overall. The house is very unique and we enjoyed our stay.

We stayed at Michael's place for a week to celebrate Thanksgiving. The place was clean and comfortable and had all the cookware and bakeware needed for our Thanksgiving feast. We used the hot tub and the deck space and enjoyed them both. Michael checked in on us to see if we needed anything and also dropped off some apples he had just picked from his tree. I would stay here again in minute

We really enjoyed our stay at the Castle House. I have to say, we were a little concerned about what we would find after reading a recent review. Fortunately, what we did find was nothing like that review. The beds were comfortable, the house was fresh and clean and the spa was crystal clear. Michael was a gracious host sharing winery, restaurant, and day trip suggestions. We look forward to our next visit to the Castle House!

Outside is beautiful, landscape, tall trees, ivy, decks and the views...all perfect. The main house has a nice great room and picture views from windows. Beds were very uncomfortable, seemed like old mattresses. The sheets and pillows smelled musty. The shower heads in both bathrooms clogged or calcified that very little sprayed out of them. Plenty of towels which is a plus. No dust pan but lots of brooms. No laundry soap and the dryer did not work properly. My husband had to put the closet doors back on the track. Worms in the spa..never got in it myself but kids loved it. The tunnel and game room..kids had a blast playing hide and seek, tag and running back and forth with plenty of room to burn energy. However, there were so many safety hazards, bannister rail about to fall off, cupboards in the bar area can be opened but not useable or working and are exposed and unfinished carpentry with boards, nails, broken tiles, sharp jagged unsafe etc...seems better to seal them shut and use them only for looks. The pool table nice. For the price it was fair but would not stay here again.

What a neat home! The pictures are accurate. Such a fun and unique home very conveniently located in the middle of a seemingly endless amount of vineyards. 5 of us were quite comfortable. A review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning how helpful the host (Michael) was upon our arrival. He met us at the property and proceeded to give us a very detailed rundown of all the restaurants, wineries, and activities to check out in the area. Very gracious. If you’re visiting the area and are looking for a well appointed, spacious, and totally unique rental, you’d do well to book this property.

The Castle House has something for everyone- fish ponds, hidden garden treasures and a tunnel for the kids to explore, a game room with a very unique history- perfect for entertaining friends, and my favorite- a lovely outdoor deck surrounded by redwoods where we ate most of our meals. The best place for a family vacation!

We were a group of long time friends biking along the Pacific coast. We had a last minute change of plans and were fortunate enough to find this amazing home, and spend a week riding in wine country. Michael was a great, informative, responsive host. The house is perfectly situated to explore the beauty of Sonoma and wine country. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedroom configuration worked great for us. We hope we can come back!

This awesome, unique house was the perfect house in the perfect location for us to visit Sonoma, Napa and Bodega Bay! Michael was very easy to get ahold of when we needed to and greeted us in person when we arrived to familiarize us with the house and give us excellent tips on things to do and places to eat. We visited many wineries, the safari and Bodega Bay. Thank you, Michael for being a great host!

What a fantastic place to adventure! Mike was so accommodating and met us at the property. Loved having a tour of the place and supplied a map and coupons for those who were interested in going on wine tasting tours. He was so accommodating to provide additional bedding for those who wanted to stay in the main home. Thanks for being so accommodating!

Our trip was to visit wineries with friends that had not been to Ca wine country before. Michael was a great host in showing the house amenities but the true value for us was his winery recommendations. This was our 5th trip so we know the area but Michael gave us new places to check out with discount coupons. Every place we went knew of the Castle House and Michael which meant it felt like we got special treatment. (Favorites, Wilson, Kokomos, Colograssi, Williamson, Sbragia) The locations is perfect. 40 minutes to the coast, 20 minutes to Healdsburg and lots of wineries within a 20 minute drive. My wife and I played golf at the Northwood golf course which is close by, has club rentals and is one of the most beautiful course within the redwood trees and only $50 including a cart! Oliver's grocery was a nice recommendation as the kitchen has everything and lots of extras like spices, coffee and things like that. If you are not from California (we are from Tampa) be prepared for sticker shock on prices from gas at $6+/gal to $18 burgers and wines @ $35-60/bottle. The deck area is large and comfortable with a decent grill. The strange red half bathroom is part of the stone bedroom and above the pool table/bar room and separate from the main house via the tunnel which was nice. The Castle House served as the center piece of our wine country dream vacation!

We visited with our three adult children and their partners. Michael was a super host and gave us tons of suggestions on places to visit and other helpful tips. The location was amazing, set back in a redwood grove and surrounded by vineyards. Lots of cool stuff going on with the house just adds to the adventure. We had a blast!

We enjoyed our stay here immensely. The location was perfect to drive to many different wineries and restaurants. Plus, we stayed in one night and played games and made tacos. It was by far the best vacation ever! Michael was a great host too, he gave us suggestions of places to go and things to see. We just enjoyed our stay here at the castle.

We stayed here for a two-day teambuilding offsite. Four team members were from out of town and stayed overnight, but we had fourteen people total during the day. It was a unique experience to be remembered by all. Michael was a great host and ensured we had internet connectivity throughout the property and everything else we needed.
