For centuries earlier Americans traveled far and wide for its spiritual and medicinal value. Copper Japanese soaking tubs built-out in our private orchard. Sobre Vista Resort!

At the perimeter, and inside the security & deer fencing, we have installed a 1/4-mile steel-edged decomposed granite pathway for walking or jogging. "Four times around is a mile." There is a beautiful, cool and deep, modern 60-foot salt-water Swimming Pool; Grass Volleyball Court; cedar Bocce Ball court; Bermuda grass Croquet field; Badminton & Picnic Areas. We always hear the property is so much more than our Guests expected. We love it & hope that you will too.

There is a Billiard Room & Library with fireplace and nearby Dining Room set for 14. A Chef's Kitchen & Breakfast Room has direct access to the courtyard & exterior water features. The Family Room & fireplace overlooks the 60-foot Pool, Tennis Court and Valley Views to the East. Every corner you turn will positively amaze, inspire & engage.

OUTSIDE: While enjoying Family & Friends you'll find the outdoors inviting, cozy & active.

Our Vacation Resort is designed as a Modern Country Guest Estate in the exclusive residential enclave of Sobre Vista. Once upon a time, our 2 1/4-acre property was part of the historic Main Residence Compound to the 4,000-acre Spreckels (Sugar) Estate also known in-the-day as, "The San Simeon of the North." In the 1930's Charlie Chaplin and Ronald Reagan played tennis on our court. Today, we feature landscaped amenities beyond compare to any other vacation option in Napa, Sonoma, Healdsburg, Russian River or Calistoga, including Geothermal Mineral baths for the Spring of 2025!

This is the One & Only Exceptional Wine Country Estate. Exclusive, Luxurious & Private.

Ulrike S.

Wonderful experience!
The house is beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice. So much space, extra fun (like pool table and piano, fireplaces, all ball games and lots of tennis racquets available etc) a lot of bathrooms, everything you need in terms of towels and other amenities! The sun never hits the pool fully which our sunbathing friends should probably know about, however it's perfect for hot weather and chilling in the shade. Olivia and Sufia were both lovely and easy to communicate with. Can only highly recommend a stay there and will definitely come back!

I enjoyed the spaciousness and charming, comfortable feel of the place
All 13 of us could not have been happier to just sit around on the back deck or by the pool, eating and drinking and enjoying the scenery.

Family Reunion
We had a family reunion with families from across the country; Alaska, Maine, Texas, California, New Mexico and Washington state. The Sobre Vista house was the perfect venue for the family gatherings. With the pool, tennis court, and outdoor patios, there was room for everyone to relax and enjoy the beautiful Sonoma Valley. The house was well appointed and the bedrooms were very quiet and comfortable. Everyone had a great time and we would definitely consider going back.

Wonderful grounds, spacious house, perfect for big family get-together
We had our kids with spouses and their little ones and had a wonderful time. The outdoor area has a gigantic yard and a couple of decks, with gorgeous old trees as well as lots of sunny areas. We spent most of the time in the pool, but also played croquet, frisbee and explored the yard with the kids. There are many different indoor spaces, so lots of options for being in smaller or larger groups for visiting or doing things together -- such as billiards, ping pong, television, games. The locations is great. This is really a perfect place for a group like ours. And the caretaker, Sufia, was very helpful.

Beautiful property and home
We recently stayed at this beautiful property for a bachelorette party in wine country. The sprawling home and serene property were the ideal way to spend a weekend in Sonoma/Napa. Sufia, the house manager, was very flexible and easy to get in contact with. The house did disappoint with enough accommodations and space for a large group. We were able to easily access Napa and Sonoma and unwind in the heated pool at night. Overall great experience!!
