Used to be better

This is our second time staying. Since the last time they have done away with the free continental breakfast. The room did not seem extremely clean. There were cobwebs in the windows that had been there quite a while. Maid service never showed up for scheduled time. Had to request extra towels because we expected the room to be cleaned. We will look for other options going forward.

This property is beautiful! Very nicely landscaped. We did not get to do the wine tasting on site or eat at the restaurant because they close early, but we got a ride on their shuttle to their sister winery South Coast, which is very close and open later. It's also very close to Lorimar. The room service breakfast was delicious.

One of the best places to stay in wine country! Each room is private and quiet. A Large comfy bed, a fireplace and a soaking tub are perfect after a long day wining. They also have a small in room dining menu!

The room was the worst part about our stay. The carpet was just destroyed, stained and coming up. My wife stepped on a nail or staple, where the carpet was coming up. The balcony area was dirty, the TV was super small for the size of the room. Just feels like a few upgrades are definitely needed when you're spending $500 a night.

Celebrating my wife's birthday

The accommodations are very nice with spacious rooms and a very large bathroom including a large shower room and a large tub. Two sinks are provided. The king-sized beds are comfortable and there is a round dining table with a comfortable couch facing a large TV screen and electric fireplace. The outside sitting area facing the vineyard is very comfortable enjoying a glass of wine while watching the sun set . The pool are is very comfortable and adjacent to the outdoor Vineyard grill that servers lunch ,

The property itself is great. The girl who checked me in was super friendly and helpful. I was expecting the vineyard to be fully bloomed but I went in Feb. My only complaint was the bed. It was not comfortable at all. Other than that great place!!
