OUTSTANDING! Our entire vacation was amazing! The property and its management delivered on all of its promises! We highly recommend this beautiful home and its attentive team.

Loved it Great gem and great support. Loved the chef and the house. Inside outside delight. Only thing that could be improved is the beds!

We had Chef Kelly with us for 2 nights and the food was excellent. Nathaniel from DBL was our guide and driver for the wineries and we had a blast with him. The house had plenty of wine and food storage and the 5 bedrooms were perfect for the group. The main living area was a great place to hang out, drink some wine, watch Chef Kelly work his magic and listen to some music. We would absolutely stay here again. read less

The property is definitely remote and confusing/difficult to get to and from, but if you're looking for a getaway it's just right for you!

The team was communicative and did a good job making us aware of how out there the house was, so we appreciated that. read less

Chef Kelly welcomed us as if we were lifelong friends. Between his menu choices, table arrangements, food presentations and even joining in on an enduring, heartfelt toast, he made our first night absolute perfection. Beginning and ending our trip with Chef Kelly's expertise and presence was an excellent choice with rave reviews by all. read less

Beds were super comfy, pool was great, outdoor fire area was perfect. The shower heads could use a little love - the one in the primary bedroom was so big the arm couldn't hold it up no matter how hard I tried to secure it, so you had to squat down to wet your head. Water pressure was poor, but that's probably just how it is with well water. The well water was delicious though, right out of the tap. The all-white living room space was a little unnerving for wine country and kids, but we just tried to avoid it and hang outside mostly. Communication with the managers was excellent. read less

We enjoyed cooking in the gorgeous kitchen and taking advantage of all the amenities. The concierge was responsive and helpful in booking us wine tours, transportation, entertainment, and restaurants that could accommodate a group of our size with quite a few dietary requirements. Hope we can come back! read less

Besides being in the middle of wine country and on a Zen-like creek. The place is a recreation of a time in the past. The great camps of the Adirondacks. From the time you exit the main road and work your way up the hill, wow! You will be greeted by a caretaker and transported into the pass, but everything is new. Amazing creation and attention to detail. Every room had a theme and the space was LARGE from the greatroom, the billards room and patios the incredible bedrooms! We counted at least six bedrooms and 8baths! The camp area is above the house and hidden with spa and plunge pool- we also indulged with a chef (Kelly). - A MUST! The concierge service team was fabulous- setting dinners, wine tastings, cars, even outfitting house with an amazing wine list and foods. We have never had service or been in such a magical place! Ms. Spangler kudos and thank you! We will see you again C.H. read less

Although for some the taxidermy is a bit bizarre but oh so cool! The two floor open layout dramatic kitchen is the centerpiece of the house. The concierge hooked us up with a dream-chef, Chef Kelly's meals were amazing, he used mostly all his own grown vegetables and whipped up some major dinners plus he is so entertaining.

Only one negative, which really is fine if you are aware, the property is quite far out of the beaten-path. Hire drivers if you are wine tasting but stay in for great dinners. read less

The pictures don’t do the property justice - the experience in person is exceptional. The place is unbelievable.

The rooms were unique and comfortable. The setting and views are a huge plus for this property. We were a total of 7 couples traveling together to celebrate birthdays. Everyone had their own room and bathrooms which made it private and relaxing.

The host team had everything ready for the guests - anything you might need is likely available. We had a great and unforgettable experience.

Thank you for all the information given in advance and for your terrific customer service during our stay. The chef, bartender and cleaning team recommended by the hosts were fabulous - they went above and beyond.

All around a truly wonderful experience! read less

We were all in need of a getaway, and the St. Helena French Famhouse was perfection. The hosts were quick to respond and accommodating to our needs. The communication beforehand was great, including visual guidance for how to drive the last section up the mountain. On arrival, the hosts met us at the time we indicated, had the AC going, the pool ready, and lovely touches like lollipops for the kids and a perfect fruit display for us to enjoy. Each room is a special with unique design touches that delighted us all. The infinity pool is the showstopper of the home, and the majestic views while swimming or while lounging poolside will be a go-to “happy place” in future meditations and dreams. Once we were there, we did not want to leave and really there was no need to. The kitchen was well-stocked and easy to use with a thoughtful layout that any home cook or chef would enjoy. There were piles of magazines to peruse, tea and coffee to enjoy in the mornings, board games, and a fun media room where our kids spent most of their non-pool time. We found it very family-friendly. While the house is loaded with antiques and vintage pieces, they were sturdy enough that we did not fear accidental breakage. The showers were great, and the tub in the primary bath was easy and sumptuous. We dined inside and outside and enjoyed all locations, including a beautiful flower garden bursting with hydrangea. This is a slice of heaven on earth. We hope to return. read less

Everyone had their own bathroom, plenty of space around the house for people to enjoy each other or have time on their own. We used a company they recommended to have a chef come to the house one night. Then we had a bus drive us around to different wineries the next day. My only complaint, or something to be aware of is that it is 20 minutes of very curvy roads on the way there. Then once you get to the "driveway" of the house, it is about a 3 minute drive on a steep and curvy gravel road. This makes it a little challenging at night or even after going to a tasting or two. Otherwise the house is absolute perfection. read less

It was great for our 11 person group, but we would have benefited from renting four wheel drive cars to get there. We had a wonderful weekend, but were disappointed that we were not allowed to turn on the pool heater, or use the missing outdoor cushions allegedly due to a rain forecast, which of course never materialized. The kitchen is large and completely decked out for cooking, which we took advantage of. The garden would have come in handy later in the season, but the grounds were absolutely spectacular. The lookout deck provided fantastic views both east and west. read less

The only issue we had was our limo driver felt it was unsafe to drive up the mile or so dirt road to the house to pick us up for wine tasting. We had to shuttle everyone down to the main road in our SUV. I would certainly stay here again. read less

Clean, plenty of linens, for a rental home very well stocked chef's kitchen. We brought a private chef in and she even commented it was probably one of the best kitchens she had walked into for a rental house. We did a wine pairing dinner for 10 and had plenty of wine glasses! The view is spectacular. We got great use out of the hot tub and fire pit as it was very chilly during our stay. We will come back.
