The property was being remodeled. I got there and was told, after calling the owner a couple of times before getting a return call, that the reservation was made in error. It was a busy holiday weekend. I had to find another place to stay which I did but it was farther from where I wanted to be and with no view or ambience at a higher rate.

This was an awful experience for me and my children!!! Upon arrival we were told we needed to leave and it was a scam. The current owners said they have had a few people show up unexpectedly. They said this place is no longer a bed and breakfast, and it is their home. I only talked to one person on the phone that said we were at the wrong place. He also said the water at the place was not working, so he was going to find a place to relocate us! This is all just crazy. I spoke with someone online from Expedia after that. This place needs to be off your listings!

Arrived several hours after check-in only to find a horrible smell in the room. Previous guests had left old food and melted ice cream in mini fridge. Couldn't unpack until sometime cleaned up. Finally made it to the poolbut haff ro wait for 2 guys ro finish cleaning it. Owner made us aware of a party to take place on property, but we wouldn't hear anything. Woke up to a party in the house @2am outside our door. Owner did not answer phone till 3am when he ended the party. One thing after another! We left next morning and owner prednisone a complete refund. This was 2 months ago and after 10 phone calls and many promises, we have not received a refund!

Disappointing

The location of this property is good near a vineyard with good views of the valley and vineyard but it stops there. The room had no privacy with a shower facing 2 large windows with a walkway adjacent outside and curtains that would not close. The water pressure was so bad that the bathroom was difficult to use. Bed and furniture was very old and on their last leg.

We enjoyed the large rooms and full beds that we were able to use for our family. Very nice location and Milton the host was very nice. The only issue we had was figuring out how to actually get to the property. Google maps led us to a gate that no one would answer. After calling and talking to the host we figured that out. I would recommend some kind of sign to the location to avoid this and talk to Milton before driving there.

Very disappointing stay. Dirty property, was booked for a 6 person room that wasn't ready upon arrival...I'm pretty sure the owner just went in and made the bed and didn't clean anything else. To make things worse, the room didn't sleep 6! We were given a closet for other guests to sleep in with a wall that overlooked another guests living quarters. So bizarre, would not recommend.

Stormy Mountain

Not the Bed and Breakfast experience I wanted or paid for. My room was given to another guest. I paid for that particular room and, meals, and welcome drinks. We got none of the above. The house is beautiful and we did enjoy the pool and jacuzzi by ourselves for awhile. Poor water pressure and raw meat left on stove most of the day. There are neat restaurants to eat at in Old California Restaurant Row and the Winery across the road was great. The host needs to follow through with what the guests paid for.

It is someone’s house which needs to be a lot better kept, it dirty inside the room. No towels or toilet paper, the heater they brought us because it was cold was an air purifier not a heater. Tv didn’t work there was one channel.
