Beautiful 3,000 SF Castle in the Vineyards

This 3,000 sf private vacation getaway on one acre, across from hundreds of acres of vineyards, has the look of a castle with the feel of a luxurious estate. Both structures shown in the photographs are included and are connected by a hallway. Enjoy a state of the art kitchen (granite counters, new gas stove, refrigerator, large island with bar seating), two king bedroom suites as well as two other guest bedrooms (one with a queen bed and one with a full bed), large game room with full size pool table, and bar, and great outdoor areas with a private hot tub. Located in the center of the wine country: a short walk to Martin Ray Winery tasting everything from Cabernet to Chardonnay, dozens of other wineries within a few miles, only 15 to 20 minutes to Healdsburg, less than 5 minutes to a kayak launch site on the Russian River and 20 minutes to Bodega Bay.

Awesome Castle and beautiful settings amongst the redwood trees!
What a wonderful place to get away. Michael, the host was so friendly and told us the history of the castle. This was a four day getaway with friends and we would love to go back as soon as possible. The home was warm and cozy very unique. The amenities were perfect. first class beddings something you would expect in a five star hotel. Great kitchen with everything you can possibly need to prepare a meal.. We can’t wait to go back!

Wine week
6 of us spent 5 nights in wine country. We had a great time both wine tasting and sightseeing around the area. The host was very informative and gave great shook things to do in the area. The castle house was the unique place we were looking for. Everything was as listed, beds were comfortable and the kitchen area was well stocked. We enjoyed playing pool each night, something we don’t typically do. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun spot to stay when in wine country.

Lovely Sonoma
A unique property nestled in vineyards in the heart of wine country. The host, Michael, was very helpful even before we arrived, and upon arrival, gave a thorough orientation at the property. We appreciated all the advice about wineries to visit as well as some discount coupons. We had 4 wine tastings. shopped, ate great meals, visited the Charles Schulz musem, and had a little excursion to the ocean. All doable in 4 full days.

Vineyard wonder
Our group of 5 college classmates, celebrating our collective 65th birthday in the Sonoma Valley, enjoyed our stay at Castle House. Michael was a perfect host, meeting us at the house to check us in, show us around, and offer tips on things to do and places to stay. The kitchen worked well for us, and the outside spaces were fabulous. The location is central to *everything* that Sonoma Valley has to offer, yet it is quiet and rural and beautiful. Note that the 4th bedroom is not for the faint of heart - as shown by the pictures, it is significantly away from the rest of the house (though easily reached by the connecting passage), and the half bathroom attached to it has quite a low ceiling clearance. If you only need 3 bedrooms and not 4, the house is a perfect charmer.

A stay in the castle
I booked the castle for its quirky title, interesting pictures, location & its size (we had a pretty big group). Michael Ray, and partner Kristen were lovely. Michael met us upon arriving to the castle. He gave us a history of the house, and more than a few great suggestions for places to visit, wine tastings and activities. Honestly the BEST experience with a host EVER! He put the icing on a wonderful vacation cake!

What a charming place. Loved the area and the proximity to so many things to do. Michael gave some amazing recommendations on where to go and what restaurants were his favourites. We came down for our 25th with our two kids and two other dear friends. Would come back again.

Delightful, eccentric aspects in an exceedingly comfortable and generously proportioned property! Met upon arrival by very welcoming and knowledgeable host (who also kindly lent me a guitar👌🌟❗️) who shared history of house and area. — Seriously — Whatever I say will not adequately convey how much we all enjoyed staying here: We are all already plotting how and when to return...

Perfect location for a biking tour of Sonoma!
Wonderful property. It feels like you're in a secluded location since you're surrounded by towering redwoods! This place is centrally located in the valley and was a great location to cycle out from! Michael is a fantastic host and spends as much time with you as needed to make sure you know where to go in the area.

castle (noun as in magnificent home, often for royalty)
We rented the castle for 5 nights. The location was perfect between the Charles Schultz Airport and Memorial Hills Cemetery. Lots of beautiful areas on property for family photos. Super quite location. Got a kick out of listening to the coyotes.The home was clean and accomodated 7 adults perfectly. The owners were very friendly and met us at the home to walk us through and answer any questions. The beds were very clean and comfortable. Lots of amenities that we were able to use. Saved us from traveling with so much extras. Hot tub was very nice.The kids enjoyed the party room with pool table. Thank you from our family.

Charming house in the midst of vineyards
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 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.

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!

Kids loved it!
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.
