About this house rental
Sitting high on a mesa, this private sun-filled estate encompasses 14 acres in the Arroyo Seco Highlands overlooking the Arroyo Seco River Canyon and the Ventana Wilderness. Once the site of an early California wellness retreat and a stagecoach stop, the estate sets the vibe for a place to get away from it all! The entire property has been lovingly restored including:
A fully stocked country kitchen
Lush ornamental gardens with fruit trees
A 55-foot heated pool
A park-like setting with large open social and play areas and shady pergolas
2 charcoal BBQs & a propane grill
Enjoy a glass of Mesa Del Sol wine while you take in magnificent views in every direction of the winding Arroyo Seco River and surrounding mountain wilderness. Guests are welcome to collect fresh eggs daily from our chickens and harvest from the organic garden and numerous fruit trees. Kids can run free on the expansive green lawns, bring their own floats to splash in the pool, swing to the heavens from the 300-year-old oak tree swing or toddler swingset, and watch the wildlife at every turn. The whole family can try their skills in a competitive game of basketball, volleyball, croquet, and even (faux) ax throwing.
The front acreage is devoted to the organic vineyard producing award-winning wines including Syrah, Zinfandel, Sangiovese, and Grenache. A pond adds nutrients to the vineyard for our sustainable organic farming practices with fascinating wildlife viewing from the dock. Our wines are available at a discount to our guests for tasting and sale, which supports our working vineyardStep back into a special place and time during your stay at Mesa Del Sol with its history-filled legacy and peaceful, easy feeling within the golden hills and canyon of the Arroyo Seco Appellation.

The property location is on a mesa at the edge of the Arroyo Seco with a beautiful view up and down the gorge. Toward the end of May, the water was visible down in the river. We saw a bald eagle, wild pigs (on the opposite side of the Arroyo) and numerous birds. If you enjoy nature, you will love relaxing in the hot tub or sitting in one of the several seating areas that overlook the gorge. It is magical on mornings before the mist clears. There were sixteen in our group and main house has a wonderful spacious living room that fit us all comfortably for group activities. Seating in the kitchen and dining room also accommodated us all for meals. The kitchen was very well equipped. We brought in all our own food and we found adequate space for it in the two refrigerator. I would advise asking to see the floor plan of bedrooms in advance if you have a large group so you can plan where people will be accurately. I slept in the Glamping Tent and really enjoyed it after we fixed the electrical connection for lights (check the hot tub breakers) and I got two more blankets. For those who want to lounge and read and meditate there are beautiful places to do that. For those who want more activity, you can enjoy swimming, badminton, corn hole, ball, etc. Access to the river is just 4 miles down the road to left as you pull out of the driveway. Every one had a great time and would like to go back.

This estate is absolutely amazing, waking up to the sunrise in the Gorge is breathtaking. You walk into the kitchen and you feel like you are at your grandmother's house, all amenities are provided for, pots, pans, baking goods and utensils. Our favorite was being able to get fresh eggs every morning and fresh herbs from the property. The wine is superb! I would highly recommend this oasis in wine country.

Loved it! Do not pack any type of kitchen appliance or spice, they had everything truly. We loved the fresh produce on site and made use of every inch of the property. Perfect for our family reunion! (14 adults, three kids)

Property is beautiful with a great view out over the canyon. We made good use of the pool, hot tub, and all of the outdoor hangout areas. Wines were excellent too. Highly recommended.
