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. Teddy Roosevelt once stayed here and we hope you will as well!

Perfect for family reunions, company retreats, intimate weddings, yoga retreats, girls’ weekends, wilderness bonding trips, and other events. Book today and start planning your unforgettable occasion.

    Our group had the most amazing time at this incredibly beautiful property! We had ample room, the kitchen and all the accommodations were so well stocked and supplied it felt like we were home. And with our crew who love to cook, that's impressive! Spectacular views, gorgeous property, delicious wine. Stars and sky that go on forever. Stargazing was a highlight. The kids loved the chickens and the garden is gorgeous and impressive. The heat wave during the time we were there reached a soaring 112 degrees one day. We stayed cool in the pool and shade, and the house was kept at a very comfortable temperature by opening the windows at night and closing them and drawing the shades by mid-late morning. Gary was easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. Mesa Del Sol is a real gem, full of magic. We can't wait to return to make more memories.

    Great property if you're looking for rest and relaxation, privacy and space to stretch out (outdoors) for a large group. Lots of outdoor seating, grassy areas, dirt basketball court, large well-kept outdoor pool, hot tub with expansive views. Our extended family of teens, adults and elders enjoyed our time together. The VRBO listing says "luxurious" but that is only part-true. While the main house has a great master bedroom with view and nice bathroom, the main house only sleeps 8. For larger parties you use the other 2 buildings, each sleeps 4, and these would be better described as rustic and/or campy (darker, dusty, small, bugs). The bathroom in our building "the Stone House" was small, no room on the sink for any toiletries, and the shower dark and small (and my son had to dispense with bugs in the shower). We preferred to shower at the pool shower which had more light. Also, there was no wifi in our building. The main house kitchen is well-stocked, roomy, with higher-end appliances. We spent most of our time in the kitchen, dining nook, dining room and outdoors (large terrace, pool). The main house living room is dimly lit. Overall a nice experience if you stay in the main house and outdoors, and a rustic experience for those who have to sleep in the extra buildings. The host Gary was very communicative and responsive. The hosts have a winery and offered their wine to us for purchase for a discount.

    Amazing property. Well appointed. So clean. We stayed for a famiky reunion with 14 adults and a group of kids from infant to 7years old and it was the perfect place to stay. The kids had a blast. The outdoor grill was so fun. The pool was heated! Gary was so easy to communicate with. We will be back! Highly recommend!

    A remote getaway, perfect for a family trip. We traveled with three families and the kids were never bored. The views and outdoor communal spaces were idillic. It was hard to leave.

    We stayed at Gary's place for a friend's bachelor party. The home was beautiful, the property was serene and it was a short drive from pinnacle national park which was also a great trip. Highly recommend staying here.

    This home is better described as a villa, with a sprawling main house and two cozy adjacent cottages. You can tell this was a place Teddy Roosevelt stayed, it has a sense of gravitas. Overlooking the Arroyo Seco river valley, the views are majestic with well-placed outlooks with nice comfortable chairs. The tree swing is an amazing touch, and our kids had endless imaginative play sitting in the old red truck! Nicely placed hot tub over the valley and for stargazing. Much space for play and tree climbing. And the 40 minute drive to Pinnacles was worth it for a majestic hike, and the drive was pretty. This is an incredibly special place for those who would appreciate these characteristics. It’s a place to be treated with care. Thank you for opening it to guests!
