What a beautiful place! I loved the TinyHome Concept and the Napa River behind each TinyHome. You also have a balcony, pool, sauna and playroom. There are BBQs in different areas around the property. It is not rich in amenities but are not needed. This is a place to rest, write a book or just disconnect. It is also safe. CONS-I would have appreciated a hot breakfast.
