Luxurious Arroyo Seco Estate with pool, vineyard, expansive vistas & more

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.

Loved it
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.

Beautiful historic family villa
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!

Exceeded expectations on all counts
Mesa del Sol is a unique, idyllic property where you don't have to go anywhere else to have a fabulous time. The majestic old oak trees, the different patio areas to enjoy the weather and the extraordinary views, the amazing swimming pool with two restrooms with showers, the well stocked and equipped kitchen, the hot tub, the outbuildings with their own beds and baths– can't imagine how it could be better. If you get a chance to visit the property and meet Gary and Stacey and sample the wines before your visit all the better. The wine is a great complement to your stay - taste the terroir under the shade of the oak tree. A very special place.

Beautifully appointed, maintained and gorgeous setting
We were a large group and the property was perfect for meeting all our varied needs with great places to both have some private time and plenty of places for smaller groups and privacy. Every room was perfectly clean and comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and in working order. Beautiful views, garden and pool. No complaints!

Magical Family Gathering!
Our whole family wanted an amazing California adventure and we got everything we dreamed of and more with this wonderful property. Beautiful views, comfortable rooms, great kitchen and multiple grills. The pool! The lazy-susan table under the oak tree! Chickens! A safari tent! Start to finish this was the best vacation rental we have ever found!

Can't wait to return
Mesa del Sol is idyllic. It is gorgeous, well maintained and more than delivers on the pictures shared. It was perfect for our family event 6 adults, 8 kids (ages 10-21). It was well worth the slightly long drive from Los Angeles.

Relaxed family gathering
Mesa del Sol was ideal for our family gathering. There are many areas to gather comfortably and enjoy the view of the canyon and the beautiful landscaping. The remoteness of the location was a plus for us because we didn't feel we had to go out sightseeing. We just stayed put and enjoyed the refreshingly cold pool and heating up in the sun.
