About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Mountaintop open home living-pool, hot tub & views!

My home is in the heart of Mendocino wine country, just minutes from the town of Ukiah and 1hr 40min from SF. You'll love this property's open floorplan, clean home with spectacular mountaintop views taken in while lounging, eating, hot tubbing, and even showering (heated shower) poolside on a 21 acre property good for short walks and picnics. Has 3-4 acre fenced in area perfect for pets! Home is great for couples, small groups of friends, families and kids and pets. Deck hot tub for 6 overlooks scenic valley!

The space

The house has a bright open kitchen floor plan with incredible views out panel sized windows and sliding glass doors. Perfect for seamless indoor/outdoor living on the 2000 square foot south-southeast facing redwood deck with a pool, hot tub, gas grill and even an outdoor shower!

A 6 person hot tub on the deck overlooking the scenic Bell Valley is great in any weather. The spa is cleaned and treated every week.

The kitchen is newly remodeled farmhouse style with new appliances and deep sink, and an island with a stovetop, designed for eating and socializing during cooking.

There is a 400-foot long dirt and rock driveway up to the house, steep in parts, that can be intimidating for drivers not used to driving on rural dirt roads. It is smoothed and re-rocked every year and is accessible to front-wheel drive vehicles, however for vehicles without 4 wheel drive, you may likely experience some tire spin driving up, plus cars will collect dust from the road, especially in the late summer and early fall before the first rains of the fall. If this is something that you are not comfortable with we advise that you do not book the house. Our cleaners drive front-wheel drive sedans up the driveway on a regular basis all year without difficulty, so it is accessible for non 4 wheel drive vehicles but drivers with minimal experience on rural roads may be reluctant so be please be advised that you may experience tire spin while going up the driveway. We provide additional guidance on driving up (drive up with momentum, in low automatic gear) and are happy to answer any questions to prospective guests but please be advised that, again, the driveway to the house is a steep, dirt and rock road when deciding to book. You are always welcome to park some or all vehicles along the bottom section of our private driveway above lower gate for walking or shuttling a second car if you feel more comfortable only driving a four wheel drive vehicle up the driveway.

Pool is a weekly cleaned and treated unheated pool exposed to direct sunlight almost the whole day with a solar cover. The pool can be warm enough to swim into October and early as April depending on how hot or cold the recent weather has been and whether/how much it has rained recently. We have a heated outdoor shower right next to the pool. The pool is winterized from November-March because the water temperature is typically quite cool. Lovely Mediterranean plants dot the hillside next to the deck including blooming olive trees and lavender. Deck edge facing downhill is secured with fencing with other sides open to flat or gently-sloped ground or short set of stairs. There are steep hills once off the deck so small children will require supervision. There is a Weber barbecue grill at the house perfect for outdoor grilling and eating.

Master bedroom has a king size brand new memory foam mattress, wall mounted flat screen with cable and Netflix. It has windows overlooking the mountains valley and a sliding glass door directly onto the deck next to the pool. The master bathroom has a shower and raised bathtub, with two separate sinks. The second bedroom has a brand new queen size memory foam mattress and direct access to the second bathroom with a window that looks onto the garden.

There is a new queen-size Aerobed and a comfortable futon sleeper sofa for use in the very large sized family room for additional guests.

The house has a new washer and drier, new dishwasher, and full cell phone coverage and high speed wifi internet access. The house is also stocked with books, games and some toys.

Guest Access

Guests have access to the full private access 21 acre property of lovely, mature California oak and Manzanita trees savannah hillsides which includes a 3-4 acre fenced in area for pets. Please close driveway gate upon entry and exit to prevent deer from coming in and eating the plants near the house. The house and deck and nearly all of the property offer full privacy with neighboring properties' homes at quite a distance away. A good walk on the property is to walk up the hillside just outside the manual gate. Towards the top of the property you can find a bench on a flatter area that is great for picnics, with lovely views of the Ukiah Valley.
I am available via phone, text and email to answer any questions or provide support.

Other notes

Mendocino County Guest Tax (included in the cost of your stay):
The county requires any short term lodging host (hotel, camping, B&Bs, VRBOs) to collect an 11% Transient Occupancy Tax based on the stay charge excluding cleaning and service charge fees. Payment is collected by VRBO and paid by the host to the county.

The neighborhood

The house is very private on 21 acres, with similar large acreage properties of friendly full time resident neighbors. Please be respectful to our close community of neighbors by not hosting any parties and by maintaining reasonable volume levels as sound does travel up and down the mountainside and valley.

Within 5-10 minutes of the house, you can find excellent visitor friendly Mendocino County winery estates including food and live music in the Ukiah Valley. The town of Ukiah has great restaurants and weekly outdoor events in summer. The City of Ten Thousand Buddhas is a Buddhist temple and monastery nearby that is worth visiting.

The house is also right off of Boonville Road which is a lovely roughly 15 mile drive to the adjacent Anderson Valley wine district. The quaint towns of Boonville, Philo and Navarro in the heart of the Anderson Valley AVAs have world class wineries specializing in pinot noir, chardonnay, syrah, and sparkling wines, as well as excellent restaurants. The pioneering craft beer Anderson Valley Brewery has a tap room and offers daily tours. There are several wine and other festivals throughout the year in the Anderson Valley and Ukiah Valley.

Getting around

There is plenty of parking in the circle driveway next to the home. The lower gate remains open while the upper gate next to the garden shed is to keep deer out of the plants near the house and allow pets to have a confined space to roam so please make sure the gate is securely closed after each entry and exit. Access to Highway 101 is less than five minute drive to and from the house. Please be advised that as most places in nature in Northern California there is always the risk of ticks for your pets and yourselves, so you should be sure and check yourselves and your pets after trips out into the property and nature.

Relaxing and private
Emir's house was exactly what we needed after our 3 days of camping. It has a nice open layout and wrap around deck that makes the most out of the pool and hot tub area, with a beautiful view across the valley while being completely private and quiet. Everything was clean, well stocked, and worked as instructed, including the A/C thankfully. I could see regular 2WD cars having a hard time with the entry road, but it wasn't an issue with our 4WD truck. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.

Beautiful property! Much larger than the pictures, both the interior and exterior. Spent almost all of our time in the yard enjoying the pool, hot tub, and views. Kitchen was well-stocked with cooking supplies. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing getaway with easy access to amenities!
My wife and I have an annual tradition of spending a long weekend in Ukiah, and this is by far the best property we’ve rented in the area. Clean, well-maintained, great amenities, tons of privacy, comfortable and a fantastic host all combine to make this a top notch stay!

Just as expected
We had a lovely time at the house in Ukiah. It was everything we had hoped, with an inviting open kitchen and awesome pool area off the master bedroom. Loved being able to let our dog off leash and be certain she wouldn't get lost or in trouble on the large property. Loved star gazing at night and hot tubbing early in the morning before getting into the pool. We had everything we needed and enjoyed scoping out Ukiah on our way out of town. Would definitely stay again. Even floated it for an upcoming family visit as an option.

Awesome spot just off the beaten path.
Amazing place to spend time with friends and family. Only issue is the driveway to the property can be a little sketchy. Definitely bring a good driver or four-wheel drive car. But other than that this property is unbelievable... has plenty of extra blankets and pillows for everyone. Pool is as refreshing as can be and the hot tub is amazing at night while you're relaxing. Also one of the best spice rack selections I've ever seen. Especially at a Rental. Thank you so much. Would definitely recommend a friend.

Great Getaway!
We loved our time at Emir's spot up on the hill. Everything was lovely and the location is unbeatable. The house was clean, well appointed and had everything we could have wanted. We were warmly welcomed with a thorough and complete orientation letter from Emir. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing views, great house
We had a great stay this past weekend and can't wait to go back! The views are beautiful out of every window and the sunsets were gorgeous. We hung out on the large deck with hot tub and nice furniture. The house itself was spotless, we have two little crawling babies and didn't worry about cleanliness at all. The beds were comfy, the dog loved wandering the property. What can we say, it was perfect!

Great Scenic Getaway
Our family had a wonderful week away! The property is very private with amazing views, perfect to get away from it all while still being close enough to town to pick up anything you need. Being able to look out over the rolling hills from the pool and hot tub is especially nice. If we’re ever in the area again we’d definitely book another stay here!
