This Wine Country home is luxury stay and home comforts all wrapped up in one. With arty themed bedrooms, a sunroom office, and an outdoor kitchen and barbecue, you'll feel right at home. But the main bathroom with a soaking tub and cedar sauna – plus the option to arrange a private chef and daily housekeeping – really make for those luxurious finishing touches. It's a short walk into downtown Petaluma, where you'll find great restaurants and boutiques to browse, and a thirty-minute drive to the coast and Sonoma's iconic vineyards. 

Golden Blossom

In the heart of California's famous wine country, this home makes an excellent first impression. It's hard not to be captivated by the mountain views, and you'll be able to enjoy them from the expansive patio, private pool, and hot tub. There's even a bocce ball court to keep things competitive. Inside, the design is equal parts cosy and contemporary. Beamed ceilings and roaring fireplaces add a rustic touch, but amenities-wise, it's got all the mod-cons – an office for remote working, a Peloton bike for workouts, and a soaker bath for unwinding. Factor in the location close to Napa, Sonoma, and the region's many vineyards, and you'll see why it caught our eye.

Cabernet & Clover

Combine convenience and comfort with a stay in the penthouse of the Ritz-Carlton at Northstar, the only AAA Five Diamond mountain hotel in California. Occupying the hotel’s top floor, this eight-guest penthouse apartment offers privacy and tranquility, along with full access to the hotel’s facilities. Get straight out on the slopes from the ski concierge, before blowing off steam at the 17,000 square foot spa and fitness centre and rounding off the day with fine dining at the on-site Manzanita restaurant. Designed with family in mind, the penthouse has your evening entertainment sorted with four flat screen HDTVs and premium cable TV on offer, while the luxury kitchen – complete with espresso machine, wine chiller, and granite countertops – is the perfect place to whip up a culinary storm. Beyond the resort, Lake Tahoe is just a 15-minute drive away.

Polaris

This cosy and quiet condo in the heart of a pine forest in a mountainous Californian resort is perfect for those looking for a low-key holiday in the countryside, as well as groups on the hunt for something more active. There are a wealth of sports and activities at your doorstep: cross-country skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking – you name it, they've got it. If none of that takes your fancy, the house itself is perfect for hunkering down by the fire. The granite fireplace and picturesque wooden balcony truly make this a home for all seasons.

The Northstar

Petite yet perfectly equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay, this bright home in Pacifica is ready to welcome you into a blissful coastal break. With its large windows, there’s plenty of California sun that pours in creating a dazzling effect against the neutral decor that’s sprinkled with reclaimed wood. There's a harmony here between the natural world and modern sophistication to create a home that is as sleek as it is serene. The bedroom, meanwhile, is pared-yet and wonderfully comfortable, while the bathroom’s rainfall shower is a treat to wake up to each day. Our favourite spot, however, is the wraparound balcony – the ideal place to sip your morning coffee or watch the sunset over the mountains over a glass of wine.  Outside of your home, you’ve got plenty of cute surf shops and cafes on your way to Pacifica State Beach (a ten-minute walk) – a favourite for surfers, photographers and nature enthusiasts – while San Francisco waits to be explored, just twenty minutes away by car. 


Sycamore Cove

Perched on a private ridge, we invite you to take a lungful of some of the purest air in mainland USA and step inside this charming single-storey home, which enjoys spectacular views over its 14-acre vineyard and the pristine waters of Clear Lake.

Everything about this elegantly designed building aims to accentuate the natural beauty on the doorstep. A wall of clear glass panes slides back to reveal a front-row set of six Adirondack seats where you can sit and take in the vista. This expansive wooden deck also includes an outdoor dining table and is bookended by an inviting infinity pool at one end and a Jacuzzi at the other – perfect for cooling daytime dips or sundowner soaks.

The effortless flow between the exterior and interior continues throughout the home, with a vast multipurpose space forming the nucleus around which all things entertainment, socialisation and food-related rotate. We can easily imagine an early start for a challenging hike along the trails that crisscross the nearby countryside, or a paddleboarding session out on the water, before returning home for a relaxing day by the pool with a glass of cab sav in hand, only getting up to top up your glass and grab snacks the kitchen.

A Life On the Water

It’s easy to see why this beautiful home has been featured in magazines including Martha Stewart Living – it’s stunning. The professional pastry chef homeowner has designed the kitchen as the heart of the home, and there’s a real focus on the shared living spaces. This is an excellent home-from-home for a group wanting to spend quality time together, whether you’re whipping up a feast and dining under the stars, or unwinding on the bocce court. In the foothills of Mount Tamalpais, this home is close to hiking trails, and the restaurants, art galleries, and shops of Downtown Mill Valley are just a short drive away. It’s the perfect spot for a getaway. 

Redwood Hideaway

In the business hub of Fair Oaks, near the Facebook HQ, this flash apartment sits in a building filled with amenities. If you’re not hitting the building’s private gym, perhaps take a jog through Bedwell Bayfront Park, a five-minute walk away. For a day out in the city, San Francisco is just a half-hour drive away (or fifty minutes on the train from Redwood). 

Apart from a private gym, the building is also home to a huge outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by outdoor lounges with fire pits for cool evenings. There are myriad cafés and lounges inside, and a plush barbecue area outside on the deck too. The apartment itself is big and bright, with modern artworks popping against gallery-white walls. The living room is made for unwinding, but there’s also a laptop-friendly desk should you need to work remotely. The full kitchen is crowned with a sleek, white breakfast bar, providing plenty of space to prep meals.   

Fair of Face

Breathe in the fresh outdoors when you stay in this home. This down-to-earth two-bedroom home instantly feels cosy on arrival and the two sitting rooms make it ideal for a family. We love the rustic interior, with its wood finishes and vintage posters. Lake Tahoe's picturesque landscape is never far away, so appreciate the beautiful mountain views straight from your balcony.

The great location of this residence puts you within one mile of Incline Beach, where you can enjoy a stunning stretch of golden beach, azure waves, and green pine under the Tahoe sun. You absolutely must visit Lake Tahoe National Park, which features the shimmering lake, beautiful woodland scenery, and various fantastic trails for you to experience. After a busy day out exploring the area, head home to savour a barbecue feast on the balcony, before cosying up on comfortable sofas with the kids and playing a board game or watching the TV in front of the fire.


Creek & Glen

Overlooking beautiful Donner Lake, which sits on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, guests will find a home that will perfectly suit a small family.  The first bedroom has a king-size bed, while bedroom two is made up of a queen-size bunk bed. More importantly, guests have easy access to the lake so make sure to pack your swimsuits and any floating devices. Wander around the edge of the lake and you'll come across charming cafes, restaurants and shops. We would, however, still recommend having a car in order to explore all this area has to offer.

Lake Days

With the magic of the sea, sun, and stars surrounding you at Half Moon Bay, this incredible home is the perfect weekend retreat for a family, only twenty minutes away from San Fransisco. Charge the Tesla at the EV charging station and then explore the trails of the National Forest backing the house or pack your beach bag and stop by the Pacific Ocean, a fifteen-minute stroll away. Sip on sundowners whilst soaking in the hot tub and watch the sunset over the ocean. As the stars speckle the sky, light the fire pit to keep the night going. Kids will be thrilled with the tree-house style bunk beds, a playroom packed with laser tag and a mountain of lego, the big screen projector in the den and the virtual reality set-up. Outside, this place has the wood-tiled cladding and white bannisters of a traditional Bay Area home, but the curved wall of windows in the double-height living room creates a modern feel. A chef’s kitchen comes equipped with more than you need for self-catering – there’s a chef’s torch for those who fancy whipping up a creme brulee – and a collection of spices, oils and condiments are yours to use. Should you need to catch up on some work, there are a plethora of modern office spaces tucked away too. 

The Curve of the Moon

Wonderfully positioned to make the most of this coastal area – this home is a nine-minute walk from Pacifica State Beach. The jagged coastline caters to a whole range of visitors, from surfers who like to ride the bay's impressive waves to photographers keen on catching the beautiful light. Or go for a hike on Shelter Cove Beach, a six-minute stroll away. There's an array of surf shops and some fantastic local eateries on your doorstep too. For a more action-packed day trip, San Francisco and all it has to offer is just a twenty-five-minute drive from this home. Chic, coastal-inspired interiors, polished concrete floors, and vast windows make it a delight to stay here. We love the vistas over Pedro Point from the living room and balcony – enjoy a glass of Californian rosé wine while enjoying the views. Later whip up a Clam Chowder in the kitchen before relaxing on the comfy sofa – this place is all about unwinding.
