| Marcie was great to work with! We booked at the last minute and she took care of us. The place was great. Cooked in all nights, enjoyed dinner on the deck over looking the vineyards and lakes. The house had everything you could want for your stay and was very well spread out so multiple couples were very comfortable. Thanks Marcie for all your help. |

We had such a nice time RELAXING at the home! We had big plans to visit many wineries and explore Napa, but spent most of our time in and around the pool. McKenna enjoyed Bocce Ball and walking the trail to the lake. Riley was a big fan of the home floor plan-walking around and pointing things out to us.
We enjoyed long naps and a glass of wine by the pool.
This is our first time away from the main drag of Napa-what a great area! We really enjoyed the views and peace.
Thanks for sharing your home with us.

We had a great stay. Everybody really liked the house(s) and property. It was very peaceful and quite beautiful. The pool was particularly nice on the weekend when the temperature was in the 90s. The weather the rest of the week was just about perfect... thanks for that!
We walked up the road to the end almost every morning... just over three miles round trip. We saw deer and lots of interesting birds including some turkeys.
We played bocce ball too. I am happy to report that there were no serious domestic disputes since it was the guys vs. the gals.
We went to San Francisco one day to see the world-famous Bush Man and eat sand dabs at Scoma's. Also, drove over to Sonoma one day to visit some of the wineries there. We tasted lots of nice wines but none any better as the excellent bottle you left for us; it was much appreciated and enjoyed.
Thanks for everything, Marcie. We highly recommend Dos Lagos for anybody seeking a lovely and peaceful get-away in the heart of California wine country.
Best regards,
Dave

Dear Marcie,
Our stay was perfect; we just loved the property. We spent a lot of time there, as it turned out, playing games, barbequeing, etc. We loved our walks around the lakes and down and up Atlas Peak Rd. The birds were wonderful company. We did wine taste at some select wineries, but it was hard to leave our beautiful spot. The whole experience was just what we were looking for. Thanks,

We certainly enjoyed our stay at your house. It is an immaculately kept house, something that we appreciate very much. The location is super, up the road from Napa, yet so close in all important aspects; the privacy is a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of Napa/Sonoma below. The visit to Susan's place was an amazing insight into the highest levels of boutique winemaking. Our only regret is that we did not have the time to explore the area in more detail- there is easily a month's worth of visiting wineries, restaurants, galleries, etc. Next time, eh?
The style of the house is the perfect antidote to the cross-country ordeal of all-the-same hotels and and chain eateries. We were able to cook and grille whatever, and totally relax. Lots of birds, gorgeous pool, the ambiance of the grapevines, the list goes on and on. Even the vineyard workers, who might ordinarily be deemed a disturbance, merely added to the authenticity of the entire experience.
We truly hope to be able to stay in your place again in the not-to-distant future.

The house, the view, the entire set up was great! It was perfect for four couples and we are already trying to figure out how to all get back there again next year.
Thank you again, and we look forward to hopefully talking with you again next year.

Marcie,
Everything has worked out great and the place is fantastic!
The house is amazing! We felt very secluded yet were close to anything we could need.
Beautiful grounds with spectacular views.
Thank you!
We have to ask, what kind of sheets do you have in the master bedroom and where did you get them? It makes it very tough to get out of bed in the morning.

What a wonderful property for a family get together! The views of the lakes are so peaceful. The weather is perfect, the house is perfect and the pool is enjoyed by all.
The gas barbeque with a view of the vineyards makes cooking dinners easy and fun.
Thanks for having some of the basic food/drink here - that was a big help.
We couldn't have found a better spot for our vacation!

Thank you for a delightful get away. The setting is so gorgeous, the rooms so spacious, and the king-sized beds an unexpected pleasure.
This is our 5th "womens" weekend-we do this once a year. And this was one of our best.
Thank you Marcie-you made everything so easy.

So lovely...hard to believe we're only an hour or two from the City. Loved the rolling hills, the shady trees, the perfect light...
Our kids loved the pool and badminton/basketball court.
May you enjoy many more years of this wonderful place and many more happy visitors!

This trip has exceeded my expectations in so many ways. One of the gems is the location of the house, high on a hill, with only the sounds of the breeze and the birds. Truly peaceful and restorative. I loved the Napa area and understand why people give up "all" and come here to plant roots and wine.
Thanks,
Helane

We appreciated the simple beauty of the surroundings, a far cry from our usual routine. This area of Napa is a gem, the weather and the people are pleasant and offered us a much-enjoyed relaxing break from our lives in N.Y. City.
Thanks,

The trip was one that I have wanted to make for a long time. Thankfully, it was a trip that I was able to share with my friends. The house offered what was needed, which was Relaxation, Peace and a Stillness of time that allowed both body and mind to stop, take a long deep breath and, if only for a brief few days, close out the world to all but the few we enjoy being with.
Thank you.
