“Danehill manor is an one-of-a-kind, magical place that I cannot believe such place exists within 45 mins from SF. There is a pool, bbq, barn, highly functional tree house that can sleep guests with its own bathroom.
The tranquil environment is transformative. You cannot find such experience in a normal big brand resort. You are in the mountains but yet you are surrounded by water.
Karin and her sons are fantastic hosts who are generous enough to invite guests to the dreamland that Karin created from scratch. Her horses really add to the entire unique serene experience. From their story sharing, Karin is an inspirational person who has built her life and dreams from being a focused business woman and leader.
This place has so much potential to host beautiful but intimate events or leadership meetups. My family had an absolutely wonderful time there! I would highly recommend family gatherings and corporate events at Danehill Manor.”
“The second my husband and I pulled in I knew OVE was our venue. I was raised in Sonoma County, and I was so shocked that I never knew about this gem of a place! We have had an insane year so far in terms of weather and right down to the wedding morning, we were worried about rain, but our day was absolutely PERFECT. Everything was so lush and green, the grounds were impeccable, and their staff handled everything they promised and more! The best part for my husband and I is that OVE insists on supporting local vendors. All that we cared about was that our wedding felt like us and that our guests truly got a taste of Sonoma County, and OVE delivered just that. From the willows at the pond, the Victorian house cocktail hour and the dreamiest barn... every single moment was absolute perfection. Additionally, the OVE team works so regularly with our caterers and wedding coordinator that they were a completely well-oiled machine. There were minimal questions, decisions or concerns for my husband and I, as they all had a game plan from the second we decided on our vendors! They made everything SO EASY. In the last 40 minutes of our wedding, our coordinator let me know it had finally started to rain, and we both laughed knowing how lucky we were the weather held out all day... but even better than that, when we went to board shuttles at the end of the night, the OVE staff was waiting with umbrellas to escort our guests. The level of service they offer is insane! I admit, booking OVE is not inexpensive but with that said, for everything they deliver to make your day perfect, they are worth every penny and then some! As I bask in the glow of our fairytale of a day, knowing how hard their staff works and how much pride they take in their property, I would have gladly paid double.”

“What a beautiful spot! We were so close hiking and beaches, and town too. The restaurant that is part of the hotel was quite good too. We loved the cornhole game and fire pit area. The room was quite pleasant and had a sweet balcony, great WiFi, beds etc. only real issue was steep stairs in the room itself- if older or you have physical limitations ask for a regular room with no steps. Otherwise all good- wine and coffee included:)”
“Had the best of stays at Marconi Lodge. The first clue it was one step up from the average stay was that everything had a Marconi Lodge label on it.
Everything was provided and then some. Fridge, lock box, great soaps and shampoos, slippers, bathrobes. They even have free yoga on Sat and free S'mores for their large fire at night.”
