Beltane Ranch

Frommer's Review

The word ranch conjures up an image of a big ol' two-story house amid hundreds of rolling acres -- the kind of place where you laze away the day watching the grass grow or pitching horseshoes in the garden. Well, friend, you can have all that and more at the well-located Beltane Ranch, a century-old buttercup-yellow manor that has been everything from a bunkhouse to a brothel to a turkey farm. You simply can't help but feel your tensions ease away as you prop up your feet on the shady, wraparound porch overlooking the quiet vineyards and sip a cool, fruity chardonnay while reading Lonesome Dove for the third time. Each room is uniquely decorated with American and European antiques; all have sitting areas and separate entrances. A big, creative country breakfast is served in the garden or on the porch overlooking the vineyards. For exercise, you can play tennis on the private court or hike the trails meandering through the 105-acre estate. The staff here is knowledgeable and helpful. Tip: Request one of the upstairs rooms, which have the best views.
