  Disapointed when we arrived but ended up loving this place

  We were disappointed when arriving at the property to see it was a single-wide trailer, however after spending some time there, we fell in love with the property. The house was fine, the waking up to a peaceful morning was great, roosters, goats and all. The only down fall of the weekend was the Lazy Bear Festival in town that we were not aware of. Normally I would be fine with it, however not with my two kids with us. We were not able to hang out at the river, due to too many naked large men floating around. We still had a great vacation.

  Peaceful retreat

  This is the second time we've stayed at Mays Canyon and we're already thinking about our next time. Just a short trip from our city of San Francisco, we feel like we're away from it all. It feels like a home and we can cook a meal in the well equipped kitchen. Sitting in the hot tub at night gazing up at the stars is an every night event- that never gets old. If you're looking for a down to earth get away, this is the place!

  Beautiful Private Location

  Left on 08/25/2010 for a stay in May 2010
  
  

  We loved our stay here and will keep in mind for our next trip to the wine country. While it is not centrally located for wine tasting in Napa, the drive is nice and enjoyable. The only recommendation I have is to upgrade the mattresses in the bedrooms, which were uncomfortable.

  The Queen size mattress set was purchased last summer, so I'm surprised that it was found uncomfortable. I will be purchasing a new mattress for the other bed this fall.
