relais du soleil

Circa 1914. Open year-round, Relais du Soleil means a place to rest in the sun, and this guest ranch on 120 park-like acres in Glen Ellen, California perfectly reflects its French name. Enjoy the casual ambiance and gorgeous scenery in Nuns Canyon at the foot of Mayacamas mountain range. Shade trees accent the deck next to Calabazas Creek. Play horseshoes, darts, croquet or petanque. Sit and stargaze or birdwatch. Stay in an upstairs guest bedroom in the main house or the three-room cottage called the Bunkhouse Suite. Feel welcomed by fresh flowers and a glass of champagne upon arrival. A full ranch breakfast is served on the patio or in the dining room. Take a wine-tasting tour of the nearby Sonoma Valley vineyards.
