Blair Spangler Design Group
A collection of micro-resorts guaranteeing a level of hospitality never before realized in a rental villa.  See our testimonials for proof; in business for over 20 years.

BREAKING THE VACATION RENTAL MOULD. To refer to us as a "vacation rental" is inaccurate as our properties provide a level of luxury and service never before imagined in a private villa rental. Free, in-depth concierge services with each stay. We are estates of unequaled luxury and services where guests can escape to the wonders of the Napa-Sonoma outback, at the heart of the Northern California Wine Country. Green facilities, filled with the aesthetically refined and environmentally sensitive, our wine knowledge and membership access to the wineries not open to the public - are second to none. We have the best chefs in both counties (not an exaggeration! but let us know if you disagree).

PREMIER CORPORATE & TEAM-BUILDING RETREATS with only king or queen bedrooms that all have private, ensuite baths, high-speed wifi indoors and out, plus extensive gathering and breakout space. Unlike any other regional vacation rental, a full-time caretaker and an IT expert both live nearby and are always on call to assist. Numerous staff monitor our guest assistance line (text and phone) 365 days a year. We are uniquely configured to provide both the remote, mind-expanding natural environment plus the required amenities, and services to truly ensure “blue ocean” level creative space for either meetings or retreats. We have wide-screen televisions, front projectors, and dedicated meeting room, classroom, or conference space. Though rural, we have wifi speeds on multiple networks of 350-450mbs throughout the large property.

WORLD-FAMOUS, BOUTIQUE WINERIES ARE OUR PARTNERS & NEIGHBORS. High-elevation cabernet is the kingpin of our neighborhood. For discerning guests who are buyers and collectors, we can provide invitation-only or membership-level access to the recherché, limited-production wineries throughout. We can arrange for the likes of private tastings, winemaker dinners, classes of choice, and access to a 250-bottle private wine collection. Our on-staff wine expert can curate unparalleled tours and private vineyard events tailored to your wine knowledge, pallet, or procurement goals.

AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME: Nature is just BIG up here. Every design choice has been made to improve one's ability to sense and absorb the splendors of rural Napa and Sonoma County. Our testimonials prove that we always deliver trips of a lifetime.

AMENITIES OF THE PROPERTIES: Chemical-free pool* with endless in-water benches overlooking the valley spreading out below, expansive surrounding deck with commercial barbecue and large fire-pit, hot tub, bocce, summit deck, and a media room with 60" screen and surround sound. Multiple areas for outdoor seating and dining, including dining tables, both inside and out. The kitchen was designed for our chef, thus professional quality: 12' island, 4' range, 3 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, state-of-the-art cooking equipment, etc. The owner, a European-trained interior designer, has used antique furnishings and finishes throughout. All property generators.
*Please note in the rainy season (typically November-April), the pool area is closed, and the majority of outdoor cushions are stored.

EVENTS, RETREATS, WINE-MAKER DINNER PARTIES: We can arrange any size event at a myriad of private vineyard estates - otherwise not open to the public ~ ideal for corporate meetings, dinner parties, wine tastings, team classes, rehearsal dinners, elopements, or intimate weddings or renewals. We can arrange intimate-sized parties or a rural wine country gathering of any type and style as we have a 5-star event planner on staff knowledgeable of all regional venues and venues of quality in the two-county area. Elopements and corporate meetings are easily accommodated, as are private events at boutique wineries; inquire about our options.

WHY CHOOSE BETWEEN NAPA OR SONOMA WHEN YOU CAN HAVE BOTH? 25 minutes from the corner of Highway 12 and Calistoga Rd in the Sonoma Valley and just over 20 minutes from the town of St Helena in central Napa Valley and have endless valley views. These properties are rural, surrounded by world-famous vineyards and wineries; your own private nature preserve.
