Modern ecochic luxe indoor/outdoor getaway- mountaintop views & hot tub!
Google's architect in-residence, Michelle Kaufmann, designed this beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath bright open concept home - the Sunset Glidehome- which PBS calls one of the 10 homes that changed America. The house is surrounded by sliding glass and embodies modern indoor/outdoor living. Quiet & perched on a mountain, this home is only five plus minutes from the 101 amongst beautiful wineries & restaurants. The house, deck & hot tub commands views of surrounding mountains and vineyards below. The deck goes all around the house and there is a 6 person hot tub right by the house with phenomenal views of the nearby mountains and valleys with no house in site! The master bath has a beautiful walk-in slate shower. The house is filled with clean lined modern design furniture and a long farmhouse style dining table perfect for spending house chatting over dinner overlooking the valley below. The master bedrooms has a king size mattress made by a very high end boutique manufacturer from San Francisco, while the other two bedrooms have extremely comfortable brand new queen size memory-foam mattresses. Additionally, there is a comfortable design futon and a brand new queen size elevated Aerobed for additional guests. Guest access- Guests have full, sole access to the entire 41 acres of the property, there is no one else on the property, lots of privacy, there are next to no other houses anywhere in the immediate area and none that can be seen. But it is super accessible from the highway! Interaction with guests I am available via email, phone or text at almost all times to answer any questions or help if you need anything. Other things to note Mendocino County Guest Tax (already included in the cost of your stay): The county requires any short term lodging host (hotel, camping, B&Bs, VRBOs) to collect an 11% Transient Occupancy Tax based on the stay charge excluding cleaning and VRBO service charge fees. Payment is collected by VRBO separately and is paid directly by the host to the county out of the total amount charged. Please note that there is a security camera outside of the home on premise for safety purposes. There are no cameras filming inside or anywhere inside of the home for guest privacy purposes.

Absolute delight! Beautiful, peaceful mountaintop location... house was spotless, lovely, & stocked with every comfort. Hosts were so friendly & attentive, we felt totally taken care of... while enjoying delightful solitude at the same time! A gorgeous place in every way.
This was a wonderful home. It had spectacular views just like the photos showed. Lots of light from large windows on both sides of the house. Great decks to relax on and gather with family. The host was very responsive to communication.
A week with family over Xmas. The set up is very comfortable and flexible with plenty of walking and places to visit. Fabulous stars if the clouds comply.
My wife and I stayed here for three days/nights in June. We had a great stay. This is really a unique property -- very secluded, quiet and private, yet all of the amenities and comforts and with amazing views nearly 360 around the property. Although the property gives you the sense of being away from it all, it's an easy 15 minute drive to the center of Ukiah, and less than 45 minutes to Healdsburg, which was a perfect location for us. Lastly, as others have commented, Emir was a superb host and incredibly responsive the couple of times we had a question about something.
This is a "great escape" property, off the beaten path, with an unpaved but well-maintained access road and driveway. Quiet, with the nearest neighbors a few hundred yards away. Great views, clean, contemporary furnishings, large, luxurious shower in master bath. Also hotel-stye luxurious bed sheets and towels. The location is convenient for visiting wineries, Montgomery Woods or Hendy State Park. Emir, the host, is friendly, responsive, and will be hands-on in answering questions and resolving any issues. He provides a very thorough welcome email before arriving, with all info you could want. This is an excellent property, and we look forward to when we can stay here again.
This place met every expectation. The house was like a modern tree house. All windows looking out on oak trees and mountains. Completely quiet . The house is beautiful, simple, airy, clean. Floor plan allows for privacy and gracious gathering spaces. Very kid friendly. Host very communicative. Made for a unique family experience.
We loved our stay in Hopland. The host Emir was great, he gave us very detailed instructions about the home, amenities, location, etc. The home is beautiful, with great design touches and a beautiful, peaceful location. We will definitely come back again!
Good home nestle away in beautiful scenic surroundings
My friends and I enjoyed our stay in this home. It was just the perfect size for a group of 5 adults and one toddler. Our host left us very detailed instructions about the property and surrounding areas and responded quickly the few times we reached out to him during our stay. The place is clean and modern and has all the basic amenities one would need. Just a heads up that the garage where you park is a decent distance away from the main house, so pack light or else be okay will hauling your stuff back and forth and/or making multiple trips :)
My wife and I stayed here in May 2021 as a treat to ourselves after finishing our COVID vaccinations. What a great decision.
Firstly, the property itself is just phenomenal. Great attention to detail throughout, big enough to relax but with great common space for meals or board games. A perfectly clean pool and hot tub, three bedrooms for people to relax, and a fully-functioning kitchen-- everything you need and everything you want.
A few of the highlights for us:
1. When they say you have the property to yourselves, they mean it. It is off a side road off a side road (note: this means a small stretch of dirt road so be aware if you drive something lowered). The property is incredibly private and felt like our little oasis the whole time. Exactly what we wanted after over a year of no time away from kids.
2. There's a 110V outlet outside for you fellow EV owners to trickle charge. Thanks again to the owners for letting us use that as it made the trip so much easier!
3. Because it's nestled on a little property on its own, you get little natural visitors all day: we saw cute lizards, hummingbirds, tons of industrious honeybees, and even some unknown birds. Fun way to wake up and sip coffee to the rising sun.
4. You're maybe 15 min away from Ukiah and less than 10 away from the nearest winery. It's off the beaten path but you're not leaving the Shire, young hobbits.
5. There is just so much to do nearby: from a beautiful mountain drive to Fort Bragg to gobs of gorgeous wineries nearby, you won't lack for things to do.
Also, the owner has impeccable taste in books and music scattered throughout the house. Big plus!
Plus, and this is big: the owner himself is just a delight and was super responsive to my few requests. I cannot say enough for how great he was.
In summary: Yes.
