Family Reunion

The hidden garden accommodated our large family and was comfortable. There are specific items that need attention. 1. Safety - both the front entrance and side by the kitchen have an uneven tile ledge that we tripped on constantly, one person fell to the floor! 2 - disrepair, house needs work like roof stain where leaking and kitchen cabinets taped off, & much more. 3- outside area very dirty with weeds, dirty furniture and floor, pool umbrella falling apart. These items were unacceptable for our family. We had to clean up a lot outside to use it.

Loved our Wine Country stay

Our family group of 12 had a wonderful time! The beds were comfy and the A/C kept the house cool. The kitchen was well-stocked. We all LOVED spending afternoons in the pool. Communication with Matthew was prompt and easy. 5 of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms which is great! Guests in one of the upstairs queen bedrooms have to go downstairs to use the half bath during the night or have to enter the other upstairs queen bedroom to use their en-suite bathroom. Good info to know especially for couples traveling together. The property is very large and private and we enjoyed strolling around under the canopy of trees.

Wine weekend

This place was a great place to hang with friends. Spacious accommodations and well appointed kitchen. The rain tried to dampen our good time but after being wet and cold coming home to a comfortable sit by the fireplace was ideal. Thank you so much to the owner for letting us in early to set up for our group! We can’t wait to do it all again next year sans rain!

Perfect for a major birthday celebration

We were looking for a nice place for a weekend gathering for 9 including 4 couples. We are all of the age that we appreciate comfort, so the 5 roomy ensuite bedrooms was perfect, and a rare find in this area. The house has a definite character, but the on line photos show its features well, so there were no surprises. The kitchen is very well equipped including a really big refrigerator and freezer, and 2 nice big modern ovens, plus 2 microwaves! We didn't do a lot of cooking, but did have a catered dinner one night, so the kitchen was a big plus. The house was very clean and well provisioned, and Mathew had even prepared the fire places -- all of them! We only used one, but that was a very nice touch. How a host responds to problems is always a good test. We only had one small supply issue, but Mathew took care of it immediately The location turned out to be perfect for some wine tasting outings, and the grounds spacious and forested. Overall a perfect spot for our 3-day weekend. Thanks, Mathew.

We loved this place!

We are four college-era friends/couples who have been getting together from different parts of the Bay Area for many years. This was the best place ever! Each couple had a lovely room with private bathroom; the kitchen is well-equipped and large enough for several people to be working at the same time. The pool area is lovely. And we loved the peaceful, quiet getaway feel.

Great Wine Weekend!!

This house was perfect for my annual girls wine trip to the area. Tons of room for everyone to find a comfortable space. The huge refrigerator is amazing to bring in platters of prepared food. The addition of the outdoor furniture and fire table to the front patio was great. We also used the pool and hot tub and they were wonderful! We will definitely be back!

Family Wedding

Our stay was perfect! Matthew was an amazing host, always stayed in contact with us and responded very quickly. The house was beautiful and very spacious for our very large family. The grounds were absolutely beautiful. We came for our son's wedding, and we couldn't have asked for an amazing spectacular weekend. The house was clean, had all amenities, the rooms were over the top large, an individual bathroom for everyone. It was so relaxing by the pool and spa, and BBQing was fabulous as we ate on the very spacious patio. Our grandkids had the best time swimming and enjoying the grounds. This beautiful home and the extremely gracious host Matthew were perfect!! We look forward to returning for our vacations with our big family. Thank you, Matthew, for making our trip for our sons wedding the best memories we could ask for. Ciao.

Birthday celebrations

Based on another person's recommendation, we booked our birthday celebration stay with Matthew/Hidden Garden and we had a wonderful stay. The property (inside & out) was maintained, clean, and easy access to all Amador has to offer. Matthew was timely communicative with any and all questions. I highly recommend staying at Hidden Garden or other properties offered by Matthew.

Why they chose this property

It is a gem in the heart of the Shenandoah Wine region. It is private, peaceful, and magnificent. A wonderful canopy of trees, so even during the hottest days, the property feels comfortable and private. It makes a truly enjoyable getaway for multiple couples and families!

What makes this property unique

Peace, Serenity, and incredible wines within a 5-mile radius. This is what Napa and Sonoma once were like half a century ago when they were comprised of smaller, more intimate wineries. In many cases, the owner or winemaker may be pouring your tasting for you. Most wineries wave a tasting fee for each bottle you purchase.
