Mountain House Estate will wow and impress and confirm this is the spot for your next wedding or special event! Located a short distance from the northern end of the Sonoma’s Wine Country, this private estate is nestled in the mountains near the famed Alexander Valley.
Read MoreThe remodeled property carries history deep in its roots, as it was once a sheep and cattle farm and hotel for travelers between Cloverdale and the Mendocino Coast (originally called Mountain House), but is now a well-established event venue. The deep-rooted history dates to the late 1800’s and has passed through many historical families.
Choices is the first word that comes to mind in describing Mountain House Estate. There are space options that feature:
- a pond-side spacious lawn with a barn backdrop
- the Oak Tree Terrace with built-in benches
- the patio with bistro lighting
- the Great Room offering an airy cozy indoor space.
Each space poses an individual taste and allows for groups ranging from small to large and casual to formal. The property is breathtaking with corrugated metal wall fencing with climbing fig, wisteria, and roses. The yellow 1932 Ford, windmill, and rolling hills of vineyards surrounding the property will seal the deal!!
Now for a little more on each space. The lawn comfortably accommodates up to 250 guests with Adirondack chairs around the beautiful pond that has a lovely sounding fountain. This space is limitless in its use! A level and luscious lawn centered to the pond and small barn make perfect backdrops for ceremonies. If outdoor dining is desired, then the lawn is ideal for an open air gathering. A small hillside of grapes and perfectly placed seating nooks are tucked to one side of the pond.
The Oak Tree Terrace is one of those secret spots at Mountain House Estate. A short walk or drive up the hill will take your breath away. Crest the hill and look down to a heritage Valley Oak that is ideal for a private, wooded ceremony. This natural amphitheater features built-in benches that are seamlessly placed into the hillside. A rustic barn in a turquoise patina, and raised-bed garden full of tasty vegetables and wild flowers offer interest and beauty while guests are gathering or enjoying cocktails looking out over the rolling hillside.
Dream up the most perfect patio for an outdoor celebration and you’ll envision the bistro lit garden patio. Again, large enough for parties of up to 250 guests, the patio is airy, open and flanked by crepe myrtles, rose bushes, and fragrant rosemary. Slide the barn door back and discover a hidden cake or dessert display area or fantastic bar backdrop; look up at the awesome rustic hanging tractor wheel chandelier! A small deck off-centered to the space offers an elegant bandstand or another area to feature something special. With market umbrellas, tables, chairs, firepits, and a powerful sound system included, this space has everything you need for a fantastic party.
Bring dinner or dancing inside the Great Room and find any excuse to use this fantastic bar area! The Great Room has great natural lighting with abundant windows and glass doors, crown molding, unique oversized hanging lanterns centered from the ceiling, and two parallel alcoves that offer special placement of important details for your event. Attached to this space is the bar of all bars. With a coved rounded wood paneled ceiling, artistic wine barrel paneled bar front, hand-crafted wood beam vintage lighting, tile flooring and wood paneled alcoves to display your bar offerings, this bar will dictate your use of all of the spaces just to tie this room into the mix of the perfect event you are hosting.
