Stanly Ranch, Auberge Collection

Our recent stay at Stanley Ranch was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome with an attentiveness that struck the perfect balance of warm and effortless. Every interaction reflected a level of hospitality that made the entire experience feel truly special.

The property itself is beautifully curated, from the stunning grounds to the thoughtfully designed rooms. Every detail feels intentional, creating an atmosphere that's both luxurious and incredibly relaxing. We only stayed for one night, but it left us wishing we had booked a much longer visit.

The spa is absolute perfection. We spent time by the pool, where the atmosphere was just right: relaxed, elegant, and exactly what you hope for in Napa. Dinner at The Bear was outstanding, with incredible food and impeccable service that made for a memorable evening.

The next morning, we grabbed lattes from Gavel and paired it with a Loveski bagel—a fantastic collaboration and the ideal way to end our stay.

Stanley Ranch delivers an experience that's thoughtful in every way. The service was impeccable throughout, and if we could live there, we absolutely would. We can't wait to return.

Stanly Ranch might my favorite hotel on mainland USA. Our room (rambler king suite) was spacious and extremely comfortable. The people here are SO friendly! The whole campus is just beautiful and appealing. We loved the trails for walking/running/biking. It is so close to downtown Napa and is so easy to enjoy that charming city. I love that we were able to get our rooms cool enough for a good night's sleep. The atmosphere at Stanly Ranch is what every hotel should have. So personable and perfect. (Apparently I never clicked "submit" on this back in November.)

As a local wedding planner, I've had the opportunity to stay at Stanly Ranch several times, and it's a place I'll continue coming back to. The property is absolutely beautiful, incredibly peaceful, and the staff consistently provide exceptional service. Every stay has been wonderful, and I never get tired of visiting. It's always one of my top recommendations for anyone planning a trip to Napa!

Amazing atmosphere attentive staff. The facilities and the room are amazing and so well maintained. One of the best resorts we’ve ever been to! We will be back

Location was incredible and staff was great. Breathtaking grounds and incredible staff, shout out to Francis who made us welcome from day one. First impression was a 10 out of 10.

Due to a busy few months and personal matters, it has taken me a while to share this review, but the exceptional experience we had for my birthday stay in April was certainly not forgotten! If you are from this area and are seeking a world-class luxury sanctuary in Northern California—offering all the privacy, serenity, and pampering of a far-off retreat without the hassle of a long flight—this is truly it.

We stayed at the Terrace Villa, and it was remarkably beautiful and luxurious. This was our second time staying in the villa. As someone with severe allergies, I was especially grateful that the Ranch offers dedicated pet-free accommodations—it is wonderful that guests with health sensitivities can enjoy such a stunning property with total peace of mind.

- The Grounds, Spa & Sanctuary Setting: The property itself is breathtaking. The grounds are thoughtfully designed, allowing for peaceful walks through beautifully manicured, elevated ranch-style surroundings set against rolling vineyard backdrops. The spa and pool areas are immaculate and stunning, perfectly complementing the resort's high-end feel. Throughout the property, you’ll find numerous private, cozy seating areas equipped with warm fire pits and fireplaces, making it effortless to pause, unwind, and soak in the still air. It provides an exceptionally peaceful and calm environment for a serene stay, which is precisely why it is my intent to return in the coming weeks to regroup and find healing after many personal challenges these past months.

A Few Highlights & Team Members Who Made Our Stay Unforgettable:

- Warm Arrival: Jacob, the Guest Services Manager, set a wonderful tone upon our arrival, and Veronica handled our check-in and check-out with impressive professionalism and charm. The Ranch Hands were also consistently polite and helpful.

- Exceptional Management & Itinerary Planning: The Ranch offers a wonderful Itinerary Design service. Paul Guerrero, Stanly Ranch Itinerary Designer, worked together with Morgan, Operations Manager, Vineyard Homes & Villas and our primary contact, to ensure all the needs I presented were met. They put in an amazing, thoughtful effort to address my many allergy needs—ensuring everything down to the Villa toiletries aligned with my health requirements, and pleasantly providing delicious replacements for food and beverage items I wouldn't typically consume.

- Villa Leadership & Detail: Morgan truly went above and beyond. Beyond her meticulous coordination with Paul, she ensured the execution of proper pest management for the property so that we encountered zero bugs inside or in the Villa’s lounging patio areas. She further took time out of her busy workday to give us a tour of the Sky Villa for a potential future stay and handled every detail seamlessly.

- Attentive Dining & Culinary Excellence: Dining was fantastic throughout. Max, Food and Beverage Manager, provided amazing support and presence across our dining experiences. Dinner was exceptional—the peppercorn-crusted short rib served alongside delicious sides was a true highlight of the stay (as pictured). When there was a minor kitchen communication oversight regarding floral sensitivities on the initial birthday cake, Morgan and Max worked together to resolve it quickly and seamlessly. Fortunately, Morgan had proactively sourced a backup chocolate cake beforehand, ensuring our celebration remained completely stress-free. Ralin and Caesar were incredibly attentive hospitality staff. Carlos, Dining Manager, was very pleasant and welcoming, supporting a wonderful breakfast experience—including their delicious waffle topped with cinnamon sugar, salted dulce de leche, and fresh blackberries, which was an absolute delight, alongside the best charcuterie tray I’ve had so far!

- Operations & Service: Seeing Julio, Hospitality Manager, personally oversee turn-down service showed just how much care goes into operations here.

To anyone I have failed to mention by name here, or titles I may have misstated, I extend my warm apologies, as we had a wonderfully pleasant experience with everyone we met throughout this stay.

The team's service and attention to detail were second to none and truly the best I have experienced in the hotel industry so far. The genuine quality of the food, accommodations, and service made this a true 10/10 stay. A sincere thank you to George and the entire team for creating such a safe, celebrated, and serene environment. We look forward to returning!

We had an amazing time during our 4th of July stay! Our room was ready early! The kids caught the falconry when we arrived, they fed the chickens before having lunch at Bear. We spent most of the afternoon at the kiddie pool! We were the last ones to leave. Service poolside was great! We had ice cream and ordered dinner poolside. The kids enjoyed s'mores at the fire pit at our room. Loved the teddy bear, robe and slippers they had for the kids. The cafe was convenient for an afternoon pick me up and breakfast. Shuttle and bike service was great since it's such a big property.

This is a 10/10 property from comfort, to effortless luxury, the quality of food and beverage - highly recommend! Luxury Redefined

Had such a great time earlier in the year that we had to come back again. Each time is a better experience from the last and we have never had a bad experience yet. Resort is beautiful and service is elite. Olivia at check-in makes sure everything is taken care of prior to arrival and is an amazing point of contact throughout the stay. Change nothing about Stanly Ranch, it is one of our favorite Auberge resorts to stay.

Truly, the most incredible experience from a comfort and spa experience getaway. The food on the property and the hotel staff is just unbelievable.

Our absolute favorite hotel in Napa/Sonoma. From our arrival to our departure, everything was seamless. Even with two kids the visit felt relaxing and peaceful! The staff was all incredibly attentive and kind- we are already planning our trip back! Spa was wonderful as was Bear the restaurant.

We had an amazing stay! The Napa airport is only 10 min away if you do the Jet Suite X. Breakfast at Bear was excellent. Didn't love the dinner menu. Their bar is so beautiful. All the decor is so thoughtful and simple. My favorite part of the hotel is how environmentally friendly they are! There's a refillable water station inside the coffee shop! No plastic bottles, even the spa had tin cups and refillable water spouts, no plastic!

The resort is top notch and we had a great time. Ignore anything negative anyone says about prior ownership and fear that engenders about the quality of the property. It’s nonsense.

The grounds were immaculate , service and food were perfect and new ownership and Managment are on top of their game.

Halehouse Spa very special. Superb massage by Joaquin. Stellar experience.
The sauna for spa guests is unique and fabulous in a world class way. Beautiful treatment room. Rare aromatherapy options like cedar and frankincense. Adult pool for Spa guests has magnificent vineyard & mountain views.

Fantastic Stay at Stanly Ranch! Visited with my adult daughter and we enjoyed a dual birthday celebration. The service levels and attention to detail were impeccable. Rooms are great (most single dwellings), and the resort is very dog friendly so was great to have some flexibility with being at a lovely resort with your dog. All of the staff we interacted with were beyond professional, and eager to assist. Both pool areas were very relaxing, and very clean. Loved the spa pool for a little quieter relaxing time, but both pools were great. Walking through the vineyards, and around the property were great. The pre-arrival team also setup special accommodations for us at Donum winery (a must visit especially if you like art/sculpture). Truly a remarkable visit! The Ranch hands were also so accommodating, and eager to take us wherever we needed to go.

From the moment we booked our stay, Angel went above and beyond to ensure every detail was thoughtfully planned. She reached out before our arrival, helped curate the perfect itinerary for our family, and made sure every request was handled with genuine care. Throughout our stay, we felt incredibly welcomed, appreciated, and celebrated.

What always stands out about Stanly Ranch is the level of thoughtfulness. It isn't just great service - it's hospitality that feels personal. Our dog was greeted with the sweetest monogrammed bandana and special treats, while our daughter was also delighted with treats and toys waiting just for her. Those small, unexpected touches created moments we'll remember long after our trip.

Every member of the team made us feel like returning friends rather than hotel guests. There's an authenticity to the service that is rare to find, and it's clear that everyone takes pride in creating unforgettable experiences.

If you're looking for a luxury resort that combines breathtaking surroundings with warm, personalized hospitality, Stanly Ranch is second to none. We can't wait to return - it's become a place that truly feels like home.

Really incredible and personalized stay. They had set up a crib with a personalized bib, toy, and bath set for our baby. The hospitality was unmatched. Venue is really beautiful, with new, very private accomodations. The food from breakfast to dinner was great. Must see the spa!

Lovely property and enjoyed our stay immensely. Very high level of guest appreciation and accommodations. Unique resort experience. Highly reccomend.

This was a perfect Napa experience. On the one hand, I didn't want to leave my room at all, because it was so quiet and comfortable. But, Luziann booked some amazing days of tastings so we did, and they were just perfect. I wanted a particular kind of experience and she nailed it. This is without a doubt the best resort I have ever been to.

Beautiful property. Front desk service falls short of comparable properties. This was our third trip and in each trip there was a less than friendly service experience with the front desk at some point in the stay.
