Getting Around

You're renting two SUVs out of Medford, one per family. Choose something with a little ground clearance; a few of the winery and back roads near the house are gravel.

Traveling with a Little One

BabyQuip delivers cribs, high chairs, car seats, beach gear, and toys to the house, so you skip flying with the bulky things.

Priority Reservations

Most restaurants and wineries aren't bookable until 45 to 60 days out. I'll make your reservations for you as part of the service. The two to lock in as soon as you're ready are the Stephanie Inn spa treatments and, if you'd like one, a driver for your wine tasting day.
