Stonepine consists of eight luxury suites in the manor house Chateau Noel, the charming Briar Rose Cottage, the stately Gate House and, for those who like to be near an equine or "wild west" environment, there are four suites in the Paddock House. Riding, golf, tennis, sulky driving, soccer, croquet, archery, hiking and biking are the preferred guest activities.

Stonepine is a 'Purple Shield' member of Relais & Chateaux, the only resort so designated by them in the United States of the Americas. Stonepine is twenty-five minutes from the Monterey Airport. Travel from the airport to Stonepine is by rental car, chartered helicopter or by our own Phantom V Rolls Royce.

Each of the eight suites within Chateau Noel has been lavishly furnished in a theme inspired by notable designers such as Chanel or Cartier. All suites have entertainment centers, private libraries, large closets, goose-down comforters and fresh flowers daily. Each bath is spacious and has its own Jacuzzi, thick oversize towels, his-and-hers robes, and an array of thoughtful amenities. The popular Taittinger suite even has its own hidden sitting Room. Most suites have fireplaces, adding a special romantic touch.
