The Boyes' moved to [[Sonoma Valley]], where they bought 75 acres of land after hearing about the area from [[Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo]]. The couple lived on a house that was built in 1849 by [[T.M. Leavenworth]]. Eventually, another house was built on a 15-acre part of the property, which the couple named "El Mirador."<ref name="McKale"/>
Vallejo had told Boyes about natural [[hot springs]] in the area and in 1888, Boyes dug two 200 feet deep [[well]]s on the property. They pumped the hot water into pools and promoted the [[Hot_spring#Therapeutic_uses|therapeutic benefits]] of the water to the public. They started with one pool, eventually expanding to multiple pools as the site grew in popularity with tourists from San Francisco. The property eventually served as a resort with overnight accommodations. Boyes incorporated the resort as the Boyes' Hot Mineral Springs Co. in 1902. In 1923, the resort was destroyed by a fire. Today, the [[Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa]] is located on the site of the former Boyes resort.<ref name="McKale"/>
 
==Later life and legacy==
 
Boyes is buried in [[Mountain Cemetery]] in Sonoma. His grave is next to the tomb of Vallejo.<ref name="McKale"/>
