From the moment we arrived, Brent and Chris made us feel like old friends coming home. The evening wine and cheese hour was such a treat. Local wines, great cheeses, and friendly conversation with other guests created this wonderful sense of community. And breakfast? Out of this world. Perfectly fluffy beignets, a croque madame baked in a delicate crepe, and berries tossed in a spiced wine syrup with cinnamon and star anise. It honestly rivaled any restaurant brunch I've ever had. The big wraparound porch was our favorite spot to relax, whether sipping morning coffee or enjoying a glass of wine at sunset. The location is ideal too, right in downtown Calistoga but still incredibly quiet and peaceful at night. Every detail here feels thoughtful, and every interaction genuine. You arrive as guests, but you really do leave as friends.

This was our first time staying at a Bed and Breakfast, so we didn't really know what to expect. We…read moreimmediately loved the location as it's in the heart of Calistoga, right on Lincoln Avenue. As soon as we arrived, as we were getting out of our car, we were greeted by name by Chris, one of the two owners. He was so welcoming and friendly! He gave us a quick tour and helped us figure out how to use the Keurig. It was close enough to 5pm, so he whisked us away to the beautiful wrap around porch for the daily wine and cheese social. There we met Brent, his partner, who was equally as charming and funny. They were magnificent hosts throughout our stay! We only wish we had stayed on a weekend so that we could enjoy the luxurious brunch we had seen in photos. However, since we woke up on a weekday, we each received a $25 breakfast voucher to use at one of 3 local eateries. We opted for Bella Bakery on Lincoln. Thanks for the rec, Brent! It did not disappoint and those vouchers were plentiful. I also really appreciated the little details, like the complimentary water, the snack bags for the next day, and the toiletries in our bathroom. Thank you for making our first experience at a B&B a wonderful one! We will absolutely be recommending this B&B to our friends and family!

This was one of the most disappointing customer service experiences I've ever had. I've stayed at…read morethis hotel many times over the years and have referred countless friends, family members, and clients who have also booked stays here. Because of that history, I never expected to be treated this way. We experienced a genuine family emergency that forced us to leave early and requested a refund for our unused Sunday and Monday nights. These were weekday nights not a weekend or holiday, and the hotel kept 100% of the charges for both nights despite us not being there. What made the situation even worse was the amount of time we had to spend going back and forth during an already stressful family emergency. The front desk staff repeatedly told us they understood and agreed a refund was appropriate, but the owner instructed them not to issue one. For several days, staff members seemed confused about the situation, while the owner/manager refused to respond to phone calls or text messages. We were left waiting, following up repeatedly, and receiving no direct communication from the person making the decision. I understand businesses have cancellation policies, but there should also be room for compassion and reasonable discretion, especially for LOYAL, repeat guests who have spent thousands of dollars over the years and have personally referred many others to stay here. Unfortunately, this experience erased years of goodwill. Customer service is tested when something unexpected happens, and this hotel failed that test. We will NEVER stay here again, and after this experience, I can no longer recommend it to friends, family, or clients. What a HUGE disappointment Cottage Grove. Not the way you treat your loyal customers.

We are big fan of weekend getaways in the Napa Valley. We have stayed at several properties over…read morethe years up and down the valley for wine tasting and dining out. As well as attending concerts, New Years parties, and just relaxing. I found this cute property in Calistoga online and after reading the positive reviews on several booking sites I decided to book the Oakville room. Right after booking the reservation, I started receiving personalized text messages confirming my registration and providing me detailed information about my stay. They even did their best to accommodate an early check in for us. When we arrived we were able to park right in front of the property. We picked up our personalized envelope with our key to our room on the front porch. The Oakville room is located upstairs and is small but very clean , and decorated nicely. The room opened to a small outdoor patio with a table and two chairs.. Something to note- this particular room does not have a TV in it however other rooms at the Inn do have them. No ceiling fan overhead but a personal heater/air conditioning unit is in the room. A nice comfy bed with a fluffy white duvet made for peaceful sleeping. Now the best part- location! On the corner of Lincoln the main street in Calistoga you can easily walk to botique shops, tasting rooms, restaurants and bars. It is next door to Busters BBQ which has really good casual bbq.. Finally each directly booked stay includes 2 vouchers for Calistoga Roastry. This is a cute coffee shop where we enjoyed an iced latte, smoothie, BLT, and breakfast sandwiche. It is just a 5 minute walk from the Inn. We throughly enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend if you are visiting Calistoga.

Everything is clean, and it's a beautiful property. A most wonderful garden with several seating areas and a fire pit. This last time I stayed with my small dog. I brought his feeding and water bowl. Shouldn't have bothered. They provided both with a treat! This is an absolutely beautiful place to stay at. Just cross the street and you are at the start of the main drag in Calistoga. I couldn't recommend it more. There's also a voucher for free breakfast and coffee at a local restaurant.

Despite property descriptions and their website, I did not witness anything luxury about this place, apart from the diner. I was at the property for only a couple of hours but that was more than enough. -Photos are a bit deceiving - everything in real life is a lot smaller, especially the pool and bathrooms. I sat down on the toilet and my knees were bumping against the bathroom door. Pool size was not fit for the amount of guests the property can accommodate and looks twice as big in the photos. -No sound isolation whatsoever. You can hear people sneeze/talk/get changed in the rooms next to yours, no sense of privacy whatsoever. To add to this disaster, each room is operated by a PIN code rather than a key. In our case, rather than showing or handing us the PIN, the host just said the PIN out loud for us to try out from the hallway - the implication being that other people probably heard it and our room was essentially unlocked for everybody. I had more privacy when I lived in student halls at uni than at this ''luxury'' chateau. -I had a query about our reservation where we initially wanted to stay an extra night at the property, however, it was near impossible to get hold of the property - 3 contact numbers, 2 email addresses and Booking messaging system later, we finally received a 1-sentence response via Booking messenger with the property completely misunderstanding our request and providing the wrong advice which completely paralysed our options when it came to our time in Napa valley. Their attempt to remedy the situation was a bottle of wine - which we explained we're unlikely to be able to accept as we're due to catch a flight back and our luggage was already full. No other offers or solutions to rectify the poor customer experience. Overall, not worth the money, especially considering the service.

When we first arrived, we drove through a bridge and then we were surrounded by planted gardens and fruit trees with a few chairs and tables spaced apart. We called Kurt and he came right away to help us, directed us to a good parking spot, and then showed us around. We arrived around 10:00AM and it was still quiet with only one other couple by the pool. Kurt showed us where the switches for the hot tub jets were, the switch for the sauna, towels, bathroom, water, etc. The rest of the day was extremely relaxing. People slowly trickled in and seemed to hit peak occupancy around 1:00PM. There were beautiful views of the hillside and trees. Everything clean and neat. Plentiful umbrellas for shade. A quiet atmosphere with friendly conversations. There were always lounge chairs to choose from. I loved the layout of the place. The pool, hot tub, and sauna were all spacious and never felt crowded. Around 6:00PM the pool area starts emptying out, and weather quickly gets cooler. I'd recommend bringing a cooler with drinks and snacks to maximize your relaxation time. An amazing place to be and we'll definitely be back whenever we need to let go of any stress.

Our stay at Okaeri Hotel was truly one of the most memorable travel experiences my wife and I have…read moreever had. The co-owner personally welcomed us and gave us a tour of the property while sharing its fascinating history. That personal touch immediately made us feel at home and added so much character to our stay. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. The garden is peaceful and meticulously maintained, and the indoor lounge is unlike anything we've seen before-it features a stunning swimming pool that has been transformed into a large koi pond, with each koi fish even having its own name! The hotel also has a fun karaoke lounge, beautifully renovated rooms, and a relaxing Japanese-style soaking tub. The entire property reminded us of the elegant Japanese home featured in the Drops of God Apple TV+ series, complete with an impressive wine cellar that adds to the hotel's unique charm. To top it all off, breakfast the next morning was exceptional--a delicious three-course meal thoughtfully prepared by the chef. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. This was, without question, the best hotel experience my wife and I have ever had. We can't wait to return and bring our friends and family so they can experience it for themselves. Okaeri Hotel deserves a perfect 5 stars. Highly recommended!

The entire B&B is very clean, quiet, and tranquil. I appreciated the onsite ChargePoint EV access. Be careful when pulling out of the parking lot. The exit is steep and can bottom out your car if you do not leave at an angle. We were greeted by Craig, who manages the B&B. He was very friendly and gave us a tour. The dining room was built over a full-sized pool, now converted into a koi pond. He even has a name for each of the fish. The rooms are all unique. Ours had a nice porch overseeing the trees. The soaking tub was the highlight for us. It is a beautiful wooden tub. It is perfect for one person and very relaxing. I love how the tub drains onto the floor into the shower area. The upscale breakfast was a nice feature. The food was delivered right to our table in the koi pond dining room. The mango-infused dish was light, creamy, and perfectly balanced with a hint of sweetness. The smoked salmon eggs Benedict was rich and flavorful. It featured perfectly poached eggs, fresh spinach, and silky hollandaise on toasted English muffins. My wife and I had a very special day staying at Okaeri. We will definitely be back to enjoy another relaxing stay.

They went far out of their way to show every little hospitality and kindness. For instance, we were in the pool when it was happy hour, so they brought us a glass of wine and plate of hand-made nibbles at the pool. They offered to make reservations at a good Italian place for us (Tra Vigne). When we came back to the Inn, there was a bottle of Schramsberg Blanc de Blanc on ice for the guests to share as a nightcap. They are perhaps the most thoughtful innkeepers we've ever encountered. The common area is modern and spotless, the rooms are inviting, the beds are great, and the HVAC has been updated (a good thing during Napa summers). Best of all, the breakfasts are incredible. They brought delicious and artfully presented plates of sausage, fresh juice, poached fruits and thick bread with house-made jam, and a sorbet at the end of the meal. And so started another epic day of wine tasting...

Some things that were weird/problematic/good to know: - The included breakfast isn't like an old school B&B where you go downstairs for breakfast, it's vouchers for Calistoga Roastery. Which is within easy walking distance and has good food/coffee/tea, so it's a fine option for "complimentary breakfast", just not what I was expecting. And hot tip: the vouchers say "brewed coffee or tea and one breakfast entree" but when I got there, they were like "anything you want up to $13" so if you want an espresso and smoothie, that's fine! - There is no reception desk or host/staff onsite. You check in online (which I only partially completed because they wanted credit card details, but I had paid through a third party site when making the reservation and there was nothing explaining that my card would not be charged) then they leave keys for you at the Inn. Again it was fine, just not what I was expecting. - The room I was in didn't have a door for the bathroom. Which I'm accustomed to hotel rooms not having the sink or even shower area enclosed, but the toilet is usually behind a door. I sort of feel like this should be mentioned in the description? - The room I was in didn't have enough places to put things down. Because of pedestal sinks in the bathroom, I took up all the available shelf space with my solo toiletries. If my spouse had been there, I'm not sure how we would have worked it out. And because the bed was adjacent to the door to the little balcony space, there was only a nightstand on one side. If my spouse had been there, where would I have put my phone/glasses/book? None of the weird things would stop me from staying there again though, the important stuff (cleanliness, hot water, comfortable bed, secure/safe, nicely decorated/curated decor) was all top notch.
