We stayed at the related vacation rentals 'Chien Blanc Bungalows' (bateau) because we had a dog and it was one of the few places in town that would take her and accomidate all four of us humans as well in one place without breaking the bank. Breakfast was not included in the bungalows so I can't tell you about that. The room our UK friends were in was appointed nicely but our sofa bed was a bit lumpy and could use a mattress change. The kitchen had everything you could need in a small compact space and the common room was great and probably where we ended up spending the most amount of non-sleeping time. Full sized fridge was definately a plus as it was NYE and we need to chill the bubbly. Internet was somewhat spotty but adequate because really how much are you going to be using it up in wine country anyways except to quickly make/check a dinner reservation or something of this nature. I liked the mix of country cottage meets hollywood regency with a bit of modern here or there - it is better I think than most the over flowered or faux-British places in the area which I tend to not like as my tastes run toward Contemporary Modern & Mid Century Modern. There is also a Native American theme in the common room but it's not overdone or anything. Everything is stocked for a dog you'd need - my only real complaint is that sofa mattress so I don't recommend more than three people staying so that whomever gets the sofa can flip and flop around to compensate for the lumpies. If you are just two you can easily fit into the main bed which is comfortible.

The location to downtown was great-we walked everywhere on main street from the inn. The rooms were all very clean and very nicely decorated. The pool and lounging area was very nice and secluded. The innkeeper made exceptionally great breakfasts and we have brought some of the recipes home with us.

Chelsea Garden Inn was my first experience at a bed and breakfast, but will certainly not be my last. My girlfriend and I stayed here on our trip in late March, and it was everything we were looking for. The room itself was comfortable and spacious, although the decor was a bit kitschy. However, the gardens were beautiful and the location is excellent. Chelsea is within easy walking distance of attractive downtown Calistoga, and there are hilly trails nearby leading up to a gorgeous overlook of the nearby vineyards. We booked through email, and the owner, Susan DeVries, was very helpful and quick to respond to our questions. When we arrived one of the innkeepers, Philippe Shepard, made us feel instantly welcome and offered us an afternoon snack. He was also very knowledgable about nearby wineries and other attractions. Throughout our stay, breakfast was delicious and everyone around was cheery and helpful. I would definitely recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for a nice B&B in Calistoga. Check up their package deals - the wineries included have some excellent tours, the restaurants are good though unexceptional, and the spa treatment is very relaxing. All-in-all, an excellent experience I would love to repeat!

We stayed here just last weekend. Jenny the innkeeper was friendly and accommodating. Because of a liquor license issue, please be aware that Chelsea Garden Inn is temporarily unavailable to serve wine at their hors d'ouvres hour, so bring your own if you want it. The breakfast was yummy and the property was quiet and relaxing. We would stay here again.
