I think one word best describes this B&B: Superb! First of all, I personally manage 3 South Lake Tahoe homes so I know how hard it is have well-maintained properties and how difficult it is in satisfying guests. Jamie and Jim do an excellent job! We chose to stay here because we didn't want to stay at a hotel or those rip off spa facilities. We prefer the warm home and a home cooked breakfast over the fancy hotel chains. When we first arrived, Jamie greeted us with a friendly smile and explained how the B&B worked. The pictures on yelp are 100% accurate. The house is clean and beautiful! We originally booked the Meritage room and our friends booked the First Crush but Jamie emailed us and told us there were cancellations on the two larger rooms at the B&B: Vintage Reserve & Noble Vineyard. We decided to go ahead and upgrade to the larger rooms. It was very easy to reserve the rooms and Jamie was very quick with replies. When we checked into the rooms, we were definitely impressed. I had the Noble Vineyard and it was just amazing! The room was clean and smelled pleasant! The home-made truffles were delicious! The hot tub was a plus too. The morning breakfast was delicious!!! Jim is an amazing cook! We had home-made chile rellenos stuffed with home-made sausage, eggs and cheese served with a side of salsa and alvacado cream. It was delicious! The cold buffet was a nice touch also! Everything was made from scratch and it beats any continental breakfast I've had at any Hyatt or Westin chain. Overall, our experience there was fantastic! We will definitely be returning very soon and I will spread the word to friends and family. Thanks again guys!

The Inn on First exceeded all my expectations! It was our first time staying at a Bed & Breakfast, and the Inn Keepers, Jim & Jamie made it an amazing experience for us. From room cleanliness to restaurant reservations, all our needs were attended to. The Inn on First is beautiful, indulgent and truly captures the romantic feel of the wine country experience. It's everything you could hope for from a B&B and more!

My wife and I had the most wonderful stay at the Inn on First. It was our first trip to Napa and while we've stayed at many B&Bs, none of them hold a candle to this one. The experience starts with the inn itself, as well as the grounds surrounding it. The main building is very welcoming and has a general lounge area with a fireplace, which I, my wife and our friends enjoyed at the end of an evening or two, as we sipped our complimentary Port. The grounds around the buildings are so well landscaped and quaint and would have been great to have enjoyed during breakfast had it been a few degrees warmer. The rooms were beautifully decorated with every possible amenity. However, the most important part of our experience were the owners, Jamie and Jim. They made our stay so enjoyable. The food was unbelievable. Each breakfast was so different and creative. As a frequent business traveler who has eaten all over the world, trust me when I say you will not find these breakfast items on a menu elsewhere - they were truly outstanding and a perfect start to every day - just the right amount of food. And, it was so enjoyable to meet the other guests, from all over the world, who stayed at the Inn. In exchanging stories each morning, every single person raved about what great recommendations that Jamie and Jim had given them for their wine tours, bike riding excursions or restaurant reservations. Jamie and Jim and The Inn on First made this one of our most memorable and enjoyable vacations ever.

Our experience was great from the beginning. The Innkeepers pride themselves on customer service. We were travelling from the East Coast and had never been to Napa Valley. After doing a lot of research, we decided to book two nights here. I’m so happy we did. The innkeepers offered restaurant suggestions, wine tours, and other things to do in the area. They were very knowledgeable about Napa and were more then willing to help us have the best experience possible. They also booked the reservations for us. They were very personable, friendly, and wanted to ensure we were enjoying our stay. The common areas of the inn were decorated beautifully, but weren’t stuffy or overdone. They were comfortable and made you feel as though you were in your own living room. Each room at the Inn is different and offers it’s own unique décor. Our room had a king bed, jacuzzi tub, stand up shower, and double sinks. The innkeepers provide complimentary champagne, sodas, water, and homemade snacks when you arrive. My personal favorite were the chocolate truffles. The grounds of the inn are also amazing. There is a garden area that each room overlooks where breakfast is served each morning during the warmer months. The flowers are gorgeous and there are several patio tables set-up to talk with the other guests. The breakfast alone is one of the reasons we decided to stay here. Breakfast starts with fruits, homemade granola and muffins, coffee and orange juice. The second course is a gourmet style breakfast. There are also cookies and tea available during the day, as well as dessert wines. Overall, we had a really great time at the Inn on First. I highly recommend it!

It's a shame that I'm limited to only 2000 characters to write this review (since my review I wrote on yelp.com for this place was super long and detailed). All I can say is I already could tell even though this was my first and only bed and breakfast I've been to so far this was THE place to be this weekend for the romantic getaway I planned for. As you will be able to see on the 360 degree viewing feature on their website ALL of the rooms look classy yet updated, clean, and come with a hot tub (which in addition to their breakfast photos) was a major decision factor for us to be here. Jim (one of the inn keepers/resident chef professionally trained) definitely did not disappoint when it came for me to enjoy the real thing (breakfast) and you could tell that Jaime really knows how to make your experience unforgettable with all the details.

The Inn on First was just fantastic! We wanted to get away for a long weekend and decided to go to Napa to tour wineries, in particular sparkling wines. Jim, Jamie, and Mercedes helps us out with just about everything. The Inn is in a great location to downtown Napa and the valley. Jim's breakfasts every morning were incredible especially the "fresh off the tree" cherry fritters and scones! We were able to get into some really good restaurants (Bottega and Angele!) and also tour some phenomenal wineries, definitely check out Schramsberg (thanks to Jamie and Mercedes for getting us reservations)! We loved it! and would recommend it to all. We'll be back for sure! Thanks Jim, Jamie, & Mercedes for a great time in Napa!

Our 8th anniversary couldn't have been any better, thanks to Jim and Jamie. Our reservation process and surprises planned, all worked out perfectly. The room Noble Vineyard "Rocked" it was more than we expected. My husband was ANTI-Bed & Breakfast until his stay at The Inn on First. He would go back tomorrow if he could and has already recommended to his friends and co-workers. All of our dinner reservations were perfect, except the OUTSTANDING in-room massages led us to be sooo relaxed we slept right through one of them-Ubuntu. Not necessarily a bad thing I guess right? We ate at Angele....YUMMMMY, ZuZu tasty tappas, and Ubuntu-we slept through dinner but made it for lunch the next day.....SO FRESH AND AWESOME VEGITARIAN~ We had a surprise hot air balloon ride that was amazing from Balloons Above The Valley that I planned for my husband, the Inn on First arranged it, but kept it quiet til' the end. We recommend if you do the balloon ride to still have breakfast at the Inn, as it is just as we imagined it to be.....delectable!!!! Breakfast was part of our draw to this particular Inn, and it was more than we anticipated. The help that we had planning our wineries was invaluable, they picked the most perfect places for us to vist as to not waste a bit of our time. Plus the tasting passes were a treat as well. It was relaxed from start to finish, easy to reserve....check in...out, the attention to detail was soo helpful, we would not have gotten this elsewhere. The homemade crackers, chocolate truffles, in room wine was such a nice touch, the water stock was helpful, the in room movies were a nice touch but we didn't use them, loved the cookies available to us 24 hours a day The Inn on First is "THE PLACE TO STAY IN NAPA", we would go back again and again...Thank you Jim and Jamie for opening your beautiful home and Inn as it is truly a magical place on earth

I had the pleasure of staying at the Inn on First a few weeks ago.

Inn on First is truly exceptional. I thought I've stayed at pretty nice B&Bs, but Jim and Jamie's place surpassed my expectations of a B&B. My BF and I needed a weekend getaway, and the Inn hit the spot for us. When we arrived at the Inn, we were greeted with a warm, sincere, and casual welcome. The room we had, First Crush, was perfect - upstairs and with a view of First Street. Although it was not our own bedroom, somehow, we felt right at home. We loved the hot tub, comfy bed and pillows, and bathroom (humongous shower!). True, there's no T.V. so we came prepared - brought a laptop and enjoyed a couple movies over a glass of champagne. We only stayed for one night and it usually takes us a night or two to get used to a new environment, but we had a great and restful sleep at the Inn. And the complimentary items! Lots of them - chocolate, nuts & crackers, champagne, brownies & bon bons, and rhubarb soda (yes, rhubarb and it was tasty). Speaking of food, breakfast was amazing. Fruit salad (not your typical fruits but fresh blackberries, pineapples, nectarines, etc . . .), yogurt, scones, tea, best-tasting orange juice, coffee, and hot breakfast entree of day - pillowy pancakes filled with cream and chocolate ganache topped with macarpone. We're definitely going back to Napa . . . not for the wine tasting.... but to enjoy Inn on First again.

As for Jim's breakfasts - oh, they were absolutely delicious and "to die for"! Our only regret is that we could not stay longer to enjoy the superbly yummy breakfasts! The Inn is located just a couple of blocks from Napa town centre - very convenient, and just a 10-minute walk away. All in all, we had fun and great memories of Napa. Due to a last-minute change in plans, we had to leave 1 night earlier than originally reserved. Upon check-out, the innkeepers were not in, and we did not expect any refund as it was very last minute. However, to our very pleasant surprise, they sent us an email to inform that they were voluntarily giving us a partial refund because we could not stay the night. That was unexpected and very gracious of them! Thanks, Jim and Jamie! If we ever return to Napa, we'll definitely be back to stay with you guys!

This trip was memorable, mainly because of our hosts' attentiveness, generosity, warmth, and sincerity. We'll never forget The Inn on First. We loved Jim's breakfast, especially the fluffy pancakes, killer homemade scones, and jam! Jamie was personable and went above and beyond to make us feel right at home. The room was uber comfy -- from the complimentary champagne, chocolates and bottled water, the cozy bed and charming fireplace, to the large shower and bathtub. And the ipod jack was a nice touch too! The room was always impeccably clean and we appreciated the eco-friendly options. The Inn has a modern touch that makes it stand out from other B&Bs. Jim and Jamie gave us excellent recommendations (picnic spots, restaurants, wineries) -- they are tapped into, and "in the know" of all things Napa Valley. Recommendations that stood out: The Martini House and Arger-Martucci winery. We can't stop talking about our amazing experience at The Inn on First. It was a welcome reprieve from the stressful bustle of NYC.

My wife and I have stayed twice at The Inn on First. We have already booked our next visit and plan on visiting twice every year from now on. Jamie and Jim made both of our weekend trips very memorable. They genuinely care that you have the best time of your life. The rooms are great, the landscaping very enjoyable, the food outstanding, and their help in enjoying Napa in invaluable. It's the best place to stay in Napa.

It was our first stay at any Bed and Breakfast, Jim & Jamie were so welcoming and their place looked great. I picked it online because, compared to other B&B's I especially was drawn to the more contempery look of the rooms, not your typical "teddy bears and lace" some would say. I love how accommodating they were for pet owners too. Lots of gated area for dogs to be in the garden, doggie bath and doggie shampoo. The room was even nicer in person, the hot tub and fireplace, so relaxing. I can't say enough of the food, do not skimp on the cookies, granola, home made jelly, yummy scones actually everything they made was home-made. The breakfast, well was so good, I ate some of my boyfriend's. I would recommend to anyone who wants to get away from the city for some quiet, yet luxurious rooms and great hosts.

The Inn on First is a wonderful boutique bed and breakfast providing an elegant oasis just a short stroll from downtown Napa’s restaurants, shopping and tasting rooms. If you are looking for a romantic bed and breakfast or just a relaxing weekend the Inn of First is the perfect sanctuary to rebalance your mind, body and spirit. The proprietors, Jim and Jamie and warm knowledge individuals who spend time with each guest to make sure all of their travel needs are met—from securing last minute dinner restaurant reservations to arranging tasting appointments at Napa Valley’s best wineries. Their suggestions for dinner reservations as well as tasting rooms to visit were exceptional. One of the highlights of our stay was eating the incredible breakfasts Jim made each morning. His cooking is truly outstanding. The Inn of First is fantastic and I look forward to returning in the near future.

The Inn on First is a perfect B&B to stop in for a night or to stay for a week. The inn keepers, Jim & Jamie, are the real hidden treasures in the Napa Valley region. Jamie provided thoughtful recommendations for us each morning in regards to our own travel plans. At breakfast he listened attentively to the needs of two different couples and one large group of four and provided customized recommendations for them as well. Jim & Jamie went above and beyond for all their guests in regards to booking restaurant reservations, spa accomodations and touring services. We all commented during breakfast time that they were an invaluable asset to making our trips to the Napa Valley unforgettable. We would highly recommend staying in the garden suites that have the jet spa bathtubs and access to the patio on the second story. The rooms are very spacious in the garden suites and it felt wonderful to have the patio doors open to let in fresh air while relaxing in the jet spa bathtubs. The peace & serenity of the outside garden area was perfect for reading by yourself or conversating with others. Your taste buds will thank you for treating them to the gourmet breakfast that Jim serves prior to you heading out for the day. The food (all organic products) is exceptional and we loved having access to homemade bakery goods all day long. The service is unquestionably the most accomodating and friendly we have encountered in our travels along the California coastline. We have since recommended the Inn on First to family members, friends & loved ones. Thank you to Jim & Jamie for being our standard of excellence for B&B's in Napa Valley region (and beyond).

The Inn on First is amazing! We chose this fine establishment because of the reviews written on TripAdvisor and similar travel sites, and we can honestly say this B&B lived up to every word and more! We stayed in First Crush located in the main house, and it was perfect. The attention to detail was impeccable as were the hosts. In fact, Jamie and Jim (the inn keepers) went out of their way to make our first visit to Napa a memorable one by helping plan our days, providing delicious breakfasts (and baked goods). On our last day, my wife and I had to get up at 6am to leave for the airport, and J&J packed us a bunch of goodies so we wouldn’t go hungry that morning. I definitely recommend this B&B to anyone.

We only had two nights at the Inn On First after spending the first two nights of our mini break in San Fran, we left wishing we had spent the whole four nights with Jim and Jamie. Our room, the Meritage was simply fabulous, so peaceful and beautifully decorated. Jim and Jamie were perfect hosts, from recommendations of wineries and restaurants to their truly amazing hospitality, the breakfasts are exquisite!! The setting and the overall ambiance is just perfect, beautiful gardens and house is so very welcoming. We will be back, hopefully for a longer stay next time and anyone looking for a perfect retreat in Napa should look no further, this is the only place to stay! Thank you Jim and Jamie, memories are made of this. Mike and Jen

Having travelled from the U.K. and visiting California for the first time (though not the first time to the US.)we chanced upon the Daughters Inn in August 2007. We must have a fairy godmother, because what we found was pure bliss. Jim & Jamie were the perfect hosts. We were in heaven. We stayed in the Canterbury Bell room, and words would fail to describe it adequately. The cleanliness, decor, serenity and food was fantastic. We have advised our friends here in the U.K. of what we consider to be one of the best B&B's we have ever stayed in, and we have travelled to most continents. The two inn keepers must surely be contenders for the inn keeper of the decade award.We will return. Dave & Helen Hopkins

This Inn was the very best B&B I have ever stayed at. The attention, the details, the perfection were elegantly displayed, however the Beazley's were so warm I forgot it was a business. The hospitality was overwhelming - not because they wanted us to feel that way, but because that's the way it was.
