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! View Reviewer Info

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 View Reviewer Info

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.

My husband and I stayed at The Inn On First for 2 nights. It was a lovely B&B - spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming. Jamie was so knowledgeable and helpful - he gave us great tips on which of the 400 Napa vineyards to visit, as well as great restaurants in the vicinity. 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! View Reviewer Info

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.

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. View Reviewer Info
