The Chanric Inn was the best B&B we have stayed in to date. The decor was fabulous, the rooms very clean, and the food was to die for. And if that wasn't enough, Ric and Channing were wonderful hosts. We will definitely return.

We spent the first few days of our honeymoon at the Chanric in January 2009, and we had a wonderful time. We had the house to ourselves, and enjoyed a clean and spacious room, games in the living room, and complimentary bevarges. Our hosts provided a delicious breakfast in the warm sun (80 degrees) on the patio, which we weren't expecting for the middle of January. They gave us excellent reccommendations for wineries in the area, as well as reccommendations for delicious restaurants. We definitely want to visit the Chanric again, and would recommend it to all of our friends.

My wife and I stayed at the Chanric Inn for our anniversary. The breakfasts and service were the best we've ever had in any accommodations. In addition, both Ric and Channing were extremely helpful in directing us to smaller, independent wineries. Rooms are surprising comfortable. You can't go wrong staying here.

Ric and Chan couldn't have been more helpful during our stay. They both made sure that every detail was taken care of. The free beer, wine and soft drinks were a nice touch and the breakfasts were outstanding. Having breakfast on the patio in the Californian sun was perfect. The swimming pool and spa aided the relaxed experience. We will definately be back!

The Chanric Inn is not a bed and breakfast, it's a BREAKFAST and bed! Why? Because the breakfasts are amazing - three delicious courses made right on the premises by Ric and graciously served by the ever-charming Channing. But that's not to downplay the rest of the amenities. The rooms are very comfortable and nice, the pool is a great place to relax, and the massages are wonderful. Chan and Ric are very knowledgeable about the area and will even help you set up wine private wine tours. Forget big resorts, the Chanric is more intimate and delightful. It's truly one spot shopping.

This lovely little piece of heaven is the perfect spot for a stay in Napa county. From it's accessibility to everything (in Napa and Sonoma) to the amazing breakfasts, super comfortable beds and pampering treatment this was without question an incredible and memorable place to stay on my honeymoon. It doesn't hurt that Channing, Ric and Dinnigan were so wonderful and welcoming either.

There are too many wonderful things I can say about the Chanric Inn! My husband and I stayed here for our 1st wedding anniversary and we couldn't have picked a better place. The overwhelming feeling you get when staying at The Chanric is that it feels like home...so comfortable and inviting. And that is mostly to do with Ric and Chan (the innkeepers) making us feel so welcome...they are the best. This is a bed and breakfast that is truely a unique experience...the modern napa style decor set in a beautiful old victorian home...Gorgeous! The food was also amazing all local ingregients...Ric is a fabulous chef! And if that's not enough...the house dog, Dennigan, will win your heart! Thanks Ric and Chan for everything! - Kristin and Chris

I've now stayed at the Chanric a few times, and always have a wonderful, relaxing time. Ric and Channing, the charming proprietors, have always welcomed me like an old friend -- they both truly understand hospitality at its finest. The beds are outstandingly comfy, the rooms stylishly appointed, and the grounds impeccably charming. And then, the food -- perfection. I took pictures of each of the dishes gracefully laid out before me so I could remember, at least visually, what it's like to awaken to a perfectly prepared gourmet breakfast. The coffee/tea trays silently placed outside our room was a true joy to discover on the first morning -- I took my first dose of rich caffeine back into the comfy bed with me. The staff at the Chanric always goes above and beyond to ensure visitors know where to go in town, and around. I cannot wait for my next visit!

Ric and Channing are wonderful hosts and it is a most comfortable home away from home. Fabulous 3 course breakfasts, comfortable king size bed with beautiful white linens, and always a fresh pitcher of water on the counter and beverages in the stocked fridge. Tastefully decorated and wonderful outdoor patios and porches to enjoy. We will recommend to all and stay again on our next visit for sure!

The Chanric Inn, is a must place to stay. The owners Ric & Channing, go beyound the job of Inn Keeper. The Inn makes you feel like home, everything you could ask for. The morn breakfast is something that you get at a 5 star resturant. Most relaxing place to stay. The Inn is decorated, not alot of cheesee stuff of the wine country. The patio is excellent place to relax and enjoy the day or eve.

As first-time B&Bers, we found our stay at The Chanric to be phenominal. It was clean, breakfasts were great, service and recommendations were exceptional, rooms were quiet, and the beds...very comfortable. Our stay was a package which included the room, a choice of wine tour, and a massage for 2. The tour was exceptional (Schramberg), and the massages (one for each my husband and I) were one of the best we've had. Needless to say, we would stay at The Chanric again...and again....

As fellow innkeepers from Woodstock Vermont who detest pink, lace and false flowers, we have nothing but praise for the guys running this place. We spent many hours looking on the internet for a place that suits our tastes, similar to our inn but with a degree on individuality. In Napa we were amazed in having difficulty in finding such an establishment. At the Channric inn they have taken a property that was stuck in the 1980's and moved it visually into the 21st century. They offer simplicity with a contemporary style and impressive non traditional breakfasts. No French toast or waffles here! Ric cooks and serves a simple breakfast but the style and variety is impressive. Taylor their trusty hound is a delight and we spent many hours chatting and playing with him. The swimming pool was the right size and the wine cooler full of an interesting selection of refreshment. The only minor improvements we would suggest would be a small media centre (TV/CD/DVD) in the bedroom and a hook next to the shower to hang the complimentary robe on. Nothing else could be improved. The bed was big and very comfortable and the room carefully decorated. One very small negative which does not just reflect on this inn is the fact that most lodging places in the US seem unable to BOIL water for tea. As British innkeepers we do like a decent cuppa and most establishments seem unaware that you need BOILING water to make fresh tea. Ric and Channing responded to our plight like troopers.....we only wish more folks could be so accommodating. One comment made by some fellow travellers was about traffic noise. After discussing this issue upon booking it was suggested that we have a room at the rear of the property. We slept with the window open and slept very well. As fellow professionals we believe it will not be long until this inn is at the #1 spot in Napa.

I absolutely loved my stay with Chanric. The food is out of this world, the ambience is beautiful and cozy. I would recommend this for a romantic stay in Calistoga.

We stayed at the Chanric for 2 nights (in town for a wedding) and I cannot begin to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay. We normally stay at 5 star hotels and resorts but could not for this trip. Found the Chanric via the Internet and the Chanric changed my perceptions of B&Bs...the rooms were simply and elegantly decorated - what you would expect at a W but without the pretension. The 3-course breakfasts were to die for and an experience in and of themselves...a culinary treat with exemplary service to boot. A wine and beverage cooler were available for our drinking pleasure - of course, we did not take advantage of it but the fact that it was offered and pointed to at check-in was remarkable. Cannot say enough of how great Chanric is and looking forward to our next visit. Ric and Channing - you have far excelled in what you sought to establish in Chanric. We hope others are as lucky to find you as we were!

We were really happy with everything thing when Calistoga area is your destination. Simple, pristinely clean, exceptional food and service. The kitchen is A++++ and hosts are delightful. When we return to Napa this will be our home away from home. Debbie & Herb Mandeville, LA

My husband and I visited Calistoga for a wedding and The Chanric Inn was a wonderful place to stay. Our room was a little on the small side but perfect for our needs for the weekend. And the decor of the entire house is wonderful--elegant and contemporary. The owners, Ric and Channing, were great hosts. They are attentive and friendly but not in an overbearing way. The breakfasts prepared by Ric were AMAZING. One of the highlights of our trip was sitting out on the patio at a table for two, a grapevine hanging overhead, a fountain trickling water beside us, and feasting on the most delicious foods. (Strawberry muffins! An omelet that was to die for. . .) Channing was incredibly helpful and gave us great suggestions for things to do in the area. He really paid attention to the sites that would best match our needs and interests, and as a result we we had a perfect day of sightseeing. Our trip was just all around wonderful and at the end of the weekend we felt as if we'd just had a relaxing stay at a friend's house. We would stay here again. In fact, we'd like to round up enough friends or family to fill the entire place and stay a weekend with us. Thanks again, Ric and Chan, for a wonderful weekend!

My husband and I wanted to visit the Napa region and decided to stay in the Calistoga area. What a great town! Located in the northern part of Napa Valley, it allows for easy access to all wineries, shops and restaurants, spas. The Chanric Inn exceeded our expectations - from the simple, sophisticated decor to the fabulous gourmet breakfast carefully prepared for us each morning. The inn is beautifully designed and well appointed. You can chose to have breakfast in the dining room adjacent to the open kitchen, which allows for a lively exchange between guests and proprietors each morning, or step outside to beautiful stone patio with a fountain and listen to birds sing as you sip your morning coffee. Channing and Ric keep the place spotless and find ways to accommodate all guest requests. They are well liked in town and knowledgeable of all services that the area has to offer. They share this information, guiding their guests to the best local spa services, shopping, unique wineries and of course restaurants. All recommendations we received from them were top notch. The pool and hot tub were an added bonus. We went to bed totally relaxed each evening and woke up in the morning refreshed and hungry for that gourmet breakfast! A stay with Channing and Ric at the Chanric Inn is worth the trip - highly recommended.

Attention to detail says it all....whether it is the rooms, ambiance, or the fantastic breakfasts! Everything is done with loving care, sincerity, and with an artistic eye which sets this Inn apart from all others. If a romantic interlude is your desire, there is no better place to reconnect with the one you love. The Chanric Inn has it all! Thank you Ric and Channing for setting the standard and making our stay at your Inn extraordinary. Francine & Peter

Simply Wonderful! No other words can describe the 5 night stay my wife and I enjoyed here in late May in celebration of our 50th birthdays. We began planning our trip last year, and spent weeks on the internet viewing numerous places to stay. Our only hesitation came from never having stayed in a bed & breakfast. However, I am glad we followed our instincts and booked it as we could not have been happier with the choice. Owners Channing and Ric are marvelous hosts, and this Victorian house just north of Calistoga is a wonderful place to visit. The grounds and views are lovely. Breakfasts each morning are unhurried affairs, with an ever-changing menu of delicious cuisine. Imagine waking each morning to the smell of muffins or scones baking in the oven. The menu changes daily, and you get 3 courses with baked goods, a fruit dish, and then an egg dish. It comes with coffee, tea, and juice. The New York Times and San Francisco Chronicle are there to read each morning. There is also water, soda, beer, and wine for you to drink any time you want. This old house has been updated in a soft understated modern look, with nice muted colors. There are beautiful old wood floors. Our king bed was very comfy, with soft sheets and a plush duvet. Small but nice bath, including large fluffy towels. There is also a nice sized pool with a separate spa, with robes in your closet to use. Relax on the swing on the patio. If you can’t leave your computer at home (we did) the place does have WiFi. Ric and Channing become immediate friends and are perfect hosts, and will arrange reservations and winery visits for you. I just cannot give enough praise to this wonderful place. Our visit included plenty of winery tours, great restaurants, shopping, spa time, and periods of quiet relaxation at the Inn. We would love to return someday! Thanks guys for a wonderful visit! We can recommend you book this place without hesitation as it is a marvelous place to stay.
