    My husband and I went to The Inn On First on the recommendation of our daughter and son-in-law who spent a week there last year in celebration of their 5th wedding anniversary. We found the inn to be simply charming. It is clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. We found it to be joyful to come home to after every outing, always with fire burning in the fireplace and pleasant, soft music playing in the background. The inn keepers are equally delightful. Jim is a terrific and creative cook. Jaime is the tasteful and creative decorator. Both hosts are gracious and most helpful to their guests. That goes all the way from making sensible rules that help to insure the enjoyment of all of their guests to making recommendations about sightseeing, restaurants, etc., giving directions and making dinner reservations. We definitely give this B&B 5 stars!

    Jim and Jamie are the most amazing and hospitable people you will meet in Napa Valley, CA. We found them both to be very informative about the Napa Valley area, so if you don't know what to do just ask and they will plan an awesome day of fun filled adventure. Great for dogs, so if you travel with your animal family you WILL want to stay here. Don't worry about breakfast there is a gourmet meal each morning with something new everyday, not just your everyday pancakes and eggs await you. If you are ever in Napa Valley and are looking for a great place to stay The Inn on First is the only place. My husband, myself, and our dog family will be back. Thanks Jim and Jamie for making our first trip to Napa Valley "a trip to remember".

    The house is beautiful from the moment you walk in. There is a nice sitting room with complimentary port and snacks with a super cozy fireplace. Made us feel welcome from the moemnt we got there. Our room was nice and secluded. Even though the Inn was fully booked while we were there we felt very alone in our room which was great. The breakfast each morning was amazing and they accommodated diet restrictions without complaint. The churros and scones were ridiculously good! Jamie was very personable and gave us great tips on how to spend our time in Napa. We loved our trip and would definitely go back next time we are in Napa!

    I knew we would like this B&B within minutes after I made the reservation, because about 5 minutes thereafter, I received a confirmation email with advice and recommendations as well as another email asking about breakfast preferences, etc. Any innkeeper with that much attention to detail certainly has his work cut out for him, and we weren't disappointed in the least. We were in room #5, a beautiful room in the main house. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, the linens were great quality, and we both slept very well both nights we were there. The bathroom was immaculate and included a great jacuzzi tub and fireplace. I had been in touch with Jamie via email a few weeks prior to the trip and he had provided some great tips on which vineyards to visit. Once we decided on them, Jamie set up the appointments with them. All we had to do once we got to Napa was have Jamie show us where to go and we were all set. They even provided loaner picnic boxes and water bottles. After a long day of driving around and visiting wineries, there was nothing like coming back and having one of Jim's delicious cookies. The breakfasts were phenomenal - I still can't stop thinking about his amazing Hawaiian pancakes. I can't recommend this B&B enough.
