Great Place To Stay

4.8 on October 04, 2016

Great place to stay. Charming cottage just a short walk from downtown. Friendly staff, clean, comfortable. I would consider A Calistoga Enchanted Cottage a bargain considering how much more expensive most places are in the area... I would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in the area.

Extraordinary

4.6 on February 17, 2016

Very tranquil, peaceful, and relaxing with extra's. We were underneath very large pine and oak trees, it's scenic overlooking Calistoga valley area - lots of trees and infinite breaths of fresh air. We were so pleased with the hospitality, the friendliness, the solitude. Cary delivered a breakfast basket each morning, so quietly the birds never stopped singing, the notes were lovely, special, indeed for my wife. A bit more than I anticipated or expected, truly enchanting.

A truly enchanting place to stay

4.8 on May 25, 2014

I have stayed here at least 15 times over the last 15 years, and I've always had a great experience. Rebecca and Cary are wonderful hosts. Several times we have brought our dog with us, and they always make him feel welcome too. The cottages are very private and the atmosphere is laid-back. I love Rebecca's photography that decorates the walls in both cottages! The breakfast basket you find on the porch in the morning is a nice, light way to start the day. Relaxing on the porch with a glass of wine, or sitting by the fireplace enjoying the company of friends, you can't go wrong staying here.

Fun Time!!

4.8 on March 06, 2014

Had a most fun time at this place over the last valentines day weekend! The cottage was a sweet treat for two people needing a break from life. Wine,fireplace,bathtub i think you get the picture.We walked a short couple of blocks to town for dinner at all seasons at Careys suggestion. Great food to go along with a little cottage upon our return.For us this fit the bill simple, clean, romantic little rustic house on the hill close to nature. Breakfast was a enjoyable assortment of muffins,cheese's fruits,juice and organic coffee. Will be telling all our friends about this hidden little place.

Fantastic Cottage

Private Getaway

4.0 on May 13, 2013

The little cottage house is very private and further away from the road then the other cottage. Worked out just fine for our anniversary get away. Thank you Cary for the firelog you gave us for the fireplace and the continental breakfast delivered early to our porch.Liked the four poster bed,kitchen, and clawfoot bathtub.Places like these are hard find these days that have their own special charm.Most of the linens seemed rather new also.Thanks again to the staff!

Nice and Relaxing Stay!

4.0 on January 10, 2013

Thank you for a quiet and relaxing weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your suite! The two beds in there worked out perfectly for the two of us. And the morning coffee and basket were perfect. This place is romantic enough for two or has enough space for other people to tag along.

Restful Stay!!

4.4 on December 11, 2012

Had a delightful stay at this inn in Oct 2012! Everything meet or exceeded our expectations. Don't know what i can say that hasn't been said already looking at other reviews on here. For us we were able to get to all our appointments at the spas and wineries quite easily due to the great location of this inn. A few steps to downtown but yet secluded. The historic cottage we stayed in had everything we have at home and then some.Sweet, glowing little white lights that come on at dusk on the cottage front porch, a warm greeting when you arrive back for that sit down relaxing home time. the last glass of wine, front porch & fireplace time. We will be back with friends next year and take the other cottage as well and do some partying and some fun time together. We love the Napa Valley.

Quirky and peaceful little getaway

3.8 on July 28, 2012

We stayed here for our one-year anniversary and had such a sweet, relaxing time together. It was in the high 90s that weekend, but they already had the a/c on for us, cooling the cabin down. We were met with the same consideration the next day when we came back from a sweltering bike tour - the a/c turned on and a cool cabin waiting for us. The four-poster bed is a little elegance out of place from the shabby-chic quality of the rest of the place, but I loved that incongruity. It was such a comfortable comfortable bed for some very stressed out people looking for a relaxing weekend. We were delighted to find we could walk to the center of town so quickly, and then retreat to our rustic little hideaway at the end of the night. White Christmas lights ring the porch, leaving such a romantic glow to come home to. We loved peeking out the window in the morning to see the breakfast basket on the porch, and then fetching it to eat the simple but wholesome breakfast in bed. SO relaxing. It was too hot to use the fireplace, unfortunately, but they made sure we had a little starter log available even if we wanted to go for it anyway! It's not a 5-star resort, but it's also not plasticky/cookie cuttery. It's a lovely, relaxing place to stay.
