I expected more for $325 per night. I realize it is “harvest season” however harvest is delayed until probably the end of October! Places just off the Main Street are the same price you just need to book sooner than I did. We had mild on our shower curtain and the water smelled like dirt/mold. The refrigerator stunk terribly. We had a full size coffee maker with single serve packed coffee. How does that make sense?? One garbage bag in the bathroom and no where else. Spend a little more and stay somewhere else!!

The cottage is very nice, but the air in the bedroom is noisy and loud. Hard to continue on during the night. Everything is very clean and basic. I thought a little pricey, for what was provided.

The room was super cute, the bed was comfortable and the mineral soaking tub was amazing; however, I hardly got any sleep at all because the air conditioner barley put out any air, and kept auto shutting off every 10 minutes or so, waking me up. It was in the 100's while were were there, so that was pretty miserable. Also, there are no light darkening shades, so was woken up at 5:30 am with the sun. So, other than not really getting any sleep on our anniversary trip, everything else. was great!

We loved it so much. Very cute and beautiful hotel, nice and friendly hotel personnel. Comfortable, clean and very nice place, quiet and safe. The hotel gave us free tickets for the shuttle, too. Close to stores and restaurants. Will definitely come back.

What a pleasant surprise! The staff was friendly, helpful, and the room was clean and beautifully stocked with plenty of towels, comfortable linens. The pool was clean and spacious, and the chairs and tables were comfortable. I appreciated the little seating areas outside the cottages to relax. A quick and easy walk through sweet, local neighborhoods to the local grocery and all the shops you will want to see on Lincoln. I will be back to Carlin Cottages again for sure.

Nice vintage looking motel motor court a few streets back from Main St. It was basic accomodations but nice for a few nights. Ours had a kitchen, 2 full beds and a bathroom. Needs a bit of a refresh. One of the tiles in our bathroom was broken, shower was a tub shower combo with a shower curtain that just kept sticking to your body, since the tub was so small. Wall were thin so we could hear our next door neighbors very clearly. They were up late and early, not doing anything wrong, just having a good time but it was loud. I was there with a friend and we split the cost, otherwise it would have been way too expensive for a couple.

We thank you for your feedback. We strive to keep our rooms clean and comfortable for our guest. Yes we don't offer many amenities to keep our prices low as the Napa valley has become too expensive for many travelers. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know your concerns.

We stayed in the Junior suite with a kitchen and sofa which was nice and roomy for the two of us. The mineral pool and hot tub are great and were close to our room. Short walk or drive to the Main Street. Plenty of towels were supplied and the room heater was quite warm.

Darling little cottages and the mineral water is so warm and nice. My skin is baby soft after bathing. The mattresses are very hard, at least in cottage 14 that is the only thing we found uncomfortable.

Great place to stay with jetted tub with mineral water in your cottage, ready to use anytime you want. Relaxing property in a few minutes of walking to the main street, still quiet giving feeling of being in rural area.

Our 2022 anniversary celebration
Our cottage was very clean. The big hot tub in room was fantastic. Bed was very comfortable. With real clean bedding . We had ample towels. Because there was no daily housecleaning. And no room service between 9pm & 9am. Our particular cottage did not have much lounge area, small table with two wooden chairs. My wife and I had a little trouble getting in and out of the raised hot tub, kind of dangerous for elderly /disabled . But the hot tub overwhelmed any negatives. We enjoyed our 3 nights .
