We stayed in the Silverado room, which had a king bed and an ensuite bathroom with a shower and tub. It was really lovely! We were only there one night, so I didn't get the chance to explore the yard much, but it looked good. The room was clean and we appreciated the snacks and water they left us. The only down side was the noise from the neighboring property and the road, so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

I was traveling by myself and this was a perfect place for my one night in Calistoga. It was comfortable, clean, affordable, and convenient for walking into town. Although the room was small, it was perfect for me. The garden is quite lovely and the building is charming. It is on a busy road so might be a bit noisy if the window is open.

Great place to stay!!!
Very convinient location, you can walk to almost everything in downtown Calistoga. The owner was very nice and apologetic as they were doing some work on some of the rooms, we even got on upgrade because of it and couldnt be happier! Great place to stay!!!

From the beauty of its architecture, to the beautiful outdoor park-like settings, to the small details like complimentary coffee and breakfast passes for the Calistoga Roastery, the in-room snacks, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and water as well as the comfort of the bedding.... this was a beautiful stay in a home-like setting in a gorgeous historical town that took me back in time. Loved every moment of it and though there for business I truly was able to relax. Thank you Nick and Gillian for a wonderful experience!

If you’re looking for a more affordable stay in a more house like setting, then this is the place for you. I stayed here when I came to visit my family in Napa and it was perfect for what I needed. It was nice and homey. They gave me a bottle of some cheaper wine - which was appreciated regardless of the wine quality. They also have a cute kitchen and outdoor area to hangout in. Overall, it was exactly what I needed for the short amount of time I stayed in the area.

I don't know what to say. The last two guests in the same room gave us a 5 out of 5 review and were super happy. It's the same room, in the same Inn with the same service we always provide. What these guests were unhappy about beats me? I guess somewhere there is a mismatch of expectations. I know that folks looking for a charming room in a historical Inn have a great time, maybe these folks thought they were booking a chain hotel, that is not what we are or how we describe ourselves.

Used to 4 or 5 star hotels? don't stay here
I've never stayed at an "inn" before and I don't really think it was my vibe. The room felt like motel 6 with better sheets but worse mattress. There was no individual air conditioner controller in our bedroom and the ac can only be controlled by the owner who doesnt live on site. I don't think thats ideal and really dont think that for paying $500 for 2 nights, I should have to contact the owners to turn the ac up. Additionally, the bathroom was extremely tiny. I didnt see any photos of it when i booked. I couldnt stand all the way up in half of it. The bed was very bad and seemed very old. There is a reason they give you ear plugs. If you do not put ear plugs in you will be up all night. Even with at least a double pane window, you could hear EVERY car at all hours of the night. It is right off off a very busy highway road intersection. Only some bedrooms have a fireplace. Ours didnt. There is not real snacks or food offered which i find very interesting they include photos of food in the kitchen when they provide nor offer none and even have a sign that says you cannot use it based on their license, so again, that was perplexing. The living room is lovely though and so was the back yard, however the loudness of the street as its right off of the main highway made it very hard to find peace. I noticed the house keepers were bringing up bottles of sparkling wine to some of the rooms, we didn't get any, so not sure how thats decided.

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed our comfortable lounge areas. It is listed in the room description that our standard rooms are on Central AC, but we are always only a call or text away for whatever you need. If you prefer to be able to control the temperature in your room, we have several luxury king rooms with in-room AC units and fireplaces. These more modern rooms also have very spacious private bathrooms and upgraded king beds. We are not sure what photos you are referencing, but all stays do include a in-room coffee machine and mini fridge with complimentary bottled water, snacks, cookies, and other sweet treats. Although this room is located at the front of the house, we have done our best to minimize the little noise there is by upgrading all the windows to more modern double paned ones. Also, we are on the same two lane road as nearly every other lodging in town so traffic is the same everywhere and the valley is so quiet at night that any sound, even the occasional handful of cars per hour are audible but not noisy. We do offer a Champagne and Chocolates Package for 39 upon request. If this was something you were curious about or would have liked to have added to your stay, we are always only a text or call away for whatever you need. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon! Regards,NIck and Gillian Kite

We're group of 3 women who are best friend friends for almost 3 decades. We've been to Napa/Calistoga many times but never stayed overnight just to chill. Btw we live in the Bay Area and been to Napa Valley many times already but never stayed overnight. We're glad to find this place. It is close to local attractions. We had great time at Calistoga Wine Way Inn. The place maybe old but beautiful. Clean and "homey". The room we got was small for the 3 with a queen bed and a "cot" but it was comfy. In our room were complimentary snacks, coffee and tea pods, Kuerig coffee maker, small fridge and water bottles. We love the dining area at their "sun room". The deck at the back is nice. We just wished we could use their microwave to heat our food. 😊 We played scrabble in the living room at night and got to know one of the guests there who said he's a regular guest there. This is not a 5-star place but my friends and I is giving this place a 5-star and we highly recommend this place if you plan to visit Calistoga.

We were attending a wedding close by and stayed for 2 nights. The place was cute and clean. Because it was an old house converted to a BnB the room was very tiny. Not a lot of room for bags. There is a dresser in the room that helped. This would normally not be a big deal but we were going to another destination after this and we had large bags. If you were taking an overnight bag for a couple of days you will be fine. The bathroom was tiny too, not much room for make up and such. The Plus-although it is an old house the property was very clean, super comfy beds and they provide a lot of snacks, coffee and water-very much appreciated! Perfect walking distance to downtown Calistoga shopping and restaurants and wine tasting galore. I would stay again for a quick weekend!

Napa Room
First the good! The grounds were very nice and relaxing. The room was clean. There was a complimentary bottle of wine, snacks and bottled water. There was also complementary ear plugs, eye cover and masks. This leads me to the not so good. The room is TINY. There is about a foot between the end of the bed and the door. Not much room on either side of the bed either. The shower is DEFINITELY a shower for one and if you are of a bigger stature there is a chance you wouldn't fit. I am 5'9 and bumped my head on the ceiling a few times when using the restroom because it is angled. The AC control is for the whole home and is set by the owner. It became very warm in our room so we opened the windows which made the very loud street that much louder. The chair in the room was very rickety so much so that we only sat in it once. The bed was very noisy as well so if one person rolls over it wakes the other up. We didnt get much sleep.

As described, this is our smallest, simplest, least expensive room. Sounds as though one of our larger more expensive rooms would have been a better choice.The smaller, traditional rooms are on the central A/C. Our larger more expensive rooms all have their own guest-controlled climate control. It's unfortunate you decided not to let us know that you wanted the temperature lower, we would gladly have adjusted it for you.

Not sure what you didn't like with just a score and no comments. I have seen folks occasionally confuse how many stars a place has (i.e. its' amenity level, Four Seasons is 5 Star, Best Western 3 Star etc. ) with the score out of 5. Perhaps that was what you meant?We deliver a 5 out of 5 experience but we are not the Four Seasons and our rooms are about one-tenth their rates. Regards,Nick and Gillian Kite

Pleasant property perfect for my journey.
Inn keepers sent me a text with everything I needed to park and access my room. The room itself was small - fine for 1 person; EXCEPTIONALLY clean. The property was comfortable. My only complaint was that the room was in the very front of the house was pretty noisy with traffic throughout the night.

Unfortunately, Expedia does not allow us to describe our rooms. On our website we have this for the Napa Room:"This cozy room at the Wine Way Inn is on the upper floor at the front of the house in our turn-of-the-century inn. Very light sleepers may wish to choose a room more to the rear of the house."
