Built in 1872, this historic Ambrose Bierce House offers a unique blend of classic charm and modern amenities. This enchanting house features 5 bedrooms; three of these bedrooms boast private bathrooms and all the comforts you could desire. The other two are part of a 2-bedroom suite sharing a Jack-and-Jill style bathroom, ideal for families or groups.

Upon arriving at the house, guests are greeted by a lush front garden, where a majestic redwood tree stands as a serene sentinel, offering shade and beauty. This picturesque setting is perfect for leisurely strolls or simply enjoying the tranquility of nature.

The house also features a spacious parlor for relaxing, a cozy balcony complete with a porch swing and chairs—perfect for enjoying the serene surroundings. Our celebrated dining room is known for its friendly atmosphere and serves a daily breakfast exclusively for guests, as the kitchen is reserved for the innkeeper's use.

Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley, our location is second to none, surrounded by some of the finest wineries, with several within walking distance. Additionally, a couple of the rooms are enhanced by the warm glow of fireplaces, adding to the cozy, welcoming ambiance of the house.
