The Banks House, Upscale 3BD/3BA Home,10 Min Walk to World Class Downtown Napa

CITY OF NAPA LICENSED VACATION RENTAL: VR17-0081

Come and enjoy all that Napa has to offer at The Banks House. This beautiful Victorian home is located next to downtown Napa on First Street. It is listed in the Napa historic register and is elegantly nestled among other Victorian homes designed by one of Napa Valley’s renowned architects, Luther Turton, in the 1890s. In 2018 the house was extensively remodeled, creating an updated light filled home, which includes all the modern amenities while retaining its original Napa Victorian charm.

The Banks House provides an ideal base for your Napa visit. It is a short (10 minute) pleasant walk into downtown Napa and its acclaimed restaurants, wine tasting rooms, theaters, entertainment and shops. The house is a convenient two minute drive from Highway 29, providing access to the Up Valley Napa towns and wineries.

The Banks House has two bedrooms, each with a king size bed, and two new full bathrooms located on the upper level, and downstairs is a new large suite. The house can accommodate 6 overnight guests.

The home’s upper level provides a light filled open floor plan with distinctive Victorian era high ceilings, providing a wonderful setting for your group to enjoy time together. As you move through the seamlessly free-flowing layout that connects the living room, dining room and kitchen, you will enjoy sweeping views of the backyard garden and barn. The new kitchen and all new bathrooms feature white subway tile, stone countertops, state of the art appliances, sparkling new fixtures, gleaming hardwood floors and porcelain/marble floor tile.

The butler's pantry off the kitchen offers a wine refrigerator and another sink, which will be the hub of your wine tasting entertaining. The dining room and living room are invitingly furnished with plush, comfortable sofas, flat screen TV and a spacious farmhouse dining table, where you will gather for meals and conversation. For your comfort, the air conditioning and heating systems have two zones (upper level and lower level) to keep the home temperate.

Downstairs, you will enter through a rustic barn door, and find a large suite, which includes a living room with desk, flat screen TV and inviting sofa and swivel chairs, a king size bed and an adjoining bathroom with a beautiful farmhouse vanity with dual vessel sinks and a spacious shower with glass door.

Step out to the yard, and you will find yourself in an oasis: olive trees, lavender, trumpet vines, camellias and roses. At the far end, marvel at the historic barn next to the cozy al-fresco picnic table, where you will dine in complete shade. Hone your skills on the bocce court while being cheered by your family and friends as they sit alongside the bocce ball court. The garden lights create a magical, romantic setting in the evening. The Banks House will indulge you with an authentic and memorable Wine Country experience.

The Banks House is one of only 42 legally permitted, entire home vacation rentals in Napa. Our vacation rental license number is: VR17-0081.

Beautiful house with so many lovely details
I brought my mother and two other family members to Napa for a long weekend and this property was perfect for a girls' trip. Centrally located and close to downtown Napa (two members of our crew were too old to walk the .8 or so miles to downtown, but it would be walkable for most groups). Elizabeth, the hostess, was so helpful with Napa-area recommendations before our trip. The house is beautifully remodeled and very comfortable, with thoughtful touches like a full, well-stocked coffee bar. We had a lovely time and I would recommend this property to anyone for a low-key stay in Napa.

Excellent location and squeaky clean!
The four of us stayed in this beautiful home for 5 nights and everything about it was 5 stars. The location is perfect, a quick drive to wineries and restaurants. The host sent us recommendations in the area which was very helpful. The kitchen is fully stocked with every utensil and appliance you could need. The beds were comfortable and the entire house was immaculate. Would love to stay here again on our next trip!

Everything You Need! Our stay at The Banks House was nothing short of amazing. The property was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. From basic amenities like trash bags, seasoning, and laundry soap, to fun extras like a bocce court for family fun, they had it all covered.The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep after exploring the local area. The location was absolutely perfect, allowing us to walk to all the great spots in downtown. Elizabeth,was exceptionally accommodating. She was always available to answer our questions and her list of recommendations for local attractions, cafe’ and dining was spot on. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. It felt like a home away from home, and we look forward to booking again for our next visit. If you're considering a trip to the area, do yourself a favor and book The Banks House—you won't be disappointed!

Classy and Elegant Home— Six Stars
This home was by far the nicest VRBO (or Airb&b) I have stayed in. Beautifully designed and decorated, the home is immaculately clean— even the pillow shams had been washed and the chandelier dusted. The linens are high-count and comfortable. Additionally, the home had everything one could need. I have read reviews on VRBO that made the same claim— for this one, it’s true. The kitchen appliances are all high-end. There’s a wine refrigerator with complimentary bottles provided, an electric tea kettle with a wide selection of tea, two coffee makers with plenty of coffee provided, soap, shampoo, and conditioner in each bathroom, etc. The home is in a quiet location, yet is still an easy walk to downtown. Being comfortable and well-rested, our group — a reunion of women Army veterans—was able to enjoy a wonderful time together in Napa. Elizabeth is a wonderful host who provides a wealth of information.

Beautiful home!
The home was perfect for our girls trip to Napa for three nights. The location is great - just a short walk to town. This is not one of those cheap rentals with cheap decor, furniture and kitchenware - everything was very nice and well stocked. We would definitely stay here again!

50th Birthday Girls Getaway
The Bank House in Napa was the perfect place to celebrate our respective 50th birthdays with childhood friends! From the initial booking to check-out, our host Elizabeth was amazing every step of the way. She was attentively responsive to all of my questions. Her home was beautiful, immaculate, and meticulously well-appointed. She really had the traveler’s needs in mind. Prior to arrival, she sent wonderful recommendations for restaurants, vineyards, and happenings in downtown Napa. You couldn’t ask for a more perfect and convenient location to walk into town or drive to visit vineyards. We are looking forward to our return and would absolutely stay here again. Elizabeth was truly the best host and would highly recommended choosing the Banks House for a Napa visit!

Perfect girls' weekend getaway house
The Banks House is perfect in so many ways. As our group of college girlfriends said, "The house is so beautifully designed, furnished and appointed!" The kitchen had everything that we needed. Our favorite spot in the house was the butler's pantry. We loved the collection of stemware, cups and mugs and the coffee/tea station had everything we needed. Such a cute space. Everyone thought the beds were so comfortable. We appreciated that all the beds are king-sized. Love the extra thick bath towels. Everything felt so luxurious. On top of that, the location is perfect for strolling downtown to enjoy the many restaurants and shops as well as hopping into the car to go wine-tasting in the valley. If we didn't have so many things to do in the Napa area we would have been perfectly happy to just relax in the house all day/night. Thank you, Elizabeth for everything including sharing some of the goings-on in town! We will definitely be back again!
