    Great! And the owners were also great.

    The unit where my daughter stayed had tiny ants that devoured a pastry. None noticed in our unit.

    It was within walking distance to the center of town for breakfast options. Or you could walk/drive and bring something back as the units had minimal kitchen wares. And most of our family were walkers.

    It is in desperate need of a face-lift as everything was really old. The room stank terribly when we arrived because of the mineral jacuzzi (sulfuric smell) so we spent the whole stay airing it out but there weren't screens on all windows so that was a challenge. The shower was terrible.

    This was an interesting place. The mineral jacuzzi in-room was a unique amenity. Close to town - about 10 minute walk to Cal Mart. On site parking was clutch. Staff were friendly.

    We LOVED the pool and hot tub! Both were nice and warm, and using them in the first week of April was completely comfortable. The property was old, but nicely maintained. There were no musty smells that you often get with older properties! We loved the little kitchen and living room option, and it was what sold us. The homemade kitchen soap was lovely!

    The front steps were of uneven heights and very high. The side door which was easier to enter couldn’t be opened with the key.

    Loved the layout of the unit and the convenient location.

    The sulfur smell from the tub water smells like rotten eggs. Although Gina offered a small bottle of oil to defer the smell, we needed many candles & more oils to take away the smell. There was no stirrer for coffee. Bring your own water, they do not provide for the small coffee pot. Another suggestion, to have flavored creamers.

    The jacuzzi tub was huge in Room #1, it was clean, and Gina was so nice at the office. The location was perfect, close to downtown. They have a microwave, frig, & a small coffee pot. The bed was comfortable, and lots of windows for natural sunlight.

    We were given cottage #12 which had full kitchen facilities. While my friend and I love to cook, this would have been ideal if we were staying longer than 2 days. We spent 2 days wine tasting using the Calistoga Chamber of Commerce Winter in the Wineries passport. We tasted fabulous wine from nearby wineries. A great market nearby, CalMart has a deli with limited hot food, sandwiches & fantastic cheese and other accoutrements. We’ll definitely be back as we live only an hour away and belong to 4 wine clubs. We didn’t try the pool but planned to. The pool is heated but the weather was very rainy & cold.

    Interior a bit worn. Maybe time for a refresh. No plug points near beds for phone charging. Kitchen could do with a few more items - glasses would be a start.

    Location. Pool area. Size of cottage. Outside areas in general. We absolutely adored Calistoga.

    The location, while convenient and unusually quiet, was a few blocks from the center of the Calistoga business/rourist district. Not saying that's a bad thing though.

    I really liked the overall ambience- kind of traditional non-chain lodging. Put another way, it had a classic vibe like 50 years ago, but was completely up to date in terms of strong wi-fi, etc. Very quiet, which I appreciate. It was great! The pool was really amazing, the warmest I have encountered since I don't know when, which I happen to like. Highly recommend.

    I was not able to get Wi-Fi working on my laptop for some reason. I called but was unable to get any answers. I was just told that it works. I ended up using my phone as a hotspot.
