BEST ADVICE EVER. Even before we got there I could tell how nice and accommodating the entire staff was. we booked the upgraded little bungalow and the famous Calistoga Mud Bath. It was worth every penny to ensure my wife had the most wonderfully relaxing birthday she could imagine. The room was great, the pool and hot tubs were fantastic, the bungalow had its own soaking tub inside as well, but the mud bath was insanely relaxing and leaves your skin feeling amazing. The grounds are beautiful as well, they have bikes you can take for a spin, and bocci ball which I personally love as well. tons of great eats with 5 mins from the property. I couldn't recommend more. 10/10 Stars

We had the best experience enjoying their three hot springs pools each at a different temperature. Two were jacuzzi pools and the other a swimming pool. All three of these are under a large metal covering. There are lockers and changing rooms right next to the pools. We also experienced their mud baths and in spa showers. Some guests were staying on property. Golden Haven offers other services such as massages and herb mineral baths and detox soaks with salt scrubs. It was a very healing experience. If you are visiting Calistoga, check out Golden Haven. It is a family owned and operated business. All staff is friendly and helpful.

This was our first time staying at a Bed and Breakfast, so we didn't really know what to expect. We…read moreimmediately loved the location as it's in the heart of Calistoga, right on Lincoln Avenue. As soon as we arrived, as we were getting out of our car, we were greeted by name by Chris, one of the two owners. He was so welcoming and friendly! He gave us a quick tour and helped us figure out how to use the Keurig. It was close enough to 5pm, so he whisked us away to the beautiful wrap around porch for the daily wine and cheese social. There we met Brent, his partner, who was equally as charming and funny. They were magnificent hosts throughout our stay! We only wish we had stayed on a weekend so that we could enjoy the luxurious brunch we had seen in photos. However, since we woke up on a weekday, we each received a $25 breakfast voucher to use at one of 3 local eateries. We opted for Bella Bakery on Lincoln. Thanks for the rec, Brent! It did not disappoint and those vouchers were plentiful. I also really appreciated the little details, like the complimentary water, the snack bags for the next day, and the toiletries in our bathroom. Thank you for making our first experience at a B&B a wonderful one! We will absolutely be recommending this B&B to our friends and family!

From the moment we arrived, Brent and Chris made us feel like old friends coming home. The evening wine and cheese hour was such a treat. Local wines, great cheeses, and friendly conversation with other guests created this wonderful sense of community. And breakfast? Out of this world. Perfectly fluffy beignets, a croque madame baked in a delicate crepe, and berries tossed in a spiced wine syrup with cinnamon and star anise. It honestly rivaled any restaurant brunch I've ever had. The big wraparound porch was our favorite spot to relax, whether sipping morning coffee or enjoying a glass of wine at sunset. The location is ideal too, right in downtown Calistoga but still incredibly quiet and peaceful at night. Every detail here feels thoughtful, and every interaction genuine. You arrive as guests, but you really do leave as friends.

My wife and I have a long-standing tradition of spending New Year's week here, and honestly, it's…read morewhere some of our favorite memories have been made. Solage is nestled right on the Silverado Trail in the heart of Calistoga, and the location is unbeatable--you're basically three minutes from downtown and a short, scenic drive from St. Helena and Yountville. The property itself is stunning. It's got that modern wine-country vibe with about 100 detached studios spread across 20-plus acres. When you're sitting in one of the natural hot spring pools or hitting the cold dips at the spa, it really does feel like world-class luxury. Between the mud slides, the gravity chairs, and the fitness classes, you can easily spend your whole trip without leaving the gates. The Food: Solbar is a must. We had the seven-course New Year's Eve prix fixe with wine pairings over numerous years, and each were equally unique and incredible. It's that perfect balance of farm-to-table "health" food and total comfort dishes. For something more low-key, Picobar by the pool has some of the best Baja-style tacos I've had in NorCal. Plus, the whole place is super dog-friendly, which is a huge win for us. The Experience & Pro-Tip: Definitely book through AmEx Platinum if you can. We used the Fine Hotels + Resorts program and snagged a $300 credit, a late 4 p.m. checkout, and an automatic upgrade. I will say, even "perfect" places have their off moments. This year, despite requesting a room close to the spa months in advance (and confirming twice), they initially tucked us away at the far edge of the property. I wasn't thrilled about hiking across 22 acres in my robe and sandals! I spoke with the front desk, and the concierge actually went back and reviewed my recorded calls to verify the request. They did move us about 30 minutes later to a spot half the distance away, though it lacked the private fenced patio and fireplace of our original booking. I was too tired to keep fighting it and just wanted to get to the spa, so I settled in. Despite that hiccup, the service and the atmosphere here remain some of the best in the world. It's not cheap, but for the memories and the access to Napa's best vineyards, it's worth it every time. Can't wait to be back next year.

We…read morevisited Solage and had a pleasant time, although compared to Stanly Ranch or ADS, Solage fell a bit short of expectations. Compared to Stanly, the rates for rooms were more expensive while I felt the Stanly offered a much better campus. Despite the comments about the campus, the food onsite was pretty good and the reviews will be posted in their respective pages. The room service could have been better as they missed delivery of the pre-ordered breakfast in the morning as the night shift didn't properly fill in the order request and didn't get placed, but the team quickly remedied the situation and delivered not too long after our original request time. The rooms were comfy with a good layout, but the garden out back were covered with fences and it didn't feel as freeing as Stanly Ranch's rooms where the back patio is uncovered. Overall, I'd visit Stanly or Auberge du Soleil when going back to the Napa area.

This is a boutique hotel with 33 rooms (I believe) and a few cottages. The main building is a…read more2-story, registered historical landmark. The hotel is over 100 years old and it's maturity is part of its charm. There was some work being performed in a guestroom on the 2nd floor but they worked on it for short periods every day. Love the strategy. There is no insulation on guestroom doors so it's easy to hear conversations and heavy slamming doors. There is no elevator so the 2nd floor doesn't appear to be Accessible. There are rooms on the 1st level however. The jacuzzi was wonderful and hot Tuesday morning but lukewarm on Thursday morning. Front desk staff state every now and then a guest inadvertently turns it off, and did so Wednesday night by pressing the Emergency button (instead of the timer for the jets). Bummer. It took hours for it to reheat. Maybe a sign for the jets could discourage that from happening again. Check In & Staff: Male staff were friendly and helpful - especially Manny!! The hotel does have a luggage cart but it won't help those staying on the 2nd floor since there is no elevator. However 2 of the guys volunteered to follow me outside to the car to retrieve my luggage. Soooo much appreciated! They not only carried them upstairs to my room but came back to carry them again when I relocated to a different room. They wouldn't even except a tip! Thanks guys! My heros. Other staff: The female staff at the front desk wasn't as friendly but maybe she had an off couple days. No eye contact, acknowledgement, or smile. She did engage however when spoken to. All other staff - housekeeping (especially), maintenance, painters, etc., were genuinely friendly and helpful. It made my stay relaxing which was much needed! Thanks again. Breakfast: Staff prepare a daily breakfast tray that's delivered to each room at your preferred time. Breakfast consisted of FRESH and DELICIOUS breads, lemon cake, a tangerine, and a warm pot of mild-blend coffee. Room: Towels were fluffy, soft, good-smelling, and appeared new! The linen and robes were fresh and clean. The room was well furnished and the environment inviting. The bed was on the firm side but was very comfortable. I had to remember not to sit on the edge too long though because the ribbing on the edge of the mattress hurt. There was no bottled water in the room but there was a carafe to be filled with ice/water at the Hydration Station located on the 1st floor. It would have been nice to have a Station upstairs too or bottles of water for upstairs guests. Having a mini fridge and safe in the room was a nice touch. A microwave somewhere for guests (use) would have been nice for reheating leftovers. Window screens would have been nice to enjoy fresh air in the room without bugs. Bathtub stopper should probably be replaced because it was old, discolored, and soiled. Bathroom walls could use a little touch-up paint but none of those issues were big deal breakers for me. The things that could have definitely been better in the room were the loud bathroom fan (and the inability to turn it off independently from the light switch) and the hum from the mini fridge. The fridge clicks on/off 24/7, and at night when its quiet the hum is annoying. Glad I brought adapters for electronics since there are standard electrical outlets only, and no place to plug in USB cords. Check Out: Payment for your room is deducted from your credit card at the beginning of your stay when you check in. To check out you can drop your room keys in the box at the front desk. I chose to wait (10 minutes) for staff to return to the desk for a receipt. Value: I didn't visit the hotel spa this visit. However even with the Spring Special the hotel seems a bit overpriced, and without the spa is probably closer to a 3-star hotel. Caveat though is that everything in Calistoga appears to be overpriced - after all it's a resort town. Love the peace and tranquility though. Overall a really nice stay and I definitely recommend.

BOOKING: Below are our hotel RESERVATION DETAILS: Arrival Date: December 21, 2022 Departure Date: December 23, 2022 Average Room Rate Before Tax: $191.25 with a 15% AAA discount Room Type: Petite Queen Guestroom Total Room & Tax: $440.62 Deposit Policy: Deposit required of first night's stay plus tax ($233.27) and any hotel guest packages to secure reservation. I booked our room (initially for checking in on December 19 and checking out on December 21) directly via their website, paying a $233.27 deposit, but after reviewing the Reservation Confirmation, had to reach out to the team because the 15% AAA discount off of the $225/night rate was erroneously calculating to $202.50/night instead of $191.25/night. Guest Services confirmed that there was a glitch in their system and they quickly corrected the error. A couple of days later, I reached out again to request to move our stay dates. The request was granted without issue. HOTEL: Mount View Hotel and Spa​ is a Mission Revival style boutique hotel and historical Landmark nestled in the heart of Calistoga. No onsite parking lot; however, we were able to easily find free parking nearby. Upon entry, visitors are greeted by the warmth of the inviting lobby and vibrance from its eccentric interiors. With peppy Art Deco décor and furnishings, the inn boasts a charming ambiance that takes guests back to the 1920's and 1930's era. We stayed on the second floor in Room 221, a chic bedchamber with nods to the early 20th century, furnished with a high-quality, comfortable bed, flat-screen television, espresso machine, fridge, and glassware for self-catering. HOTEL SERVICE: The front desk staff, especially Manny, was extremely friendly and helpful. One night, when I couldn't find unmetered parking, Manny assured me that parking overnight in the metered spaces along the front of the hotel on Lincoln Avenue would not trigger a citation, even during the metered times. Seeing that I was apprehensive to do this, he promised to cover the cost of a parking ticket, if I would receive one. He was right; the timed metered parking was not enforced the next day. The complimentary light coffeehouse-style continental breakfast with fresh coffee, tea, fruit, juice and pastries, delivered directly to our room each morning was also very nice. TRUE SPA CALISTOGA: The whimsical accoutrements continue in the spa. No showers, but small, private lockers with robes and slippers are assigned to each patron. Since we were staying at a spa hotel, we booked appointments for restorative spa experiences, for Thursday, the 22nd, at 2:00 PM. It was very convenient to stumble downstairs for facials and revitalizing body treatments + massages. Our appointments were for the Detox + Glow (90MIN) (BODY THERAPIES) package, a relaxing combination of upper body massage (neck, arms, and shoulders) paired with a facial focus using Blue Beautifly Organic Skincare alongside the Bentonite Clay Mud Mask to nourish the body and skin head to toe. 90 minutes for $280 included a fully body massage. I was assigned to technician Rosa Cisneros who was very nice. The sessions were soothing and relaxing; however, Mom and I were confused at the conclusion, thinking that we were still to receive a full body mud mask or wrap, as per the description of the Detox + Glow package. Due to no mud mask, we were given a 15% discount. VERDICT: Mount View Hotel & Spa is a charming establishment and perfect place to slow down time and enjoy a respite.

At the time, it was a little pricey, but something we could afford occasionally. Now, let's just say big buckets of money. My daughter is now a doctor and married, and she recently visited for the holidays. I looked for something special for a relaxing time because of holiday travel and their work lives. I was so lucky to speak to Eli to inquire about a 2 day stay. Out of all our visits I feel this was the friendliest conversation and pretty much booked it because of Eli. She booked at a very busy time my special requests. The rooms were very nice, clean & comfortable. I booked two rooms but did not want them side-by-side. Maybe just a couple of rooms apart but in the same building. Can you believe I had the nerve to ask this during the Christmas season? She not only did not laugh in my face, but she actually booked it perfectly. I have to say this is the first friendly and personal service I've ever received at Indian Springs. It is a very popular place so I will give them that. Thank you Eli for giving my family & I a very wonderful & relaxing memory. Best to you and Happy New year. P.S. They have free bikes on the property, but boy are they weird! I think I might've been nine years old when I've used handlebars like that.

When we arrived we were given a quick tour of the women's side and shown the locker room to change into the robes and sandals they provided for us. Now, time for the mud bath! After reading reviews I was a little nervous for this part particularly because people said it can be claustrophobic and you have to be completely naked to do it. So for all my modest girlies, it is OPTIONAL to be naked. We wore our bikinis no problem! However I do recommend wearing a dark color swim suit so the mud doesn't mess it up. Anyways, the mud bath was amaaazingg. It felt like a warm blanket. After that you shower the mud off and are escorted to a hot tub soak for 20 minutes. Here they give you cold water (and always refill it as needed), a pick to get any dirt out from under your nails, and a nice cold towel for your forehead. Next, we were taken to sit in a sauna for around 10 minutes. After the sauna we were taken to the 'blanket wrap' area. You lay on a small comfy bed, they cover you in a blanket, place cold cucumbers and a cold wash cloth on your eyes and you relax there for 15 minutes. This was so nice however it is in the middle of where they are taking guests from the lobby to the mud bath room so it was pretty noisy and hard to relax. We weren't offered any ear plugs either as I've seen some others were. We set up 50min massages right after so it was on to the next from the nap area. This was really a highlight for me. They have a beautiful Buddha pond exclusive to spa guests that is surrounded by chairs to relax in. My massage by Rachel was wonderful! I wish it were longer, she did such a great job. They have the most comfortable massage beds I've ever used. After our massages we got some tea and a blanket and sat by the pond. Very peaceful & relaxing. Finally, we went up to check out the mineral pool. It was the perfect temperature. We were so happy to see they had a small restaurant so we could order some food while we sat by the pool. There was also a separate adults only pool. Cons - - There's no food besides at the pool. The pool pass is $50/day so I'm not sure if you can order food if you don't purchase the pool pass. The spa offers nuts, dried berries, and orange slices. But by the end of our services we were starving for more of a meal. - Bathrooms. There's only one single bathroom on the women's side and if that's occupied then you have to use the only other one on the men's side. Or you can use the ones outside by the Buddha pond. Overall, I would definitely return to Indian Springs Resort! This was a true relaxing spa day that you can't find in many other places in the area.

They refused, citing the 7-day policy, but agreed to move the reservation to October. Here's where things got messy: because the change was done directly with the property, Airbnb never reflected the updated dates, THE OWNERSHIP IS SUPPOSED TO UPDATE AIRBNB ABOUT THEIR OCCUPANCY. My husband spoke with Lisa, who confirmed she adjusted it in their system. Now, due to unforeseen circumstances, we need to cancel our October stay -- and suddenly, they're claiming they "can't" cancel on their end, only Airbnb can. But Airbnb has no record of the change, since it was never updated. So which is it? They could change the reservation before, but now they can't? It feels dishonest and manipulative. Instead of working with us, they've left us in limbo, passing blame back and forth. The experience has been frustrating, confusing, and frankly, unfair. I HEARD OWNERSHIP CHANGED AND THE NEW OWNER IS A PIECE OF WORK AND TERRIBLE... Bottom line: they clearly have the ability to alter reservations when it suits them, but refuse to help when it doesn't. Greedy, rude, and unprofessional. Do not stay here.

I was told NO and in order to use the pool after checkout, we would need to pay an extra $50 EACH. Given how expensive the hotel has become, I was surprised and a little upset with this policy. I felt it cheapened the experience and we had ALREADY spent quite a lot of money on the accommodations. In addition, I was hoping there would a discount for guests for massages and other spa treatments, but that is not the case.

Whose wood burning ovens produce the most delectable pizzas and other delicacies while infusing the whole restaurant with a delightful, subtle smoke aroma that heightens the appetite and relaxes the mind. The cherry margarita is unique. We had the wood hen (a type of mushroom local to the area) pizza and it was the best mushroom pizza ever. A side of chicken wings from those wood ovens topped us off. Everything was excellent. Jose then gave us a quick tour of the new accommodations and facilities at the Spa. It was magnificent. The wife and I are already looking to book a stay at the spa to enjoy even more of this wonderful place. I suggest you look up Jose and see for yourself. I don't think you will be disappointed.
