I couldn't have asked for a better experience!…read more The boyfriend and I wanted to have a romantic getaway in Napa Valley and chose to stay in Calistoga. With some research we found Chien Blanc Bungalows, a part of NapaVacationHomes.com rentals. Pros - Chelsea, who booked our stay, was very communicative through email with our reservation and provided detailed check in and check out requirements for the rental. - Upon arriving there was plenty of parking in front of the rental and our bungalow was easy to find. We stayed in the Avignon Bungalow. - The Avignon Bungalow was very homey and comfortable (they recently updated the interiors of their bungalows so disregard previous pictures and reviews). I love that we had a kitchen to cook and to store any wine or food that we may be eating or drinking. The mini vanity was my favorite! - As the weather warmed up, we were able to enjoy the gardens on site as well as the outdoor furniture. It was uber romantic! - Love the option of the community room, however, we weren't able to use it during our stay. - Also LOVED the option to pre-order wine for our stay. I loved walking into our bungalow to a bottle of wine that me and my boyfriend can enjoy while we take it all in. Make sure to get the Chelsea Vineyards wine! It's one of their own and you can't get it elsewhere! - While the owners of the bungalows were pretty hands off, which is what we wanted, Chelsea was open to suggesting restaurants and wineries to try which was super helpful. FYI-Calistoga offers a shuttle which picks you up and it's only for a buck!!!! - Last but not least, Location! Location! Location! I can't stress how awesome it was to stay at Chien Blanc Bungalows!! No more than two blocks were many restaurants, coffee shops, stores, a grocery store, and most importantly, winetasting rooms! We didn't have to get into the car to drive anywhere and we didn't have to risk drinking and driving! Cons - I own an iPhone 5s, I know it's a dinosaur. So please disregard my crummy photos as they don't do any justice for Avignon. - We couldn't stay an extra day. I recommend that your stay be at least three days. Two days just wasn't enough for us. - That I didn't get proposed to. (hahaha, no pressure!) All in all, I highly recommend Chien Blanc Bungalows!! We will be back! (in the Arnold voice)

What a cool place to stay in while in Napa valley!…read more Calistoga is a small, charming town full of restaurants and shops to explore. Not to mention, there are many nearby wineries! The Chien Blanc Bungalows are also within walking distance to the main street of town. There are three bungalows and we stayed in the Avignon bungalow. It had a cool red living room and a 1940's kitchen. While a bit outdated, it definitely adds to the charm and my dad had fun figuring out how to light the stove. The bungalow contains one bedroom and the couch in the living room has a pull-out trundle underneath. Both beds can comfortably sleep 2 people each. There's also a game room, but not in the modern sense. It is a cool space though with board games, videos, and tv, darts on the wall, and a pool table. This place also has a great grill for use and my dad enjoyed cooking steaks and hamburgers for dinner. There's a market in town "Cal Mart" that is a two block walk away where you can find food to cook. Otherwise, those restaurants on the main street are also within walking distance. Cute and convenient place!

There were 8 adults and 2 kids which was the perfect number for the rooms. The house had some really beautiful features such as a stained glass window and a large metal chandelier. The kitchen was a bit small to prepare meals for a large family and really couldn't comfortably accommodate more than a couple of people cooking. We tried to use the gas grill but found the condition so moldy that we gave up and used the oven instead. It was quite well equipped, however, and had tons of dishes available. The largest bathroom was a bit dark which made it difficult to use the shower. One of the beds upstairs was also really squeaky. The couches in the living room were really soft and comfortable. The tv was a little small if you were sitting on the far couch but it had cable and a Roku for streaming. There was also a beautifully decorated Christmas tree set up here. Out back, there was a hot tub in a lovely gazebo lit up with string lights. There was plenty of parking for about 5 cars also next to there. This place is located just a few blocks away from downtown and we were able to walk there a couple of times for dinner and shopping. The manager and owners were really great! They were super responsive to any questions and issues we had.

The kitchen was well equiped, and it was a nice stroll to get into downtown. Communication with the owners was difficult at best which is why i give this place the 4 star rating. Besides them not getting back to us via email, they also had a crazy policy where they do not accept credit cards which is not stated on their website and a friend of mine said they have in the past. If we are spending that amount of $$ we should be able to get some kind of perk by putting it on a card. If you don't mind paying with a check or cash, this place is adorable and fit all of our needs.

This was one of the most disappointing customer service experiences I've ever had. I've stayed at…read morethis hotel many times over the years and have referred countless friends, family members, and clients who have also booked stays here. Because of that history, I never expected to be treated this way. We experienced a genuine family emergency that forced us to leave early and requested a refund for our unused Sunday and Monday nights. These were weekday nights not a weekend or holiday, and the hotel kept 100% of the charges for both nights despite us not being there. What made the situation even worse was the amount of time we had to spend going back and forth during an already stressful family emergency. The front desk staff repeatedly told us they understood and agreed a refund was appropriate, but the owner instructed them not to issue one. For several days, staff members seemed confused about the situation, while the owner/manager refused to respond to phone calls or text messages. We were left waiting, following up repeatedly, and receiving no direct communication from the person making the decision. I understand businesses have cancellation policies, but there should also be room for compassion and reasonable discretion, especially for LOYAL, repeat guests who have spent thousands of dollars over the years and have personally referred many others to stay here. Unfortunately, this experience erased years of goodwill. Customer service is tested when something unexpected happens, and this hotel failed that test. We will NEVER stay here again, and after this experience, I can no longer recommend it to friends, family, or clients. What a HUGE disappointment Cottage Grove. Not the way you treat your loyal customers.

Chris told some hysterical stories and Brent played straight man and was an incredible chef. Our room was very comfortable and wine and cheese on the porch in the late afternoon made the whole stay just the relaxing time we needed. We still feel impressed and mildly embarrassed by Chris picking up our huge suitcase and toting it up the stairs thanking "his mother's thighs". It's a destination and a reason to go to Calistoga.

Also, we were served a wonderful "gourmet" breakfast on the weekend created by Brent, our host. During the week we received breakfast vouchers to use in town. We were also given travel bags containing snacks and water each morning. This was a nice touch. Embrace B&B was easily walkable to restaurants and shops in Calistoga. There were plenty of good restaurants to choose from! Our hosts happily supplied winery and restaurant ideas.

We stayed in one of the soaking rooms and it was wonderful. We were provided with towels and salts to use specifically for the soaking tub. The tub was conveniently located in the main room with a view of the large screen TV which also could be pulled out from the wall and angled towards the tub and bed. We were a little confused about how the tv worked since it seemed that other guests were signed in to the streaming platforms, but that was likely user error. Perhaps a little note about logging in to streaming services next to the TV might be useful for others in the future. We were also able to access live channels. The room was clean, and had a microwave and mini fridge for our leftovers after eating out or for small grocery items from CalMart. The location is great and a short walk to downtown Calistoga. We were provided with robes at check in which were useful for the hot tubs and pools. There are two mineral water hot tubs of different temperatures and one large mineral pool for swimming. There are showers and changing rooms available in the pool area as well. They provided bicycles and helmets that we could take to ride during the desk hours. We would definitely stay here again.

I came to find out that the wine taster never showed. Customer Service Texting: Love that they have CS texting, they are very responsive and informative about things going on including how to check out.

When we checked into Indian Springs Resort & Spa, one of our pieces of luggage was mistakenly…read moredelivered to the wrong room by the hotel staff. When we reported the missing luggage, the reception staff initially denied having it and suggested that the taxi may have taken or misplaced it. Unfortunately, the hotel provided very little assistance in resolving the issue. My wife's AirPods were inside the luggage, and we were eventually able to use Find My to trace the luggage to another room on the property. Despite this, we were unable to get meaningful assistance from reception and ultimately had to contact the Calistoga Police Department for help. After nearly an hour and a half, we finally recovered our luggage while police officers were present at the property. What made the situation particularly frustrating was that the luggage had been delivered to the wrong room by the hotel staff in the first place. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, particularly because the initial response from the hotel was to deny responsibility and blame the taxi rather than actively helping us locate our luggage.

When we first arrived, we drove through a bridge and then we were surrounded by planted gardens and fruit trees with a few chairs and tables spaced apart. We called Kurt and he came right away to help us, directed us to a good parking spot, and then showed us around. We arrived around 10:00AM and it was still quiet with only one other couple by the pool. Kurt showed us where the switches for the hot tub jets were, the switch for the sauna, towels, bathroom, water, etc. The rest of the day was extremely relaxing. People slowly trickled in and seemed to hit peak occupancy around 1:00PM. There were beautiful views of the hillside and trees. Everything clean and neat. Plentiful umbrellas for shade. A quiet atmosphere with friendly conversations. There were always lounge chairs to choose from. I loved the layout of the place. The pool, hot tub, and sauna were all spacious and never felt crowded. Around 6:00PM the pool area starts emptying out, and weather quickly gets cooler. I'd recommend bringing a cooler with drinks and snacks to maximize your relaxation time. An amazing place to be and we'll definitely be back whenever we need to let go of any stress.

There are three lovely horses that we enjoyed visiting and treating to carrots. The pool house was the perfect place for an intimate birthday celebration for our whole group. It's has plenty of lounge space, a private deck with umbrellas and a full kitchen for easy food prep. Two single guests stayed here in the two sleeping areas. The owner Kurt is always a lovely and attentive host and the property is even more special because of his wonderful presence. We plan to return with our friends next year.

The…read moreproperty is quaint yet had everything we needed-- cute common outdoor sitting area, AMAZING & soothing mineral water in the pool and hot tub, quiet day and night, a Starbucks latte and cocoa (+more) maker in the lobby that was actually good, plus they had Chobani yogurt for purchase that tied us over for breakfast in the morning. We had a standard king with patio. It was clean and comfortable with a view of a nice field of oak trees and the body wash had aroma therapy vibes, but otherwise the room itself is very basic. Small kinda outdated tv, no water bottles included in the room for the Keurig coffee maker so be mindful to bring some water! But they do have a water bottle filling station on the grounds. The pool area is also small and not super instagrammable but it was more than enough and we loved it; we might even come back on a day pass just to swim. Also want to give a shoutout to David at the front desk for being stellar and helping us feel so welcome. Thanks UpValley Inn!

We stayed at UpValley Inn in Calistoga for one night while attending a work event. Overall, the…read moreproperty itself is pretty and the staff was attentive and friendly, but there were a few things that definitely affected our stay. The biggest concern was the pool water--it was green. We were told the color was due to minerals in the water, but after looking into it myself, I couldn't find anything supporting that explanation for why a swimming pool would be green. Needless to say, we decided not to get in. The spa also didn't look in working order during our stay. I had already read a few reviews mentioning people experiencing itchiness after using the water, so between that and the appearance of the pool, I probably wouldn't have used it anyway. On the positive side, our room was fine, the water pressure in the shower was great, the property has a nice atmosphere, and the staff was attentive. One other thing worth mentioning: parking is terrible. It was definitely one of the more frustrating parts of staying here. It's a pretty property in a great area, and there were things we liked about it, but the pool situation, non-working spa, and parking would make me think twice about staying again.
