Beautiful property for family vacation

The art house is such a wonderful place to stay in Napa. We had two toddlers and an infant in our group who loved the backyard, as did the adults. The yard is gorgeous, which has a lovely patio, grass area, hot tub, and cottage; it quickly became the central spot to hang during our weekend. The house was great, and communication/check in/check out was easy and helpful. Highly recommend!

Great space in a great location!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Art House. The living quarters were great for our group staying in Napa. The backyard was a great bonus and provided a fun space for us to relax outside. The location is very close to downtown Napa. Driving took about as long as riding our bikes! Would definitely recommend this place to others.

Beautiful home in a great location

The house and backyard is very beautiful! We especially enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen, the patio and the hot tub. The house is located close to the downtown area of Napa and it was easy to get the the wineries to the North. We appreciated the notebook and basket filled with suggestions and maps.

An Absolutely Amazing Stay!

My family (4 adults) stayed at the Napa Art House for our yearly trip to the BottleRock Music Festival, and we loved the property. Within 15 minutes of walking distance to downtown shopping and eats, we had no trouble walking to and from the festival each day. The amenities were fantastic, including the hot tub in the private back yard, ground french roast coffee waiting for us when we arrived, and a handwritten note from the property manager welcoming us to the property. All in all, we loved out stay and would definitely stay again next year!

Amazing experience

Kathy, Lupe, and Eduardo were amazing hosts. The property was even better than it’s photos and was perfect for our group of 6. So much detail and car to add in little things that were so helpful during our stay. Had to message twice about minor things and Kathy’s response was almost instantaneous. Would stay here time and time again. Thank you all for being amazing!! Highly recommend this property for your stay.

Darling house.. loads of character.. Could use a few improvements.

Great location.. beautiful old house. Plenty of room for 4 women. Lovely little neighborhood and easy walk to downtown. The second bathroom was quite the challenge. The sink is pretty much unusable. Or very frustrating to use. The faucet is placed so that you can't even get your hands under it. Made washing your hands, face or brushing your teeth very aggravating. We stopped using it and shared the master. The dishwasher didn't clean dishes so we washed by hand. The property, especially the back yard could use a landscaper. It could be so beautiful and serene! Overall a great stay in a house filled with character.. little things are important! I'd love to give it more stars, but because of that bathroom.. we wouldn't stay again. Sorry!

There is just something so incredibly lovely about this house! It's got a layout that flows. It's warm and cozy. The backyard is just lovely. We had a beyond wonderful time with kids and grandkids, and even our dog. The house is very much like the pictures, but at the same time, better. Peter, the caretaker, goes above and beyond to make sure everything is set up for the perfect stay. He's close enough to help but never intrusive. The kitchen is so well stocked. The beds are super comfy. The house is historic but everything works great and the house was super clean. We will be back!

This is an adorable cottage! We had two unexpected finds here. First was the adorable garden house. It has a fold out and desk/tv; perfect for people who get up early when others are sleeping in. Second was the tree zoo located about 3 blocks away. And of course, this is easy access to all the best wine imaginable. Peter is a great host and kept the coffee supply full for us.

Fantastic house in Napa

Best location near Fuller park and a 15 minute walk to town. The house is larger than expected! We loved the fireplace in the living room, the backyard is lovely and my husband loved working in the cottage. The second bath is small, if you are using all three bedrooms. We enjoyed the hot tub and the large grill! Great house!

About the host

Hosted by Peter T Downey

Host profile image
We are the owners of the "Napa Art House" in downtown Napa. Joel grew up in Napa and Kathy is an artist whose work can be seen throughout the home. Their fondness for color and comfort is obvious in the casual furnishings and attention to detail that makes this home a special place. They are happy to share their love of the Napa Valley by making your stay as enjoyable and fun as possible.
The "Napa Art House" is one of only 41 legally permitted "whole-house" vacation rental homes in Napa (permit #VR09-0001).
peter Downey is our on site Property Managers. He has his own entrance to the second floor unit. He does not share the backyard, laundry or parking while guests are enjoying the house. But he is readily available if any problems or questions arise.

Why they chose this property

The Napa Art House is perfectly located for visitors to the Napa Valley. It is within walking distance to Old Town Napa where it is all happening (55 Tasting Rooms!).The house is easy to find and less than a mile from Hwy 29 for access to the rest of the Valley, and the Old Sonoma Road into Carneros and then on to Sonoma beyond.

What makes this property unique

The Napa Art House was built in 1927. It has all the charm and character of an original Craftsman Bungalow, with all the comforts and amenities that modern technology can provide. The plan is "open", and feels communal, but can easily be sectioned off into more private areas. There is a beautiful garden and very private back yard with a separate cottage where you can work or relax after a hard day of wine tasting. The wraparound porch is shaded and cool. The far back patio has a gas grill, lighting, and a high tin sun/rain cover for safe, low smoke all-weather grilling day or night. The patio deck enjoys afternoon shade from an old oak on the property, has tables and chairs, and is lit for dining or gathering at night.
