Absolutely PERFECT location especially and exactly what my husband needed for a long weekend visit! We loved being so close to Main Street and do so much walking vs driving. Great location to tastings, and spa during our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. Excellent location. We really appreciated the coffee and Duraflame log that was left for us! I had a couple questions and Giselle answered right away!
Our host was very welcoming and the house was immaculate. Very well located for walking to St Helena restaurants and shops. The house is a charming 1920s house with a very ample driveway for parking and a large peaceful yard.

Been staying here for years for Napa getaways, without the hype. Comfortable, updated, heart of St. Helena. Consistently update and improve their property which is greatly appreciated. Large backyard with firplace, furniture and propane barbecue is also great for our well behaved dog.

Thank you, Paul and Maryellen. You are just the best guests one could ever have. Thank you s omuch and we're looking for your return.
This was an excellent property that I would highly recommend. The host Gisela was lovely, the property was very clean, cozy and well kept up. Well stocked and we lacked nothing. Property close to downtown restaurants and shopping. Would definitely stay here again!
The house was just as advertised, exceptionally clean. It is a very old house that is in need of some upgrades but all in all the beds were comfortable and the house had everything we needed to be comfortable.
The house was just what we needed for a place to lay our head and get ready. The location can’t be beat as you are steps from downtown St. Helena and a short drive to all the wineries.

This darling cottage was a perfect fit for us for our stay in St. Helena! This cottage comfortably fit four adults and is in a perfect location. We will definitely be staying here again for our future trips to Napa!
We really enjoyed this property. It was clean, the linens were quality and the proximity to everything we could have asked for was unmatched. Would definitely stay there again!

We fell in love with the Napa Valley approximately 20 years ago, and thus purchased this beautiful cottage to enjoy throughout the year. Since we work full time, we would also like to share our home with travelers so they may also enjoy this beautiful part of the world.
Why they chose this property
It has all the charm the Napa Valley has to offer. Within walking distance of town including grocery store, restaurants, specialty shops, and bakery.
What makes this property unique
Although secluded from the main hustle and bustle of St. Helena, our cottage is located within a five minute walk to the town which gives us the best of both worlds.
