About this property

Formerly the Old Toll Road Inn - 4 Beds/4.5 Baths

Enjoy Napa by day, by night enjoy the serenity and amazing views of our mountain retreat!

This beautifully appointed, former Bed & Breakfast features 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths on 4+ acres - located on Mount St. Helena in Calistoga.

Located on a historic wagon road that led to the old mining town of Silverado in the 1800's, our home features natural mountain spring water (no sulfur smell which is typical in/around Calistoga due this being a very active geothermal area).

The property and accommodations are amazing. It's the perfect place to unwind, relax and feel taken care of. The views are fantastic - as pictured. We sat mesmerized by the interplay between the Steller's jays and the Acorn woodpeckers (at the bird feeders). There are many indoor and outdoor places to sit, alone or with family/friends. The kitchen has everything one could need, the bed and bath linens are exquisite,

Great house for family celebrations

The house worked perfectly for the 7 of us - all adults. The views from the house were absolutely incredible and its location provided easy access to explore wine country and nearby attractions. We really enjoyed the Calistoga vibe - less touristy than other parts of Napa. The recommended personal chef gourmet dinner after a day of hiking was a highlight. The two outdoor decks were extremely comfortable. We are foodies and appreciated the well-stocked and high end kitchen. One communication glitch after check-out degrades the rating to 4 stars but the owner more than adequately rectified the issue.

We loved that this owner thought of all the details including providing shampoos , detergent and charging cables.

About the host

Hosted by Tina Sampath

Host profile image
Me and my husband are both employed in the biotech industry in the Bay Area- Calistoga is our escape from the fog in Sausalito where we live just north of San Francisco.

Why they chose this property

Our house provides the best of both worlds- Napa by day, be in downtown Calistoga within minutes where you'll find multiple highly rated restaurants and shops. Enjoy serenity/privacy by night with amazing views from 2 decks.

What makes this property unique

We love the history of Old Lawley Toll Road, a wagon trail to the old mining town of Silverado (made famous in Robert Louis Stephenson's The Silverado Squatters.) Unlike other parts of Calistoga, our home features pure mountain spring water - no sulfur smell!
