We absolutely loved our stay here. It was, indeed, a fantastic family getaway, fully represented by the site. It easily housed our extended clan of 17, ages 5 - 75 years old. The full package of accommodations was outstanding - elegant and full service. We ate gourmet meals, roasted s'mores by the fireside and fully enjoyed the pool, tennis court, game room, bocce court, large trampoline, and beach volley ball court. This property makes you feel both totally at home, and completely far away in a wonderfully pampered way. Wonderful!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed at this beautiful home last December. It was everything that we hoped it would be...immaculate, beautifully appointed, spectacular grounds...exactly as depicted in the property description. We had such a wonderful time that we're planning a return trip in November. Everyone from our family said it was the vacation they had ever been on - something for everyone from an 8 year-old to family members celebrating their 50th birthdays!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Quarterly executive meeting held with 6 participants. This is one of the nicest locations we have found so far since changing our meeting format from resort hotels to villas where we can all be together for a couple of days. Great facilities and layout. Good privacy in each room. Would be wonderful with families and kids. We did not have time to enjoy all parts of the house or facilities offered. We were lucky with 90 degree weather in October.Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing.

Recommended to us by friends who stayed here in 2009 we decided to visit in July to celebrate a special event in our family. The family [ 11 ] was accommodated with ease and comfort and enjoyed the numerous excellent on site amenities which are accurately reflected in the photos. Calistoga and its surrounding area has much to offer in the way of excellent restaurants and wineries. The owners are to be congratulated on designing a fully functional property of this calibre, well maintained and with a very helpful on site caretaker with good connections in the area for restaurants and wineries. Highly recommended for a family vacation and we would stay here again. To fail to enjoy a stay here would be of your own creation.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

The incredibly beautiful Calistoga Vineyard Estate was the best decision we ever made for our first family reunion. The view from the property is spectacular, The house was impeccable, from the cleanliess of the rooms, to the variety of amentities, ie. pool, outside kitchen, tennis court, volley ball court, game room and the work out facility. The location of the estate is a short bike ride into the city where you can dine in some of the finest restaurants and shop till you drop. This jewel is an outstanding respite, snuggled into the vineyards of the beautiful Calistoga valley. I can hardly wait to return this July for the second time. I would highly recommend the Calistoga Vineyard Estate to any one that is looking for a great place to unwind, relax and enjoy the beauty of mother nature.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, pet owners.

A truly perfect home! No detail was overlooked in making this an ideal vacation home, really excellently maintained. Our large family enjoyed the bocce court, bikes, tennis court, the fantastic pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, game room, and the workout facilities. The idyllic, quiet setting, private bedroom/bathroom arrangement (all with great views) and generous attention to comfort made everyone feel very much like they were enjoying our own personal retreat. We had a baby travelling with us and it was nice that the owners had items for the very young, too! The owners provided lots of information on services, activities and sights prior to our visit. Each day members of the family made the short drives to tour the vineyards, do tastings, spa treatments, mud baths, photograph the unique scenery and enjoy great dinners in St. Helena and Calistoga. The people were so friendly and helpful everywhere we went! Some of the serious cycling enthusiasts in the group rented additional bikes and equipment in town and took advantage of the very accessible and scenic miles of bike paths around the valley. It was so fabulous to start each day enjoying a cup of coffee in the crisp morning as the occasional hot air balloon passed by, then to take advantage of all the activities on the grounds or close by, and then to end the day with a bit of wine on the beautifully furnished patio, listening to music or just the birds sing, and to very literally "smell the roses"--the property has a lovely rose garden adjacent to the house, filled with a variety of beautiful colors that was beginning a spectactular display! None of us could imagine a more wonderful way to have enjoyed our visit to Napa Valley. We have rented many vacation homes in diverse locations and this one totally exceeded our expectations. The whole family wanted to stay longer in this beautiful setting and we all hope to return.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway.

If you are family and sports-oriented, this vineyard estate is the ideal place to be for a weekend (or longer!). Right outside the front gate are miles and miles of some of the best road biking in the country. On the estate itself we played tennis, bocce, volleyball, and swam all day, every day. Great times had by all.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Myself, some family and friends stayed here and really enjoyed it. The buildings look to be newly renovated and are very tastefully done, spacious and well-appointed. The setting is truly gorgeous - the property is in a beautiful valley just below Mt Helena, and a vineyard surrounds the buildings. It's also only a few minutes from downtown Calistoga. There are lots of activities on the property, from the tennis court (with a ball machine!) to the sand volleyball pit, a bocci ball court, a separate play house with a pool table and air hockey for the kids, and a large swimming pool. And of course there is all the rest of wine country just past the end of the long driveway. Great for individual families or groups. A little over an hour outside of San Francisco.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We had been looking for a long time for a place that offered the same amenties as a high end family oriented Club Med but without the hassle of extended travel or crowds and we found it in this place. The layout of both houses is extremely conducive to large groups with lots of kids, and the pool, especially the in pool seating area and outdoor kitchen, are fantastic for large family meals. Add to this on site sand volleyball, tennis, a cool game room in the barn with ping pong, fussball and air hockey and fantastic road and mountain biking nearby and you have the makings of a great family vacation. It was more than we were originally looking to spend, but we will be back.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

My friends and I love to organize large group trips with 10-12 people to our favorite destinations. So when I say this home in Calistoga is our ABSOLUTE hands-down favorite, it is based on a lot of experience. A place may cost more money, but it does not always mean it’s worth it. This one definitely is – not only for its gorgeous location (it is nestled under Mt. St. Helena with hiking nearby, biking down the Silverado Trail, and running through vineyard-lined roads), or its amazing grounds complete with vineyard, 20 ft pool, patio, outdoor grill and gazebo, two outdoor entertaining areas, or its high-quality design and interior furnishings (amazing kitchen with everything a cook could ever need), but because it is one of the most UNIQUE properties you'll have the chance to experience. In the outer perimeters of the property, there is a full tennis court, volleyball court, bocce ball court, indoor gym, and bonus game room! I am told the owner's wife wanted to ensure the natural beauty of the place was undisturbed while the husband wanted to provide the “dream” amenities for those who love to stay active and keep fit . The town of Calistoga is nearby too with one of the most charming main streets around, still laid back with a small town feel (that can no longer be said of St. Helena or Healdsburg). We'll definitely be back. Mark this one down as a MUST STAY!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
