  Location, Location, Location! Wonderful little cottage! We looked out across the vineyards each and every day! The property does need a few minor fixes and Hwy 29 can be quite loud at times. But aside of that, A great property at a great price!

  I dont think we could have picked a better spot to see napa valley. Great views , place was very nice. The highway is a little noisy, but you get used to it. Even though you are near the road, it is very private. We would definitly return and stay here

  This rental experience was a big disappointment. Right from the beginning it was difficult to communicate with the owner. He would tell us he would e-mail information and never did so. It took repeated e-mails to even get the directions to the place. When we arrived, the place had not been cleaned from the previous renter. We called the owner who blamed it on the cleaning crew but when we returned a few hours later, the cleaning lady was still there and she made it clear that the owner never called her. The steep driveway getting to the house is rough and rocky and in serious need of being graded. You really need 4 wheel drive to navigate it. There were times we didn't think we would make it. The interior has been neglected. The pictures must have been taken right after it was renovated. Although the kitchen was decent, the tile floors are chipped and the furniture is getting shabby. The view across the street to the vineyard is nice but what the owner doesn't tell you is that the busy Silverado Trail is between the house and the vineyard and the traffic noise from cars and large trucks is deafening. It was hard to sleep because of it and you couldn't sit outside. The outdoor furniture was tacky as well. The only good thing about the place is that it is close to St. Helena and many vineyards. I have rented through VRBO before without any issues but I would not recommend this property to anyone.

  Owner response: Dear Guests, We are truely sorry for your disappointing stay. It is our goal that every guest has a truely unique and enjoyable experience at the Nest. I wanted to address a couple issues mentioned in this review. First, about the cleaning crew. My cleaning crew had a family emergency the day of their arrival (hospital, stitches, etc.). I wasn't given notice. When the guests contacted me I called my backup crew ASAP. She arrived and tried to clean the cottage before the guests returned from dinner, obviously, she had just been called by me only an hour earlier. Granted, it is a terrible experience to arrive at your destination and find the place unclean. Given the circumstances, we tried our best to correct the oversight as soon as possible. This kind of thing happens only in a blue moon. Secondly, the driveway IS steep. I will try to convey this point more Thirdly, the BEST thing about the Nest is it's location. Minutes to over 100 wineries, one across the street! The only downside to the Nest is it's biggest asset, the location. We are close to Silverado Trail. If it's commute hours 8am & 5pm there's traffic, locals heading to/from work. At night however, you can sit out on the deck and hear Coyote howl and frogs... because there's just you and no one else for miles.... For some, it would be water under the bridge... unfortunately, the rest of the review was effected by this initial experience. Guests tell us all the time, "The kitchen is immaculate", the "views are stunning" or "we couldn't hear the road even though it's close by". The place has been rented hundreds of times and we've only gotten 1 negative review. Five have been 5 stars. One 4. Again, we are dissappointed that these guests were disappointed. We hope they'll return to the Wine Country and enjoy another place that will provide them with happiness and romance Dan the Nest

  This is a really lovely place, a great location to explore the entire Napa Valley, and quiet despite being on the Silverado Trail. Well-maintained and clean with ample linens etc. The alcove bed, though it took a bit of getting used to in terms of getting up and down into the alcove, was a perfect "snuggler's cave." All-in-all, highly recommended.

  We came to Napa as a last minute anniversary trip and we are soooo happy we decided on this place. Like others have mentioned, the pictures do not do this place justice. Everything is very new and clean and comfortable. Both the view from the cottage and the cottage itself are gorgeous and the location is ideal. It is very private and quiet, even though it is off a main road. They also have plenty of heaters (built in as well as portable) to make sure you stay nice and toasty (we went in December so it was nice to come home from wine tasting and put a movie on and cuddle on the couch). It's about a 20 minute drive from Calistoga, and really close to St. Helena, so you are literally in the middle of wine country. I would definitely recommend this cottage and we plan on coming back again!

  What a beautiful view. I took Valerie here for her Birthday, we enjoyed visiting the wineries and spas, the cottage was a very romantic getaway, we loved the privacy, the sites and the night skies. The outdoor shower was a fun feature, we just wished the hot tub was running, now that would have been amazing. Thanks for the getaway.

  My husband and I spent 10 days in this beautiful Cottage. I surprised him for his special birthday And he really enjoyed it. The Nest is everything That the website says and more. The cottage is Very spacious and has all the amenities needed For an enjoyable vacation . It is decorated beautifully And has an awesome additional outdoor shower. We went to the entire Napa region to stop at the Wineries and nearby restaurants which were all Wonderful. We also made some delicious meals to enjoy with a great bottle of wine. We watched Fireworks on the 4th of July overlooking a nearby Winery on the deck at the Nest. We would love to Return tomorrow. It doesn',t get any better than that. Bruno & Ann

  We loved this place! It was a beautiful little cottage with a great view. It was so convenient to the wineries that we were visiting. The pictures don't do it justice. The furnishings are luxurious, and I loved the kitchen and bath. We love staying in a home vs. a hotel or bed and breakfast. There is so much more room and privacy. The owner was very helpful in recommending places to visit and restaurants to eat at. We want to go back already!

  A beautiful property for a relaxing and romantic getaway! We found this property to be everything the listing said it was and more. The secluded feel and terrific views right in the heart of wine country are a refreshing change of pace from the many hotels and condos in the region. The well appointed and updated decor is lovely, and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to make dinners to go with that favorite bottle of vino! We found the owner and his family to be friendly, accomodating, and helpful. We'll definitely recommend this vrbo property to family and friends visiting the area. Be sure to stop in to the vineyard right across the road - they'll treat you like a special guest when you tell them you're staying nearby.

  Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

  Owner response: We're so glad you had a fantastic time in our special little hideaway... We hope every guest enjoys a wonderful stay in the heart of the wine country
