The Nest
Nestled in the middle of the internationally acclaimed Napa Valley sits a rustic little villa recently remodeled with all the modern conveniences of a new home. We fondly call this getaway “The Nest” because of how it sits perched high above the famous Silverado Trail and peers over it for amazing vistas. You’ll feel like lovebirds escaping to your own cozy romantic retreat watching the sunset over award winning vineyards of the Napa Valley all while sipping the finest nectar in the world that this valley has to produce!
This exclusive one-acre properties rough rocky hillside was finessed by it’s former owner, a Sicilian artisan, who tamed the terrain carving out unique vista points with a series of rock walls and staircases reminiscent of his home county and the hillside villas of Tuscany. This little rustic villa was recently rebuilt to include modern amenities. It’s expansion was designed by a Marin architect to enhance one very important feature - the views! The home integrates clean modern design with a rustic touch, such as a rock wall kitchen, travertine floors and a cellar door to a loft bedroom as a nod to the terroir’s history. The property was excavated to help build part of the Winery across the road which is one of the oldest wineries in the valley, surviving prohibition. It’s an easy stroll to sample some of the valley’s history and tantalize your taste buds with a sample of authentic Napa Valley fruit.
This cozy retreat is your home in the Napa Valley. Rest, relax and enjoy the vineyard views as you curl up on the leather couch to take a Nap after a day of tasting in the hot sun (There’s a reason it’s called Napa!). You’ll enjoy whipping up culinary creations while enjoying the vineyard views from the kitchen. There are new stainless steel appliances, granite slab countertops, and the cabinets are stocked so you can cook for you and your loved one and your guests. The bedroom is designed for Romance. Wake up warm and cozy as you watch the fog whisper through the vines or from your pillow stargaze through the skylight. The views make you feel like the lovebird you are enjoying all the sights and sounds of this beautiful valley. Escape to your little villa and enjoy all the best Napa Valley has to offer!
About the home:
The crown jewel is the beautiful living room with high ceilings that boasts 6 picture windows overlooking the valley and vineyards below. Tastefully appointed area rugs cover newly laid travertine tiles throughout the house. The kitchen boasts a brand new stainless steel refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, microwave and coffee maker. Beautiful granite countertops adorn the kitchen counters and the bathroom sink. The kitchen cabinets hold enough wine glasses, plates & silverware for 2 people for a month, or for entertaining many guests. The bedroom boasts an antique French headboard complete with down-alternative comforter (to reduce allergies) and privacy netting to add some romance to your stay. The bathroom is truly one-of-a-kind! The clean lines, views of nature and floor to ceiling tile shower make it a comfortable, cozy space.
What to do while you’re here:
The world renowned Napa Valley is blessed with award winning wineries & vineyards, historic sites, restaurants, open air markets, museums, galleries, boutiques, and wonderful opportunities for hiking & biking. The Nest is centrally located to embrace it all
Start your day with a brisk morning stroll, along the vineyards of the winery located right across the street! Return to the house along the Napa creek and watch as the drowsy morning fog begins to burn off and the warm sun peeks through to greet you on your own private deck.

Why the Owner Chose Calistoga
Location, Location, Location - it simply doesn't get any better than this cottage when tooling around the Napa Valley. We bought a 400 sq foot one room tear down... magically turned it into an impressive, Tuscan inspired ~1,000 sq foot 2 bedroom cottage overlooking beautiful vineyards on an acre in the heart of the valley. We're blessed to be able to offer this amazing rental to our guests to enjoy!
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
There are approx. 100 wineries within 5 miles in any direction. There are NO neigbhors... there's an outdoor shower which is an absolute awesome experience. You can walk across the street to a winery... it just doesn't get any better than this.

Our 3rd Anniversary

Review Submitted: 12/10/11
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.
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
Recommended for:Romantic getaway.
