The Stoddard house is as rich in history as it is in appearance. Built in 1898, the classic, white house retains it's original grandeur, with vaulted ceilings throughout, double parlor, and Red Fir floors. Enter through this spectacular home through beautiful gardens where you will always find something in bloom. Crest the stairs and take a moment to imagine a time long past. Among the homes cache of treasures is the fireplace (non-operable), rescued from a residence that was regrettably destroyed for office buildings downtown and adorned with ceramic, nude tiles from France. Bouquets of glass flowers are suspended from chandeliers, and the light that Napa Valley is famous for, streams through the grand windows.
Old world meets new in this fashionably appointed prize. After two years of renovations a local interior designer has assisted the Stoddard House in reclaiming her glory. An eclectic mix of over one hundred years of chic includes contemporary, Asian, Victorian and Art Deco influences. Settle in with a book in the library, soak up the sumptuousness in a bath, or unwind outside in the gazebo with a glass of Napa Valley bubbly. Meet in the parlor and take a seat in one of the leather club chairs or on the mohair sofa and revisit the pleasures of conversation.
Stroll down Napa's most prestigious street into the heart of the downtown area. Dine at one of a multitude of world class restaurants, visit boutique shops or sample Napa's finest at a wine bar. It's a short drive to scores of vineyards and wineries and all that the Napa Valley has to offer!

I can't recommend The Stoddard House more! It is absolutely the most beautiful and charming house! We came to Stoddard for a long girls weekend in Napa and we couldn't have been more thrilled with our choice to stay here. If its possible, the house is more beautiful in real life than it is in pictures. The house is huge! Absolutely the best space for four people sharing a magical weekend. None of us ever felt cramped like we would have in a hotel room. The house is bright and airy and the gardens are just so beautiful even early spring when the flowers we just starting to bloom. It was a little chilly one afternoon but we couldn't resist setting up a little picnic outside in the gazebo because it was just so magical. Every year a group of us girls choose a new place to share a weekend together, and after our amazing weekend at Stoddard, I think we have all decided that this is the only place we will now be visiting year after year.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

The house is spacious and welcoming. There were some minor glitches (i.e. me not knowing how to get the electric convection oven going) and the owners were extremely responsive and helpful, even willing to come out and help when they were out for the evening. The house is close to downtown Napa and we walked almost everywhere. Great restaurants and wine tasting rooms along First. Kitchen is stocked with appliances and utensils, just know to bring everything else you will need if you plan to cook and eat in. Great back yard, hoping to come back in Spring to enjoy it in the nice weather.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

EXCELLENT location and wonderful home! We absolutely loved our stay here!!! The place is much larger and more beautiful than the photos online give it credit for...and it's a great price. We had 2 couples, but the bathroom is spacious and never caused an issue for any of us. The place is very clean; towels and sheets all smelled like a Downey commercial. You can tell it is all very well taken care of; beds were very comfortable too. It is stocked w/ anything/everything you can think of needing during your stay and you're well within walking distance of downtown for excellent wine tasting and restaurants. The English gardens are beautiful and sitting areas around the back of the house are perfect for a cozy hour of reading/relaxing. The only downside to our stay were the 2 cats that decided to get it on last night at 1AM for about 20 mins. That's the house's fault...we were just unlucky, I guess. The neighborhood is very nice; no worries about crime. Overall, we were very safe, more than pleased with our location and the place was beautiful and clean...we will definitely stay again. Thank you for making this a wonderful trip for all of us! - Tara, Keith, Maureen & Mike (6-9 Oct 11)Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Two couples stayed at this house and found that it had a lot of room. There are three different eating areas! The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was well-appointed. The kitchen also had a lot of pots and pans and utensils, which was an upside. The only downside was that there was only one bathroom, but I think that is common in older houses. It was a good location, fairly quiet, but still about a 15 minute walk to the center of downtown.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Most memorable vacation at Stoddard House in Napa

Stoddard House was the closest thing to the perfect family getaway we had in mind while we rented out the property for the 3 nights in early June 2010. The house with its beautiful garden all around and a charming gazebo in the backyard was just too pretty for words. The inside of the house was just as cute and was tastefully done although the family's favourite spot was the small cozy room with the tiny dining table that took you out the back door to the BBQ area. My husband and I had the most amazing time with his parents - we will always remember the time we spent at Stoddard House with the fondest memories, thanks for sharing your house with us !!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway.

As part of our visit with my daughter in the United States, she booked us into Stoddard House for a week. I checked it out on the internet at home in Ireland, and was very excited to go there when I saw the photographs. Nothing could have prepared me for just how beautiful the house is in real life! The weather was great, and we had breakfast in the lovely gazebo in the garden most days. The master bedroom is huge, and the whole house is so beautifully decorated and spotless. A real plus for me was that it is only a short walk into town. Would definitely stay here again, it was one of the highlights of our holiday.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children.

The house is a perfect place to relax and share time with family. Everything that we could possibly wish for is here and the access to Napa and the lovely region is perfect. We enjoyed a day on the wine train, visits to some small wineries, and side trips to Oakland and San Francisco. What a wonderful week and always nice to return to this gorgeous home.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

This is one of the most beautiful vacation homes I have ever seen. It has grand and elegant syle yet keeps a comfortable home atmosphere. Loved the private backyard where we were able to sip wine and eat local cheeses under the gazebo. It is perfectly located being within walking distance to downtown Napa, where we were able to enjoy the many delicious restaurants. I would highly recommend staying here especially if you would like to impress that someone special.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Stoddard House is a beautifully restored Victorian in the heart of downtown Napa. A central location, the house is very comfortable with a great kitchen and very comfortable beds! Original fir floors have been brought back to life, high ceilings, and a wonderful mix of furniture all combine to make your stay a warm memory. You are close to excellent downtown Napa restaurants. The house is a perfect base to expore all the Napa Valley Wineries. We look forward to our next stay.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/3

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: If only there were more moments like this!
Why the Owner Chose Napa:
My Grandparent's lived next door to this house, and I admired it my whole life. When it came up for sale, I could not resist! It's the kind of home that begs to be shared.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
A historical gem, this house will really give you the feel of old Napa Valley and vacation. Your proximity to town, just a short stroll, and to St. Helena Highway and all the wineries along it, is ideal. The gardens, planted by the previous owner who ran a floral shop out of the garage, are magnificent and oh, so, relaxing.
