Welcome to Napa and to the best wine country in the world! Please check our special winter rates of $150-$175 per night for your wine country getaway! Winter is the best time to visit the Napa Valley - with cozy accommodations, good restaurant seating, and more relaxed winery tasting rooms.
This architectural gem in the heart of Napa's Old Town is conveniently situated among other Victorian homes, has easy highway access, and is within walking distance to everything from restaurants and shops to a grocery store and downtown wine tasting establishments. This is the perfect location for your wine country getaway. Walk to Celadon, Cole's Chop House, Bounty Hunter, Angele, the Napa Valley Opera House, and too many other special attractions to list here. Notable architect Luther Turton designed this group of homes. The Fox Cottage is a licensed City of Napa vacation rental house, business lic. #23016.
With gleaming oak floors, Egyptian cotton linens, pillow top beds, fluffy duvets and oriental carpets this home provides a romantic retreat.
This lovingly restored 1892 Queen Anne Victorian home is well suited for one or two couples. Tree shaded streets, elegant Bed and Breakfast Inns and friendly neighbors surround this special house. There is even an ancient redwood-sided carriage house at the rear of the property.
As recent guests commented, "The Fox Cottage was the perfect place to come home to after our daily "adventures" in Napa! Walking and exploring neighborhoods in the morning was fun, as well as walking to Pearl's for dinner. We enjoyed golf at Eagle Vines and Silverado and wine tasting at Domaine Chandon, Miner Family Vineyard and Sterling. This is a terrific location for all activities! Many thanks!- Peggy and Jim B."
Enjoy your getaway to wine country!

Why the Owner Chose Napa
In 1996 I acquired the Fox Cottage and operated it many years as a regular month to month rental house. In 2005 I refurbished the house again and converted it to a vacation rental. Napa has a unique combination of local activities, perfect climate, the best agricultural soils, beautiful landscape, and proximity to the SF Bay area.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The Fox Cottage is within easy walking distance of the thriving downtown area. Downtown Napa has over 20 Zagat rated restaurants, almost as many wine tasting rooms and wine bars, shopping, river walk and interesting seasonal activities and festivals. The cottage is a fine example of a Queen Anne "raised cottage" designed by notable local architect Luther Turton in 1892.
Hotel; Restaurants Celedon, Angele, Sweetie Pies, Napa Marketplace, Silos (live entertainment)
