About this property

Formerly the Old Toll Road Inn - 4 Beds/4.5 Baths

This beautifully appointed, former Bed & Breakfast features 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths on 4+ acres - located on Mount St. Helena in Calistoga.

Located on a historic wagon road that led to the old mining town of Silverado in the 1800's, our home features natural mountain spring water (no sulfur smell which is typical in/around Calistoga due this being a very active geothermal area).

The house sits on an absolutely beautiful piece of property in Calistoga. It has 2 verandas where you can watch fabulous sunsets with your friends, drink a a great glass of wine or 2. The views are unbelievable! The kitchen is very well-stocked - even have the spices, kitchen wrap/baggies/tinfoil, etc that normally are removed from the kitchen in other rentals! They have 3 comfortable bedrooms with en suites and one with a murphy bed with a bathroom across the hallway. There is a pool room with a tv too. The owners are very good at communications and made excellent recommendations re restaurants, grocery stores, etc. You will love this place. The only negative is the driveway is up a slight hill and turning around at the parking space is very limited. We had a van and it was difficult.

The property was absolutely beautiful, and the views were amazing!! We didn't want to leave. Our host, Tina, was so helpful and response about a couple of questions that we had. Just an incredible experience overall! We would definitely consider booking it again if we are ever in the Napa Valley in the future.

The property and accommodations are amazing. It's the perfect place to unwind, relax and feel taken care of. The views are fantastic - as pictured. We sat mesmerized by the interplay between the Steller's jays and the Acorn woodpeckers (at the bird feeders). There are many indoor and outdoor places to sit, alone or with family/friends. The kitchen has everything one could need, the bed and bath linens are exquisite,

This house was incredible. The views were absolutely incredible and they provided everything we could have needed. Tina was very responsive and helpful! The sheets were very soft and one of our travelers was looking them up prior to our departure. The towels were also very soft and luxurious. The only minor complaints (if you can even call them that) were as follows: the rugs throughout the house were a little rough and no shoes were requested (wish I brought slippers), the comforters were too heavy for our summertime visit, would have preferred more bags of coffee (vs pods) so we could brew more large pots of coffee for the whole group. As I said, these were absolutely minor complaints! The treehouse room was quite warm when we arrived, but it cooled down with the mini-split turned down some. We all loved this house and would visit again. We enjoyed relaxing on the huge patio with a glass of wine in the evenings as the temperature cooled off. As a bird lover, I loved watching the birds from both inside and outside. I also enjoyed walking and running along the road in the mornings (there is very little traffic and I didn't use headphones). However, coming from a very flat state, I think we underestimated the difficulty of the roads! It didn't help we were in a huge vehicle to hold our entire group. Definitely follow the advice and come to the house from the north side of the road because it is very narrow and dangerous to drive the entire road up to the house.

Thank you, Kacey for the super thoughtful review! Until the past few years following the COVID shutdown the house was typically vacant mid June through August due to Napa Valley being extremely hot in the summer. I appreciate your feedback on the bedding being too warm for the summer, and have ordered light weight down comforters and lighter weight duvet covers for the 2 bedrooms that currently have all weather down alternative/hypoallergenic comforters and linen duvets.

About the host

Hosted by Tina Sampath

Host profile image
Me and my husband are both employed in the life sciences industry in the Bay Area- we’re wine enthusiasts who enjoy visiting the many smaller, lesser known wineries throughout Napa and Sonoma counties.

Why they chose this property

Our house provides the best of both worlds- Napa by day, be in downtown Calistoga within minutes where you'll find multiple highly rated restaurants and shops. Enjoy serenity/privacy by night with amazing views from 2 decks.

What makes this property unique

We love the history of Old Lawley Toll Road, a wagon trail to the old mining town of Silverado (made famous in Robert Louis Stephenson's The Silverado Squatters.)
