This place is very well thought out from the amenities to the privacy and layout. Beautiful decorations and perfect for both short and longer stays as it has all the tools for cooking. In our opinion, the location is excellent as it is under 10 minutes drive from downtown Napa, yet just outside of the dense center which gives you immediate access to Silverado trail and points northward. Barbara provides clear instructions for check in and check out. This property is an instant favorite of ours in Napa.

Comfortable and attractive. The garden in back is a delight, either for sitting down among the plantings or just on the deck with a view. Enjoyed hearing the dog scamper above us.I using a navigation app, be aware that exiting can be confusing. Enter the intersection with caution.

We very much enjoyed the spaciousness, flow, and layout of the rental! It was clean and incredibly well equipped, e.g. linens, kitchen needs, etc. I loved the jetted tub and hot tub! The garden was lovely. There was a glitch on checking in, but it worked out easily and the owner was on site and quite genial. They had an extensive guide to the area which we found to be of a great help!One challenge was that the central air was connected to the house, so I had to request an adjustment and felt uncomfortable that it might be an inconvenience to the owner living there. Another was that, while the garden/property was large, it was on a small state highway, therefore not as quiet as I had hoped. Overall, we loved staying there for 5 days and found it to be a great anchor for our days out and about!

We stayed here for the second time and had a wonderful time. The location is surrounded by mature trees filled with birds, especially in the morning. The location also provides ready access to wineries, shopping and food. I will be back!

The property is adjacent to Silverado Trail, a very busy street. With the doors to the unit closed there was no noise. Instructions for the hot tub were clear, putting it to my desired temp early made it perfect for an evening soak. The house was clean. We were concerned about dog fur and dog smell as my wife is sensitive to both but there was neither noted. While there is not a stove, the host has equipment to cook in the unit. The location was 5-10 minutes from downtown. The bed was very comfortable. Barbara communicates very well.

Charming home and pleasant stay

A pretty house, landscaped backyard, tall trees and benches to absorb the afternoon sun. Even a hot tub from which this could all be experienced!A friendly hostess who was ready to answer questions as needed. She had also thought of everything a family would need during the stay, extra towels, blankets, a range of small kitchen tools.The location was convenient and close to all the action, yet tucked away in a quiet nook.A very relaxing stay overall, would be happy to repeat!

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Schell

Host profile image
I'm an older lady, now single. Originally from Idaho (Boise valley), moved to California in 1970, then to Napa. Enjoy the ocean, love to garden, entertain, and cook! Enjoy people.

Why they chose this property

Property is 5 minutes away from Downtown, yet close to all activities. 1/3 acre of wooded grounds with lawns, and flower gardens. Most neighbors are on 1/3 acre to over 4 acres., so nicely spread out. Very private, older more upscale neighborhood and one that is safe as well. Plenty of off street parking. Come and enjoy our valley!

What makes this property unique

pets (dogs only) are welcome! Spacious yard, with fencing on 2 sides only. One street side open. Private hot tub perched on deck overlooking gardens & yard. Outside smoking is permitted.
