Nestled among giant redwoods born centuries ago, on a ridge straddling both the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, you will find our Calistoga Hideout: 15 minutes to the center of either the Sonoma Valley or Calistoga and the Napa Valley. The towering trees create a virtual cathedral encircling the house, reaching over 200 feet to the heavens; humbling with their length of limb as equally with their length of life. Set on a sunny, south-facing knoll above a gurgling, mountain brook is an incomparable lodging experience. Inside, you’ll find every modern amenity: a fully equipped chef's massive kitchen, 3 game rooms with pool and poker tables, a wine bar, smart and satellite TVs, Alexas and charging ports in every room, a Sonos sound system, Wi-Fi throughout.
We fly under the flag of the trailblazing naturalist John Muir, our hero. Father of our national parks and founder of the Sierra Club, we seek to foster what Mountain John famously said: "I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature's loveliness.” We look forward to your review and comments on our heartfelt project. Above all, we desire to be a leading example of sustainably executed projects and for our estates to ignite guests' bond with nature as we all look for a renewable path forward for our planet.
There are several options to access the house: walk our “fit-bit” hill, or we provide an ELECTRIC CART for guests’ use to travel the elevated short distance with ease. A 75-foot long deck cantilevers over Humbug Creek with redwoods growing right through it ~ an ideal place for breakfast and coffee. The large fire pit in the backyard is perfect for gathering and sharing tall tales or reviewing the adventures of the day. You can belly up to our outdoor bar in our circular, heated swimming pool. The hot tub is enormous, with state-of-the-art jet packs for hydrotherapy massage.
Each of the historically appointed bedrooms has a private bath. The Grande Room, with walls of reclaimed redwood, soars 3 stories to 27 feet with a dining table of a single 18-foot slab of Douglas Fir. The public spaces are vast and afford numerous additional daybeds in a variety of nooks scattered about the building. The backyard is a park-like setting in a mature redwood grove. Everything is reclaimed, repurposed, and antique - if only the furnishings could talk what stories they could tell... We have walnut cabinets from early Philadelphia in the billiards room, hand-made European doors of the late 1800s throughout, live edge redwood from the western shores of Sonoma County, fir plank flooring reclaimed from the abandoned Mare Island Naval Base at the North End of the San Francisco Bay. The artwork, sculpture, and objects displayed throughout the house come from rural America - all true antiques and mementos of life in the late 19th century.
