A lovely stay

Cottage Akimbo was the perfect "home base" for a week in Napa filled with hiking, eating, and wine tasting. The cottage is clean and bright and furnished with everything one needs. Hosts Mike and Irene are gracious and helpful. A truly unique bonus is the garden full of vegetables that we were encouraged to pick (carrots like you've never seen!) , as well as the fresh eggs from the hen house out back. We would come back here in a flash.

We have stayed at many vrbos and I have to say that our experience at the Cottage Akimbo was among the best. We had a wonderful, relaxing week. We loved Mike and Irene, who were on the property but balanced a great mixed of hospitality and gave us a lot of space. We enjoyed our quiet times by the pool. The fresh garden and the peppers were a high light for us. We ended up cooking in more than we had thought because it was so relaxing and so the veggies so fresh. Great location, out of the city bustle, but close enough to run in (maybe 10 minutes). We enjoyed their bikes and took in the beautiful of the valley. All in all...It was excellent. More beautiful than the pictures.

I can't say enough about how wonderful our stay was. My husband and I spent a week in late May. It is a most amazing cottage - the furnishings, the gardens, the serenity (all minutes from Napa although you'd never guess). Especially gracious were the hosts. It is truly a Napa Velley Paradise.

My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend and could have stayed a lot longer! Mike and his wife are great and the pictures do not do this place justice. It is so beautiful and tranquil and the gardens are nothing less than amazing. We certainly hope to return.

We had a wonderful time in this little cottage! The grounds were amazing and the owners were extremely generous and helpful!! They provided maps along with everything you'd need to stay at this beautiful little home, along with access to their AMAZING garden! My wife and I had a wonderful time on our honeymoon. Thank you!!

Lunch by the pool could be a spread in Sunset magazine! The
gardens are truly lovely and the variety of unusual organic vegetables is
amazing. We're planning our next visit around peak tomato season.
The website pictures don't do justice to the chic,
contemporary ethnic decor of the cottage (not a ruffle in site!).

Cottage Akimbo definitely surpassed our expectations. From the beautifully sculpted property to the tastefully deigned rooms and pool, everything about this place exemplified a romantic getaway. Let's put it this way- we were hesitant writing about this place for fear too many people would find out! Mike and Irene were excellent and inviting hosts who made themselves available for questions and requests throughout our trip. We were encouraged to pick and eat fresh vegetables from their extensive gardens, swam in the European inspired pool and even bbq'd. They really know their way around Napa and recommended some wonderful places for us to see. By far, one of the best vacations we've had and Akimbo was a huge reason for that. Thanks again Mike & Irene!

My wife and I had a fantastic 5 night stay at the Cottage Akimbo the first week of August 08. Our hosts were great and the atmosphere is truly amazing. The gardens are something that everyone must experience. Be sure to bring your camera. We picked fresh herbs and vegetables from the gardens most evenings for our dinner. We spent time on the front and back porches and used the pool area. The water was warm and very clean. I had to rescue our postcards and stamps that were blown by the wind and landed in the pool. I guess I should have placed a book on top of them.
We used the cottage as our home base as we explored the CA. coast, toured small towns, and visited wineries in the area. Mike and Irene suggested various spots that we might enjoy and helped us with directions. They were right on the money.
Thanks Mike and Irene,

Bill

Cottage Akimbo is a romantic and peaceful weekend getaway...The cottage itself, the gardens and landscapes are lovely as the owners themselves. The pool is wonderful on warm summer days and the location is central to everything in Napa. We will be back...
