Exceptional!

Perfection in every way!!
Great proximity to the town of St Helena, charming and welcoming cottage home just a few blocks from fabulous restaurants and shops. Best beds and linens made for cozy and restful sleeps. The side and back patios were perfect for dining outside and relaxing with a book. Loved everything about this stay--perfect spot for 4 people. ❤️❤️❤️
Perfect place from which to relax, tour, taste wine, walk/bike, and eat!
Loved your home...from the short walk to town to the evenings at the fire pit. We'll be back.
Great little town and beautiful home!
Arrived in Saint Helena at around 930p on September 15. We were amazingly surprised at how nice the house was. Nice fire pit in the back to burn wood. Lots of channels on tv. My husband pleased to be able to watch his football game Saturday afternoon. Beds were very comfortable. Cute little town within walking distance. Our only problem is when we got there the air wasn't working but it was quickly resolved the next day by Suzanne. The great thing is there were screens on the French doors so we were able to get a nice breeze at night along with a ceiling fan. Compensated for our trouble without even having to ask. This was a once in a lifetime trip for us and our grown sons but would stay here again if we ever did return. Thanks for everything! Terri
Great house with great location
The house was wonderful! The artwork is amazing and each day we noticed a new piece to talk about! The location is close to everything and walkable to Main Street. The beds were a little too firm for our taste but otherwise the house was fantastic. We will definitely stay here again!
Quaint Spot, Fantastic Location to Town of St. Helena
Amazing location - so close to main street and all attractions / vineyards in St. Helena. Would definitely recommend and return for future visits to the area
"Slow Down" in St. Helena
A stay in this wonderful home allows guests to "slow down" in St. Helena and Napa Valley. As the valley has grown and gained in popularity, it has become crowded and expensive. A stay at this home allows guests to enjoy quiet evenings in the beautiful back and front yards. For those people who love to cook, you'll find high-end appliances which are so easy to use. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans, glasses and dishes.
The home is perfect for two couples, each enjoying their own bedroom and bath. It's quite obvious the owners love the home as it is filled with art work and beautifully decorated. There were welcome gifts - freshly ground coffee beans, water, fresh eggs, and a delicious loaf of bread from Model Bakery. We cooked all of our meals and ate outside at the picnic table.
Even though this house has neighboring homes, because of the well-established plants, the yards are very private. Truly, the only sound we heard while in the back yard was the cackling of a hen - no human voices.
One of the best features was something we didn't use. There were detailed instructions regarding the use of the television. We have rented houses and spent time trying to determine how to figure out channels, movies, etc. This home had complete instructions located by the television. (We, however, were happy drinking Cabernet in the back yard.)
I felt the price was reasonable. Hotel rooms in the Napa Valley are quite expensive and many hotels have 2 or 3 day minimums. We loved our stay at this charming home. I echo reviews I have read, and give the home 5 stars.

Nearby Crane Park hosts our weekly Farmer's Market on Friday mornings May through October. We have some of the best restaurants in the world within walking distance and hundreds of wineries in the surrounding area.
