We spent 3 days at this newly-renovated cottage near downtown Calistoga. Our party included myself, my husband, and our Cavalier King Charles, Daisy.
The cottage is one of three at a beautifully-landscaped estate that also includes a main house. The compound is arranged around a small courtyard, and has a peaceful, serene atmosphere that leads to a sense of refuge and comfort. Though the unit is small, it is extremely well-provisioned and pleasant. As my husband said, “it has everything you need and nothing you don’t.” This leads to a clean, tidy, yet luxurious atmosphere. Our unit also had a fenced backyard with deck.
Thoughtful details abound: a Kuerig coffee maker, milk steamer, Cuisinart toaster oven, microwave, all needed utensils, and even a supply of aluminum foil and plastic wrap. If you are a fan of luxurious sheets, you will love the “Comphy” linens. And they even offer special supplies for the dog: soft sleeping blanket, towel, and bowls for food and water. There’s a nearby dog park, and Daisy loved walking and exploring the streets with us.
The location is also outstanding, if you like small-town peaceful neighborhoods. It is any easy quarter-mile walk to the Cal-Mart and downtown, with many excellent shops, cafe’s, restaurants, and wine-tasting bars. It’s also a short drive to a number of beautiful hikes in the parks of nearby hills.
Management was extremely friendly and available, though nothing broke down, so we had no need to contact them beyond greetings and regretful goodbyes. We will definitely be repeat renters at this property!
