Six stars if I could. Mike and his staff have nailed it. These cozy cottages are in a great location. Fresh eggs and pastries each morning are a treat. We rode the free bikes each day to work off a bit of food and wine. The fire on the patio was a great way to unwind. They have truly thought of everything and the staff will take care of anything or any reservations you forgot. We will definitely be back.

Our stay here was absolutely phenomenal. Great hospitality from Mike and Christine. Every amenity detail and room item was thoughtfully perscribed to give the feeling of a home away from home. From the heated washroom floors to the picnic go-bag, the near endless supply of eggs to the self-refilling firewood pile, not a single thing was missing. If you could think of a need during your stay, Mike and Christine have already procured a solution. One of the best parts of our stay was interacting with the other guests on the property. Do not miss the opportunity to meet your fellow humans!

Had such a wonderful time here. Electric bikes available for free to make the most of seeing the area, and you are right on the wine bike trail. Service was excellent, with both the owner and people who worked with him being a delight. Rooms were lovely and every need catered for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone

Mike is an incredible host. He welcomed us after office hours and provided a tour of the grounds. Bouchon baked goods, fresh squeezed orange juice, and fresh eggs every morning! Romantic and cozy vibe. Housekeeping did a great job. We will be back.

The Cottages of Napa Valley is truly a gem! My wife and I recently celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary here, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, Mike and the entire staff made us feel so welcome with their warmth and kindness. Every detail is thoughtfully curated to create a luxurious yet cozy experience, and it’s clear that they genuinely care about making each guest’s stay special. We've been coming here for the past 13 years, and every visit feels like coming home. The charm, comfort, and beauty of The Cottages never fade—it only gets better! This time, we had the joy of sharing the experience with our closest friends, and they fell in love with it just as much as we have. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat in Napa with incredible hospitality, beautiful accommodations, and an unforgettable experience, look no further. We can't wait to return!

We stayed at The Cottages of Napa County in early September 2024 when we were celebrating our 46th anniversary. Our stay couldn’t have been more memorable! The host, Mike, and his staff made sure our stay was stellar, from the beginning welcome to the walking tour of the amenities to the attention to detail inside the cottage and to the special breakfast delivered to our doorstep the next morning. The cottage we stayed in had everything one could want – plush robes, a deep tub, toiletries, nicely appointed kitchen with its own little table with two chairs. And a private outdoor sitting area. We were celebrated with a lovely bottle of champagne and an anniversary card. Now that’s classy! Thanks, Mike – we’ll be back!

Our stay at The Cottages of Napa was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, I could tell that a lot of attention to detail had gone into making this place special. The cottages are incredibly well-maintained, offering a perfect balance of comfort and charm. The decor is beautiful, and everything you might need is thoughtfully provided. Accessibility was also a big plus. The cottages are conveniently located, making it easy to explore the best that Napa has to offer. Whether you're planning to visit the wineries, downtown Napa, or simply enjoy the stunning scenery, everything is just a short drive away. The space in the cottages is more than ample, offering both privacy and room to relax. It was the perfect place to unwind after a day of sightseeing. Lastly, Mike, the owner, was incredibly accommodating. He made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was as comfortable as possible. His personal touch really made all the difference, and we can't thank him enough for making this such a memorable experience. The bonus is the daily delivery from Bouchon bakery at our doorstep. What an incredible treat each morning! Highly recommend The Cottages of Napa for anyone looking for a relaxing, convenient, and welcoming place to stay in Napa Valley!
