Johnathan and Kaylee’s place is the perfect location and big enough to really spread out. We enjoyed staying here very much and would definitely stay again!

Virginia and Rita’s place was absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect sanctuary for our stay in Napa with our family. Our baby and dog loved the backyard!

10-Acre Vineyard Cottage w/Hot Tub + Bocce Court
Such a wonderful spot! Had everything we needed and it was so clean! Staying right among the vines was amazing. The beautiful gardens, fire pit and bocce were awesome, so much space on the property. Lastly, it was within 15 minutes of every tasting we went to, even closer to downtown Healdsburg. Such a special little place ☺️

Zen House on 15 acres
This was one of the best stays we’ve experienced! The house was spacious and very comfortable and the garden outside was gorgeous. It was very secluded, quiet, and peaceful—we hope to come back!

Vineyard Stay • Walk to Wineries • Press Favorite
Bill is an incredible host! He is so kind and responsive, always trying to make your stay 10/10. The house is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, spotlessly clean, and well-stocked. If you want a truly peaceful and relaxing place to stay, with a kind and attentive host, this is the place you should stay!

WineCamp - Russian River Valley AVA - No Pets
We had a wonderful time at Wine Camp. The house is beautiful-high ceilings and lots of natural light with great outdoor space to enjoy the scenery. It’s close enough to town to be convenient but out far enough to feel like you are in the country. The house had everything we needed for our get-away.

Modern and Luxe: Studio455 (+bikes)
This AirBnb was amazing. I have to start with the bed - I cannot tell you how well I slept. Usually I sleep terribly my first night in a new place, but I slept like a dream all three nights at Kate's place. This is truly an impressive use of space. You have everything you need and it's incredibly cozy.

Wow, this place is stunning. Not only the view, but the home itself is honestly incredible. It was so clean, modern & refreshing. The hosts thought of everything that we might have needed for our stay, including water, non alcoholic wine & even epson salt for the bath! I can't believe we were lucky enough to stay here. I couldn't recommend it more! Thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience!

Everything at this property was perfection. The neighborhood, the home space, outdoor spaces, pool were all beautiful and comfortable. Jon and his wife spent years making this property an oasis and it shows. Very special place and wonderful if you're looking for a calming retreat. Felt right at home.

One Bedroom Cottage Along the Napa River
My stay was AMAZING!!! The front desk staff is very kind and informative. The location is perfect, close to the river, freeway and Downtown. The cabin itself was so cute and welcoming with everything you could possibly need. There are on site events a few days a week, a game room, a fitness center and a pool, so even if you never use your car, there's no way to get bored here. I came here to relax for a few days and when I left, I felt exactly that: ultimately relaxed. I will definitely be back!!!

Your guide to Napa Valley
All About Napa Valley
Ever since the famous Judgment of Paris in 1976, when American bottles beat out legendary French vintages in a blind tasting, Napa Valley has been a major player in the wine universe. Located 50 miles northwest of San Francisco, the valley is small by wine country standards — just 30 miles long — but with hundreds of wineries and tasting rooms, not to mention parks, lakes, museums, and some of the most highly acclaimed restaurants in the world, it can seem impenetrable. Set in the valley’s northernmost tip, the town of Calistoga is home to an array of thermal springs, hiking trails, a petrified forest, and grand architecture, including a historic chateau built in 1888 and a medieval-style Tuscan castle.
As you make your way south, you’ll find St. Helena, the birthplace of Napa Valley’s first winery and the heart of the valley with its tidy main street, farm-to-table restaurants, and art galleries. The area’s creativity is on full display at local art institutions such as the di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art and the Napa Valley Museum Yountville. And the Rail Arts District showcasing murals from global artists runs two miles along the Napa Valley Vine Trail in downtown Napa, with lots of detours in which to sample a glass of the valley’s masterpiece, cabernet sauvignon.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Napa Valley
One of the best times to visit Napa Valley is during the harvest season, from August through October. Foliage adorns the rolling vineyards, valleys, and vistas in shades of gold, crimson, and orange, creating an exceptional backdrop to the region’s lively grape-gathering. A film festival occurs in November and offers an immersive experience that includes wine, food, and film-screening opportunities at unique venues throughout the area.
Following that are the twinkling lights and holiday-inspired festivities that animate Napa during the winter. Many wineries offer holiday open-houses and specials on wine during this time. You may even want to hop aboard the Napa Valley Wine Trolley for a light holiday adventure. Spring brings balmy weather, yellow mustard flowers, and blooming fruit trees, including plum, apple, apricot, and quince, which ornament the vast landscapes. And summer follows with warm temperatures, local farmers’ markets, and optimal weather for enjoying outdoor recreational activities.
Top things to do in Napa Valley
Napa Art Walk
The Napa Art Walk is a biannual, rotating exhibition displaying carefully curated sculptures representing a specific theme and created by artists from the western states. The outdoor museum meanders through downtown Napa. Stop by the Napa Valley Welcome Center for a complimentary map of the art walk. You can also download a self-guided audio tour for some backstory on the artists and the inspiration behind their work.
Oxbow Public Market
Indulge your taste buds with a trip to the Oxbow Public Market, located in the Oxbow District of Napa. The market encompasses 40,000 square feet and features an array of delicacies, fresh local produce, and artisanal products, like chocolates, regional cheeses, and spices. You can pick up some treats to enjoy on the outdoor deck overlooking the scenic Napa River.
Old Faithful Geyser
In Calistoga, at the northern edge of Napa Valley, you’ll find the Old Faithful Geyser. Deemed one of three faithful geysers in the world, it dramatically blows off steam every 15 to 30 minutes, and when the sunlight catches its water's mist, a rainbow shines through it.
