Best Places to Kiss: Situated on a beautifully landscaped knoll overlooking tranquil acres of tree-hemmed vineyards, this dark wood-paneled inn has all the makings for a romantic country experience.” Recommended Country Inns, West Coast: Unlike many inns in the area, this one was built new from the ground up. The Smiths borrowed ideas from historic buildings in the valley, making their three story stone-and-wood inn look right at home in the vineyards. Country Inns and Back Roads: I think other innkeepers in California are fortunate to have such a model inn after which to fashion themselves. The care and consideration that have gone into the designing, and the result, prove that a country inn doesn’t have to be old to be legendary. |
Karen Brown’s California Charming Inns & Itineraries: The setting is peaceful, the mood relaxing, and the staff knowledgeable and friendly. Public areas include a lovely lobby which opens onto a large expanse of deck and a pool (now heated all year) on the terraced hillside bounded by a patio and colorful gardens. Weekend’s for Two in Northern California 50 Romantic Getaways: Like the exterior, guests’ rooms here draw some inspiration from the inns of old, with country-style furnishings, homespun quilts and iron beds. Welcome contemporary touches include patios, balconies, wet bars and modern bathrooms. The Discerning Traveler’s Guide To Special Places: What all the rooms have in common is comfort. ... There are pastoral views and intimate rooms ideal for romance. The Inn has an outdoor swimming pool with plenty of lounge chairs, and a large bubbling spa nearby. |
“Our recent stay at The Wine Country Inn was extended from two nights to three and then from three to four. This should be a vivid testimonial of our impression of your inn” - D.L. Bergman “My husband and I recently returned from a vacation on the West Coast, including one night in the Napa Valley. The Wine Country Inn is easily the most delightful place we’ve ever stayed while traveling! It was everything Holiday magazine and your brochure boasted. Its charm and the gracious reception we received from your young people on the desk will be a pleasant remembrance.” - E. Hardy “We were enormously impressed with everything. Your staff is marvelous, the rooms lovely and the food delicious. I couldn’t even fault the coffee!!!” - N. Bennett “The quaint (but not cute) rooms with comforters - fireplaces - view of the full moon - the handmade comfortable bed - the fine furniture - well I could go on and on...” - M. Gonzalez |
