Calistoga, Napa County, California starting at $521 for 2 nights at Cottage Grove Inn

A simple glance at the Cottage Grove Inn's collection of lovely clapboard bungalows evokes a deep sense of nostalgia. In the historic Napa Valley town of Calistoga, the 16 freestanding cottages exude a charmingly vintage air even though they were built in 1996. Step inside and celebrate your stunning surroundings: vaulted ceilings, an abundance of natural light, floors crafted from reclaimed wood, a whirlpool tub for two, and crackling fireplaces. Imagine yourself a seasoned vintner as you lounge on a rocking chair atop your private porch, enjoying a tranquility that only the Wine Country can offer. Each stay includes a wonderful breakfast in the morning and a wine and cheese reception in the afternoon. Even with all of this quaint charm, the cottages offer the modern-day amenities of modern luxury, like flat-panel televisions, DVD players and wireless internet access.

The Cottage Grove Inn's prime location only augments these spectacular appointments and amenities. Many know Calistoga as America's first "spa town," a reputation that dates back several decades, and comes mostly from its steamy natural hot springs. Just a block away you will find dozens of fine restaurants and bistros, as well as art galleries, healing spas and shops. Cruise along the scenic wine trail, stopping at one of the countless tasting rooms, gourmet markets and the Napa Valley's other wondrous hamlets. By the end of the day, your idyllic cottage, waiting patiently beneath a grove of century-old elm trees, provides the most perfect luxurious refuge. What could be a better way to end your day than to uncork a bottle of wine from a local vineyard and enjoy a glass from your private porch, all the while anticipating the arrival of a private massage therapist? Yes, in-room spa treatments are just another luxury that can be arranged by the staff of the Cottage Grove Inn. Welcome to Wine Country paradise.
