Built
at the turn of the century the Wine Way Inn is one of the finest
examples of Craftsman architecture in Calistoga. Reputedly built for
Leland Stanford, our builders tell us that the structural timbers are
American white pine that must have shipped around the horn from South
Carolina.
Converted
from its original status as a family home in 1978, the Wine Way Inn is
Calistoga's oldest Bed and Breakfast Inn. The original adaptation, and
the loving care of the current and previous owners, have preserved the
best of the original architecture while providing accommodation with
period charm and modern convenience.
The
guest dining room and parlor have the original shoulder high oak
wainscoting and leaded glass built-in cabinets along with a charming
fireplace.
The
building is complemented by the stunning multi level redwood deck at
the rear of the house. Always a wonderful surprise for our new guests,
the deck and garden provide an ideal spot to relax and soak up the last
of the day's sunshine while enjoying the views of Mount St. Helena and
the Palisades.
On
warm nights (most of the year here in Calistoga) guests congregate here
to enjoy the evening's complimentary wine and appetizers, share stories
of the day's wine finds, or simply make new friends. For those
preferring more intimate conversation, there is plenty of room to find
your own private spot.
We
look forward to meeting you!
