ABOUT
The Setting
History buffs and wine enthusiasts, prepare to strike gold. That being the charming Brannan Cottage Inn nestled in the northern neck of Napa Valley in the historic town of Calistoga. So historic in fact, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named Calistoga a “Distinctive Destination.” Recognized as one of an elite group of American communities dedicated to preserving its town’s character and sense of place. Originally built in 1860 by Calistoga founder Samuel Brannan (hence, the name), this historic inn is still located at its original location and listed with the National Register of Historic Places. But, everything about this intimate, six room boutique caters to modern nomads and Kind Travelers, including a LEED Silver Certification and a spot on TripAdvisors’s Hall of Fame.

- If you drive to Napa, leaving your car parked and taking advantage of bicycle tours, transit, and walking, makes a difference. Every car trip you eliminate helps improve the experience of visiting the Napa Valley – now and in the future. Transportation is responsible for nearly 40% of California's greenhouse gas emissions – and in the Napa Valley, that pollution is bad for the grapes that make the delicious wine you came to enjoy!
- In town, the Calistoga Shuttle is an on-demand transit service, free to all registered hotel guests.
