Why Stay Here

The bungalows at Brannan Cottage Inn open directly onto private porches facing lavender-scented garden paths, close enough to downtown Calistoga that guests walk to tasting rooms in under ten minutes. Dogs are welcome on the property.

  • Sam's General Store on the property for morning coffee and pastries
  • Dog-friendly bungalows with private porches
  • Keyless entry and contactless check-in
  • Walking distance to Lincoln Avenue tasting rooms

The Experience

Guests often walk to Sam's General Store in the morning for coffee, then settle into rocking chairs on their bungalow porches. The keyless room entry and contactless check-in mean arrivals happen without a front desk stop. Afternoons are spent either walking into town or staying put in the courtyard until evening.

The Setting

Brannan Cottage Inn setting

A white picket fence marks the entrance to Brannan Cottage Inn, where individual bungalows painted in bright hues line a central courtyard. Private porches look out onto garden paths planted with lavender, and Sam's General Store sits just across the property, open for coffee and pastries. The inn sits on a quiet block within walking distance of Lincoln Avenue.
