Why Stay Here

Each cottage at Cottage Grove Inn has wooden beams, a wood-burning fireplace, and a deep soaking tub behind a privacy screen—no hallway neighbors, no shared walls. Dogs sleep on their own beds here, and the fire pit out back tends to collect guests who've opened bottles in their rooms and aren't ready to go inside yet.

  • Sixteen standalone cottages, each with a wood-burning fireplace and soaking tub
  • Breakfast delivered in a basket to your cottage door each morning
  • Dogs welcome; each cottage has space and a porch with rocking chairs
  • Fire pit area where guests gather with their own wine bottles in the evening

The Experience

Breakfast is left outside each cottage in a basket—fresh-baked pastries, fruit, and coffee—so there's no set dining time and no need to get dressed early. The wood-burning fireplaces actually work, and most guests light them even in shoulder season. By late afternoon, the fire pit becomes the common area, where people sit with wine they've brought back from tastings and talk longer than they planned.

The Setting

Cottage Grove Inn setting

The sixteen cottages sit in two rows along a central walkway on Lincoln Avenue, each one a standalone structure with a small front porch and rocking chairs. Lavender and rosemary grow between the pathways, and the scent follows you from the parking area to your door. It's a residential block in Calistoga, quiet enough that you hear the fire pit crackling at night but walkable to the tasting rooms and restaurants on the main stretch.

Activities & Experiences

Dynamic Wine Tour

Enjoy a full day of Napa wine tasting as you tour one of the world’s most famous wine regions. The tour includes pick up and drop off at the Inn, a knowledgeable tour guide, and a vineyard picnic lunch.

Cycling

Cottage Grove Inn is a cycling friendly inn offering healthy breakfasts for athletes, scenic rides along local country roads, and plenty of space for bike storage.

Insider Tips

Opt for a cottage with a private outdoor space for those charming morning coffees. Consider visiting during the off-peak season for a quieter experience and potentially better rates. Don't miss the chance to ask about the wine and cheese receptions that often take place, offering a taste of local flavors right on site.
