HotelMount View Hotel & Spa
A historic downtown Calistoga hotel with a thermal mineral pool and full spa.

Golden Haven's private patios in select rooms hold individual hot springs pools fed directly by Calistoga's geothermal aquifer. The mineral water arrives warm from underground, and guests can soak without sharing the space or booking a time slot. Most visitors add a second spa treatment before they leave—massages booked after the mud bath are the most common pairing.
A mud bath here means sharing a private treatment room—couples or friends go through the hot mud, mineral soak, and flannel wrap together rather than separately. Most packages combine the mud bath with a massage booked immediately after. Every guest receives complimentary bike use during their stay, and the front desk keeps a list of nearby wineries within cycling distance. Weekend mud bath slots fill up first, so midweek visits offer more flexibility.

Golden Haven sits in Calistoga, where wooden beams and stone details mark the entrance to the 28-room property. The geothermal aquifer running beneath the spa supplies every treatment room and pool with mineral water that requires no heating. Some accommodations open directly onto their own patio, while the two-bedroom suites occupy separate structures designed for groups traveling together.

The Standard Rooms at Golden Haven provide a cozy retreat, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration in Napa Valley. Each room is designed for comfort and affordability, ensuring guests feel right at home, with some featuring their own hot springs spa for a truly unique experience.
Perfect for larger groups, the Two-Bedroom Suites offer ample space and a welcoming atmosphere for friends or families traveling together. With thoughtful amenities and a convenient layout, these suites ensure a comfortable stay while enjoying all that Golden Haven has to offer.

At Golden Haven Spa, the signature Mud Baths are a must-try, offering a unique and rejuvenating experience that has been a Calistoga tradition for over a century. Guests can indulge in a soothing blend of clay, peat, and hot mineral water, all while enjoying the serene atmosphere of their private treatment rooms, making it a perfect escape for couples and friends alike. Highlights include couples and friends mud baths, private treatment rooms, traditional health-giving properties.
The Mud Bath Experience at Golden Haven is a delightful three-step treatment that allows guests to immerse themselves in the therapeutic benefits of the mineral-rich mud. This hour-long journey includes a soothing soak, a rejuvenating facial mask, and a relaxing mineral bath, all designed to melt away stress and leave you glowing.
For those who prefer a gentler touch, the Herbal Mineral Bath offers the soothing and healing effects of freshly drawn mineral water without the mud. This option allows guests to relax and rejuvenate in a tranquil setting, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to unwind.
