Perfect for 3, bathroom and kitchen need updating ( crack in sink, old flooring). Pool and hot tub were clean and an AMAZING temperature.
No clean sponge provided for washing dishes, and a bowl was found in the cupboard completely soiled.
Overall though, I would stay there again.
Check-in was easy and the room was clean. The kitchen could use updating and the quality of the complementary coffee is poor. I know that sounds whiny, but there’s better coffee around than that. The walls are thin and we could hear the guests next door. The pool is very nice. All in all, a decent stay for a lower price point than other places closer to town.

Everything was lovely. Should probably warn people about the size of the parking lot. Thankfully we bought my car. Had we brought my husband’s truck, or anything bigger than a compact car. We would not have fit in the parking spaces.
Matt and crew were so friendly and helpful! It was a perfect few days of relaxtion in a simple cozy spot. Reasonable & with everything we needed. Can't wait to come back.
Sweet spot really close to Golden Haven spa. Walk back and forth to your treatment and you can use all of the pools at both places! The handmade essential oils for the jacuzzi are lovely and all staff were great. Dog friendly a huge plus, even though we didn't bring ours. We will be back!!
Older property but very clean and safe. Unfortunately, they do not have central heating. Only a wall unit on the living room. We left the bedroom door open but was still cold in December.
Please check extra fees. I was charged some extra fees by mistake and then I was credited. If you use a credit card they charge 3.5% it isn’t listed at all on Hotels.com. When you get there they have a sign that States you have to pay 3.5% when you check in . ** So, even though my reservation through Hotels.com said that I only was supposed to pay $713 they charged me about 5%!! I noticed the mistake and I told them, and they gave me a partial refund for the 1.5% but still charged me 3.5% for using my card! I was given the option to pay cash and they would reverse the credit card fee, but the closest bank is 15 miles away in St Helena and closed on most of the weekend. I try to be civil and told the owner that I could send them a check when I got home and they could just credit the credit card for the mistake and she said it was too late that the reservation was already closed. If I would’ve known that they were going to charge a fee for using a credit card I would’ve taken more cash from home but it’s not noted anywhere in Hotels.com. Not fair and they didn’t really care. I have an autistic son with a small therapy dog and they had even said about a dog fee. Very sketchy money hungry.
Can’t wait to come back. Super clean, a little retro vibe, but all the amenities needed for a comfy, memorable stay. Did I say can’t wait to come back?!
Stayed 5 nights, no room service. Had to take out trash myself and go fetch fresh towels and coffee from reception. Pool opens at 9 a.m., had to wait for it to open. Parking is assigned, one car space per room.
The property is very nice looking. The room was nice but it was very dirty. When we entered there was hair everywhere. We had to wait in the car while they swept instead of vacuumed it. The glassware had food on and smudges on them and the shower groute had a lot of mold. Unfortunately we will not return. Cleanliness is a big deal for me.
