Foothill House

This was one of those times where my expectations were minimal, as I was just grateful to get a room for Valentine’s weekend, but from the moment we arrived all I could do was keep saying «WOW»! We had the cottage house, and it alone is worth coming here for. Stunning in every way. The dual fireplace that both richly adorns the suite but also the bathroom, where you feel you are outdoors with glass wall view from the shower and spa tug of the waterfall and hillside. Total privacy, including the grounds around you. The owners have a true passion for details. Everything that decorates or needed for function and tastefully provided. And the food!!! True works of art! I stumbled on this place and we now have a favorite get away.

My girlfriend and I were traveling from Atlanta, Ga and stayed here one night but we wish we had booked this place for our entire Napa trip. We had the Castella Room which was absolutely wonderful. Lynn Potter served delicious breakfast and evening appetizers and she accommodated for our diet restrictions by going above and beyond. If we travel to wine country again we will definitely stay here.
Note: I just copied and pasted this from a review i wrote on google, because I’m lazy.

My husband and I stayed here for a wedding in town and absolutely adored this place! We stayed in the evergreen room that had a huge private patio, breakfast nook, fireplace and spa tub. It had such a cozy homey feel, we didn’t want to leave. They also bring you an amazing home cooked breakfast to your front door every morning.

We stayed in this beautiful b&b for one night last weekend, August 16. The place is charming and the owners, Doris and Gaz are incredible! They both were so welcoming. We checked in around 5 pm and Doris met us in front of the house. She showed us around and took us to the room, which was very cozy and nicely decorated. It has a huge jacuzzi. Doris invited us to have some wine and cheese in the patio where her husband Gaz joined us. We had a very pleasant chat while siping a nice white and red wine. We had a dinner reservation in Calistoga Inn on that evening at 7 pm to celebrate our friend’s birthday, who stayed in Another hotel, but we enjoyed our conversation with Doris and Gaz so much that we did not want to leave. We finally left at 10 minutes after 7 pm and we wished we could stay longer. When we came back, we had home made cookies in the jar waiting for us. The next morning, Gaz brought us a wonderful breakfast in the basket. We felt like we were honeymooners! I can’t describe how delicious it was! My mouth is watery when I am writing about it now. Doris made us fresh croissants, which were placed on a hot stone to keep them warm. We had a baked dish (sorry I cant remember the name of it) made from potato, ham, eggs, green onion, and cheese, which melt in our mouthes. You should see how everything was served! Strawberries with whipped cream were piece of art! Even the butter was in a cute old fashion jar upside down, rested in the water to keep it cool. Everything was done with such a personal touch! Too bad, we only spend 1 night there. Gaz gave us recommendations what wineries to go. We followed his advise and ended up with buying 6 bottles of amazing Port in Vince Arrow vinery nearby. Thank you, Doris and Gaz for our wonderful weekend! It was really nice meeting you. We feel like we know you for a long time and definitely will visit you again! Victoria and Emil.

I am a AAA member and found this charming B&B in their travel book. I immediately noticed that they were the only recipient of a 4 AAA diamond rating in the area. When I called in for a rate, the owner Darla was very informative letting me know about all of the features in the room and on the premises.
Upon arriving, we were provided with some great dinner coupons (which we used later that night) as well as lots of information on great things to do in the area. Our room was very charming and had everything that we could possibly need including a private jacuzzi tub for 2, fireplace, TV, DVD’s, fresh cookies, toiletries, and a great atmosphere.
We checked in just in time for Darla’s appetizer and wine hour (5−6pm) and enjoyed some baguette, cheese, grapes, and tasty local wine as well as had the chance to speak with Darla a bit more about the neighborhood and the sites to see.
In the morning, we were delivered our breakfast which was made up of french toast, fruit salad, turkey sausage, tea and orange juice. Everything was very tasty and was just what we needed to start our day.
Upon checkout, Darla also provided us with ‘travel cookies’ which were great! Overall, this was an amazing place to stay and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone traveling to the Calistoga/​Napa area. I will definitely be back. Thanks, Darla!

My family and I stayed here in December of 2008 and had a great time. My family which includes myself, husband and two daughters stars in the Quail’s Roost and were very comfortable. Everything that you would need was right there in the room. beautiful fireplace, huge comfortable bed and a beautiful waterfall right outside of the room. Unlike one of the other posters, I found the waterfall very relaxing.
Breakfast was yummy and was brought to our room, the perfect start to a busy day exploring the cute town of Calistoga.
Oh…forgot one thing! There were fresh baked cookies in our room. My girls LOVED it.
Will be staying again!

My parents treated my S.O. and I to a night in the Redwood room on Sat. night, 2÷7÷2009, based on rave reviews from my sister and brother-​in-​law. Foothill House is in a beautiful setting, and it was exciting to drive up and see it stretched out before us.
Darla, the proprietor, was incredibly friendly during our entire stay. She explained about the included cocktail hour, asked about any food preferences or allergies, and showed us to our rooms. She was extremely detailed in explaining how everything in the room works (including the jacuzzi tub and stove). While it was nice of her to do so, I could have done with a little less explaining, as it took awhile, and we wanted to relax in the room.
The room itself was fairly rustic looking with a wood stove in the center of the room. The decorations were just not my style, since I tend to go for the more modern look, and the room was showered in flowers and a «country» motif. I wish the bed were a bit more comfortable, but I won’t complain too much since we were only there for one night.
The cocktail hour was a nice bonus, as we enjoyed some appetizers and a glass of wine, as well as chatted with Darla and another couple.
Darla delivered breakfast bright and early the next morning: a french toast concoction, eggs with artichokes, cheese, and chicken sausage, a cinnabon, oj, coffee, etc. All was pretty tasty.
And we LOVED the cookies in the room and to go.
If you want a Napa get-​away and enjoy rustic bed and breakfasts, then Foothill House is for you.

We don’t get a chance to visit our daughter and her SO on the West Coast that often, so we thought that in addition to just chillin’ at their house and doing some touristy things, we’d spend an overnight in wine country with them (so they, too, could have a little time away from home). Our other daughter and her husband highly recommended the B&B Foothill House in Calistoga, which is located in a very picturesque setting away from the hubbub. The rooms were a little too girly/​Laura Ashley for all of us, but the place was relaxing and enjoyable nevertheless… and the location was great.
Darla, the owner, showed us around our large rooms (Redwood and Evergreen Suite), gave instructions about the fireplace and jacuzzi, and gave useful advice about dining, wineries, etc. I’m a very light sleeper (as in, hardly ever sleeps) so the little waterfall outside the room didn’t help. Am sure that noise is relaxing to most people, but just as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City found the frog/​nature sounds annoying in one of the episodes with Berger, so, too, did I find the waterfall «noisy» and not conducive to sleeping. Since I’m vertically challenged, I also found it difficult to get onto the four-​poster bed without a running start. I was careful, during my first «run,» not to topple the yummy homemade cookies that were perched on the myriad pillows. Two glasses and a little container of sherry were on the bedside table (I drank the whole bottle by myself, thinking that that would help me sleep… but it didn’t).
A cocktail hour included a crab-​rangoon type of appetizer, cheese, fruit, crackers, and cookies, and wine. We schmoozed with Darla and a lovely couple from Pleasanton, CA. Darla served us a satisfying breakfast in our room: It included fruit salad, French toast, bacon, juice, coffee, some kind of soufflé and a cinnabun, and she took pains up-​front to see if we had food allergies, dietary restrictions, etc., which was very thoughtful. Cookies «for the ride home» was a nice touch. We had a pleasant experience and would recommend this place to others.

Very adorable bed and breakfast. We stayed in the Redwood Room, which was much larger than you’d expect. The jacuzzi tub in the room was great after a long day of driving. We had breakfast in the room but drank our coffee on our private patio. Small touches like the jar of homemade cookies and sherry by the bed really made our weekend. We’ll definitely go back.

this is a cute little B&B that’s a ways away from the hubbub of most of Napa. the breakfasts are served in your room and were pretty good. The innkeepers are really nice and will give you lots of winery and restaurant tips if you want ‘em. Wasn’t too crazy about the Laura Ashley décor, and our tub wasn’t really big enough for two people, so I probably wouldn’t return since the whole 4 poster bed-​floral print thing isn’t really my style.
