Scarlett’s Vacation Rental

I wish I could give it 6 stars. I was here for a few days, and at the end of the trip, I left my expensive leather jacket, that was a birthday present, hanging in the closet. They shipped it back to me– and didn’t even let me pay for the shipping costs!
My experience staying here was phenomenal. The location is amazing, the view is spectacular, and the house is equipped with everything you could possibly need. Basic cooking supplies, multiple fridges in different rooms, coffee and coffee machines, tea, A grill to barbecue, an outdoor table with lights, the pool and the jacuzzi. It was the most comfortable, luxurious and homey place I have ever stayed at.
The owners are very, very nice.

We had a bad booking experience with this owner and her property. She reserved the property for us and told us it will be on hold of 24 hrs and she will send us the details for the deposit. In the meantime we made all other reservations and plans according to this location and she got back indicating another party made a deposit and she plans to give them the property. When we asked her this is not fair as we made other plans and had friends traveling from out of town who booked their air tickets and we transferred the deposit via paypal as requested by her, she replied «sorry» and refunded our deposit back. This IMO is a very poor business ethics and in a way I am glad I am not doing business with her.

This review is long overdue as I had the most amazing time celebrating my 40^th birthday at Scarlett’s in 2013… Memories to treasure for a lifetime! Truly a hidden gem and a one-​of-​a-​kind property!
We rented the main house and cottage. Perfect for a large group, couples or family vacation. Beautiful décor, cozy bedding, vineyard views with wineries, restaurants & shopping galore at your fingertips… What more could you ask for?
We had a girls b-​day weekend getaway which started with wine tasting throughout the Napa Valley, continued with appetizers by the pool and a gorgeous vineyard sunset and BBQ dinner under the stars.
This property has everything you need for a private, tranquil vacation… Comfortable, stylish accommodations with plenty of areas for outdoor dining and relaxation!
Highly recommended… My friends and I had a blast! Thank you for such a memorable vacation!

Lucky to get this last minute booking for a weekend getaway. This charming place is tucked away from the busy hustle and bustle of the main Calistoga drag. Amongst the glorious surrounding vineyards and trees this recently remodeled treasure was absolutely perfect. My stay in the Arrowhead Room was marvelous, a rustic, clean and quaint space with its own private bathroom, separate entry and patio. I was pleased to find that this room is separate from the main house. The grounds are well kept with enough privacy to spend a much needed peaceful time to myself. I look forward to staying here again.

My friend and I decided to do a Girl’s Spa Weekend up in Calistoga and wanted to stay in a place that was away from the hustle and bustle (not a lot of that in Calistoga, but still), and more relaxing than a chain place. We found Scarlett’s Country Inn on Unilocal and noted the great reviews, but also noted that no one had reviewed this place yet this year. They were available and in the right price range, so we booked the Camelia for the weekend.
So incredibly glad we did! The owners were very sweet and let us know that it is no longer a bed and breakfast, but more like a vacation rental. I think the woman who ran it as a B&B passed away (I’m so sorry for your loss), but the family wanted to keep it going.
Do not expect a modern, immaculate hotel room. Expect a comfortable, charming farmhouse-​style place. VERY comfortable, very quiet, and nestled in the hillside. Be careful driving at night because you will probably miss the turn off. It’s a perfect getaway.
Our favorite part of the weekend was not the massage at the Spa Train, but lounging for hours around the pool at Scarlett’s. It was a HOT weekend so we went right to the pool, and after swimming for a while we found the lounge rafts and lay floating for about an hour, listening to the quiet breeze tickle the windchimes hanging in the tree. It was just beautiful and very zen. If you get a chance, lie on one of the rafts, float around, clear your mind, and look at the various types of trees around the property while you float around. Just gorgeous.
The owners are lovely, warm, and inviting people. They leave you to your own devices though and allow you to make your weekend your own. There are views of a neighboring vineyard and also of the hills. It’s a good 5 – 10 minute drive from downtown Calistoga, which if you ask me, is perfect.
Thank you Scarlett’s for a wonderful weekend!

Dearest Scarlett,
You were the sweetest, kindest, most generous and hospitable hostess to us and we are so grateful. My four gf’s and I stayed at your lovely inn last March before the fatal crash in July. We were deeply saddened to hear of the news and hope you are resting peacefully in a fabulous place like your B&B.
During our stay, you cooked us the yummiest breakfast and chatted with us as we had our french toast and half cantaloupes filled with berries. You so kindly offered us an extra room at no additional charge. You had the cutest dogs including Chewy (short for Chewbacca haha), the little pom who definitely is the bossy boss of everyone, including the big dog. :) You let us play in your backyard, on the trampoline and swings, which made us feel like little girls again. And too bad we were too tired to soak in the hot tub you offered.
We’re sorry it took this long to finally open a Unilocal account and write you this review. You are my first review and I’m so sad to hear Scarlett’s Inn is closing. We do know you touched the lives of many, including us five, during the short weekend we spent with you.
Scarlett, you made this inn truly charming. Thank you again and may you rest in peace.

Closing down. Too bad. :(

Went here last May for part of my bachlorette party with my girls. The place is super cute. Feels like you are visiting your family friend’s home out in the country.
The place is not fancy at all, but it’s cute and full of love. Scarlett and her family lived there and when her children grew up she turned it into a bed and breakfast. The place was perfect for us girls. Slept all 8 of us easily. It was near the wineries we wanted to taste at and was near SolBar restaurant, which is a great restaurant by the way.
When we arrived, Scarlett brought us some wine and snacks and instantly made us feel at home. The house was very clean and had all the blankets and stuff you needed. Definitely not a place to go to if you want to watch movies and hang out by the pool. But, perfect if you want a relaxing, homey environment.
The breakfast was homemade by Scarlett and her son. We actually were there on mother’s day and her son came to visit her. Was super cute. There was french toast, sausages and fruit. Simple and tasty and was the perfect light breakfast to have before a day of wine tasting.
All of us girls enjoyed our stay with Scarlett and it was nice to be able to spend part of mother’s day with her.

Pros: Good prices, friendly hospitality, genuine, cozy, country feel. Trampoline, pool, hot tub, tree swing and fresh air. Satellite TV, tons of maps and local guides. Quiet and peaceful environment.
Cons: Small TV, older bed and sofa, breakfast was ok and location is hard to find if you have never been.
Overall: If you’re looking for a resort, flat screen TV, modern design and gourmet food, look elsewhere. If you’re on a budget and or are looking to get away from the everyday hustle and bustle and want to feel like you are visiting your grandparents, I would highly recommend Scarlett’s Country Inn.

All I can say is wow! I felt like I was coming home every evening. The owners are friendly & helpful. The place is very peaceful. Its not fancy, it’s just right! I could have stayed for a week. Thank you for a lovely time guys!

Love this place! I stayed in the Camilla Suite and it was completely comfy/​homey. Out in the country it was very peaceful and quiet with good smelling air and the crickets chirping. Everyone was very welcoming, (including the dogs :) It was fun to swing in the swing under the moonlight.
The breakfast was awesome! We woke up to the smell of really good coffee and breakfast food wafting in through our open window. We had breakfast in the dining room which was beautifully set with china and silver. Rebecca was the most gracious hostess you could imagine! It started with a beautiful presentation of fresh fruit, followed by the yummiest french toast ever with four kinds of syrup and chicken apple sausages. I would absolutely stay there again — what a wonderful place!

Scarlett’s is off the beaten path and that is one of the things we just loved about it — no city noise! We enjoying lounging by the pool reading and listening to the crickets when the sun went down. Scarlett was tragically killed earlier this summer and her children were running the Inn while we were there. The hospitality was A++++. We could not have asked for better hosts.
Our only complaints were the lack of A/​C in the Gamay suite (there is a window unit in the bedroom, but it was inefficient for the whole suite) and lack of signage on the road.

Just what I look for in a Bed and Breakfast. Great price, wonderful service, beautiful and central location. Such a cute place to stay. I highly recommend for others like me, who enjoy charm opposed to glamour.

Scarlette is great. The B&B was quaint, cozy and perfect! Nothing too fancy but felt so at home and private. Only negative was that breakfast wasn’t all that spectular…

Scarlett’s is not about fancy modern décor, upscale Ralph Lauren country accoutrements, or exquisitely manicured grounds. Scarlett’s is definitely more rustic than country chic, but it is utterly charming, the proprietors warm, and their dogs loveable and friendly. Staying here definitely feels like staying with close family or friends.
Scarlett’s is nestled back from the Silverado trail and accessed via a narrow, one-​car gravel road. There is no prominent signage from the road except for some a nice of red reflector lights above the house sign — useful when driving at night along the poorly-​lit Silverado.
There are only 3 sets of accommodations available — ranging from the smallest Arrowhead Room (and most inexpensive) to largest (Camellia Suite) a few steps away from the main house where breakfasts are served and the pool/​hot tub is accessed. As other folks have mentioned, breakfasts are delicious — French toast, chicken apple sausage, fresh-​squeezed OJ (lots of pulp!), coffee and fresh fruit on Day 1; poached eggs, bacon and warmed breads assortment with more fruit, coffee and juice on Day 2.
We reserved the Gamay suite in advance and were upgraded to the Camellia suite when we arrived — the Inn was not full that weekend, perhaps since it was still a bit off-​season. The Gamay and Camellia are attached as one structure and we were allowed to take a peek at both to make up our minds as to where we wanted to stay. The Camellia Suite is a full ground floor, and includes a large living room connected to a «wet bar» consisting of sink, dishwasher, microwave, and teeny tiny fridge which housed OJ, yogurt, vitamin waters; there was a bowl of fresh fruit on the kitchen table. The bedroom features a Queen-​sized bed and a darling window seat that was perfect for perching, reading & netbooking.
Derek showed us around since Scarlett (his mother) was away at a champion water-skiier’s convention. He very thoroughly showed us through the rooms we were to choose from, and when we finally settled on the Camelia, he went through the quirks specific to our home for 2 days…(heater in the LR tends to run warm; the fire is easily started in the old fashioned wood stove; free Wifi is available, but not great for downloading large files). He showed us how to operate the hot tub, and kept it warm/​on for us for the couple of days that we were there.
The property is surrounded by some beautiful woods that are great for a nice & easy rambling hike — the dogs are likely to join you and the littlest — Chewie — will probably stay with you the entire time.
So many thoughtful little details — the umbrellas by the door, the coffee maker and various creams and sugars; the extra linens and pillows in the large wardrobe, the umbrellas by the door (which were really helpful for the deluge on our last day there) etc.

Great B&B in between Calistoga and St. Helena on Silverado Trail. Scarlett was very accomodating and she made some fantastic breakfast food.
There are a total of 3 units that Scarlett rents out. We stayed 2 nights in the Arrowhead suite, which is detached from the main house and had a small patio area with a table. The other 2 units are also detached from the house, but share a wall.
Overall very good place that is nicely secluded from the main road, but only a quick 5 min drive to either St. Helena or Calistoga.

LOVED LOVED LOVED SCARLETTS! My husband and I had a perfect valentines day weekend, and Scarletts was the perfect place to stay. She was such a sweet hostess, and her dogs were adorable. We stayed in the Arrowhead room, with patio access through the back door. Scarlett had lots of recommendations for wineries in the area and her french toast was amazing! Highly recommend if staying in the area! It’s worth it!

This place was really as homey and welcoming as possible. We made last minute reservations and when we got there, since there wasn’t too many people staying there, they upgraded us to a larger suite. There was even a pool, hot tub and a trampoline to play with! The accommodations were great — nice beds, large living space, full cable, juices in the fridge and coffee and tea. The owners were even more charming — they were full of information on where we should go for massages and food as well a really pleasant conversation during our french toast, fresh fruit and sausage breakfast.
Overall a really pleasant stay! It’s not a fancy hotel but it has all the cozy comforts of home. Keep on the look out for teeny flocks of quail running around!

This place is an absolute treasure. I was so happy to find this hideaway this summer. It’s quiet and tranquil and only 10 minutes from Calistoga or St. Helena.
The owners are wonderful and the breakfasts were out of this world!!! I fell in love with the aviary of gorgeous, tiny yellow birds, too.
Highly recommend. .. the beds have foam pillows, but feathered pillows are available if you ask :)

It was nice to stay in a place off the main drag in Calistoga. We felt very nicely removed from the hustle of the spa scene and the stares of the locals.
The Inn is very charming in its rustic setting. We had a large suite detached from the main building with a rope swing in front. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. There is also a tiny little dog that will befriend you.
The only thing I didn’t like was that we had to eat breakfast with the other people staying at the Inn. I just wanted to have coffee and toast in grumpy seclusion with my wife.
