Washington Street Lodging

Just what we wanted (and despaired of finding). Quaint little cottages off the street with a large shared deck under ancient oaks. Very good value too, at least mid-​week in late March. Great find.

This is the cutest place the owners are very nice ! I don’t wanna leave here. We have cottage #4 the only one with a private balcony. Owners are very pleasant. This place is a steal!

We needed a break this weekend (4^th of July) and started looking for places in Calistoga… no luck. Everything was booked or too expensive… we ended up getting a comfort inn in Santa Rosa and as we were checking in a gang fight broke out in the lobby! We left, got a refund and went into Calistoga. After calling ten places, Washington Street Lodging came thru with an awesome cottage that is pet friendly and close to everything. They could easily charge more but they are such good people, reasonable, we will always go back. $ 205 for the night. Peaceful, tranquil place.

So far so awesome! :). We pulled up not knowin what to expect but this place is really cute. For a guy like me to say «cute» definitely means it’s cute. Haha. It’s fun! It’s a small quaint family owned cottage type B&B. there are about 4 – 6 cottages. Ours is such a cool little spot. It’s a little small but that’s what makes it fun. Small little kitchen with a sink, small fridge, table with Two chairs…
The bed is a good size and is actually comfy! There is a small open closet as well as a bathroom with shower and sink. Well decorated with such a homie personalized touch. Really nice. I like it a lot.
The last cool thing is that we have our own cottage balcony that overlooks a creek. The sound of creek flowing water is nice and soothing too.
The last best part about this is that it is pet friendly. My gf loves to bring her little yorkie and the poop loved it. :).
This may just be our new Calistoga getaway. No question.
Enjoy.

My go-​to lodging option everytime I am in Napa Valley. You will not find a better deal anywhere else.
It is not the most modern or updated cottage, but you get what you pay for and you are a short walk into downtown Calistoga.
The cottages are cute and come with kitchens. Stop at Cal-​mart in town to pick up some breakfast items and snacks that you can whip up in your space.
The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms work just fine. Stay in cottage one or two if you have friends since it has more space. For romance, we love Cottage 4 it is so cute and nice.

Slim pickings when it come to lodging in Calistoga– and pricccccey! $ 250 for the Comfort Inn– UM, I’M GOOD.
In town for a wedding, I had to find enough space for myself and 8 friends. Needless to say these cottages were perfect. Big enough for 2 or 3 persons. A full kitchen which came in handy for breakfast each morning. And they all share a common patio; great for lounging well into the night.
We booked each cottage with the exception of Cottage 4. Each one had their quirks, but it’s the charm one would expect. Bathroom windows could have used better drapes, lol.
Booking rates are unbelievably reasonable. In addition management is very accommodating. First, we got permission to use the whole patio for a little group dinner; so long as we were not too loud. Second, I lost my wallet which included the credit card used for booking. After explaining my situation I was able to forward my new credit card information the day after we checked out. Noise wasn’t a factor as some mentioned seeing that school was not in session.
Being in Calistoga it is a ways from the typical sights (to put it in perspective, it’s a $ 100 cab ride to Yountville) but a great place to keep in mind for the future.

I am sorry i did not read the reviews on cabin 4.
we stayed one night in cabin 4 and the experience was like camping in a tent except a tent has more room.
all the rooms were small and the only seating were two little café chairs in the kitchenette and no chairs in the main room.
Best part was the deck but the chairs were unconfortable and the kids across in the school playground did not go home until 7pm so we had lots of screaming and yelling and did not experience much peace and quiet in the afternoon.
The bed was ok but the pillows were terrible. too soft and stuffed with feathers I think as I was sneezing from the feathers.
When I went and spoke to the man running the place several times it seemed he was annoyed in having to answer any questions or give any help. He lives in a separate cabin and because of that he is not very available or there is no lobby to wait in after checkout.
One of my comments was on the wifi reception and he said it should be just fine in the cabin but that was not true. I had to keep reactivating it or connecting to another wifi network to get reception. Even if he said it worked fine I can attest it did not work consistently in the bedroom, kitchenette or deck and keep in mind this is a very small cabin.
I have no reason to recommend this place and would suggest one of the resorts or the chain hotel a few blocks from downtown.

This place was a great find in the Napa valley for a relatively inexpensive and relaxing stay. My fiancée and I wanted a clean, simple place to relax after a day of sightseeing and wine tasting. For that, this is perfect. The owners are very laid back and easy to work with, as well.
Positives:
We stayed in cottage #4. It is not large but was big enough for the two of us for a four day stay. The bed was comfortable. The cottage has a great patio on the back overlooking a creek that runs behind the property. The front door opens to a little deck shared with the other 4 cottages. We spoke to a few other visitors who were repeat customers and very complimentary of the place as well. The location is within easy walking distance of downtown Calistoga.
We also found that staying in Calistoga was wonderful. The town is quaint and it is perfectly located for easy access to the Napa wineries to the south and the northern Sonoma wineries to the West and Northwest. And I prefer the rocky hills around Calistoga to the rolling hills further south.
Negatives:
If you are looking for luxury, this is not your place. The bathroom is very small with only a tiny shower. There is an elementary school on the other side of the creek. You don’t need to set an alarm to wake up for sightseeing on a school day. The kids on the playground will make sure you are awake.
If you want to cook your own meals, this would not be perfect for you either. Although it has a stove top and a microwave, it would be hard to prepare a large meal here. The kitchen is tiny, poorly stocked with cookware, has a mini-​fridge, and only two person table. Go get dinner in downtown Calistoga, and use the fridge and microwave for your leftovers.
My wi-​fi connection was very weak.
One final tip:
There is an Orthodox convent next door to Washington Street Lodging. A local recommended that we walk through the grounds. We did. It was very pretty, overlooking the same creek that runs behind the property. One of the nuns approached us, showed us the chapel, and invited us to attend mass. It was a very pleasant experience.

What a pleasant surprise! I didn’t know what to expect by the name of the establishment. Cure little nicely decorated
80+ year old cottages arranged around a patio area. Upon checkin, Joan, the owner, greeted us and gladly showed us our abode’s amenities. Very affordable and I am sure I will regret writing this review as advance bookings may become more difficult! Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed in unit 4 (back in January 2012). It had a cozy interior with a lovely balcony facing the water with table and chairs. We drank wine & relaxed. The kitchen is small but it has a fridge, sink, and nook with table and chairs to nibble some breakfast. There is cable TV available. The bed was pretty nice. The cabins are separate from each other, and if there was anyone else in the other cabins we didn’t hear them. The quiet was wonderful and we were able to listen to the sounds of the night an not cars or people talking. Overall this unit had that somewhat rustic charm to it that’s very appealing for when you want to let your cares drift away. The hot water was great, though there could have been more water pressure. Out in front is sort of a common patio area with tables and seating that is well-​kept. The parking is very tight, but the shops and boutiques are in walking distance which was wonderful. It’s perfect if you want something off the main street away from the noise. The lady renting the spots was pleasant. quirky, but very nice and accommodating. We’d definitely consider coming back again for our next trip!

we stayed here for two night last week. we were in cottage #3 and it was divine. we arrived a little late and the owners were very accommodating. everything was clean and well maintained and it was good value. extra point for being dog-​friendly.

My husband and I heard about this place from a book that said that they were dog-​friendly. We were planning a last-​minute Valentine’s day weekend (the weekend before Valentine’s day) and didn’t want to leave our «fur baby» behind. :)
We were able to easily book cottage 4 over the phone. However, as it was raining when we arrived, we opted for cottage 5 instead, as we felt we’d prefer to use the sitting room in cottage 5 rather than use cottage 4’s outdoor deck. Cottage 5 also was a lot nicer in person than it appeared on the website.
The view out of the sitting room includes the picturesque river, as well as a school playground. From some angles you don’t even notice the school, and as it was the weekend, school was not in session. Also in the sitting room is a television, a rocking chair, a quilt, and a loveseat. We spent the evening there relaxing after a day of fun.
The bed was impeccably clean and oh so soft and luxurious. I like high quality bed linens, and I was quite impressed with theirs. In the bedroom there is a bookshelf complete with board games and books.
The kitchen was stocked with some very basic utensils and dishes – handy for when you want to open up a bottle of wine, or finish up your leftovers. In the fridge there is ground coffee in the fridge from a local roaster. Also available are several flavors of (I think it was Stash brand) tea.
Overall, we were happy that our cottage was clean, comfortable, charming, easy walking distance to downtown, and above all dog-​friendly. It’s entirely possible that we would stay again.

My ideal lodging:
* Quiet rooms so I don’t hear late night partying or annoying traffic
* Windows I can open for some fresh air while retaining privacy
* Showers with never-​ending hot water and good pressure
* Beds that don’t feel like you need to tie yourself to the side to avoid sinking to the middle, a la The Mertzes
* When with a group, some kind of gathering area is nice
* Décor that is NOT precious or stuffy
* Walking distance from food
I have simple needs, don’t you think? And, jackpot, WSL hit all my ideals. This place isn’t perfect, but it’s pretty much perfect for me. Stayed in #5 and, yes the floors slant a little, and yes the shower is a bit small. But, there was a jar full of great fresh ground coffee from Calistoga Roastery, and the beds were very comfortable with good sheets and two pillows each. I’m so pleased with this place that I won’t even remove a half star for having to see a tv in the sitting room.
But, please Unilocalers, don’t go there in droves or I’ll hate myself for this posting when I hear «sorry, we’re booked» the next 100 times I plan on going back…

Quaint and inexpensive lodging close to the wine country. I stayed here with my sister prior to her wedding and it was the perfect choice. The cottage rooms are clean, bright, and decorated in a style that is pleasant, but not overly cute. There is room for more embellishment, but the strong point of the place is the appreciation of simplicity. Big Fluffy pillows, bright dishware in the kitchen. $ 95 on the weekdays, $ 150 on the weekends. A small tv is provided in the rooms, and there is no breakfast.
