Notes from the host
Calistoga Creek Side Mountain
Experience the secluded luxury of our expansive mountain estate nestled in the eastern hills between Calistoga and Middletown. Despite its remote feel, you're just minutes away from the vibrant restaurants and rejuvenating spas of Calistoga, or the convenience of Middletown's grocery stores.
The main house boasts a sprawling open kitchen and dining area equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, a cozy family room with a wood-burning fireplace, and five spacious bedrooms. Throughout the house, you'll find tasteful Ralph Lauren Home furnishings that evoke a sense of luxurious yet inviting mountain retreat.
Designed by the owner and renowned architect Mark Appleton, the guest cottage offers a king-sized bed and exudes the charm of the English countryside with its Cotswalds-inspired design. Crafted from timbers and stone sourced from the property itself, the cottage features Venetian plaster walls, solid walnut floors, and elegant bathroom fixtures from Waterworks.
Venture out onto the sprawling grounds to explore hiking trails winding up the hill behind the structures, or bask in the sunshine on the summer beach along the creek that meanders through the property. For indoor entertainment, retreat to the "Bunk Barn," a designer game room equipped with a high-definition surround system, an 85-inch home theater, and a pool table, offering direct access to the pool area.
NEED MORE SPACE?
Mayastoga also owns and/or operates additional luxury homes in the same area and throughout Napa and Sonoma Counties.
NEED HELP PLANNING YOUR STAY?
Mayastoga offers our guests Wine Country Concierge services for a small fee per day of your stay. Your concierge will plan and manage all aspects of your visit to our distinctive property in California’s northern Wine Country. Itineraries can include boutique and hard-to-access wineries, local restaurant reservations and transportation, as well as special touches that make for a truly memorable adventure. In addition to your tasting days, arrangements can include evenings in the comfort of your luxury residence with a private chef, a guest winemaker, or a cheese tasting and pairing with an internationally recognized food and wine expert (or all of the above!). Of course, there are numerous activities in addition to wine and culinary plans that are regularly arranged for our clients that include unique local attractions and activities (including our “Kids Country” itineraries).

There are many options for travel insurance and Mayastoga Property Group has arranged for our guests to purchase travel insurance through RentalGuardian, one of the leading companies offering this product. Standard travel insurance costs only 7% of your total invoice and CFAR (Cancel For Any Reason) travel insurance costs just 9.8%. You will be offered the opportunity to add this insurance to your reservation at check-out.
