Don H. Aug 2, 2022 10:03:09 AM
Summary: This is a great little cottage for 3 couples visiting wine country. All three bedrooms, each with its own full bath, are nicely appointed and furnished, well stocked, with comfortable beds. The kitchen is small, but has everything you need to prepare any meal. It even is stocked with St. Helena s own coffee, which is very good. Walk a block down Main St. to Model Bakery, or to shop in the many upscale shops available. Sit out on the front porch and enjoy that bottle of wine you just discovered. Patrice, the innkeeper, is such a delight. We would definitely return.
