Meadowlark Country House & Resort

Meadowlark was a perfect base for exploring the food and wine of the valley. We loved the relaxed feel of the inn and the property. Kurt is a wonderful host and we appreciated the hospitality and space he provides his guests. Breakfast and coffee were top notch too!

A Hidden Gem in Calistoga – Meadow Lark Inn is Perfection! Meadow Lark Inn is an absolute treasure in the heart of Calistoga. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for our unforgettable stay. Kurt, the owner, is a truly unique and wonderful man—his stories are as captivating as they are heartwarming. Spending time with him felt like catching up with an old friend who also happens to know all the best secrets of the area. The rooms are a haven of comfort and luxury, designed with thoughtful details that make you feel pampered and relaxed. After long days exploring the nearby wineries, coming back to such an inviting space was a delight. The breakfast each morning was beyond amazing—fresh, delicious, and crafted with care. It was the perfect start to days spent wandering through nearby vineyards and enjoying Calistoga’s charming restaurants, all conveniently located within a short distance. The inn’s location is unbeatable—not only is it close to all the best spots in Calistoga, but it’s also nestled in a quaint, serene setting that includes the delightful company of beautiful horses. It’s a magical touch that adds to the charm of this incredible place. A special shoutout to Maria, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Her kindness and attention to detail truly elevated our experience. If you’re looking for a perfect getaway in wine country, Meadow Lark Inn is where you’ll find it. This place is more than just a stay—it’s an experience, and we can’t wait to return!

Beautiful bed and breakfast outside Calistoga in a perfect location for visiting Napa and Sonoma wineries. Kurt the owner is a charming gentleman who joins guests each morning for breakfast with Bentley the golden doodle. We stayed for 5 days and had a wonderful time. Each room is unique, highly recommend the Meadow House cottage.

My wife and I really enjoyed our 5 day stay at Meadowlark. It is a beautiful place out in the country surrounded by trees and flowers. The breakfasts were good. We enjoyed Kurt dining with us and telling stories about the Napa wineries. We really appreciate being able to swim in the clean pool without bathing suits. Also enjoyed feeding carrots to the horses. We look forward to our return visit.

My husband and I spent two nights, the spa pool is wonderful, and the grounds are luscious. The suite was booked, so we had to take a small, cramped room. The food at breakfast was good and made more enjoyable in conversation with the other guests.

European style hospitality. Feeling like being in Paradise with beautiful Rose gardens and many butterflies. Feeling of freedom and connection with nature. The water is so clean and temperature is excellent. |The owner has a very Friendly Dog who greats you with a smile and waving tail. I have no idea what the previous reviewer was talking about. The dog is very well behaved and just loved us. |The breakfast was delicious and beautiful also. We will definitely come back.

I wanted to take my husband and our dog to Calistoga for a weekend birthday getaway. We found Meadowlark and it was exactly what we were looking for! Beautiful property, peaceful, friendly atmosphere, close to town, big spacious rooms, gorgeous views, and a very relaxing experience were all exactly what we had in mind! Kurt is a wonderful host, and we highly recommend a stay at Meadowlark if you’re visiting Calistoga!

It’s a hidden gem in Calistoga, close to many good wineries and restaurants, while being off the busy main road. Resort ground has welcoming atmosphere packed with great views of the valley. It’s a perfect place for a retreat. The room was well appointed and the whirlpool two-person tub was an excellent bonus. Really enjoyed having great Egg Benedict breakfast with friendly host Kurt and other guests. Already thinking about returning here with other friends or family.

We returned to Meadowlark for our third vacation this past weekend. This time we brought a dozen friends with us and rented the pool house in addition to each couple's private room. Each room is beautifully appointed with jacuzzi tubs and plus robes. It was hot outside and the air conditioning was nice and cold for comfortable sleeping. The beds were so comfortable, everyone commented on their great sleep! The grounds are luscious and there was beautiful landscaping, flowers and peach trees bursting with fruit. There are three lovely horses that we enjoyed visiting and treating to carrots. The pool house was the perfect place for an intimate birthday celebration for our whole group. It's has plenty of lounge space, a private deck with umbrellas and a full kitchen for easy food prep. Two single guests stayed here in the two sleeping areas. The owner Kurt is always a lovely and attentive host and the property is even more special because of his wonderful presence. We plan to return with our friends next year.

Seriously had the best time here! The owners are an absolute DELIGHT and we immediately felt comfortable. We were able to bring our own bottle of wine and they had cups and towels supplied. There was only one other person that was clothing free when we got there and others who were clothed but we felt no hesitation getting comfortable and enjoying the clothing optional amenities. I love that we were able to leave for lunch and come back at our leisure. This is a place we will definitely be enjoying more in the future on beautiful summer days and for overnight stays.

My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed spending an afternoon with Kurt, poolside, with some other lovely couples. Who, by the way, also enjoyed the clothing optional atmosphere of Meadowlark Resort!!

What a treat this place is! Kurt was so kind, welcoming and funny, lol! I can't recommend this place and experience enough. Met some amazing folks while there, Maria the chef and housekeeper was amazing, the view was amazing, the room was cozy and you really do feel like you're either home or the home of a really good friend.

This is our third time visiting this amazing place! Meadowlark was my first experience with a clothing optional resort and I cannot say enough about how completely comfortable I was, sure it took a bit to get with the groove, but once you do, you will never want to put on a ill fitting suit again. Unfortunately, we met Richard only once prior to his passing. The last two times have just been Kurt and Marie. Kurt...what can I say, he's such a fun human being, with such a big heart. We've shared some wonder talks and laughs. We've stayed in 3 different rooms, all wonderful. Mornings are quiet and peaceful, such beauty. Days are delightful with all the wonderful people to meet, nighttime is lovely by the pool with a cool breeze and the hot tub option. We will frequent this place as long as humanly possible...nothing compares. Thank you Kurt for this amazing experience.

One of a kind experience! We stayed here as we were looking for a clothing-optional pool to help eliminate tan lines, as well as people are usually a lot more relaxed at places like this. Richard and Kurt were terrific hosts, and the property is beautiful. Situated just outside of Calistoga, you are close to many dining options and plenty of vineyards. The rooms a quaint and clean but a little on the pricy side. Breakfast with Richard and Kurt was delightful, and their story was priceless. We'll defiantly be back next time we are in the valley.

This is a wonderful getaway location. The property grounds and buildings are beautiful and well maintained. The location nestled in a wooded valley just 5-7 minutes from Calistoga is fantastic. The pool, hot tub and sauna facility is really the central jewel and feature of this place, which really enhances the BNB aspects of staying in rooms in classic homes and a high quality breakfast with great opportunities to socialize with the owners and other guests. The owners are very friendly and hospitable and they truly enjoy socializing with guests when welcomed. The clothing optional aspect of the pools is handled in a classy and respectful way that feels comfortable and easy.

Great service , pool spa and hot tub was fantastic ! It is a European style pool so if you don't mind being naked around others . I will be going back for sure

Went to Napa Valley on a girls trip and we picked Calistoga because it's not as much of a scene as Sonoma or Napa. We loved the area and we stayed at Meadowlark for the trip. Kurt and Richard are kind and caring hosts, and made us feel welcome. The whole place is a relaxing, peaceful retreat, and only a few minutes drive from downtown Calistoga. We'd highly recommend Meadowlark when staying in wine country. We enjoyed the pool every afternoon after visiting vineyards and before getting ready for dinner. We also loved visiting the horses on the property. Delicious sit-down breakfast every morning. Tip: if you booked in advance (like we did) and have special requests (which we did for dietary restrictions and additional linens for 3 of us in 1 room), send a nice reminder note to the property a day or two before arriving. We had made notes in our original online booking, but still needed to point out our requests after getting there. Staff were very quick to accommodate and everything was great for the rest of our stay. In hindsight, sending a quick note ahead of time would've helped make things a little smoother for everyone. They are a small operation, not like a huge hotel chain, so I'm happy to do my part as a guest. All in all, we loved staying at Meadowlark and would highly recommend!

We have visited Meadowlark for many years and this visit was no exception to the wonderful experience we always have. Kurt is an incredible host. The property is gorgeous and so peaceful. Always at the top of our list when staying in Calistoga.

Our first visit to this lovely place. We were the only guest since it was midweek. We had Veterans Day off so wanted to get away. Kurt was a very gracious host. He gave us a tour of everything, showed us a few rooms even though we booked the graden room. He then let us get an upgrade to a larger room in the main house for free. We ended up staying in room 1. The jacuzzi tub was divine and so was the warm bathroom floor. The bed was very comfortable and hubby enjoyed the large tv. We didn't use the outdoor hot tub or sauna but are thinking of coming back when it's warm again. We also got a great recommendation from Kurt on dinner location. We ended up going to solbar which had a great ambience and delicious food. After a relaxing night we woke up to an amazing breakfast of organic apple juice, granola and almond milk, peach green tea and made to order eggs. So yummy. During breakfast we spoke with Kurt to hear more about how he came to buy this place and turn it into a bed and breakfast. A fascinating story. All in all, a much needed break from the city and a wonderful stay. We aim to be back. Thanks Kurt for your hospitality.

I needed a long getaway to contemplate life and recharge myself, the Meadowlark Inn was amazing! Kurt , Richard and Bentley are wonderful hosts,, their peaceful energy helped me find my much needed quite self. The morning breakfast was a joy and soaking in the hot tub was heaven. Thanks Kurt, Richard and Bentley! Peace, Lauren

This past weekend we stayed two nights at the Meadowlark Country House to celebrate my wife's birthday and a recent work promotion. We needed a weekend of relaxation and quiet and the resort was everything we needed. From the moment we first arrived we felt at home in peace in the countryside of Calistoga and our room backed up to a beautiful hillside and forest. At night we could sit out on the large patio and see the stars and hear the owls. Each night we were there we spent time in the pool and jacuzzi and loved how beautiful the grounds around the pool area were. Our second day at the resort we spent the afternoon at the pool and ate a great dinner in town at a local restaurant. Our hosts, Kurt and Richard, who run the resort were at breakfast each morning and sat by the pool as well. We loved getting to know them and how they started the resort. And last, the breakfast each morning of fresh eggs, fruit and granola sourced locally was best in class. Thank you Kurt and Richard for a wonderful time. My wife and I will be back again soon.

amazing stay at this resort, the grounds are beautiful, the pool is epic and warm, the rooms are spacious, cozy beds and lovely furniture, big outside deck, delicious breakfast and more... we had a great time!

It wasn't what I expected. Not your average BNB! Clothing optional pool, eccentric European host it's like a trip to a liberal open atmosphere you've never been to before. Beautiful rooms, tranquility and relaxing atmosphere. A couple days here and local dining feels like an international vacation.

An amazing relaxing oasis. My wife and small dog had a fantastic time. Everyone was friendly and the grounds were beautiful. We fed the horses carrots and apples and that was fun. We missed the breakfast one day but it was gourmet when we had it the next day. The town is just a few minutes away. We will return to this paradise as soon as we can

I booked a weekend stay at the Mountain View room to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday weekend. We were there from Friday to Sunday. It was our first time to a place that has a clothing optional wellness area. While we were both down to try something "new", we were still a little worried that we might find it odd or if we will end up feeling shy. We arrived at 2:30pm (check in was 3pm), came to their reception area and did not find anyone in there but instead was left with a note with our name on it and instructions on how to get to our room and where to park. I was a bit worried that we might not find the right place but the instructions were very clear and to be honest, it felt like we were given a treasure map and it turned out to be really fun locating our room! Our room was really spacious and have a beautiful view of the barn and the horses and of course, the mountain! It was very peaceful and we enjoyed our very own large deck facing the beautiful view of nature. It was a 2-3 minute walk to the dining area where they serve the yummy and healthy complimentary breakfast and also to their wellness area where they have the mineral pool, sauna and hot tub. Kurt and Richard were such an amazing hosts! My boyfriend and I wish we could've stayed longer because we really had a good time talking to both of them during breakfast time. They treat their guests as family and they really made us feel welcomed. Their hospitality is unlike any other! I will definitely recommend this place to all our friends and I can't wait to come back again soon.

This place is simply amazing! From the covered bridge to the amazing soft bed sheets! It was wonderful. The pool is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places ever! The host are so sweet and accommodating! My wife is Vegan, and they even let her use their kitchen for her to make her own special breakfast! Do not hesitate to go here if you are ready to feel at peace, and refreshed! Will definitely be going back!!

5 stars to Kurt and Richard and Meadowlark. This is a rare find in the hospitality world. Personable, warm, funny and engaging hosts to a beautiful property, we would recommend this location to anyone. Thank you for the fantastic breakfast, the spacious rooms and advice on food and wineries. We will come back.. thank you! Steve and Becky Washler

Beautiful country home to come back to after a long day of wine tasting in the Napa region. If you are looking for someone named Chip from the City to check you in and jump when you snap your fingers then please do not stay here. However if you want the owners to personally escort you to your room, personally make your Breakfast, join you for breakfast, and strike up a conversation that will leave you as friends forever, well this is the spot. Enjoying the pool, hot tub and sauna combined with "like minded" adults early in the morning and evening is fantastic, creating a safe and relaxing retreat at the end of the day.

I see why this place is 5 stars! Meadowlark and the owners are exceptional and my husband and I loved this place! We stayed in the garden room which was very clean and big! The bathroom has a spa set bath tub and the bed is comfy. There's a nice small outside area with lounge chairs and a table. The grounds are really cool. You have a clothing optional pool which is nice. It's mineral water I guess so it's naturally always a certain temperature. We initially went in our swim suits but later that night we did a night swim and went bare bones! It was so freeing I must say! You can also walk around the property they have tons of horses they were really sweet. The breakfast was amazing! Fresh eggs from the chickens in the back, one of the owners made us eggs Benedict it was to die for! Fresh herbs and the hollandaise was spot on. We will definitely be back! It's also just 5 minute drive from Calistoga downtown. Thank you for a great stay!

We had a wonderful experience at Meadowlark. Richard and Kurt are warm and inviting hosts, and they truly made us feel welcomed and special. The property is simply beautiful. We stayed in the pond room and I was a little worried that we wouldn't be able to use our patio for fear of mosquitos -- not a problem at all! We were able to enjoy the private patio well into the evening. They served a delicious eggs Benedict on the veranda. My husband said it was the best breakfast he ever had at a B&B. We will definitely come back again!

I can't really add more to what has been said about this place already. It is simply the best place to stay in the entire Napa/Sonoma wine country. Gorgeous grounds, rooms and clothing optional pool area. The hosts Kurt and Richard are welcoming and fabulous!

My wife and I recently returned from another wonderful stay at the Meadowlark Country House. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Calistoga, the Meadowlark is the place to unwind and relax. We stayed in the pool house, which was both very spacious and very comfortable. After morning strolls through town and visits to wineries each day, we were happy to return to the Meadowlark. We spent most of our time at the clothing-optional pool, swimming, reading, conversing, and relaxing. Whether your preference is sun or shade, the pool area offers many options and plenty of space. The pool area sits against a backdrop of the Calistoga hills, with beautiful views of oak trees and redwoods. Kurt and Richard were gracious hosts, striking the right balance between warm conversation and respect of privacy. Our dinners in town were wonderful, thanks to Kurt's recommendations. Maria made a delicious breakfast for us each morning, which we enjoyed on the covered porch of the main house, . If you're traveling to Calistoga then the Meadowlark is an experience not to be missed. We have been fortunate to enjoy many getaways at locations throughout the greater Bay Area and the Meadowlark is definitely at the top of our list!

I had a wonderful birthday weekend there. It was as beautiful as ever. Kurt and Richard are excellent hosts and so much fun. The pool was the perfect temperature for a quick cool off. Loved it. Thanks again.

Meadowlark Country House, is as close to perfection as anyplace I have stayed, anywhere in the world. Richard and Kurt have created a little piece of heaven, tucked into a heavily wooded canyon hillside that is only a short distance off highway 29 and minutes to downtown Calistoga. This beautiful property is accessed via a covered bridge over a bubbling creek, passing the pool complex to the series of residences that make up Meadowlark. The main house, with its wrap around deck, is lovingly decorated with sophistication and charm that provides five of the ten suites located on the property. Suites 4 upstairs and 5 located downstairs, both have gas fireplaces that make the cool Napa Valley nights exceedingly pleasant. Views from all over the property and many of the rooms are stunning; the pool complex overlooks views both out toward the mountains and up canyon. The huge pool, large Jacuzzi and dry sauna are very private and peaceful allowing even first timers to the clothing optional bathing experience a sense of comfort and assurance. Each morning you get to experience not only a wonderful breakfast, the lemon infused Eggs Benedict is amazing, but even more so the lively conversation of your host Richard and Kurt. Richard whose kindness is only matched by his refined intelligence works so hard to make your stay a special experience, and Kurt the charming and dynamic German Renaissance man of the world whose stories will enthrall and entertain you long after you should have left the breakfast table to get a start on wine tasting, are an integral part of what makes this a world class experience, one so rare outside of Europe. Most of the suites and room are in the $220-$285 range, a steal for what you get.

My wife and I had a great holiday weekend here. Property is fantastic, rooms are super, meals are great. Location is very nice, easy into Calistoga. We biked a bit from there and easy to get to several winerys. We would stay here again without question.

I can't say enough great things about this place! While I didn't have the luxury of staying here, for my birthday some friends and I got day passes to the mineral pool & spa area! As some have mentioned already it is clothing optional which I highly recommend going for, everyone was so friendly and welcoming! The pool was a PERFECT temperature and clean, yay for no chlorine! You also have access to the hot tub and sauna. The owners are very sweet and gave this experience a personal touch that seems rare to find nowadays!! I will definitely be coming here to stay sometime even though I only live 30 min away! * they don't sell alcohol on site but do let you bring in your own, as long as it's in plastic cups!!

We found paradise on our weekend escape. The visit was too short on time yet I left Meadowlark with a peaceful & joyful heart. Richard and Kurt are genuinely invested making you feel at home. The property is amazingly beautiful. No traffic buzzing by, just the sounds of the birds, horses and laughter of the guests. Whom all felt like family and friends by the time we left. We are looking forward to returning soon although I doubt we will find as much fun without the group we had connected with.

The most WONDERFUL experience. My wife and I love everything about Meadowlark. The owners are gracious, very friendly and great conversationalists - be it over a delicious breakfast, a glass of wine, or relaxing by the clothing optional pool (highly recommended if you have never sunbathed nude). Enjoy a relaxing massage or just relax with a great book (there's a collection of vintage first editions in the Inn.). The grounds are perfect, the food is perfect, the friends are perfect. We'll be back soon!!!!!!!!

Bullet points: * Liberal, gorgeous getaway * Five stars for great room and wonderful hosts What a find. Kurt and Richard have an absolutely incredible B&B, and they are wonderful hosts. The rooms are elegant and comfortable. Ours had a canopy bed with luxurious bedding, a private patio, and spacious jacuzzi tub. Breakfast was delicious - Richard whipped up a mushroom and herb omelet, accompanied by fresh fruit, coffee, and juice - but the best part of breakfast was the wonderful conversation we had with our hosts! The surrounding land is lush and green - from the French doors in our room you were greeted by wonderful views of the landscape. Meadowlark also has a large pool area, with hot tub, for relaxing or sunning. It's clothing optional, so you can bask in the sun au naturel if you want. Their website says they are hetero, gay, and naturist friendly. I like that - it keeps out the conservative, uptight riff-raff. If you don't have an open mind, go somewhere else! A great getaway spot, close to wineries and amazing restaurants!

This a gem of a place. Richard and Kurt are fantastic hosts, really welcoming you as part of the family. Meadowlark is all about relaxation - from Richard's great breakfast, real sounds and sights of the farm to the wonderful pool, hot tub and sauna. Great place, great host and cant wait to be back

THIS PLACE IS A TOTAL GEM!!!! It's quiet, tucked away & the grounds are GORGEOUS, the gentlemen who run this do so with genuine care for their clients experience. The breakfast was gourmet & made of fresh ingredients grown right there organically on the property. Every room is a suite, a big beautiful, elegant, homey suit. They even leave a little candy dish in each room with bite size treats, complementary for those sometimes nighttime chocolate cravings. The tubs are big jacuzzi tubs that could comfortably fit two people. They have the bathrooms filled with great quality products. Minutes from the vineyards, minutes from luxurious authentic volcanic mud baths. This experience with be nearly impossible to top... Honestly, there isn't a single detail they missed that could have made this better. It's pure zen perfection, with a homey touch & ran with heart.

The place to go for total relaxation. Came to Calistoga for my birthday. After enjoying wine tasting decided yesterday for a nice massage. Came across Meadowlark Country House in a search. Though looking for a clothing optional may not be a regular search. My hosts of Richard and Kurt made it a throughly enjoyable time. After an intense and so relaxing massage from Kurt and followed by time in their spa chatting with Richard I left in a truly blessed state. This is a place I would have no problem coming back to or recommending to a dear friend.

A wonderful place to stay if you are in the Napa/Sonoma region! The pool are was relaxing, the rooms were spacious and clean, and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. Kurt and Richard are great hosts and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Although we couldn't stay for breakfast, the eggs benedict looked and smelled delicious. We will be back!

We wanted to go to Napa for our 10th wedding anniversary. I picked this place based on reviews and pictures of the rooms and the grounds. Our stay was amazing. We did not want to leave. We spent time lounging in the pool area, and using the sauna and Jacuzzi. Im not very big on using shared facilities in general because i feel like the water is full of chlorine and germs. The pool, and jacuzzi at this resort have hot spring water. Its lovely and clean and they use much better water purification method instead of bleach. The owners are extremely nice and welcoming. In the morning we all had amazing breakfast together, and lovely conversation and great atmosphere. I will definitely come back here next time Im in Napa

My boyfriend and I just returned from a wonderful weekend at Meadowlark and will never again stay anywhere else in Calistoga... This 20 acre paradise is only 5 minutes from town but feels worlds away. Richard and Kurt are charming and gracious hosts and take great care of their guests, and Richard's breakfasts are lovely: one morning he made delicious mushroom omelets and the next fantastic eggs benedict with a bright hollandaise sauce, each made with freshly laid eggs from the free range hens that roam the property. The suite was beautiful and romantic, overlooking the garden and the mountainside, and the (clothing optional) pool, sauna and jacuzzi area was stunning. Before we left we booked another visit......

My husband, dog and I literally just walked in our door from our week long vacation at Meadowlark Inn in Calistoga, CA. We can't say enough great things about the Meadowlark and our wonderful hosts, Kurt and Richard. Every morning we wake up to an amazing gourmet breakfast complete with fresh squeezed apple cider, piping hot coffee, delicious granola and fruit. Kurt and Richard join their guests each morning and partake in lively and interesting conversations with all the guests. All the guests get to have breakfast together and we have met the most interesting, friendly people. Everyone shares ideas of how to enjoy your day in the Napa Valley ... we spent our time visiting amazing wineries and strolling through Calistoga, downtown Napa and St. Helena. We are especially grateful to our hosts for allowing our well-behaved dog to join us at the Meadowlark. Our room was a beautiful suite, overlooking the lush hillside and the Inn's well-maintained vegetable garden. There is a wonderful pool and spa - the pool isn't heated in the winter, but the hot mineral spa was so relaxing! This was our second trip to Meadowlark Inn, and we can't wait to go back again! Thank you Kurt and Richard for making our vacation so special. We can't wait to see you again! Stacy, Gordon and Ozzy

My husband and I came across this wonderful property recently. We live only about 30 minutes away and needed a night away so we decided to check this place out. To say it exceeded our expectations is an understatement!! The grounds are spectacular, it's extremely relaxing in every possible way, the owners (Kurt and Richard) are marvelous people and the breakfast in the morning is to die for!!! We will be going back to enjoy the relaxation of the pool even just for a day pass. We love how Kurt and Richard are so welcoming and friendly!

One of my favorite places ever. I've been here a few times, and always daydream about the next time I get to come up here. I will agree with all of the other reviewers who have said that Richard and Kurt are amazing hosts. I've stayed in three different rooms, and I loved them all. I especially love that they are so dog-friendly, and the rooms are all very well decorated. Skipping breakfast would be a crime, as both the food and conversation are essential to enjoying the visit. The grounds are lovely for walking around, and the pool/tub/sauna area is great for relaxing. It is clothing optional, so if that might bother you then this place might not be your cup of tea. But you'd certainly be missing out on a beautiful and leisurely stay with amazing people :)

This place is a total gem, and I fear yelping about it will make the spot impossible to get into, but they deserve it! I stumbled on this with my fiancee this past weekend and I feel like I won the lottery in discovering it. The property is an amazing sanctuary to relax in, and chill out for a nice weekend. The rooms are super comfortable, cozy, and built with great quality and detail. We met many wonderful people and if I was looking for a nice place to not mingle with others it would have been perfectly suitable as well. When you go to breakfast, remember that I am saying this now - perfect. I cannot thank the guys enough for such a wonderful time.

God it's beautiful in Calistoga... and nothing is better than lying by the pool at Meadowlark on a nice summer day... as long as you don't mind a little nudity (more about that later). Meadowlark is a B&B with a series of "cottages" with very nicely appointed rooms mine had a private patio. Meadowlark is incredibly quiet and peaceful but you are only a stone's throw from Calistoga, St. Helena, etc. The nicest room is the suite directly off of the swimming pool and jacuzzi. At night it is basically like they are your and yours alone... very romantic. I came here twice. The first time when I saw a concert at a vineyard in Napa and the second time for my friend's wedding. Both times we loved it. The only caveat to mention about Meadowlark is that the pool is clothing optional and you will most likely be sharing your time there with Kurt and Richard (two lovely men who own the place). Personally I think they give the place its unique character but I know some of the wedding party were unprepared for the full body sunburns they saw. At any rate... Meadowlark is a perfect spot to stay for a romantic getaway weekend in wine country and when I head back that way again it will be at the top of my list. p.s. I didn't eat the breakfast but I heard its fantabulous.

To start, this review is about a year in the making. Yes, it's taken me that long to do this, but the good news is that the experience has stuck with me for this long that I know I can still recall every detail. This was my first B&B experience. I'm more of a full service hotel kind of a girl, but a couple friends of mine convinced me that this would be a really nice retreat for a romantic weekend away - they were right. First, we arrived well into the evening, which meant that there was no one to greet us when we arrived. Plus, note to self, it's REALLY dark when driving to Calistoga at nighttime. The B&B isn't super well marked, but we managed to find it in the pitch black of the night. But back to our arrival....we found an envelope on the door addressed to us and a really nice note saying that we've been upgraded to the room right off of the entryway. I thought that this would mean we'd hear people going up and down the stairs in the morning, but either they weren't very full, or everyone was extremely aware of the other guests that they kept quiet. Either way, there were no disturbances. The room we were given was very cozy with a fireplace and jacuzzi tub. In the morning we awoke to the happy sounds of people chatting away. Now, we're not morning/breakfast kind of people, but if you're at a place where part of their name is "breakfast", you better make an effort to go eat. So we joined the rest of the guests and thoroughly enjoyed the eggs benedict created by Richard. It had a lovely orange hollandaise with orange zest on it. A little too much citrus for me, but a very nice change of pace from the norm. This is when we met Kurt and Richard. Both are very lovely people that were eager to help. Kurt, especially, made very sure that you knew that he had connections at certain places and not to go to others. We had already made our dinner reservations, so we didn't need his recommendations, but if you come without a plan in place, Kurt is more than happy to help. The grounds themselves were well kept, including the dry sauna and pool area. The gravel driveway is a little precarious when it's been raining and you're walking in the dark, but just make sure you're not wearing stiletos and you'll be fine. I'm not a full convert to the world of B&Bs, but this place definitely puts a different light on it. I recommend this place as a starter B&B so that you know what to measure every other one up to.

It is with hesitation that I give this place 5 stars, not because they don't deserve it, but because I don't want this gem of a place to be known about by others :) Me and my fiancee were looking for a weekend getaway and came across the Meadowlark's reviews. Like others have said, the reviews do not do this place justice. We had such a nice, quiet, relaxing stay. The grounds are beautiful, so great for a morning walk. The location is great, close to plenty of wineries and the downtown area. We brought our crazy 6 month old lab puppy, and the owners not only welcomed her in their beautiful house, but also let their little doggy play with ours so she could get all of her energy out :) In summary, great accommodations, amazing freshly cooked breakfast, fabulous owners, and overall can't wait to go back!

You simply won't do better than to stay at Meadowlark Country House and Resort when you are in Napa Valley. Kurt and Richard are the consummate hosts: Gracious, friendly and welcoming. My husband and I just celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary with 3 glorious days at Meadowlark, and I can't recommend this place enough. Natural beauty: Mountains, rolling hills, horses, spa, flowers, garden spots--this accommodation has it all. Food: Outstanding! Richard and Maria cook up fresh, to-die-for homemade breakfasts every morning. Amenities: Everything you could want or need. Books, wonderful-smelling soaps, plenty of towels, sauna, hot tub, plush furniture. I could have stayed for months! Atmosphere: Relaxed and welcoming. We ate breakfast daily with both Richard and Kurt, as well as the other guests. Each meal was accompanied by thoughtful, intelligent conversation. That being said, if you want a more private morning, that, too, is available. The hosts are thoughtful and obliging to all personalities. Major draw: Kurt and Richard. We arrived as guests and left as friends. I have never stayed anywhere where I have felt more welcome. Both gentlemen are open, astute and accommodating--they will advise and/or engage with you, if you'd like, but also allow for guests to explore independently, if that's your preference. My husband and I engaged, and I am so grateful that we did. I came away feeling genuinely well-cared for and satisfied. Book your next vacation at Meadowlark! You'll be so glad you did.

This property is spectacular. Very well manicured, tasteful, peaceful and within a short bike ride (or cab ride) to downtown Calistoga. The mountain view room was perfect, with a huge balcony overlooking the horses, chickens, fish pond and abundant flowers/foliage. The mineral spa and pool were terrific..but ladies beware, the sulfur takes off your nail polish! :) The plated breakfasts were divine - and its fun to have them served while you dine with your neighbors. This is a welcoming, affordable B&B in one of the Valley's best towns.

We had a lovely time at this bed and breakfast. When you stay here it really feels like you are staying at a friend's home. There is no check in/ check out times. In fact, there's no desk or anything to check in at. You arrive and there will be a note on the door with your name on it. Come and go as you please - the inn is just for guests; there is another home on the property where the owners stay. We stayed in room #4. It was definitely spacious, and we had a wrap around porch all to ourselves. The porch was great in the morning when we put on our robes and brought books outside to read while watching the sun peer down on the mountains just before breakfast. Also, the jacuzzi tub is huge! We bought some bubble bath in town at a local soap shop and some bubbly, got some dessert to go, and enjoyed it properly. The breakfast was also very good, and the company was warm and welcoming. The owners are very respectful of guests privacy, but also have a lot of great stories to share if you open to good conversation. The only issues I had were: 1) the mattress was a bit stiff for my taste. and 2) we had to sleep with the TV on b/c the person next to us/below us was snoring so loud that it was keep us awake. Snoring is my #1 pet peeve, and having to hear someone snore all night was very unfortunate. Other than that, our stay was lovely. Certainly recommended for people who want a quaint stay up in Napa without the prices or corporate feeling as some of the other lodgings in Napa. Definitely good for a couples evening.

This is a hidden gem not to be missed. The beautiful setting, proximity to Calistoga and the charming hosts are not to be missed.

I booked a stay here to celebrate my 50th birthday with two longtime best friends, and could not have chosen a better spot for our get-a-way! The owners have been over the top fabulous with information of where to eat, hike, explore. Every question we have asked has been graciously answered without hesitation. We are treated like good friends, though we have only met the owners, Kurt and Richard yesterday. The grounds are gorgeous and impeccable. The breakfast was delicious, healthy and beautifully served. I even made several special requests for food which were graciously accommodated. This is a spot I will return to over and over. I can't wait to introduce it to my husband.
