You are a gem in the world that only comes along once. This cottage reflects you! Denise" - Denise, Novato, CA, 01/14/07

"Lana,Thank you so much! What a perfect little spot for our honeymoon. It was so private and quaint and very nice to retreat to after our first week in lovely San Francisco. We loved being able to stay in and cook some of our meals. The cottage was spotless! So clean and comforting! The deck was a wonderful spot to come home to after wine touring and just sit back with a glass of wine and relax. We loved it and have recommended it to so many people already. You really have thought of everything from picnic basket and blanket to candles to frying pans and cooking ware! Really a gorgeous little getaway in the heart of Napa! We hope to return someday and highly recommend it to everyone! Thank you again Lana! Cheers! Sincerely, Jennifer and Matt Loney" - Jennifer and Matt Loney, St.Catharines Ontario Canada, 11/07/06

"We stayed at this lovely cottage for three nights on Columbus Day weekend - I feel lucky to have come upon this spot. The cottage was more comfortable than a hotel room, and better equipped as well. It is so thoughtful to have coffee, filters, nice shampoo and other amenities available. The outside deck is fantastic - we spent plenty of time there in the morning drinking coffee in the refreshing Napa air. I recommend this centrally located spot wholeheartedly and will definitely stay again. Thanks for your hospitality Lana!" - Jean Lavin, 11/07/05

"Cozy and comfortable, a sweet cottage. Nice and quiet and great surroundings. Innkeeper was very accommodating." - Anonymous, 07/13/05

"If you are staying in the Valley, this delightful little cottage is the best value for privacy, convenience, sun (great deck) and proximity to the rest of Napa Valley's treasures. I just completed a four day stay and experienced all these things - and more.Lana is the owner and this is her business - not a hobby; she has created a gem of a place. She is totally attentive to her guests' needs, while respecting their privacy. It is fully furnished with dishes, kitchen utensils, etc. so one can cook a meal, accompanied by a great bottle of Napa Valley wine, and eat out on the deck. And the bed (it is a Murphy bed that drops down from the wall,) is SUPER comfortable. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Hope you can experience the same. Enjoy!" - Anonymou, 07/08/05
