The Calistoga Creek Side Mountain Estate is a beautiful property offering many opportunities to explore nature, relax inside and out, and experience the local town of Calistoga. Set on 39 acres with a stream running throughout, the property boasts several outside eating/sitting areas and a large grassy space where guests can play croquet, badminton, etc. The kitchen is generously appointed with small appliances, dinnerware, and everything else needed to cook for a large group.
The main house's interior is spacious and comfortable, and my family agreed the beds and linens were some of the most luxurious we've ever experienced. The huge bunkhouse is a fun, interestingly designed space with a big-screen TV, pool table, and arcade-type games. The quaint cottage offers a lovely living space and provides an extra place for solitude if needed.
We did encounter a few things that didn't work properly and caused some inconvenience. However, the owner and property manager were very communicative and responsive to our concerns and questions, and they diligently tried to fix the issues as best they could. Unfortunately, some were not fixable during our stay.
The Mountain Estate is a perfect "get there and stay there" vacation property. As heading north on Hwy 29 from Calistoga is quite winding, I recommend having all meals in-house and allowing enough time to experience the property's full potential.
