This charming Victorian Country Cottage bed and breakfast, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built in the 1860s. It is the only cottage remaining at its original location according to the town layout developed by Samuel Brannan, Calistoga's founder and one of California's early entrepreneurs. Distinguished by its intricate gingerbread, gable-board and scalloped ridge cresting, the bed and breakfast features a broad wraparound porch and a private courtyard surrounded by ornamental and herb gardens. Inside, a cozy parlor with working fireplace affords a soothing environment for guests to relax or sample the local fermentations from California's Napa or Sonoma Valley wineries.
Most wineries are within an easy drive of the bed and breakfast.
The Brannan Cottage Inn Bed and Breakfast is approximately five minutes walking distance to Calistoga's popular spas, shops, sports facilities and restaurants. The inn is available for small meetings and special events year round, with outdoor facilities available in warmer months.
