Fanny’s

We had a lovely stay at Fanny’s! The interior and exterior are quaint and well decorated. Enjoyed a glass of wine while relaxing on the hammock in the front! Breakfast was wonderful, filling and had many options (e.g., pastries, fruit, veggies, meat, coffee, tea, water, juice). The bed was super comfortable which was a welcome retreat after a few days of traveling. The rooms are on the small side (as I find with many B&Bs) but why are you hanging out in your room in wine country! There is a TV in the common area, which we probably wouldn’t have watched at all generally, but we had to check on March Madness! The owner has 3 cute dogs which she keeps in her area, but since we are dog people, she let them out downstairs (all the rooms are upstairs, so they can’t reach private areas) and we loved playing with the sweeties while waiting for breakfast. The only reason I docked a star was that we weren’t provided a key to lock our room. There was a sign on the front that said choose an open room when we arrived. That was convenient to settle in right when we arrived, but as we had many belongings, I was a bit nervous leaving everything unattended. When we crossed paths with Deanna (owner), she assured us everything would be fine, though I would’ve liked that peace of mind. Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Fanny’s again.

What a wonderful stay. We visited for 2 nights and the accommodations were really nice, especially the breakfast, the porch for relaxing, and the quaint picturesque town of Calistoga. Deanna, the owner, is kind and gracious. Her breakfast is gourmet and accommodating to vegetarian and vegan needs. Thank you for a great time. We will return again!

This was a very conveniently located b&b in Calistoga with a quiet, quaint atmosphere. The front porch was lovely, and the shady hammock was even better. And the breakfast (cooked by the owner) was better than any breakfast you could get at any restaurant in Calistoga or the surrounding areas — seriously impressive and delicious. My only complaints are that the floors in the rooms are so squeaky that it sounds like a siren in the middle of the night if you have to get up for any reason. Also, the plumbing left something to be desired — our second day there, we woke up to remnants of sewage in the shower from a septic back up problem. Needless to say, we skipped our showers that day. Aside from that, I would definitely recommend staying here.

I LOVED this little B&B. It’s super quiet, very relaxing and quaint. The downstairs area is pretty large, with a dining area and a living room space (with a fireplace). There’s a nice porch on which you can sit and relax. Upstairs are four rooms, and you get to pick whichever one is open. We chose a cute room upstairs, to the right. It was bright, and cozy. Everything is very clean, organized, and no odors anywhere. Outside the rooms (and also downstairs) are wine glasses, bottle openers, and napkins. Each room has towels, and all other things needed for a bathroom.
The rooms and bathrooms are a bit small, it’s definitely not a hotel room that people are used to. Then again, for those people who just need to sleep and grab a bite and relax, you really don’t need a huge room. This was just perfect. Also, the rooms are nowhere near as depressing as hotel rooms. They’re bright and almost nautically colorful.
The owner is very nice, and has these three adorable dogs and one furry orange cat. The dogs are awesome!!! They were cute, loved attention, and weren’t loud. Plus side, there was no fur anywhere, and like I said, extremely clean. Just an FYI, she keeps them in another part of the building, and they don’t go upstairs. She asked us if it was okay to let them run around in the downstairs area while we were there. So super considerate host.
It rained in the evening the night we stayed there, so fiancé and I opened up a bottle of wine, each grabbed a book off the shelves, and sat on the porch reading. Then we moved inside after a while, sitting by the fireplace.
Breakfast was delicious. A nice assortment of toast and spreads, coffee, tea, and juice, and then getting a place with fresh fruit, yogurt, and a scone. Follow that up with a freshly made vegetable and prosciutto frittata. Next time we’re wine tasting in the area, we’ll be staying again at Fanny’s. A wonderful stay all around.
Did I mention the cute dogs?

Home away from home! Sitting by the fireplace, reading my book with the friendly pups by your feet and lap before breakfast-​so relaxing! And the breakfast-​delicious, wonderful, scrumptious, … When you stay here, please don’t skip it! Thank you, Deanna for making our stay a relaxing, wonderful experience!

This is a really amazing place. Went over night on our trip to SF to see Redwood trees and the wineries and found this great B&B the same day online. Comfortable beds, beautiful rooms, the best breakfast I’ve had since I last went to Canada, and all the rooms have their own cute little bathrooms. Super neat and comfortable, plus the innkeeper is extremely helpful and nice. I wish I could stay here all year long!

We recently enjoyed a lovely weekend getaway in Calistoga and have no regrets about staying at Fanny’s. The house was charming and comfortable. The porch was handsome and provided a great setting for evening wine and Boggle. The bed was super comfy. And the breakfast was out of this world. Deanna generously accommodated us by serving a delicious vegan breakfast, which included perfect chilaquiles. She also provided coconut creamer for our coffee and Earth Balance for our toast. It was a great experience and we will definitely pay another visit.
(Tall people, beware: the roof by the bed is steeply pitched and I bumped my head no less than 4 times. But I’m also uncoordinated!)

Picture perfect little B&B in Calistoga! Loved the common areas open to the guests, the bookshelves, and the game shelves! I absolutely love window seats and was enjoyed the upstairs window seat.
The rooms are small, but I knew this ahead of time from the
pictures and information. The air conditioning was awesome — kept us nice and cool in the hot summer. However, another gueest said that their air conditioning barely worked.
Breakfast in the morning was soooooo delicious! Wonderland coffee, delicious muffins, fresh fruit cut up and mixed, fresh yogurt, delicious bread for toast and jams to go with it. Didn’t have time to try the frittata.

Completely exceeded our expectations.
I was visiting Napa Valley with my wife for the first time. We found Fanny’s on Unilocal.We arrived around 4pm and claimed one of the rooms upstairs. Shortly after we were greeted by Deanne who welcomed us and gave us some basic logistical information. We took Deanne’s recommendation and ate at a local Mexican restaurant (order the steak tacos). The town of Calistoga is quaint and perfect for walking. We strolled the Main Street and found a local grocery store just a short walk away where we picked up a few items we forgot to pack.
The bed was comfortable and we had no problem getting a full nights rest. We were up early and actually made a drive back to Napa (city) to catch an early morning crossfit WOD. We arrived back at Fanny’s just in time for morning coffee.
We showered and made our way down for breakfast. Deanne had hot raspberry bread pudding and freshly cut fruit waiting for us. There were also other breads, pastries, and jam. After helping ourselves to these starters Joanne brought in a freshly made frittata… YUM !
We packed our things and left shortly after.
Maybe the best experience came later that day after we traveled back into San Francisco for the business leg of our trip. I found that I had left my keys at Fanny’s and had no transportation back to Calistoga. A bit panicked, I called Deanne who calmly took care of shipping the keys (expedited) to our hotel in SF. We were able to continue on our trip without stressing about our keys.
We would recommend Fanny’s to anyone visiting Napa Valley.

Very pretty house. The room is small but we were not there during the day so it was not a big deal. The only issue I found was that the dogs sometimes bark when you walk by the owners area. It was a little annoying.

Such a lovely little B&B, great affordable place for a few nights in Calistoga. Deanna is a kind and gracious hostess and is happy to give you recommendations for places to visit during your stay. Breakfast each morning was amazing! Freshly made juice, coffee, an assortment of teas and on each of the three mornings a new breakfast creation always with fresh fruit on the side.

As another reviewer wrote, I’m surprised that there are so many 5 stars…
My wife and I booked a room for a one night get away. We figured we would drive up day of, go wine tasting, sleep, then drive home in the morning. I paid 230 dollars (don’t know if that’s standard for the place but everything else was sold out and for much higher, don’t know if it was a weekend with a special event in the area)
So when we arrived at about 1 PM there were no signs, no people, no directions, not even a note. I figured out what to do based on other reviews. We picked a room and «claimed» it by leaving our bag inside (no keys for locks, didn’t like that). So after leaving out stuff inside unsecure, we left for the day. When we came back at night all the other doors were closed and still no sign, don’t know if I am suppose to sign something… a receipt… anything… how do they know I’m not just a hobo coming in to sleep for the night without paying…
The windows had no way to cover them so someone from the street or house next door got a perfect shot into the room… I propped a bunch of pillows in front of them for some privacy… the beds were super squeaky for a place with thin walls.
O the room did have air conditioning but no TV.
In the morning I was expecting magic since I read the reviews here raving about the breakfast… yes it was good but nothing crazy… eggs, sausage, fruit, toast with a selection of tea, coffee or juice. The «nice lady» that cooked the food was not so nice when my wife told her she had to have gluten free/​dairy free breakfast. (no service with a smile!)
We left shortly after. I am not impressed. I could have gotten better service and experience from a hotel… which is where I will go next time…
This place gets 3 stars based on the house/​decoration (my wife loved that), cleanliness, and proximity to downtown (walking distance, 2 or 3 blocks).

I don’t have words adequate to describe how amazing our stay at Fanny’s was. The innkeeper, Deanna, is a true gem. Very hospitable, helpful and an amazing cook; you’ll be hard pressed to find such tasty breakfasts.
She went above and beyond to get coffee and breakfast together for our last morning there, meaning she woke up at the crack of dawn, literally, to do so and to see us off. I sure didn’t expect that but was oh so grateful!
The resident dogs kept megreat company and were an added bonus to this charming, authentic b&b. Décor is just as I would love my own home to mirror. There will be no question about where we will lodge on our return trips to wine country in the years to come. This is indeed our true home away from home.

What a beautiful, B&B gem. You can’t ask for more than this.
I booked a 3 day weekend surprise getaway to Calistoga for my boyfriends birthday. I found Fanny’s on
and quickly swooned when I saw the images and the amazing Unilocal reviews.
We arrived at 3pm check-​in on Saturday afternoon. There was a note on the door to find a room upstairs. Fanny’s has a cozy-​farmhouse feel. It’s done so well and so much thought put into the décor of each room. We chose a room with a window nook — absolutely adorable, super clean and well kept. I want my own home to look as good as this B&B.
We shared a glass of wine in the upstairs «hang out» (pottery barn cushions and beautifully colored rugs to match) — our neighbors upstairs were sweet and we chatted for a few hours — very quiet and relaxing.
We went out to eat that night and was greeted by Deanna when we got back to the house that evening. Deanna is very thoughtful and sweet — a perfect host. She gave us suggestions for eating out in the area and told us to enjoy her home.
The next morning I was totally blown away. Not only was the breakfast WAY more than we expected, but she even offered to make my vegan beau, a special vegan scramble. It was absolutely delicious — we didnt expect any special treatment and she went above and beyond. Pine nuts, kale, roasted potatoes, fresh tomatoes… She had a bowl of fresh cut fruit and home made muffins that were to die for, fresh squeezed OJ, the most delicious bread for toast, coffee and tea…
We planned on doing a bike wine tour. We brought our bikes and Deanna offered to put together a custom wine bike tour for us — she googled and printed the entire thing with her own favorite wineries. It saved us so much time and the wineries she suggested ended up being perfect.
We were SO pleased with our stay and hope to visit again soon. Thank you, Deanna! Anyone is lucky to stay at your beautiful home ;)

I’m really surprised by all the five star reviews of Fanny’s. I’ve stayed here twice in the last few years and was not impressed either time. The house itself is beautiful with a spacious front porch that would be wonderful for relaxing. As many people have noted on Trip Advisor, the proprietor is not particularly warm or friendly but will answer your questions if asked. Her breakfast were generous and delightful; she seemed fine with accommodating dietary restrictions though, again, not particularly friendly about it.
Rooms are pretty tight, as are bathrooms, but it’s nice that each room has a private bathroom. Beds were just OK, a little on the soft side. It’s a bit rustic and there’s a cute sitting room/​loft where you can relax at the end of the evening. Location is not directly in downtown but a short walk away.
The price is right though and if don’t plan on spending too much time in the house, it’s a fine option.

Best deal around when it comes to the Napa Valley. My husband and I recently stayed two nights here for a short, romantic getaway. Fanny’s is a beautifully furnished B&B, the accommodations are simple, but pretty.
Breakfast is delicious and large, great coffee. The owner is friendly and helpful. The entire place is clean and comfortable.
The rooms are small with angled ceilings, but there is no way a normal sized person would hit his/​her head on the ceiling. The bathrooms are very utilitarian, and there is no in room television.
Fanny’s is the perfect place to see the Napa Valley or «get away from it all.»

Cute. cute. CUTE!
Reasonably priced (the area is normally expensive), nice room, good breakfast, and you get greeted by the three awesome dogs (all were rescues).
This is my first experience with a B&B and it certainly turned me on to doing it again.
I would love to stay here again, especially when not on a work trip.

My wife and I were looking for a quiet weekend getaway to Napa county and stumbled upon Fanny’s while searching for B&Bs on Unilocal.
Admittedly, even though the reviews were raving, I felt «forced» to book at Fanny’s because of the price — $ 150 a night (plus tax) as opposed to nearly $ 200 everywhere else. Furthermore, I looked around the area on Google streetview and it just did seem ‘romantic’ to me… but I guess some risks are worth to be taken.
When we arrived, late Friday afternoon, the burgundy house that is Fanny’s seemed so cozy and inviting that I couldn’t wait to get inside. When we climbed up the stairs, the door had a little sign — come on in and grab a room!
The ‘middle-​america’ style house, with its creaky wooden floors, wood beams, walls and antique décor was absolutely perfect. The stairs, narrow and tall lead the guests to the top floor where there are 4 rooms to choose from, each with a private bathroom. The cottage-​y feeling instantly drew away all my concerns — it was just what we wanted.
The rooms are cute and tidy; nice queen sized bed, a little one-​person couch and closet, A/​C, ceiling fan but no TV — and we saw it as a good thing. The bathrooms are also very clean although a bit narrow.
But the highlight of this place is Deanna, the innkeeper, herself! Friendly, full of good information about what to do around the place, and an incredible cook! We had the pleasure of enjoying her hand-​made breakfasts twice and both times they were absolutely delicious!
So if you are looking for a nice little B&B for a weekend getaway in Wine Country — give Fanny’s a consideration… :)

We stayed here over memorial day weekend and it was a blast. The race track was LOUD a few blocks away, so if you want sleep any earlier than midnight when they’re going on, good luck. But location was great, minus the creepy, vacant old house kitty-​corner to Fanny’s. Supposedly an old hospital? Hmm… nothing freaky happened while we were there but one’s got to think there are some stories to that place. Yikes.
The owner was really pleasant and willing to lend her expertise on local activities and wineries. And breakfast was AWESOME. Frittatas, quiche, some south american (ala Mexican) egg dish with tortilla chips that I cannot for the life of me remember… yum. Fresh fruit, fresh bread/​muffins and coffee rounded out each morning. So good.
Rooms were sort of funky, I couldn’t sit up straight on my side of the bed due to a slanted roof, which was pretty neat had I not been trying to refrain from cracking my dome on the wall. For some reason the bed did not work for me, despite all the wine consumed and delicious food eaten. Not sure what the deal was, I don’t think it had a problem, just wasn’t to my liking so I can’t blame Fanny’s for it. Only real issue at all was a slight inconvenience — the shower was TINY. We’re pretty inexperienced at B&B stays, so I may just be ignorant but it would’ve been nice to have a shower you could wash your legs in, and a shower head that you didn’t have to duck down to in order to wash your hair.
Petty stuff though, definitely worth the stay if you’re not too full of yourself and your needs. I’d definitely stay there again.

My girlfriend and I’s stay at Fanny’s lasted 2 hours.
We arrived and the room we were given had a slanted ceiling that only allowed one to stand upright on one half of the room. Add to that, when you get out of the bed on the slanted side of the room, your head hits the ceiling. There was limited light in the room, and it just had this attic/​cave feeling. She started getting claustrophobic. We asked to cancel. The owner refused and then tried asking our neighbors to switch rooms with us (they didn’t seem all that eager). We paid the $ 171 and moved to the Mount View Hotel nearby, which was similarly priced and great (heated pool, jacuzzi, nice room, and crazy of crazy, you could stand upright in the entire room).
Anyways, I’m sure the breakfast is great and the grounds were quiet and nice. But the owners should be more upfront with prospective patrons about the type of room they’re getting. Also, if you’re going to stay there, make sure you ask about the type of room you’re getting.
