My boyfriend surprised me for my birthday with a trip to Calistoga. We pulled up to the Chanric and I was already in heaven. The property is absolutely beautiful. We were greeted by one of owners who live on the property and he was very pleasant. The inside of the B&B is gorgeous, very open and modern and tastefully designed.... More

We travel to the Napa area frequently and this time decided to stay at the Chanric. The Inn is gorgeous and the service tops it all! The amazing 3 course breakfast is the icing on the cake! We will tell all of our friends to never bother looking for anywhere else to stay in the area but the Chanric Inn!... More

What can I say? The Chanric is awesome. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed by Joel, we were in the open plan kitchen/dining room and he told us to help ourselves to coffee from the machine (it does GREAT coffee!!) and also to water and soft drinks in the fridge, he explained that he does cheese and...

Wine o'clock! What a fabulous way to describe our take on the traditional pre-dinner happy hour. We're lucky to be able to sample so many different varietals throughout the year, and it's a pleasure to share them with our guests. I'm glad that you enjoyed that, as well as the rest of your stay with us. Thank you very much... More

We had booked into the Chanric early in the year after examining many alternatives. Between our booking and arrival it had changed hands and Joel and Jim had taken the helm.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left I had a sense of wanting to be there, and being welcomed. The hosts were understated, rather than being over the top, much closer to my taste! The word attentive reached new heights in my experience of the word made flesh. Joel is the front of house partner, while Jim... More

Whatever you read about the breakfast is true. The 3 course breakfast is prefaced by room-side coffee when you wake up... And the meal is so indulgent that you'll want to go straight back to bed after you're done eating! Joel and his partner also offer complimentary wine and cheese at 5 which in itself justifies the price of the... More
