Calistoga Hideout

Calistoga, USA - map
Sleeps up to 14 - 8 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms

Nestled amidst the towering redwoods, which have been standing for centuries, lies a serene sanctuary that offers an unparalleled lodging experience. This magnificent estate is situated on a ridge that straddles both the Napa and Sonoma Valleys and is just a 15-minute drive from the center of either the Sonoma Valley or Calistoga and the Napa Valley. The colossal trees create a virtual cathedral that encircles the house, reaching over 200 feet to the heavens, and humbling visitors with their length of limb, as well as their length of life. The location is further enhanced by its position on a sunny, south-facing knoll that overlooks a gurgling, mountain brook.

To reach the house, visitors must traverse a 60-foot rise and a 200-foot distance from the bridge and parking lot. However, there are several options to walk the “fit-bit” hill, and an electric cart is available for guests to use to travel the short distance with ease.

The estate boasts a private movie theater that doubles as a video conference center, with a 12-foot wide front projection and surround sound. The video library includes all the classic westerns and documentaries of the wild west, as well as a broad selection of contemporary films.

A 75-foot long deck cantilevers over Humbug Creek, with towering redwoods growing right through it. The backyard features a large fire-pit, perfect for gathering and sharing tall tales, and reviewing the adventures of the day. The state-of-the-art hot tub provides customizable jets that offer true hydrotherapy massage.

The level of comfort offered by the estate is unparalleled. Each of the eight historically appointed bedrooms has its own private bathroom. The great room, with walls of reclaimed redwood, soars to 26 feet above the floor. An adjacent wine bar and game room offers two wine towers, full regulation billiards, and poker tables, as well as a wide-screen TV and surround sound. The public spaces are vast and offer numerous opportunities for additional daybeds in a variety of nooks scattered about the building.

Everything in the estate is reclaimed, repurposed, and antique, imbuing the property with a sense of history and nostalgia. The furnishings and decor tell a story of their own - walnut cabinets from early Philadelphia in the billiards room, hand-made European doors from the late 1800s throughout, live edge redwood from the western shores of Sonoma County, and fir plank flooring reclaimed from the abandoned Mare Island Naval Base at the North End of the San Francisco Bay. The artwork, sculpture, and objects displayed throughout the house come from rural America - all true antiques and mementos of life in the late 19th century.
