Where to go that's near napa

We have plans Oct 9th to drop our daughter off at my sil for the night in Napa. The 8th is our 5 year wedding anniversary. It's the only weekend we can do it. She has to work a Saturday, then has her 20th anniversary and then halloween? After oct we get in to the holidays then Jan I'm due with our second child. With all that said our plans were get tickets from my grandfather for the wine train (he works on the train so he buys them for us on his discount) and stay at our fav hotel. Well the crush season I guess started late and because it will still be going on at that time every hotel/motel/bed and breakfast is booked. I even looked at rental homes and what's left is way out of our budget. So now I need a new plan. I want to stay around Napa. So I have no clue where to go. I don't want to spend to much for just the one night. Really I think I want a place we can walk around have a nice dinner and relax. I would prefer somewhere we can walk from the hotel to dinner and not need to drive our car any where.

  • How about Calistoga?  The mud baths are wonderful! :)

    They are booked up. All of Napa valley.
  • I just did a really quick check on Expedia and it looks like there are a couple places available for a good price. I'm not sure if they meet your criteria for being walking distance from restaurants, but considering the Holiday Inn I stayed in last year during crush is booked I don't know how particular you can be at this point.

    Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

     I now I cant be picky on a hotel if we stay in Napa or Napa Valley during the crush.  Thats why I want something around Napa but not really in Napa Valley. Does anyone know about places outside of napa that has places we can walk around not be stuck in a hotel room eat dinner and relax.  Most the time we do this we always stay in Napa and have our fav places and things we always do but im not sure what to do outside of Napa valley.

  • Have you looked at any places in Sonoma or Dry Creek? Something in Healdsburg would be within walking distance of lots of restaurants. Or, if it's only for one night and for your anniversary you could try someplace like

    River's End on the coast. It's a little guest house on a cliff where the Russian River hits the Pacific Ocean and has a great restaurant. It's close enough to get back to wineries within 30 minutes.

    or The Farmhouse Inn

    I just did the Farmhouse for my last anniversary. It was lovely. It means you're eating/staying in just one place and not walking around a town, but they're both nice.

  • Have you tried VRBO?  We're going that same weekend and rented a 2 BR house.  I saw a few apartments listed for a reasonable rate a few weeks ago in downtown Napa.
