This place was super cool to stay. We loved it so much we will be back. From the check- in to the pool bar and spa, the staff just stood out. At the pool bar upon arrival we had lunch, a massive taco salad. The next morning we had a great breakfast. We booked the Spa Cottage and absolutely loved it!! Planning on going back.

This place really surpassed my expectations. I booked this as a last minute getaway for my partner and I to escape Oakland for a night. We have been to many spa and spring resorts and I really liked the vibe at this one. Super chill, the World Cup was on so we could get in the hot tub then pop out to watch the game and have a beer. Staff is on another level of friendliness. It’s amazing that you can pull off the main road, put on a robe, get in the water snd you feel like you are on vacation at a beach resort somewhere. Calistoga downtown is also so cute with tons of great shops and I really like the Ira Yeager museum. We will definitely be going back to Dr. Ws again.
