“Adorable B&B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I spent two nights at the Bear Flag Inn in November. It was my first B&B experience, and I thought it was a fun change of pace to stay in a home rather than a hotel. The owners, Dennis and Marge, are both very sweet. I loved the country feel of the place, with chickens and dogs running around outside. We loved our room, which was really cozy and had an antique feel to it. The bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in, with warm bedding! The claw-foot tub was also really charming. I was happy that for an old house, the inn had good WiFi and great water pressure in the shower. The home-cooked breakfast was delicious and a generous spread of food! It was fun meeting the other visitors at breakfast. The owners also offer a complimentary wine and cheese reception every afternoon, but we missed it both days since it was a friend's wedding weekend. I do think the inn is a little overpriced, but it seems Calistoga is pricey in general.

We really enjoyed the Bear Flag and would recommend it!

Room Tip: We stayed in the Cyrus room and thought it was great.

“Cute B&B outside of Calistoga”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

The hosts are delightful. The room was charming. Loved the claw foot tub. It is a little bit outside of town so you can't just stroll around town. Also the pool area was a little run down. It is off season for the pool but we were hoping to enjoy the hot tub and it didn't appeal to us.

Our bed was squeaky so when you rolled over it made noise. But it was very comfortable. We enjoyed the private entrance.

The breakfasts were wonderful. The evening cocktail hour was enjoyable. Overall a good value.

Room Tip: They gave an AAA discount.

“Hidden Gem!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

My girfriend and I spent 2 nights at the bear flag inn in September 2011 and had the relaxing break we hoped for after 4 nights in Vegas!

We were made to feel straight at home by Dennis and Marge, who kindly served some of their fine local wine and Beer!!! Their politeness and generosity came naturally to them which was a highlight!

We stayed in the storm room which we found spatious, bright and comfortable. Especially the bed!!! We slept like babies!

The B&B is set in a great location a short walk from downtown which made it perfect for exploring the local area.

We cant think of anything bad to say about the place so no negatives to add from us!

Overall a pleasant enjoyable stay, great hosts, great weather & somewhere we would fully recommend!

Thank you
Daniel & Alex

“Great B&B, wonderful hosts!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

We stayed at the Bear Flag Inn for 2 nights in September 2011, as part of our honeymoon. We had a great stay - Dennis and Marge are wonderful hosts, very welcoming and friendly. Dennis serves his own wine, from the vinyard in which the B&B is situated, every evening, which we really enjoyed. It was nice chatting with the other guests also. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and had a stained glass window. We loved Calistoga and if we are in the area again, would definitely stay at the Bear Flag Inn.

“Friendly, comfortable, home away from home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

We stayed at the Bear Flag Inn in mid-August 2011 and had a wonderful time. Dennis and Marge are the best hosts you could ever want. The Inn was wonderfully comfortable, nicely decorated, and reasonably priced.

Best features: a wonderful, bountiful, home-cooked breakfast; an afternoon social hour (with Dennis' own wine); a nice swimming pool and whirlpool; and lots of amenities and extras.

Best room: the Lovina room, which has its own private entrance.
