Being a Property Manager myself for over 15 years I was surprised by the non- ambiance of the Bed and Breakfast. When arriving there was a note on the door to go upstairs and pick a room - no sign of the Innkeeper - then we came and went and went to bed that night - no Innkeeper. We di not have a clue if the door was locked that night or not. When we awoke in the morning we felt we were treated very coolly and this was our first meeting with the Innkeeper. To say the least we were not impressed. Spoke to others staying there and they felt the same way. It was not a friendly , warm atmosphere I expected from a bed and breakfast. Would not recommend this spot., especially for the rate that was charged.

We stayed here two nights in June. Our room was not huge but the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was a decent size with everything you would need and plenty of hot water in the shower. It was very clean and decorated nicely. There was a sitting room outside our room with a television and magazines and comfortable seating which we enjoyed. Breakfast both mornings was excellent with a hot entree and plenty of fresh fruit. The owner was a long time resident and gave us great recommendations for wineries to visit.

Be sure to visit Sattui and a small family winery - Milat Wine Company - in St. Helena (this was a favorite over all the larger wineries and the owner was great) Try their Port Chocolate Wine Sauce! If you have time, have lunch at Greystone - The Culinary Institute of America. We had lunch there on our anniverary - pricey but the best meal I have ever had.

This B&B is in a great location within a couple blocks off the main street with restaurants and shopping. There is also offstreet parking if you have a vehicle. A very comfortable place to stay and away from a lot of the commercialism in other areas.

Stayed 2 nights in this lovely little inn, only 3-4 rooms, very quaint. The house itself is an old craftsman, with lots of wood and nicely decorated.

We did not know check-in was at 3pm and upon meeting Deena the in-keeper, it was clear she didnt want us around any earlier, this was the only snag, not the most welcoming of sorts after a long trip.

We went out for a while and came back to select our own rooms, no innkeeper in sight. our room was very nice, clean, good firm bed, nice linens and soaps- all high quality. the common areas are small but efficient.

The breakfasts were good - lots of eat and in a nice environment. But if you want a chatty innkeeper, this is not the place for you. we were left to our own devices, good most of the time, unless you had questions.

This place is very nice and a good value in this over-priced part of the world. I would stay again.

I don't know where to begin. Everything about this place is just so perfect. So for now, I'll just forget about cute rooms, the charming front porch swing, and everything else and talk about the innkeeper. Fanny's is named for Robert Louis Stevonson's wife, and operated entirely by a kind woman named Deanna (a former restauranteur),
with help from her resident dog and cats. She has an incredible amount of infromation to share about the valley and it's history. (she has lived there for 25 years)

Alright, back to the rooms. Unlike other reviewers, I had no problem with the size of the rooms, because I booked the adjoining room w/ 2 queen beds. Both of the rooms were individually decorated with new and old antiques. Also left in the room upon arrival were 4 magazines for my enloyment.

Now on to the breakfasts which were plentiful and delicious, so I had something to look foreword to when I woke up. It was entirely different both days I was there. Peach Strudel, Cheese Fritatta, Vegetable Omlete, Lemon-Blueberry Waffles, washed down with fresh squeezed juice, tea, and coffee, enjoyed in the dining room, in the company of Deanna and the many guests that I had the oppurtunity to become friends with.

The only thing that I didn't like was that I had to leave, but I hope to go back again someday.
