“Sets the Standard”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

This bed in breakfast is located a short walk from downtown Napa. It is owned by a couple who ensure that your time spent is memorable--whether through touring, wine tasting, or eating great food. This B&B is a MUST for "foodies" because they provide a gourmet breakfast every morning that cannot be duplicated easily. It will become an annual destination for any couple desiring the ideal get-away!

“Great B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

Awesome stay. Jim's recommendations for wine tasting were spot on and fantastic. Jamie's cookies in the evening and breakfast in the morning were the best. Highly recommend the Inn on First!

“Super place to stay. Will return.”

We can't say anything that hasn't been already stated. A great place to stay, and we will undoubtedly return on our next trip to the valley. Absolutely awesome.
Stay here -- you'll find yourself returning to the Inn earlier in the day, and reluctant to leave in the mornings.
Thanks, Jamie!!

“Each stay has been a great experience”

My husband and I first decided to stay at the Inn on First based on excellent reviews. The inn far exceeded our expectations. We just stayed there for a second time and were equally impressed. Jim and Jaime are wonderful hosts and seem to genuinely care about us having a great experience. Each time, Jim has prepared the most delicious breakfast and even prepared a breakfast to go on the mornings we had to leave early. We really enjoy the freshly baked cookies and port that are out in the evenings. Both Jaime and Jim have given us great recommendations to wineries and restaurants each time and have not disappointed. The location of the Inn is great- it is just a short walk to many great restaurants and tasting rooms in downtown Napa. I can't think of one negative thing to say about the inn. Each stay has been so great- Jim and Jaime have made each visit unique and enjoyable. We look forward to our next visit.

Thank you, and we're happy to hear both experiences have been positive for you! We're not going to sugar-coat it, we honestly do care that every guest has a great experience both at our inn and here in Napa Valley in general. We truly want people to return to Napa as often as they choose to, and the best way to ensure that is to give every guest exactly what they want, so we'll continue to do what we enjoy most, making the best of your visit. As always, thanks for taking the time to post a review, it is greatly appreciated.

“Can't wait to go back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

I found The Inn On First street through Google. We decided to stay because 1) We only had 1 night and lots of B&Bs require two. 2) The room had a heart shaped tub and private access. 3) The decor of the B&B was contemporary and not overly "foo foo". We loved the personal touch you immediately experienced by receiving an email asking about food allergies/preferences (and Jim remembered when he met us too). The restaurant recommendations were great and I appreciated that reservations were made for us (to Celadon). The subtle touches I also loved were: the split of champagne left in our room, use of a picnic basket and water bottles, and the opportunity to purchase additional snacks for your room. Breakfast was delicious with homemade mini donuts, granola and a large breakfast nacho which was so fun to eat! It rained during our trip and I'd like to go back when the weather is warmer so we can get a better appreciation for the outdoors.

Room Tip: Two rooms have a heart shaped tub!

I've said this before, but "can't wait to go back" is music to our ears! You'll definitely enjoy breakfast on the patio if you return between mid-May and the end of September, weather permitting of course, and it almost always does! Jim really enjoys preparing the breakfast, and that's why we do everything from scratch. Thanks so much for taking the time to post a review, it's always appreciated, and we can't wait to serve you a new breakfast next time! No repeat guest is served the same breakfast twice! That's our commitment to you! Jamie
