I recently stayed at the Chanric Inn for a 'girls weekend' to Napa Valley to celebrate a milestone birthday with a dear friend. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. Ric was a wonderful host, gracious and always right there to help us with any plans we wanted to make. Whenever we even mentioned considering visiting a local site... More

If you like cute, clean, quiant, upscale, amazing wineries within a stones throw, walking distance to downtown calistoga and one of the best brunches I've ever had (in my long history of travel) then you've found the right place. It's the perfect little getaway!! Thanks Channing & Ric you two have created the perfect spot. We will be back!! More

The Chanric inn is uncomfortable - nothing glamorous! it is in a fantastic town but way too small for the price. I am sure there are other more glamorous places around that would be more comfortable for a husband and wife. More

I wish I could give Ric Pielstick and Channing McBride ten stars for our stay at their elegant bed-and-breakfast, The Chanric Inn is located in Calistoga, CA. It started out with a telephone call from Ric asking if we needed directions to the Inn, to give them a call.When we arrived, we received a very inviting welcome from Rick. We... More

The Chanric Inn is an adorable place to stay about half a mile from downtown Calistoga. Our room was simple and modern, always clean with a spacious bathroom and a huge comfy bed. The inn had a really cute patio outside, unfortunately, it rained the whole time so we weren't able to sit out there. Channing and Ric, the owners,... More

We had a lovely time. Being parents of two young ones, we rarely have time for ourselves, let alone time to reconnect. And reconnect is what we did during our brief stay at the Chanric. We actually had a chance to talk UNINTERRUPTED (you parents know what I mean!). It's such a welcomed surprise not to find yet another "distraction"... More

Just came back from a few days in Napa and wanted to give a shout out for the Chanric Inn. We had a very nice room, including a very comfortable bed and big, modern washroom. Breakfasts were amazing and both owners, Ric and Channing, are super hospitable and welcoming. Will definetely stay there again next time I visit Napa Valley. More

I love the idea of a bed and breakfast, but I'm usually turned off by the decor of these places. If I'm going to pay a ton to stay somewhere (let's face it, that's anywhere in this area), I would prefer I cool modern space. The Chanric Inn is the best of both worlds! Sleek (small) rooms, gorgeous main part... More

You must stay at least 3 nights to get a decent exposure to the brunch menu and to get the boy's back story - we extended our stay the experience was so good. Plan on 3 months diligent diet and exercise following the visit. no pre planning required, as you can take Ric's recommendations on food and wineries, but don't... More

We enjoyed our stay at The Chanric very much. Of course, it is one of the very best brunches we have ever had- anywhere! Ric was amazingly helpful providing restaurant recommendations (Cook in St. Helena- perfection) and winery recommendations suited to our personalities which he identified in short order. We were thankful he was able to accommodate my husband's diabetic... More
