My wife and I where staying at their second inn, the wineway inn, but we arrived a day early. So Nick arranged for us to stay here, the sister inn to wineway. The back room, with the private deck was awesome and again the food was great. More

Gillian was the best hostess.....our room was cozy and so convenient to walk into Calistoga. Our breakfast was sumptious...variety was great, could not have asked for more attention to details. We would HIGHLY recommend this perfect B&B to anyone. More

Our second delightful stay with Nick and Gillian for what is likely to become an annual tradition of spring hedonism in the cozy spa town of Calistoga. Having stayed in both their properties now --the Craftsman Inn this year and the Wine Way Inn the previous--we can heartily recommend either as a comfortable, even luxurious base camp for your forays...

Nothing terrible to say about The Craftsman as I enjoyed our stay there, but it was pretty much exactly what I was expecting - I can't genuinely give it the same glowing reports of the more recent reviewers, but I have nothing to warn others against. The proprietors were likeable folks and the extra touches like leaving fresh cookies and... More

Thanks for the kind words. We are sorry you felt you could not rate your stay as excellent. It is a shame you did not communicate your desires regarding breakfast as we could have easily set up a separate table or provided a tray to take something back to your room. We would also have happily held breakfast until 10:00... More

We loved our stay at the Craftsman B&B. Our room was lovely, the bed divine, and the jacuzzi tub was fabulous. All their decor throughout the house and in the rooms is fantastic. We appreciated all the sweet touches.... fresh cookies in a jar in our room, a decantour of sherry with cute sherry glasses, nice robes, great sheets and... More

I had the pleasure of staying at the Craftsman thanks to a generous boss and it was a great gift to stay there while in the area. Gillian's breakfast of fresh made granolas and scones (incredible and I am now a convert to the church of scone thanks to Gillian) just to start the day. The personal touches are truly... More

We completely enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to return as soon as possible. The Inn is beautiful, clean, spacious and well maintained. Our room was so comfortable, warm and inviting we could not wait to get back to it after wine tasting and exploring downtown Calistoga. Gillian and Nick are wonderful people, experienced Inn Keepers and gracious hosts. It... More

The reservation was initially for one person at Gillian's other B&B The Wine Way inn. That was before I decided to come along. Since we are just friends we did not want to share a bed. We got an email from Nick that we were upgraded to a room at the Craftsman B&B. Didn't know whether or not that was... More

The Craftsman Inn in Calistoga is perfectly situated at the northend of the town with perfect walking access to restaurants, great shopping, bars, and spas. The inn itself has been restored beautifully in the Craftsman tradition and also has a European feel. An old style staircase covered in plush carpet leads to spacious and comfortable bedrooms. There is also an... More

My family booked a pair of adjacent rooms for a celebration. The rooms are rather small, but comfortable and squeaky clean. The rooms have small TVs with DVD player, and a CD player. The common sitting area is welcoming with a current newspaper, games, complimentary sherry, homemade scones and chocolate. The host couple, Gillian and Nick are from England. Nick... More
