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! More

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!! More

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... More

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... More

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... More

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... More

This is the perfect place for a weekend retreat in Napa. Great central location within walking distance to everything. Elegant, clean, charming, comfortable, romantic. The adjective are endless. Jaime was the perfect host. THe breakfast was delicious. My partner and I took the in-laws here for a weekend getaway in wine country. It was perfect. I would recommend this B&b... More

A perfect host? Those are mighty shoes to fill, but I'll continue to do my best with every guest who walks through the door. We look forward to sharing more winery experiences with you, it's one of the benefits of hosting guests who come to the valley with frequency, we all learn so much in the process! Thanks for taking... More

I took my husband to The Inn on First to celebrate his 40th birthday. When we arrived, we were greeted by one of the owners, Jim, who gave us a tour of the beautiful grounds before leading us to our room. We stayed in the "Incantment" room, one of the garden suites that features a cozy, very private outdoor area... More

Thank you for your very generous response, and we're thrill you enjoyed the experience. My favorite part of your response: "Apple Squares"... they are simply crazy-good, and the guests are enjoying them tremendously. How can something so bite-sized taste so good? That's Jim's secret I guess! Thanks again, Jamie. More

What a relaxing few days. The room was beautiful, the food amazing and the hospitality unmatched.We showed up on Christmas day in the afternoon and Jamie was still able to get us a dinner reservation at The Farm, no small feat with so many places closed for the holiday. All of his recommendations for wineries and dining were spot on,... More

We loved our stay at Inn on First- the breakfasts are truly delicious with the best fruit salads, eggs, churros, pastries, fresh squeezed juices, etc. We stayed 3 nights and each day was different and delicious. I'm a vegetarian, and was well accommodated. My boyfriend and I took advantage of the lovely, well-stocked picnic baskets on 2 days - a... More

Jim puts a lot of love into the food here at The Inn On First, and we're thrilled you enjoyed it! Those picnic backpacks do get quite a workout, and with so many wonderful options for picking up food, both here in town and up valley, our guests can enjoy a scrumptious picnic lunch as well!
