The place was clean and in a convenient location. Couches were uncomfortable, no cleaning supplies to wash dishes, and uncertain of check-out instructions. Minor things but a good stay over all
Quaint two bedroom had everything we needed to enjoy our 3 night stay in Calistoga. Close to great food, wineries, soaking in hot springs, and hiking. Would definitely stay here again.
The cottage was lovely and easy. Parking, free shuttle, spotless, easy check in and out. Couldn’t ask for more and I manage vacation rentals so the details really matter to me. Cheers!
Two friends shared the Aurora House with 2 bedrooms and one bath. We prefer to eat in for breakfast and dinner - the kitchen was a must for us. We didn't use the outdoor deck or seating as it was too chilly for us. Road noise is there but not noticeable in the bedrooms as they're on the backside of this freestanding unit. Dedicated parking for the house is convenient. Comfortable living room furniture and cozy beds.
Our stay at this house was great. The key to get in wasn't where it was supposed to be when we got there but the on site host answered my call and was there right away with the key so was no issue at all. Friendly staff. Great communication. Clean and comfy house. I would definitely recommend the house and would stay there again.
Enjoyed our stay at Aurora House. Very clean and comfortable lodging; just as advertised. Even a couple very nice touches like a welcome card, AC on to a comfortable temperature at arrival, and bottled water in the fridge. A very solid VRBO experience!
This place was perfect for three adults if you don’t mind sharing one bath. Large open living room and a great deck and very walkable to downtown Calistoga.
If you need a place to stay in Calistoga, this is the place! Perfect location close to the main street and wineries. The home has everything you need and more. It is spotless and well maintained. We loved the privacy and gorgeous deck to sit out on for meals and sipping on a glass of wine. The communication with the owner was wonderful and she responds immediately to any questions you may have. I will definitely be back again.
This cottage is the perfect spot for a small group getaway to wine country! It's well maintained, and very walkable to downtown Calistoga. We would love to stay again on our next trip!
We had an amazing time in Calistoga and The Aurora House was a big part of it! With the cozy fireplace, good sized kitchen and comfy beds, we had exactly what we needed for our stay. The one and only drawback was the cottage is close to the main highway and there is a bit of road noise. Other than that it was a stellar rental!!!
32 year Anniversary & 2nd Honeymoon worth the wait!
My husband and I never travelled alone together for a week after we were married and quickly started a family! This was worth the wait! Kate makes it so special. It was home away from home. We LOVED the drive from Callistoga to the wineries each day. 20 minutes to downtown Napa is truth nothing. Totally worth it! Each day, you see something new. After a few days, we did miss our bed. But definitely a great place to stay!
It's a lovely cottage near the town of Calistoga. Comfortably furnished and air-conditioned. The only slight drawback is a single bathroom, but it sizable for two couples.
My best friend and I stayed here for a girls weekend. We had a great time. The house was just perfect for us. Adorable, colorful decor, comfortable furniture and beds, and the fireplace was lovely to have glowing every evening. Very spacious and open floor plan. Excellent location for going to town, but a bit noisy with road traffic. Only bothersome when sitting on the deck. Throw pillows and blankets for cuddling up on cold evenings would have been nice. An assortment of larger glassware other than small juice glasses should be added.
Overall, a lovely place to relax for a few days while exploring.
The property could not have been better—so clean, great location and lots of space. Would definitely stay here again!

Warm, Beautiful & Charming
We really enjoyed this little gem! Great space, love the gas fireplace and location was great for us since we have family up valley! The only complaint I have is the over use of scented fabric softener/dryer sheets on the bedding, I couldn't get away from it! Had to sleep with my windows open but the highly scented bedding on the comfy beds really wreaked havoc with my sinuses and made for not so peaceful sleep. Everything else was lovely.

About the host
Hosted by Kate Hegre
I have lived in Calistoga for the past 6 years, though I have spent much more time here as my family has operated a business in town for over 30 years. For the past 6 years I have been managing my family's business here in town.
Why they chose this property
This home was formerly used for a bed & breakfast innkeeper residence, part of the family business. Upon relocating our innkeeper across the street when the only other house on the block became available, this residence was remodeled for a daily rental.
What makes this property unique
The location at the top of the Napa Valley could not be more perfect! From the living room or deck you can see the hot air balloons soar into the sky. There are over 25 wineries within a 2.5 mile radius, over 15 restaurants within half a mile, and 2 State parks within 10 miles. Don't miss the Farmer's Market downtown on Saturdays.
