Relax in our gorgeous, airy, quiet, spa-like retreat just three blocks from shops, restaurants, and winery tasting rooms. Luxuriate in high thread-count cotton sheets with goose down bedding. Each of the three guest rooms has its own bathroom, making each a master suite. Lounge by our fireplace. Cook in the fully-stocked gourmet kitchen. Shower outdoors in our heated spa shower next to the Jacuzzi hot tub. We have a gas grill, speakers in every room, and Wifi throughout. There are four bicycles to use, a ping pong table and DVDs and games. Every amenity awaits your visit. Sit in our steam shower to warm up on a cool day. There are lovely places to dine al fresco on our patios or sit in outdoor arm chairs with a glass of wine. Our West Side streets are fun to stroll and there are also acres of vines within a couple of blocks of our door. St. Helena is the best place to base a visit to the valley from because it is so central. Let us help you with recommendations for things to do, places to eat and restaurants to try. Lie on our deep window seat reading a novel (there are plenty of books in the house). We are eager to make your visit as fun and relaxing as possible! The house sleeps 6 in luxurious suites that feature king or queen beds. It really is paradise and you will feel yourself unwind from the moment you arrive. This is a NO SMOKING house and we can't do short rentals because we don't have a short term rental permit. We rent by the month, 30-night minimum, at a flat fee of 16K in peak season (see winter rates).
We have four kids, and bought this house as a family weekend getaway. We are TV producers in the Bay Area, doing shows mainly for HGTV. Mila always imagined creating a fun rental experience for guests, so she has had a great time getting the house ready with fluffy towels, toiletries, warm throws, and every comfort. She wants to know the minute a guest thinks something could be improved! We are fun-loving creative types who like to decorate.
Mila Holt purchased this house in 2013
We made a bid on this house immediately after touring it because it is unique in its beauty, charm and design. Everything is so well thought out. There are endless ways to enjoy the home, and all of it is uncluttered yet cozy and serene. You can park your car and not use it for days if you want, or tour the valley from this very central location. There are lovely vineyard walks within a couple of blocks. The Wine Country is truly one of the most beautiful places in the United States, and the variety of great eating, drinking, hiking, and biking experiences that await you is unmatched. It changes with every season!
When you open the three huge french doors that face onto the pool, turn on the slow-moving overhead fans, and plug in your Ipod to our whole-house sound system, you will know why we love this home. The neutral colors of the walls are soothing, and the light pours in through the huge, steel windows. Outdoors, there is a veggie garden, from which you can usually pick lemons or tomatoes or herbs. At night, the outdoor lighting creates a magical environment for al fresco dining or wine tasting with friends. Set out the candles and relax!
Wow. Talk about meeting and exceeding expectations! We knew when we saw the pics on Homeaway that this house was "the one" for us. But once we got there, we were even more pleasantly surprised and pleased. My husband, myself and our 7 year old son got to enjoy this beautiful home for the whole month of July. There was nothing the owners didn't think about to provide the best hospitality. From the decor, to the kitchen accommodations, to the bath amenities, to the surround speakers, games, votive candles/holders, etc, etc.. I could go and on. Not to mention the lovely flower and herb garden, in which I picked flowers and kept them around the house in the many vases that were provided. We enjoyed fantastic dinners, at home, by the luxurious pool and soaked in the beautiful backyard scene (the lighting was on point!). We enjoyed playing ping pong, as a family, as well. During the day, my son played at the park with some of the local families and was able to attend Napa British Soccer Camp for a week of our stay. This allowed my husband and I the opportunity to go to nice lunches in Rutherford, Napa, and several of the wineries. We love Bistro Don Gionanni and the Rutherford Grill. Brunching at Meadowood wasn't bad either:) ...but, mostly, we stayed right where we were in St. Helena..Such a beautiful and safe town in which we, really and truly, felt like it was our "Home away from Home" with all the comforts of this lovely house. Walking into town for shopping and eating was such a treat, not to mention the awesome bikes the owner provided for us! I can't remember the last time I actually was able to ride a bike to the grocery store! So awesome! We rarely had to reach out to Mila, but when we did, she was very warm and receptive. We would recommend this home to anyone! It's amazing and perfect in all ways. Thank you so much for allowing us to spend the month! I can promise you that we will be back! Maybe next July! ;).
Kindly and Sincerely, The DeSantis Family from Tallahassee, FL..
Thank you Mila and Tyler for opening your home to us, it felt just like home from the minute we walked in! We enjoyed daily walks around the neighborhood and surrounding vineyards, delicious dinners on the grill in the evening, and of course a daily visit to the spa like backyard for a soak in the hot tub. The location is superb, you can walk to everything (grocery store, downtown St. Helena, tasting rooms, movie theater, etc.) there were days we didn't even move the car. The linens and towels were exceptional and your attentiveness and quick responses exceed all expectations.
We stayed at this beautiful home for the month of July and all I can say is that this home and yard are amazing in every way! The home was so warm and inviting with all the amenities that one can think of. We loved the comfortable beds and the washrooms were perfect. I could go on and on about how great the house is, but wanted to leave room for saying how we felt like we were at a private 5 star boutique hotel when we were in the backyard. The pool and hot tub are amazing, the seating area and table and chairs were perfect, and we loved the outdoor shower. The location of the home was key! We really enjoyed being so close and just walking into town for morning Latte, afternoon stroll down main street and also to some restaurants for dinner. St. Helena is for sure the place you want to be for your Napa holiday. Thank you Mila and Tyler for sharing your home with us. You were amazing hosts that cared so much that we were looked after and that we were happy with everything. Our stay at your home exceeded our expectations in every way!!
We just spent another February in Mila & Tyler's lovely, warm, delightful, very special home - our favorite spot to stay now in St. Helena, where we have been coming for over 20 years. At this point, we feel like it is our very own home that we "share" with Mila and Tyler whenever we can. If you are coming to the wine country, and can stay awhile, don't miss it. I am a VERY picky vacation home renter, and this one is a real winner - comfortable yet stylish, very livable and inviting - and the backyard, pool and spa are incredible! We had superb weather and were outdoors most of our entire month-long stay - out in the back yard relaxing and/or using the strong WIFI throughout the yard, walking through the vineyards, walking to a great restaurant for another great meal (yes, you can walk anywhere in St. Helena in minutes!), or grilling at home in the lovely spa-like back yard. The pool truly looks like a photo from the Four Seasons, with 4 loungers, large umbrellas, a secluded spa tucked around the corner in a private nook, comfy wicker seating/conversation areas plus a dining table + 8 folding teak chairs for easy outdoor dining under the wisteria-covered pergola. Divine! And my husband and I can't say enough about the responsiveness of the owners, Mila & Tyler, and consider them to be friends now. We feel like locals now, and always feel immediately at home when we arrive at this blissful spot in the heart of the very best town in Napa Valley… highly recommended!!
this gorgeous home is a ten star retreat (though the scale only goes to 5, that's how spectacular it is) replete with a fabulous kitchen, super comfortable beds (and i am picky on this one,) great showers and fuzzy bathrobes, a pool that makes one exhale just looking at it from the comfortable lounge chairs beside it, each with its own sun umbrella, beautiful outdoor and indoor entertaining and dining spaces, luxurious private hot tub and outdoor shower in a garden setting, and gorgeous flora everywhere including a voluminous fig tree and flowering wisteria covering the trellis ensconced outdoor entertaining area. all of this is a short walk into town with fabulous restaurants and a great little bike shop. road cycling in this area is to die for. amazing wineries are close by. while there is no reason to spa anywhere else but the house, i would recommend calistoga for the farmer's market. we were there for a girls reunion, but this is a romantic and intimate spot that would serve well for good friends, families, and couples alike. the owners, mila and tyler, are super responsive and were clearly invested in their home and in our having a great experience there. i will be back. highly recommend!!
This home is a true gem!
Ideal location and beautifully decoratedwith confortable beds and powerful showers.
A small walk and you're in the center of St Helena.
This resort style home resembles a 5 star hotel with all its amenities including a fantastic heated pool and jacuzzi.
The kitchen is fully stocked and the bedrooms are very comfy and stylish.
The owners are very responsive and always available for any recommendations
We've been all over the world and also rent our second home and this home
sits on the top of the most memorable.
We would love to book again very soon, its spotless clean, safe and peaceful. Highly
recommended for couples and families alike.
Thank you for allowing us to experience your beautiful home.
