About this property

Gorgeous, Spacious Historic Home with Breakfast

Welcome to Inn St. Helena, a #1 Bed and Breakfast in the town of Saint Helena! We invite you to experience the warm hospitality of our historic inn nestled in the perfect Napa Valley location.

This listing is for the entire 5 bedroom main home, called Ambrose Bierce House, with full service provided: a 3-course breakfast and daily maid service.

We are licensed to rent out for short term rentals. Some of the listings on here may not be allowed to do so and could put your trip in jeopardy if the county cracks down.

You will have access to the entire inn except the kitchen and office area which is separated from the rest of the home.

If you need an additional room, there is a private studio apartment with 2 beds and 1 bath above the garage available for an additional cost. This loft has two queen beds, well-equipped kitchen, dining, and sitting area. Did I mention that the private bathroom comes with a steam bath! That studio listing is vrbo.com/963559.

For an even bigger group, you can consider booking our 3 Bed, 3 Bath Cottage House located right next door. That listing is vrbo.com/488705.

With the entire inn (Main House, Studio, and Cottage House), you will get 8 guest rooms, with one of them being a 2-bedroom suite. In total, we can accommodate 20 people (2 people per bed) in actual beds and perhaps 2 more on a sofa bed. Guest do not have access to the kitchen in the Main House, but will have use of a kitchen if you added either Cottage House or Loft Studio.

A little slice of heaven
The Inn at St. Helena was the perfect property for a girls trip to celebrate a friend’s 50th birthday. Nestled in the heart of St. Helena, the property was within walking distance to all the cute shops and restaurants in the downtown area. The property was quaint, the breakfast was amazing, and the beds were super comfy. Highly recommend!

Charming!
This house was perfect for our family of 10! Our favorite features were the upstairs front porch for coffee in the morning, the large kitchen table that we could all gather around enjoying the wonderful food prepared by the fabulous master chef! Super quaint and charming!

Amazing wine week with friends
I can’t express what a wonderful time we had at this lovely B&B. Everything was beautiful and clean. The pictures of the listing were accurate. Patrice was a wonderful hostess. She made everything perfect. We all felt so welcomed. Patrice served us a wonderful breakfast and took into consideration our gluten-free guest with no problem. It is located within walking distance to many stores and restaurants. There is a lovely sitting room where we all gathered in the morning and the evening for coffee, tea or wine. There is also plenty of outdoor seating with a lovely swing on the front porch. We all hope to return to St. Helena and will definitely be staying here again. Thank you so much, Patrice for making our stay perfect.
