Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Inn on First. From the time of booking to the time we left the service was outstanding. Home, room, location, food all wonderful . Pictures looked just like the room/house. No surprises.

This is my second time staying with Jim and Jamie at the Inn on First. My companion was less than thrilled at the idea of staying at a B&B.... I think "torture" was the first word that popped into his head when I told him we'd be staying there. He's a business traveler and is accustomed to the big chains.... More

Dear GatorGirlPammie: We had no idea you had to perform the hard sell in order to get the beau to say with us! Nonetheless we're happy you did as we all enjoyed the Bottleock weekend.

From the charming accommodations, to the amazing homemade works of art the innkeepers call "Breakfast"' this B&B is one of a kind. The kindness and helpfulness of the innkeepers is what truly sets this Inn apart. If you want a truly unique Napa experience ask them for help in planning your meals and activities. You will not be sorry!

We recently stayed in the Incantment room which was lovely, light and roomy. Jim and Jamie couldn't have been more welcoming and informative and the breakfast was spectacular. Also enjoyed the foyer magazines and overall airy feel of this convenient B&B. We are normally hotel people but this reminded us to try more B&Bs in the future...it was exceptional.

Dear Krafty24: Yes!! We've converted two more people to the bed and breakfast experience! This is meaningful as there has been a lot of negative press recently around outdated stereotypes of the bnb world. We're thrilled you enjoyed Jim's breakfasts and felt at home. We're grateful you took the time to post your review as well. Thanks again, Jamie. More

We had a lovely time at the Inn On First! Jim and Jaime are fantastic hosts.

We stayed two nights at the end of April in this beautiful Inn. Our room was extremely spacious and very comfortable. The Inn is beautifully furnished and the gardens are very pretty too.

Breakfast was just lovely. The baked goods, home made granola, and hot dish (pot pie when I was there) made my morning. The room was comfortable. The location was in easy walking distance of the main commerce area.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
We are setting the new standard for the American Bed and Breakfast Inn. This is not an inn for traditional B&B people. We are attracting the next generation who want great food for breakfast, well beyond the traditional omelets, frittatas, and egg bakes of old. This is where you get to experience a chef’s creative innovation each morning, one of his 110 recipes for breakfast, such as Corndog Omelets, Tomato and Egg Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons, or S’mores French Toast with house made Marshmallows.WARNING: we do not cater to people who want to stay connected to the television. We purposely removed all televisions so that couples can enjoy the intimacy of whirlpool tubs in the rooms with gas fireplaces, or sit out in the garden sipping on wine and enjoying great conversation. Yes, WiFi is available for those who feel they must stay connected to the outside world, but our hope is that you will learn to leave all that aside to enjoy great Napa hospitality here at the inn and at the wineries. ... more   less
