About this property
Ambrose Bierce House
Experience the epitome of Napa Valley charm at Inn St. Helena. Nestled amidst scenic hills, majestic redwoods, and lush vineyards, our historic boutique bed and breakfast offers a quaint retreat in the heart of downtown St. Helena.
With two charming buildings connected by a shared driveway, our inn features a total of eight cozy rooms and suites, each exuding its own unique character and charm. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family reunion, or a group retreat, our flexible floor plan allows you to tailor your stay to your exact needs. Choose from a single room to an exclusive house with three, four, or five bedrooms, accommodating up to 20 guests. Welcome to the Inn St. Helena! We invite you to experience the warm and enthusiastic hospitality of our historic inn nestled in the perfect winery location. Built in 1872, this historic Ambrose Bierce House offers a unique blend of classic charm and modern amenities. This enchanting house features 5 bedrooms; three of these bedrooms boast private bathrooms and all the comforts you could desire. The other two are part of a 2-bedroom suite sharing a Jack-and-Jill style bathroom, ideal for families or groups.
Upon arriving at the house, guests are greeted by a lush front garden, where a majestic redwood tree stands as a serene sentinel, offering shade and beauty. This picturesque setting is perfect for leisurely strolls or simply enjoying the tranquility of nature.
The house also features a spacious parlor for relaxing, a cozy balcony complete with a porch swing and chairs—perfect for enjoying the serene surroundings. Our celebrated dining room is known for its friendly atmosphere and serves a daily breakfast exclusively for guests, as the kitchen is reserved for the innkeeper's use.
Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley, our location is second to none, surrounded by some of the finest wineries, with several within walking distance. Additionally, a couple of the rooms are enhanced by the warm glow of fireplaces, adding to the cozy, welcoming ambiance of the house. Whether you're here to explore the vineyards or simply unwind, Ambrose Bierce House promises a memorable stay.
If you have a large party, we have additional accommodation at our Cottage House and at our Loft Studio. Please reach out to our Front Desk at Inn St. Helena for multi-unit rental inquiry. Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
