The owners of the Wine Way Inn adapted a 1912 Craftsman house to create a mid-range bed-and-breakfast for visitors to Calistoga, a town located on the North end of Napa Valley. With 50 wineries within a five-mile radius, this property appeals to visiting oenophiles and those just sipping their way through the countryside. The five guest rooms are decorated with arts-and-crafts-style furnishings, but some of the bathrooms are a bit cramped. The generous breakfast gets positive marks. By comparison, the Wine Country Inn offers a more upscale B&B experience with individual cottages at several times the price.

The Chanric Inn is a seven-room bed-and-breakfast in a luxurious Victorian house. It's on a main boulevard on the outskirts of Calistoga, with impressive landscaping and a front porch that insulates it from most of the local traffic. Around back there's a pool and a garden patio, and the owners grow much of the produce used in their cuisine on the grounds. The rooms are small and lack TVs, but are impeccably decorated, and rates include a gourmet home-cooked breakfast. Guests looking for more privacy can find private cottages (and cheaper rates) at the Cottage Grove Inn on the north end of town, but the Chanric Inn's breakfast is tough to match.

While the Best Western Plus Stevenson Manor Inn is more about value than luxury, the 34 rooms are clean and spacious, with modern amenities such as iPod docks and flat-screen TVs, as well as contemporary decor -- mostly in tan, chocolate, gray, and cream hues. The main areas of the hotel, including the simple pool and tiny breakfast area are nothing to write home about. It's the convenient location of this hotel that's the real draw here -- walking to downtown Calistoga or driving to wineries in St. Helena and along the Silverado Trail is a breeze.

Cottage Grove Inn is a mid-range property tucked away on a leafy lot along Calistoga's main street, a few blocks from the center of town. Each of the 17 individual cottages has a quaint porch with rocking chairs and a studio-like interior with skylights and a wood-burning fireplace. Unlike many area hotels there are no mineral springs here -- or even a spa -- but in-room massages are available. Breakfast with waffles and evening wine are included in the rates. Across the street, the much larger Indian Springs Resort and Spa also has private cottages, as well as multiple pools fed by the area's hot springs.

The Craftsman Inn is a small, upper-middle-range bed-and-breakfast with just five rooms in a restored Craftsman bungalow. The bed-and-breakfast has a front porch and a backyard cabana, along with a cozy living room and dining room where a free homemade hot breakfast is served each morning. The modern rooms retain the house's unique architectural details, but they're on the small side and children aren't allowed in some. Two blocks away, the Wine Way Inn -- owned by the same people -- has similar amenities. Alternatively, guests looking for more privacy can find private cottages at the Cottage Grove Inn on the north end of town.

Located in the picturesque area of Northern Napa Valley, Solage Calistoga is an ultra-chic, modern property featuring 89 separate bungalow homes with semi-private patios. The upscale, contemporary atmosphere exists throughout the hotel: Studios and suites all have high-vaulted ceilings and polished cement floors, and some -- such as the Capella Suite -- even have gas fireplaces, which add a warm touch to what some might consider cold decor. Bathrooms are clean, with sleek finishes, large soaking tubs, and walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads. The on-site restaurant, Solbar, is Michelin-starred, and features outdoor lounge seating shaded by trees and centered around a long water feature with a fire pit. There are two pools, as well as private cabanas and a poolside foosball table. Other perks include use of a loaner Mercedes-Benz SUV, or the modern, well-sized fitness center that has outdoor equipment. The hotel can experience noise from on-site events, but Solage Calistoga is ultimately an understated, peaceful getaway.

The remodeled rooms, suites, and cottages at the Mount View Hotel & Spa have a boutique feel, with hip, trendy accents mixed with dark sleek furniture. But beware: The rooms (and baths) are a little on the small side for an upper-middle-range hotel. The connected restaurant and wine bar are always lively, and the hotel's location in the heart of charming Calistoga puts guests within walking distance of plenty of action -- or, if you prefer, you can relax at the hotel's full-service spa. Just don't expect breathtaking views -- you won't be in the middle of a scenic vineyard. You're more likely to be looking at a parking lot.

The Calistoga Spa Hot Springs is a mid-range hotel located on the site of geothermal mineral pools that feed into a whirlpool, a soaking pool, and large lap pool. Day visitors are allowed, although the hotel puts a limit on how many outside guests can enter. The 57 motel-style rooms were updated in 2015, and all have kitchenettes with two-burner stovetops and coffeemakers. There's no food offered here other than a snack bar, though it's walking distance to restaurants on main street. Visitors may want to compare rates with the Roman Spa Hot Springs Resort, which has older decor but more room options along with an indoor pool.
