The home has AC in the three upstairs bedrooms. The downstairs does not have AC.

City of St. Helena Short-Term Rental Permit # PL19 - 013V

The downstairs has a large front room, a dining room and a separate parlor that is great for gathering around the fireplace with family and friends. There is a large wrap around porch that has two twin beds, which also have a view of the vineyards. The porch is also a wonderful place to dine on warm summer evenings. The downstairs living area does not have AC. This area stays fairly cool on warm days and nights. We do have portable fans, if needed.

I'm available 24 hours during your stay

Easy walk to downtown St. Helena.

Please note we are required by the city of Saint Helena to collect a 13% Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) which is included in the price per night.

Perfect couples getaway!

The St. Helena House was the perfect spot to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday with friends. There was plenty of room to socialize inside and out, and it was a quick walk to town. I would definitely recommend for multiple couples!

Great location, home, and host

The home is tucked away in a quiet part of town surrounded by beautiful vineyards but minutes to Main Street. It was spacious, clean, and had so much character! Host was awesome, responsive, and went above to give us recommendations of things to do and eat. Highly recommend!

Fabulous Historic Property

Our family stayed at the St. Helena House while attending a memorial. The house exceeded our expectations. It was beautifully decorated, comfortable, and homey with many wonderful nooks to read, views of the vineyards out of every window, and a beautiful well stocked kitchen. The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms were fine with fluffy towels and plenty of hot water with good water pressure in the showers. The owner was very welcoming and available for any questions. It rained all weekend so we did not get to enjoy the numerous outdoor spaces. I highly recommend this place for a family visit to the Napa Valley. We hated to leave!

Rare, Delightful Napa Country House

We wanted to introduce friends from East Coast to the Napa Valley- history to modern day. This rare restored farmhouse with views of vineyards was ideal. Authentic, comfortable (with just the right amount of modern amenities but not too much to destroy the charm), spacious, wonderfully furnished, with superb kitchen (fully stocked), and screened porches, etc. The hosts were easy to communicate with and would stay again in a heartbeat. We have stayed at 60+ rentals around the world... this unique property ranks with the best.

Amazing house filled with old history

This house was amazing. We will definitely be back. There is so much old history to be found in the house. It is situated right off of a vineyard, which is gorgeous at all times of the day. The house was beautifully stocked, and the host made sure we were more than comfortable. I would recommend this to anyone

Family Wine Week

Upon arrival we found a gift basket full of goodies, fridge full of drinks and a very fun home for our family get together. Check in instructions were easy and accurate. The property was just what we needed for our weekend. We had a great time playing corn hole by the barn and sipping wine at the picnic tables. We will definitely recommend this property to friends! The hosts were attentive but not intrusive. All of it so good!

Amazing home, amazing location

I stayed at Jim’s house during my wedding weekend with a few of my groomsmen and their partners. Big weekend for me obviously, and this house certainly contributed to it living up to the hype. We were welcomed with some snacks, wine, and a fridge full of beverages to our surprise—thanks again Jim! The property itself is beautiful, with great views of the vineyards and tons of areas to sit and lounge outside. The wraparound porch was awesome for hanging out too when we got bit too toasty outside. All the beds were comfortable for me and my guests, and the living spaces were quite comfy too. Additionally, the charm and history this house possesses is one of a kind. You truly feel like you’re getting that true, vintage Napa Valley experience. And, you can’t beat this location: you feel like you’re out in the country yet a few minutes from downtown St. Helena. Overall, this house was amazing and perfect for our group. I’d highly recommend it to others and would love to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by owner

Host profile image
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay area, but now live in Napa Valley and have for thirty-four years. As a child I spent many weekends visiting our family home in St. Helena.

Why they chose this property

This house has been in our family for over eighty years. The house was built in the 1880's and my great-uncle purchased it in 1935 from a historical Napa Valley wine family. People have always loved gathering at the St. Helena house and we want that to continue for generations to come.

What makes this property unique

The wrap around porch has been the setting for many wonderful dinners over the years. Sitting on the porch eating and drinking wine, while at the same time looking over the vineyards along with the views of the eastern mountains - Priceless!
