Brannan Cottage Inn, Calistoga

This cute little 1860 cottage, complete with the requisite white picket fence, sits on a quiet side street. One of Sam Brannan’s original resort cottages, the inn was restored through a community effort to salvage an important piece of Calistoga’s heritage; it’s now on the National Register of Historic Places. The six spacious rooms are decorated with down comforters and white lace curtains; each room also has a ceiling fan, private bathroom, and its own entrance; three rooms have four-poster beds. There’s a comfortable parlor and a pleasant brick terrace furnished with umbrella tables.
