Item Description

Howell Mountain is home to a rich tapestry of rolling hills and microclimates that produce some of the best wines in Napa.  Nestled among the top of this mountain, amid a sprawling five-acres of Sauvignon Cabernet vines, sits a charming craftsman’s guest house, your home base to an authentic Napa Valley retreat.

Forget the suggestive pretensions of the valley’s typical tourist experience. The delightful Clif Family Cold Springs property embraces the heart of wine country, with every bit of luxurious authenticity. In this stylish 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom guesthouse with its signature artisan aesthetic, your party of six will wake up to the quiet mumblings of nature that extend along twenty-two acres of this gorgeous winemaker’s property. Languish the morning hours away in the timeless ambience of your verdant surroundings…but remember you are in Napa and there are tastings to be had! Start your day with Clif Family Winery estate sales manager, Jeff Blaum, as he guides you through his choice of estate wine with their very own Clif kitchen pairings. Jeff will share his extensive knowledge of the region, and if you’d like, he will book your tasting appointments at the best of Napa’s boutique wineries.

Explore the valley to your heart’s content, but don’t forget to retire to your guesthouse with your favorite bottle(s) and some local market items. Your house’s beautiful kitchen and outdoor patio is a perfect way to wrap up your day in true Napa style. Just as the sun sets and invites the refreshing chill of the mountain air, turn your attention to the night sky as you melt in the warm glow of the outdoor fire pit, or the steaming waters of the property’s hot tub. Prepare to retire to the comforts of your bed for a peaceful night’s sleep like never before.  

Wake. Repeat. Another unforgettable day awaits, whether you continue exploring the finest of the valley’s terroir, or perhaps indulging in the luxurious comforts of this unforgettable Howell Mountain retreat.
