Our stay at 1801 was wonderful! We knew we would be arriving after check-in hours, and the owner was very nice about making arrangements with us to still get our key. The breakfast was wonderful each morning, and their were always cookies out throughout the day for a little snack. The bed and pillows were super comfortable! There is a lovely garden area to enjoy and the lots of pretty hibiscus and orange trees on property. It's also nice easy walk to downtown Napa. Loved it here!

We spent a weekend in Napa and took a chance on a place to stay that we were not familiar with - we have a place to stay now! Shared the info with my family and friends.

Everything about our stay was great, except that we were looking forward to having a fireplace in our room but the fireplace wasn't working. Other than that, all other amenities, the food, the decor, the ambiance - all of it was great! It was a nice, festive place to stay over a holiday weekend!

We had the best stay in Napa for our 30th anniversary! 1801 First Luxury Inn is the perfect place to stay for that more intimate experience. The house is so homey and inviting. We were able to walk to a number of tasting rooms and restaurants. The Inn was quiet and offered great breakfast options. The evening wine socials in the garden area were a nice touch, as well! The staff was so friendly and we would stay here again for sure! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!!

My husband and I were delighted with our stay at the 1801 First Luxury Inn in Napa! Blair and Carrie were excellent hosts, and their assistant, Laura, was also great. The suite we had (#2) was beautiful, quiet, and comfortable. The daily breakfasts were delicious, and the evening eine hour was very enjoyable. All in all, we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend 1801 First!

Blair and Carrie made our visit exceptional. It was our anniversary. They made great recommendations, great restaurant reservations. The breakfasts and evening wine gatherings were tremendous. A colleague from work recommended them… now I know why. Definitely returning!

The owner hosts wine tasting on Friday night and it was wonderful. The breakfast is top notch with fresh baked sweets to go with the meal. Always coffee available. There were plenty of amenities and it was easy enough to walk around everywhere.

They put us in a "suite" on the ground floor, like right in front of the entrance and outside the breakfast area. It was extremely loud, especially in the mornings when we wanted to sleep in. You could hear other guests and the clean staff vacuuming close by. The owner, Lauren, runs around stomping with her high heels during breakfast to serve the guests. Again, not my idea of relaxing. We asked for a late check out at 1:30pm and Lauren laughed in my face and said she would allow us to check out at 1pm instead. It was nice of them to accommodate but I don't think she needed to laugh in my face at my request. The breakfast was good and I enjoyed the cookies they left out for the guests in the dining area. The room was clean but we did not allow anyone to enter to clean the room because the room did not have a safe to store our valuables. I do not recommend if you're looking for something relaxing. If you're going to wake up early and go out and about then this does the job.

Very nice B&B close to everything
Very nice stay in updated 1900's house. Room was classic but with modern amenities including tub and large shower. Service was excellent. Breakfast was excellent at would have cost $40-50 at a restaurant for the two of us. Walking distance to downtown Napa and a quick Uber to many wineries. We usually stay in more contemporary properties but this Inn really changed our view on classic B&Bs.

Beautiful home, much larger than it appears. Our room was spacious and the host was sweet, polite and accommodating. She seemed very interested in you enjoying your stay. While there may have been 10 or more guests there she remembered our names, it is a lovely property. The breakfasts were awesome, and the late afternoon wine social was lovely. We had other choices, we are so happy we stayed here. Thank you Kerry, we would love to return. Thanks for a great experience... Robert and Jennifer.

Lovely Victorian house within walking distance to downtown Napa. Loved the complimentary wine, cheese and conversation at the 5:30pm happy hour. Very good breakfast and hospitable hosts. I hope to be able to come again when I can stay longer! The only minor issue was that we kept losing the wi/fi signal in our garden room.

Unique place to make your trip memorable
Stayed in the Carriage House for a bit more privacy. It was a large space. We enjoyed our stay very much. Breakfast and coffee was excellent! Each evening you select one of three breakfast options for the next morning. We saw a variety of couples from younger to older. It was nice meeting the other couples at breakfast and chatting a little.

Very friendly staff. Great variety and quality of included breakfasts. Location ideal to walk to many restaurants and tasting rooms. Bed was comfy and room and bath spacious. Coffee, tea, cookies available 24/7. Couldn’t have had a better experience (maybe if Wi-Fi was better)

Checked in and was provided a different room than was reserved. Brought the issue up with Blair. He explained there were issues. No problem. Showed us the only other room which was smaller but away from the busy street. Wife lost her earing back in the sink drain and Jim took care of finding it, apparently breaking the pipe which had to be replaced we were told. Thanks again for finding the earing back Jim. The nice lady serving breakfast and evening wine was sweet and had a great personality. After check out the following day I noticed an additional charge for $96.xx and called. Terri, explained it was for the white wine, red wine and tonic water which we took from the hotel room. We had thought they were complimentary... apparently not. Didn't see any signs explaining that the bottles were not included like the sodas and water in the fridge were. There was a sign showing $100 per robe if we wanted to purchase one but again, no signs showing the wine/tonic water pricing etc. Other than that we met some really nice couples and the location is an easy walk to downtown.

Makes you feel like family
Our first BnB experience and we loved it! 1801 is a must stay when in Napa. The Inn is gorgeous and very welcoming. Absolutely the nicest owners and staff. Only there for 3 nights but felt like family. We can't wait to revisit soon. This will be our go to when in Napa. Close to all and terrific freeway, winery and shopping access. Don't miss this excellent Inn

This was our first stay at this property and we tend to be more 'hotel' people than 'B&B' people. That said, we would definitely stay here again. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The owner, Carrie, was extremely friendly and nice. Literally, the only thing that wasn't great was the parking...It was very tight, but we never had a problem getting our car in...You just need to be careful. Bottom line, my wife and I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family without hesitation!!

The Inn was very romantic, cozy and welcoming. Carrie surprised us with truffles and an anniversary card to make our stay that much more special! Beautiful room and breakfast was very delicious! Location is very close to downtown Napa. The room we stayed in on the 1st floor did have some traffic noise due to the main roads. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to others.

Wonderful Experience
Our stay at the 1801 was a wonderful experience. We were going to arrive late, so the owner called us to explain how to get in, and also left us some chocolates and a couple glasses of wine in our room. The other staff members were also all very friendly, and the breakfasts were wonderful. The location is perfect - just a short walk to great shopping and restaurants. Overall, a great place to stay for your Napa experience.
