I just came back from a long weekend at Aurora Cottages and I can't seem to shake the magic spell it cast over me. Not that I want to, but It was one of the most memorable places I have stayed in. I saw and felt all the details that goes into making you, their guests VERY welcome, cozy and oh so pampered!The landscape outside will make you sigh when you pull up... Then your first view of the cottage makes you smile and know you just found a little slice of heaven!!

Aurora Park Cottages was the perfect location for us when visiting wine country. Calistoga is a great little town and has everything you need. Aurora Park Cottages also has everything you need -- details tended to in every aspect by Innkeepers Celeste and Joe. Luxury, comfort and privacy. When we return to wine country again, this is where we will stay. Highly recommended. Paul & Cheryl

This place is a real gem. They came recommended and our expectations were met, and exceeded. The service was fantastic and the place absolutely lovely. We came for my wife's 30th (surprise) Bday, and we were presented with a Happy Bday card and champagne. What a treat! The lady was blown away, as was I. The continental breakfast was to die for. We'll be coming back next year. Highly recommended B&B.

My husband and I spent our 5th anniversary in wine country and these cottages were perfect! The breakfast was delightful, the sheets were luxurious and the inn keepers did everything to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Stay here and you won't go wrong!

We recently stayed at the Aurora Park Cottages in Calistoga and had wonderful experience. The cottages are charming and cozy. They are spotlessly clean and comfortable. The fresh-baked pastries served warm in a basket on the cottage porches are delicious. The cottages are an easy walk into downtown Calistoga. The innkeepers, Joe and Celeste, are very knowledgeable about the area and a very gracious hosts. We highly recommend staying at this inn.

We celebrated our first year anniversary together at Aurora Park with great anticipation. The accommodations and experience were professional and wonderful at Aurora Park. The owners pleasantly treated us as if we were family during our stay. When we entered our cottage there was champagne and chocolate already waiting for us to devour before we even started unpacking. It was a great way to begin our anniversary celebrations. The cottages themselves are perfectly sized and have every amenity we needed for our stay. The mini iron and stand was very convenient for those fancy evenings out on the town or wine tasting. The beds were amazingly comfortable and ensured our sleep was free of unrest, and full of velvet dreams of the next day’s activities. We enjoyed the cloud soft bath robes for those lazy mornings while enjoying our very healthy and delicious breakfast, which was delivered to our door every morning. Aurora Park is conveniently located to every popular attraction in the area, which streamlined our schedule and allowed us to explore all the different areas in the short amount of time we had in Calistoga. The owners (Celeste and Joe) were very friendly, accommodating and always had suggestions for different restaurants in the area to try out. If you are going on the Calistoga Hot Air Balloon trip the staff will arrive at your door to pick you up... if you mention you are staying at Aurora Park. We will always remember our perfect 1st year anniversary at Aurora Park.

We stayed here recently for my wife's birthday. She loved it! Which means I loved it. Simply put, they made me look good. The rooms are minimally, but perfectly appointed. Everything in there is well thought out and top notch. If you're looking for the perfect romantic getaway, look no further.

This place was awesome! The cabins are clean, the bed is big and comfy. There are two overstuffed chairs with a giant ottoman in the room. The owners know all of the local attractions and have great recommendations for guests. The pastries included in the morning breakfast were to die for. We live in the East Bay and plan on making this our regular stop when we go to Calistoga.

This is the first time we have visited the Napa Valley. We will not stay anywhere else. Warm, comfortable, beautiful. The room decor and furniture is just perfect for a cottage. The attention to detail, coffee, little refrigerator, porch with table and chairs, spotless. Friendly, and wonderful. This is it for us.

You may arrive a stranger but you depart a fan… and a friend when you stay at Aurora Park Cottages and have the pleasure of meeting Celeste Ford and Joe Hensley. The cottages are perfect in size and beautifully appointed. The bed and chairs are comfortable and inviting, with a soft plush blanket on the chair, delicious coffee in the room and ample magazines to read while you relax. Added touches like sumptuous moss green robes in the closet, fresh crisp green apples on a platter, biscotti with your coffee cup and chilled bottled water in the room add to the sense of something ‘special’ when you stay at Aurora Park Cottages. Celeste's and Joe's attention to detail is noticeable and appreciated. Their warm and welcoming attitude make a great experience an extraordinary visit to Napa Valley.

We can’t say enough good things about our stay at Aurora Park Cottages during the weekend of October 15th. Joe and Celeste are wonderful innkeepers and make your stay as comfortable, informative and enjoyable as possible. The directions on their website and printed materials are spot on. Once there and checked in you enjoy the ambience of your own personal cottage complete with very comfortable bed, 2 wonderful overstuffed chairs, nice eating area with high top table and chairs, coffee from a local Calistoga roastery (be sure and stop in town to meet the owner), a fridge and separate bath with shower. Each cottage has it’s own deck with recliner and table and chairs and separate parking. We enjoyed sitting on our deck and watching the sunset light up Mt Helena across the valley. The colors were beautiful with the vines and leaves changing color. Joe and Celeste are wonderful innkeepers and will provide you with discount coupons, private tastings and much knowledge and insight into the local wineries. We spent 5 days touring and tasting and never travelled farther than 15 miles. There are so many wineries to visit that you won’t be going far. We have to mention the help that Tom at the Wine Stop in Calistoga gave to us. He arranges tastings of local winemakers who don’t have their own tasting rooms and we enjoyed so much of one winemakers wine (Dave Chelsea) that we purchased 2 cases of his wine. Tom was very helpful in providing bottles of wine for us, shipping cases that we bought at wineries and just generally being another fount of knowledge. Before closing, I have to mention the wonderful breakfasts that Joe provides each morning. He bakes and delivers wonderful pastries, fruit and juice to your cottage. It was a wonderful start to our day. Aurora Park Cottages was a wonderful place to spend 6 days. We will be back.
