About this property
Ambrose Bierce House
Welcome to Inn St. Helena, a #1 Bed and Breakfast in the town of Saint Helena! We invite you to experience the warm hospitality of our historic inn nestled in the perfect Napa Valley location.
This listing is for the entire 5 bedroom main home, called Ambrose Bierce House, with full service provided: a 3-course breakfast and daily maid service.
We are licensed to rent out for short term rentals. Some of the listings on here may not be allowed to do so and could put your trip in jeopardy if the county cracks down.
You will have access to the entire inn except the kitchen and office area which is separated from the rest of the home.
If you need an additional room, there is a private studio apartment with 2 beds and 1 bath above the garage available for an additional cost. This loft has two queen beds, well-equipped kitchen, dining, and sitting area. Did I mention that the private bathroom comes with a steam bath! That studio listing is vrbo.com/
For an even bigger group, you can consider booking our 3 Bed, 3 Bath Cottage House located right next door. That listing is vrbo.com/488705.
With the entire inn (Main House, Studio, and Cottage House), you will get 8 guest rooms, with one of them being a 2-bedroom suite. In total, we can accommodate 20 people (2 people per bed) in actual beds and perhaps 2 more on a sofa bed. Guest do not have access to the kitchen in the Main House, but will have use of a kitchen if you added either Cottage House or Loft Studio.
