Tucked on a hillside just off Highway 128, one block from downtown Calistoga, this adults-only zen retreat—with a mini nature reserve– featuring concrete pagodas, a lily pond, stone pavers, and a wooden footbridge—is a veritable love letter to Japan. Here, you can expect to rub elbows (though with so much privacy and space, not literally) with local, high-profile wine industry veterans, or honeymooners from around the globe seeking a luxe, off-the-beaten-path experience. None of the seven suites and rooms are alike, with individual touches and artwork like framed kimonos, antique Japanese scrolls, a table lamp made of corn, and 3D folded book origami. You’ll be lulled to sleep at night by the gentle swishing of trees and the euphonic sound of frogs in the outdoor lily pond.
