Where to Stay
What began as a family home for a prominent local merchant, James H. Francis, The Francis House property became a landmark for the city of Calistoga. Built in 1886, it is the only stone building with authentic French Second Empire architecture in Napa County. In 2015, Dina and Richard Dwyer stumbled upon this unique house online. Over the next three years, Dina and Richard carefully restored and redesigned the house preserving its former glory — every detail a deliberate choice. This special Napa Valley bed and breakfast property exemplifies contemporary luxury in an elegant old world setting.
