New land house and the barn are very hard to get into. I just got married on a little ranch it's in upland but has a full open barn for music and dancing. Very reasonable. I also seen a place called The Villa may be Westminster I don't know. Best bet is someone who lives in a nice gated community rent out their clubhouse. Cheap and most are very nice. If u want to see the ranch I have tons of pics.

damontoo replied:
The ones Sammy suggested are the best, but ludicrously priced. I would advise against Meritage. That's a place you go on a business trip. It caters to business clients kind of. Stay in Calistoga at Indian Springs (preferred) or Calistoga Spa. Indian Springs is a very old resort that's held up well and has been remodeled. The grounds are beautiful with oversized hammocks hanging from palm trees, ping pong tables, tennis courts, Badminton, croquet, bocce ball, pool table, chess etc. They have indoor and outdoor lounge areas with fireplaces and an on-site spa that provides all imaginable spa services plus mud baths. But the main feature of this hotel is their pool. They have by far the best pool in the Napa Valley. It's Olympic sized and heated with geothermal from a spring on the property. Not just heated normally, it's like a hot tub. It's basically the largest hot tub you'll ever swim in. If it's too hot there's a newer cold pool as well. The hotel is also right at the end of the downtown strip so you can walk into town for everything you need. [Website.](https://www.indianspringscalistoga.com/) While you're here, I highly recommend you visit Chateau Montelena for their pond, Sterling Vineyard for the view, and/or Castello di Amorosa which is a legit castle that Dario Sattui built for $100M. He imported 300K bricks from Europe for the project. If you guys are fit, hiking the Oat Hill Mine trail provides exceptional views of the valley and is worth checking out. Trails on Mt. Saint Helena are still closed due to the fires. If you decide against my hotels, at least try to book something upvalley. The further north the more authentic the Napa valley experience will be. Avoid anything in Napa the city as it's just a big city with Walmart, fast food etc.
Sammydavisca replied:
I would recommend Yountville-Bardessno Napa-Andaz St.Helen-Meadowood Calistoga-Solage
jbcgop replied:
Any hotel in Younteville I highly recommend. The little town is such a lice of heaven with wonderful vineyards and top restaurants in the world in walking distance. Its also centrally located to get anywhere you need to in Napa. Its probably the most expensive area to stay at... but since its your anniversary go splurge! Hotel Younteville is my favorite.

napaguy81 replied:
If you have the money check this place out- super cool spot. At least eat at the restaurant- the farm. http://www.carnerosresort.com/ Downtown Napa hotels are also pretty cool - https://napa.andaz.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html You can't go wrong at this place either. Great location. A lot of people have said Meritage resort- super nice but a lot of expansion construction going on. They have great spa you should check out in their caves- best spa set up in Napa by far!
Does anyone have good recommendation for a hotel on Catalina Island? Team Over The Top is taking a little trip!!!!
Ivy R. replied:
Whatever you do....beware of the Atwater Hotel!!!! (Don't think it has been renovated since the 1920's)....Hotel Metropole is pretty ritzy....and I have heard good things about Hamilton Cove condos....cheaper to go that route too, as you can eat some meals in!!!
