We stayed in the Bateau unit, and found it to be pleasant enough. The Chien Blanc appears to be exist in a 3-unit-apartment, that is now used for overnight accomodations, rather than month-to-month tenant occupancy. We stayed in the Bateau, the front unit closest to the street. Kitchen is well-supplied with dishes, the bathroom is small and dated, we were... more

We stayed here for 3 nights on our trip to the Napa area. We were doind a road trip through California and we stayed in various accom. I agree that good affordable accom in Napa is very hard too find. We stayed in the 'Avignon' bungalow and it was very nice with a private courtyard, 1 bedroom with separate sleep-out... more

We stayed in the cottage called Bateau. It was comfortable and funky, a very fun place. However, we had just come from Monterey where we stayed in a B&B called the "Old Monterey Inn" for essentially the same price (within 30 dollars for the night), and there was no comparison. We would give our experience a "4" if we had... more

Beautiful garden and delicious breakfast! We stayed at the 'bungalows' next door to chelsea garden (separately called chien blanc) but also took advantage of the pool at chelsea. The rooms were the perfect size for my husband, daughter, and me. Jennie, the hostess, is a sweetheart and a great cook. Don't pass it up! more

Not a bad little place for a few nights. The heater was noisy and the shower pressure a little weak, but these things didn't bother me too much. The walls are THIN. We heard the couple next door getting busy and we did feel like we had to have quiet conversations in the evening as to not disturb the other... more

If your looking for a place to stay that is within walking distance of the main street thru Calistoga, Chien Blanc is at a great location. We stayed in the Bateau Bungalow. It is a small unit on the end of three. It is not like a usual hotel room, it is a small house which appears to have been... more

Unlike other reviews, our stay was bit unpleasant. If you are looking for all modern air conditioned with unlimited supply of hot water, this is not a place for you. Only the bed room had an air conditioner (old skool, very noisy one) and we couldn't stand the heat in other rooms even at night. When we decided to fill... more

Chien Blanc is our kind of place to stay. It's clean, very comfortable, compact, private, and like a home away from home. In addition, it is 2 streets away from the main street, which means that it is close to everything BUT, we didn't experience any street noise. Our friends, who stayed at a very expensive B&B right on the... more

We had a wonderful time. Spent the weekend in our own private little bungalow. You can walk to pretty much any restaurant or spa in town. Well maintained and comfortable. Would highly recommend this and would stay there again. more
