A fully renovated 2,800-square-foot ranch home on 12 private acres in pristine Knights Valley, where corner windows, three wood-burning fireplaces, and a hot tub frame panoramic views of Mount Saint Helena and the surrounding vineyards. Some properties earn their place in guests' memories through grand gestures — a long driveway, an impressive gate, a dramatic entry. Morlet Montview House earns its place differently: through the moment you settle into the living room, look up, and realize that the corner windows framing Mount Saint Helena and the surrounding vineyard landscape were designed with exactly this moment in mind. The view here is not incidental. It is the architecture. Built in 1985 and entirely and meticulously renovated in 2020, this 2,800-square-foot ranch home sits on a fenced and gated 12-acre property in the pristine Knights Valley, just five minutes north of Calistoga. The renovation retained the home's generous single-floorplan openness while introducing a level of refinement — modern corner windows at all four corners of the house, three wood-burning fireplaces, Viking and Miele kitchen appliances — that makes it feel at once deeply rooted in its landscape and unmistakably contemporary. The open floorplan flows from a large formal living room — anchored by a baby-grand piano — through a formal dining room and into a gourmet kitchen where Viking and Miele appliances, a wine cooler, and thoughtful storage make cooking for a group as pleasurable as eating out. A casual dining area bridges kitchen and living spaces with the ease that great social homes always manage. The master bedroom is ensuite; two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed second bath. A laundry room with sink rounds out a home that is genuinely equipped for extended stays. Outside, a 500-square-foot patio delivers a panoramic sweep across Mount Saint Helena, Black Mountain, and the vineyard floor below — one of the widest unobstructed views of any property in the Mayastoga portfolio. A newly installed hot tub occupies prime position on that view, making evenings here a sensory event regardless of the season. A large shaded picnic area with its own 180-degree panoramic vantage completes an outdoor offering that rewards hours of unhurried use. Three wood-burning fireplaces — one of which is a rarely found luxury in a property of this scale — ensure that the Montview House is as compelling in January as it is in September, and as suited to a romantic winter weekend as to a summer harvest visit.Calistoga's spas, restaurants, and world-class wineries are five minutes away. Knights Valley's own exceptional tasting rooms are closer still. Sleeps 6 · 3 bedrooms · 2 bathrooms · 2,800 sq ft · 12 acres · Private hot tub · Baby-grand piano · Pets welcome (with fee)
Morlet Montview House was architecturally designed around its view — and it shows. The modern corner windows at all four corners of the house deliver a panoramic sweep of Mount Saint Helena and Knights Valley vineyards that few properties at any price point in the Mayastoga portfolio can rival. Fully renovated in 2020 with Viking and Miele appliances, three wood-burning fireplaces, and a hot tub positioned directly in the sightline, this is the definitive choice for guests who want nature and refinement in equal, generous measure.

Calistoga sits at the northern tip of the Napa Valley floor, where the Mayacamas and Vaca mountain ranges converge to create one of California's most dramatic and celebrated wine country settings. It's a town that moves at its own unhurried pace — small enough to feel intimate, yet rich enough in world-class experiences to fill a week without repeating yourself. From the property, you're within minutes of some of Napa Valley's most iconic wineries — Chateau Montelena, Castello di Amorosa, and Sterling Vineyards among them — as well as the boutique tasting rooms that line the Silverado Trail and Highway 29 corridor. St. Helena, home to Michelin-starred dining and high-end shopping, is a short drive south. Calistoga is also unique in Napa Valley for its natural geothermal hot springs. World-famous spa destinations including Indian Springs, Dr. Wilkinson's, and Calistoga Spa Hot Springs are all within easy reach, making this an ideal base for guests who want to combine wine tasting with genuine relaxation and rejuvenation. Downtown Calistoga's Lincoln Avenue offers a walkable stretch of locally owned restaurants, wine bars, and boutique shops — an easy evening stroll after a day in the vineyards.
The nearest commercial airports are Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport (STS) approximately 45 minutes away and is served by American, Alaska, and Southwest. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) approximately 90 minutes south. Oakland International Airport (OAK) is also a reasonable option at roughly 80 minutes.
A car is the best way to experience Napa Valley, and most guests choose to drive or arrange a private car service for the duration of their stay. Having your own vehicle gives you the freedom to explore wineries along the Silverado Trail and Highway 29 at your own pace — which is really the only way to do wine country properly. If you plan to spend your days tasting, we strongly recommend arranging a private driver or wine tour vehicle in advance. Our concierge team can connect you with trusted local providers who specialize in full-day winery tours and private transportation — just ask when you book. Rideshare services including Uber and Lyft operate in the area, though availability can be limited in the evenings and on weekends, particularly in the more rural parts of the valley. We recommend not relying on rideshare as your primary transportation plan. Calistoga's downtown Lincoln Avenue is walkable from some of our properties, with restaurants, wine bars, and shops all within easy reach on foot.
