A fully renovated 2,222-square-foot ranch estate at 1,200 feet above Napa Valley, with panoramic Mayacamas Mountain views, a private Augusta-inspired golf hole, pool, hot tub, 3,000-square-foot deck, and the kind of thoughtful, storied interior details that reward guests who pay attention. There is a moment at Shygusta Ranch — it usually happens on the first evening, on the expansive back deck as the Mayacamas Mountains catch the last of the day's light — when guests understand exactly what kind of property this is. Not merely a well-appointed rental in the hills above Calistoga, but a place with genuine character, accumulated with care, and designed to be lived in rather than simply occupied. Completely renovated in 2020 and set on a private estate at 1,200 feet above the Napa Valley floor on Sharp Road above Calistoga, Shygusta Ranch accommodates up to eight guests across four bedrooms and four bathrooms in 2,222 square feet that feel considerably more generous than their footprint suggests. The vaulted great room — anchored by a 14-foot L-shaped sofa, a 75-inch television, and views that pour through the glass — sets a tone of expansive, unhurried comfort from the moment guests arrive. The interior details are what distinguish Shygusta Ranch from the category of simply very good. A fireplace mantle and wood shelving reclaimed from a historic sailing vessel in Bodega Bay. A stone fireplace crafted from stone sourced from a 200-year-old quarry in Vermont. An electric fireplace imported from England in the family room. These are not decorative gestures — they are the accumulated decisions of an owner who understood that great homes are built from specific, irreplaceable things. The gourmet kitchen, appointed with Thermador appliances and a six-burner gas stove, and the wine fridge and built-in refrigerator that support serious cooking and serious entertaining, complete the picture. Outside, the property's recreational offerings are simply extraordinary for a home of this scale. The custom Augusta-inspired golf hole — a 100-yard par-3 with a 6,000-square-foot green overlooking the horse pasture — is one of the most genuinely surprising and delightful amenities of any property in the Mayastoga portfolio. A pool, hot tub, and a 3,000-square-foot back deck with ample covered dining and lounging space anchor the outdoor experience, while a garage game room with pool table, ping pong, and surround sound provides an exceptional wet-weather or evening option. A nearby pond, a creek at the property's edge, and frequent visits from deer and wild turkeys round out a setting where the natural world feels like a genuine part of the stay. With 22 five-star reviews and a perfect rating across all platforms, Shygusta Ranch is one of the most consistently celebrated properties in the entire Mayastoga portfolio — and one that guests return to, season after season. Sleeps 8 · 4 bedrooms · 4 bathrooms · 2,222 sq ft · Private golf hole · Pool · Hot tub · 3,000 sq ft deck · Pets welcome
Shygusta Ranch is the only property in the Mayastoga portfolio — and one of very few vacation rentals anywhere in Napa Valley — with its own private golf hole. A custom Augusta-inspired 100-yard par-3 with a 6,000-square-foot green overlooking a horse pasture is an amenity that simply cannot be replicated. Add a perfect five-star rating across 22 reviews, panoramic Mayacamas Mountain views, and interiors built from reclaimed sailing vessels and 200-year-old Vermont quarry stone, and the case for this property makes itself entirely.

The nearest commercial airports are Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport (STS) approximately 45 minutes away and is served by American, Alaska, and Southwest.

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.
