Calistoga Ranch is nestled in a secluded valley on 157 wooded acres and features 50 cedar-shingled guest lodges, as well as a lakefront restaurant called The Lakehouse that is helmed by newly-appointed Executive Chef Bryan Moscatello, a wine cave and vineyard consisting of two acres of Cabernet grapes, the thermal spring-fed Auberge Spa at Calistoga Ranch, a heated outdoor pool and separate family pool, miles of hiking trails, a fitness center and more. The resort’s eco-conscious design comes to life in luxurious guest lodges that preserve the integrity and beauty of the valley’s ancient oak trees, redwoods and Lake Lommel by offering free-standing rooms connected by decks, trellised walkways and expansive outdoor living areas built around existing trees. Authentic programming that honors the serene landscape revolves around unique elements including a cabernet vineyard, honeybee colonies, a secret garden and greenhouse, and a chicken coop complete with a crystal chandelier.
