Nestled in a wooded canyon at the northern edge of the Napa Valley, this tranquil 157-acre resort of 50 cedar-shingled freestanding guest lodges is the sister property to Auberge du Soleil. Owing to original zoning restrictions, lodge bedrooms and living rooms are connected by decks with fireplaces and outdoor rainfall showers. Two-bedroom Lodges also come with private hot tubs. Though the property lacks grand public spaces, guests can stroll or be shuttled between a pool, gym and private Cabernet vineyard at one end of the property and a superb lake-view restaurant and small spa complex with a natural spring-fed mineral pool at the other. A wide swath of activities is available, from hot air ballooning and horseback riding to wine-blending classes and painting lessons.
This resort seems primarily meant for couples seeking solitude.
