at Ink House Bed & Breakfast

Treat yourself to Victorian elegance in the midst of the Napa Valley's world famous wine growing region. Among the vineyards and neighbors to some of the finest wineries and restaurants, a stay at the Ink House is a nostalgic return to an era long past with all the conveniences of modern comfort. Built in 1884, by Theron H. Ink, this grand and historic landmark home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Here at his "Helios Ranch", Ink, a true pioneer, lived with his wife and children and presided over many Napa Valley ventures. This Italianate Victorian style home offers two first floor parlors, with concert grand piano, fireplace, circa 1870 pump organ, crystal chandeliers and original stained glass. Our guest bedrooms are situated on the second floor, each room offering a distinctive view of the vineyards, Victorian gardens and trees that were here long before the house was even built. A small parlor is also located on this floor. Each room has a queen sized bed,and bath, and are decorated in period French, English, American, Georgian, Eastlake and Italian antiques and family heirlooms. Rooms are centrally air conditioned and heated for your comfort. The rooms differ in size and amenities which are reflected in their rates. Throughout the house, you will find a collection of distinctive original art. The house is full of wonderful antiques, collectibles and heirloom pieces that the Innkeepers hope all will enjoy. This is a home to be lived in, so each guest is encouraged to be comfortable and enjoy all the house has to offer.
