It's very rare to get this quality of service, smiling faces and high standards, and it's obvious your staff is treated well, which makes all the difference! Loved the plastic slippers and bathrobe! And the hot cider...Liscia's massage was the best I've ever had!

Bothe-Napa Valley State Park is 3.6 miles from the resort. Old Faithful, the geyser of California, is a 5 minute drive away. Everything at The Inn On Pine was beyond amazing. The pool area was beautiful, the beds were really comfortable, and the buffet breakfast had many delicious choices. The service was exceptional and we loved that we could stay around the pool area for the day once we had checked out of the rooms, it made our stay feel longer and we could relax in the beautiful setting for some extra time. Val was very helpful with everything. The location was perfect as it was super close to the town but also tucked in its own quiet corner with a lovely view of the vast mountain range. We cannot fault our time here and would love to visit again in the future!
