The Vintage Inn

Just a few minute's drive away from Mustards is The Vintage Inn.
Our home away from home for the next few days. What a beautiful Inn. Colorful landscaping. Very well manicured lawns. A beautiful destination. We went to the counter in the well air conditioned lobby and were checked in about 5 minutes. We were told where to park and a bellhop met us at our car and took us and our luggage to our room.

The Inn is a 5 minute walk to The French Laundry. Also there are lots of other great restaurants nearby. It also has a wonderful breakfast buffet every morning and a great tea service every afternoon. All included in the room rate.

Our room is #200. A ground floor, inner courtyard room. Nicely appointed with a table and chairs, fireplace, window seat, king size bed, tv and fridge and a welcome bottle of Chardonnay. Chardonnay was Beringer. So so, but not bad for a nice extra in the room. Bathroom has a 2 person whirlpool tub and a double sink vanity. There was also a seperate chair with a reading lamp.

Another nice feature of the room was that it had a semi private patio with 2 chairs and a table. The weather was just too hot to sit outside, but it was nice to know it was available if we wanted to use it.

Outside of our room was a nice water feature. There was a fountain at one end that then ran in regular rectangles along the length of the courtyard next to our room. Little fountains were in the rectangles.















Outside of the room were some beautiful flowers that the bees also were enjoying. So we were sure to keep our door closed. But with the A/C in the room running, keeping the door closed was no problem. A nice treat from the hotel were 2 187 ml bottles of Napa Mumm sparkling wine for my birthday.
