  The rare luxury resort that gets just about everything right

  Rating: 10/10 My family and I stayed here in room 6 (a "Deluxe Cottage, 1 King Bed") for two nights in July 2026. Positives: • The property itself is about as close to perfect as it gets. Everything still feels new, and both the rooms and grounds are beautifully done. The whole resort has an idyllic quality that makes it very easy to settle in and not particularly want to leave. • The staff went above and beyond in a way I have rarely experienced at a luxury resort. During our stay, our 11-year-old son was at a camp a couple of hours away that had to be evacuated because of a wildfire. We collected him in the middle of the night without any of his belongings. The next morning, the resort experience director, Hannah, went out and bought him a pair of swim trunks so he could enjoy the pool and we would not have to spend part of our day shopping for him. Nobody had to do that. It was an incredibly thoughtful gesture at a stressful moment for our family, and one we will not forget. • The food was excellent. We enjoyed meals at Bear as well as room service on our outdoor patio, which had its own gas fireplace. Sitting outside by the fire and having dinner brought to the room was a pretty good argument for staying put rather than venturing back out into Napa. • The resort was surprisingly inviting for kids. There were activities like juice tasting and pizza making, and the enormous main pool was genuinely welcoming to families. Stanly Ranch manages the difficult trick of feeling like a sophisticated luxury resort without making parents feel as though their children are merely being tolerated. • Complimentary valet parking was a small but appreciated touch. At a property of this caliber, I have become accustomed to discovering another substantial parking charge waiting at the end of the stay. Not having one was refreshing. • Even the handling of a very minor problem demonstrated the level of service here. I had a small WiFi issue and messaged reception to get it resolved. It amounted to a few minutes of inconvenience and I thought nothing more of it. At checkout, the staff insisted on giving me a $100 credit for the trouble. It was completely unnecessary, but also perfectly representative of our experience. That almost other-worldly level of service is what makes me want not only to return to Stanly Ranch, but to start working my way through the rest of the Auberge portfolio. Negatives: • The only complaint I can muster is the rooms were a tad small, but that was made particularly challenging by our son's surprise appearance. The resort brought in another rollaway bed for him (we had two total) without so much as a fuss.

  Family friendly, but without sacrificing luxury

  Absolutely beautiful spaces full of warm, helpful staff. We brought out two babies and had a fabulous time exploring, lounging, and entertaining. Best sap in Napa, terrific food on site, and gorgeous views from every angle.

  The Perfect Stay!!

  Our recent stay at Stanley Ranch was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome with an attentiveness that struck the perfect balance of warm and effortless. Every interaction reflected a level of hospitality that made the entire experience feel truly special. The property itself is beautifully curated, from the stunning grounds to the thoughtfully designed rooms. Every detail feels intentional, creating an atmosphere that's both luxurious and incredibly relaxing. We only stayed for one night, but it left us wishing we had booked a much longer visit. The spa is absolute perfection. We spent time by the pool, where the atmosphere was just right: relaxed, elegant, and exactly what you hope for in Napa. Dinner at The Bear was outstanding, with incredible food and impeccable service that made for a memorable evening. The next morning, we grabbed lattes from Gavel and paired it with a Loveski bagel—a fantastic collaboration and the ideal way to end our stay. Stanley Ranch delivers an experience that's thoughtful in every way. The service was impeccable throughout, and if we could live there, we absolutely would. We can't wait to return.

  New favorite hotel

  Stanly Ranch might my favorite hotel on mainland USA. Our room (rambler king suite) was spacious and extremely comfortable. The people here are SO friendly! The whole campus is just beautiful and appealing. We loved the trails for walking/running/biking. It is so close to downtown Napa and is so easy to enjoy that charming city. I love that we were able to get our rooms cool enough for a good night's sleep. The atmosphere at Stanly Ranch is what every hotel should have. So personable and perfect. (Apparently I never clicked "submit" on this back in November.)
