About this property
The Banks House, Upscale 3BD/3BA Home,10 Min Walk to World Class Downtown Napa
CITY OF NAPA LICENSED VACATION RENTAL: VR17-0081
Come and enjoy all that Napa has to offer at The Banks House. This beautiful Victorian home is located next to downtown Napa on First Street. It is listed in the Napa historic register and is elegantly nestled among other Victorian homes designed by one of Napa Valley’s renowned architects, Luther Turton, in the 1890s. In 2018 the house was extensively remodeled, creating an updated light filled home, which includes all the modern amenities while retaining its original Napa Victorian charm.
The Banks House provides an ideal base for your Napa visit. It is a short (10 minute) pleasant walk into downtown Napa and its acclaimed restaurants, wine tasting rooms, theaters, entertainment and shops. The house is a convenient two minute drive from Highway 29, providing access to the Up Valley Napa towns and wineries.
The Banks House has two bedrooms, each with a king size bed, and two new full bathrooms located on the upper level, and downstairs is a new large suite. The house can accommodate 6 overnight guests.
The home’s upper level provides a light filled open floor plan with distinctive Victorian era high ceilings, providing a wonderful setting for your group to enjoy time together. As you move through the seamlessly free-flowing layout that connects the living room, dining room and kitchen, you will enjoy sweeping views of the backyard garden and barn. The new kitchen and all new bathrooms feature white subway tile, stone countertops, state of the art appliances, sparkling new fixtures, gleaming hardwood floors and porcelain/marble floor tile.
The butler's pantry off the kitchen offers a wine refrigerator and another sink, which will be the hub of your wine tasting entertaining. The dining room and living room are invitingly furnished with plush, comfortable sofas, flat screen TV and a spacious farmhouse dining table, where you will gather for meals and conversation. For your comfort, the air conditioning and heating systems have two zones (upper level and lower level) to keep the home temperate.
Downstairs, you will enter through a rustic barn door, and find a large suite, which includes a living room with desk, flat screen TV and inviting sofa and swivel chairs, a king size bed and an adjoining bathroom with a beautiful farmhouse vanity with dual vessel sinks and a spacious shower with glass door.
Step out to the yard, and you will find yourself in an oasis: olive trees, lavender, trumpet vines, camellias and roses. At the far end, marvel at the historic barn next to the cozy al-fresco picnic table, where you will dine in complete shade. Hone your skills on the bocce court while being cheered by your family and friends as they sit alongside the bocce ball court. The garden lights create a magical, romantic setting in the evening. The Banks House will indulge you with an authentic and memorable Wine Country experience.

Very well maintained. Host was very informative. Top notch amenities. Great location. Would stay at The Banks House again and would recommend to anyone to stay.
Everything was amazing. The host was very attentive, and the property is not only beautiful but also conveniently located within walking distance of Napa's shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend this property and host.
The house was great! The location was perfect and we could walk to get coffee/breakfast and dinners! We loved staying here and will definitely consider rebooking in the future!
We had the absolute best stay here. It was perfect from start to finish. The house was spotless, the beds were super comfortable, and the area was quiet and peaceful. Definitely will be our first pick everytime we come back.
We loved our stay at The Banks House! Elizabeth does a great job with communicating and make sure everything is ok. Great location and very spacious! Can't wait to go back!
Incredible place to stay with family and friends. The house was comfortable and very clean. Beds and pillows great, plenty of Keurig coffees, toiletries and wine on arrival. Great little walk to downtown. much needed after all the wine drinking! definitely would recommend!
We enjoyed our stay at the Banks House. Beautiful home, great location and everything we needed for a fun few days. The home is comfortable and very well appointed. Hope to return soon.
Had a great time at the Banks house. Elizabeth was very pleasant and responsive and the home was super cozy and well appointed. Excellent location as well. Would rent again :)
We had a lovely time enjoying Napa from the banks house. Our host was helpful, friendly and efficient from start to finish. You can’t go wrong with this stay!
The Banks House accommodations were outstanding and worth every penny. The laundry setup was impressive and easy to use, more than we needed. The open floor plan suited togetherness yet had a quaint way of also allowing separate private conversations. The remodeling touches and thoughtful amenities facilitated an escape from our daily grinds & health challenges into relaxation, release and restoration. The Banks House provided easy access to every excursion we chose to experience, no more than 30-35 minute drive to the most amazing winery adventures. Highly recommend this property and would definitely consider staying again!!
We had a wonderful stay this past weekend! Perfect location and beautiful home. So wonderfully decorated, warm, cozy and a short walk to downtown Napa. The bedrooms, bathrooms and downstairs suite are exactly as pictured, but they do not do justice for the actual ambiance once you arrive. Every appliance and amenity you could possibly need are located in the rental. This was a perfect stay for our group of 4 ladies. We would highly recommend this property!
Really enjoyed our stay at the Banks House. Location was super convenient to downtown and highways making it easy to get to where we needed to be very quickly. The house has all the amenities needed and then some. The family had a great time and Elizabeth was spot on with all of the recommendations.
This house is so beautiful and comfortable that we felt like we were celebrities! It’s easy to find and within walking distance to downtown Napa! We can’t wait to come back!
Everything was lovely! The house is adorable, extremely well appointed, very clean, and so close to everything going on in downtown Napa! Our family had a lovely time. Would definitely stay here again if we are lucky enough to get back to Napa.
This home is beautiful and so thoughtful with all the little details. Great location close to downtown Napa. Beds were so comfortable that we almost overslept the first night. Perfect stay for our girl’s weekend trip.
Great location within walking distance to downtown. Nice neighborhood. Good communication from host. The house fit the needs for our group of 6 perfectly. We would stay here again when we come back to Napa.
The home was perfect for our girls trip to Napa for three nights. The location is great - just a short walk to town. This is not one of those cheap rentals with cheap decor, furniture and kitchenware - everything was very nice and well stocked. We would definitely stay here again!
Do not hesitate to book this house…it was just perfect for 3 couples, updated, nice furniture, beds, linens, dishes etc.…everything was great and the house was immaculate, so clean, you can tell they really take care of the house in between guests! Highly recommend!
Great property to stay! Nicely updated historic home that had plenty of room for the 3 couples in our party. Elizabeth was easy to work with and responded quickly to email and text.
Everything went smoothly from booking, check in, stay and check out! The host was very prompt with responses and very helpful with suggestions during our stay of where to eat, shop etc. The house was beautiful and just as described. The kitchen is fully stock with everything you need to cook and grill. They also have the house well stocked with basic spices, coffee, paper products, etc. Highly recommend!!
Beautiful home with everything you need. Great location to downtown. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome. Lovely bedrooms and furnishings. We enjoyed cooking in one night and playing bocce one afternoon. We were able to relax when there, but also enjoy walking to town for restaurants and shopping. Would love to visit again and highly recommend.
I booked the Banks Home for our short girls trip to Napa. The home has everything you could possibly need and more. Just a few minutes stroll to downtown Napa, the location is absolutely perfect! The house itself has been decorated to a high standard and designed to perfection. Open, airy, modern and exceptionally clean! The host, Elizabeth was in communication with tips and local events of interest. An absolute top notch home, location and host. Thank you, We’ll be back!
