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.

The Banks House is one of only 42 legally permitted, entire home vacation rentals in Napa. Our vacation rental license number is: VR17-0081.

Napa Oct ‘24
A perfect house for 3 couples to partake in all of what Napa Valley had to offer. House was perfectly located for morning walks to explore downtown Napa! After a day of wine, we cancelled a few of our dinner reservations and dined under the cafe lights in the backyard enjoying a few bottles that we acquired during the day. Elizabeth is full of great dining recommendations…especially breakfast. Would definitely rent here again. Zero complaints.

Beautiful home!
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!

Excellent location and squeaky clean!
The four of us stayed in this beautiful home for 5 nights and everything about it was 5 stars. The location is perfect, a quick drive to wineries and restaurants. The host sent us recommendations in the area which was very helpful. The kitchen is fully stocked with every utensil and appliance you could need. The beds were comfortable and the entire house was immaculate. Would love to stay here again on our next trip!

Beautiful house in downtown Napa
Our stay at the Banks House in Napa was perfect. The house is beautifully restored and maintained and our host Elizabeth was very helpful with information about restaurants and wineries. The location is very convenient—walking distance to everything in Napa. The Banks House is a great base for exploring the Napa Valley.

Beautiful house with so many lovely details
I brought my mother and two other family members to Napa for a long weekend and this property was perfect for a girls' trip. Centrally located and close to downtown Napa (two members of our crew were too old to walk the .8 or so miles to downtown, but it would be walkable for most groups). Elizabeth, the hostess, was so helpful with Napa-area recommendations before our trip. The house is beautifully remodeled and very comfortable, with thoughtful touches like a full, well-stocked coffee bar. We had a lovely time and I would recommend this property to anyone for a low-key stay in Napa.
