1. Classy condo a close to Napa's Main Street (from USD 322)

5. Gorgeous resort-style home with "spool" for six guests (from USD 1138)

According to the host of this gorgeous Airbnb stay, a “spool” is bigger than a spa, smaller than a pool. You get a spool when you book the renovated Edwardian home, but the deck might steal your attention away from the 26 jets of water and 2 relaxation stations. There is ample space and elegant outdoor seating. The interior of the guest house would take your breath away. Then there’s the main house, which features two more bedrooms, two baths, a full kitchen, and a living room. There’s much that can be said about the interior decor, but we can sum it all up as beautiful. To complete the resort home concept, the host offers access to a fitness room. Main Street is two blocks away if you still feel like going out and exploring.

7. Bedecked cottage amid cypress trees and grapevines (from USD 220)

This modern Airbnb cottage in St. Helena is a petite place (and perfect for two) but it is a lovely place to stay. Lovelier still are the surroundings.

8. Historic and charming cabin overlooking vines (from USD 270)

This property is not to be trifled with. What it lacks in counter space it makes up for in charm and historical value. The cabin that traces its roots to cereal authority, Dr. Kellogg sits on a canyon and looks out to vineyards and woodlands.
