Calistoga is hosting fun summer events such as Shakespeare in the Park every Saturday and Sunday in August. Make a break for a final summer getaway and take advantage of the summer specials now being offered at Chelsea Garden Inn and Mounat View Hotel & Spa, two CABBI inns located within walking distance to downtown Calistoga's fine dining, spas and shops.

And, if you stay during the week, you'll receive a $15 discount. The 1905 Victorian home is located just a "scones-throw" away from campus as well as Bidwell Mansion State Historic Park, and Chico's quaint downtown with great shops and restaurants.
