What Guests Are Saying

“Hennessey House has been our favorite Napa B&B for over 10 years. Perfect for large or small groups and we’ve stayed in almost every room in the main house. Clean, great breakfast, within walking distance to many great restaurants and Lorri and her staff treat you like family.”
