The Beazley House, a wonderful circa 1902 mansion, was founded in 1981 in historic old town Napa by Carol and Jim Beazley, Napa's first innkeepers.

"Some of our friends thought we were nuts, but the only thing we were afraid of was not getting the chance to try", says Carol. "We sold everything we owned to make the down payment." And the rest is history.

"The inn sits on half an acre of lawns and gardens, and is an easy walk to Napa's gourmet restaurants, wine tasting rooms and the trolley to Copia," Jim said.

The Beazley House has been voted Napa's Best B&B for 11 years in a row by the listeners of KVON/KVYN.

The Beazleys have always been quick to add the amenities which they found their guests desired. By 1989 all of the ten guest rooms had private baths. Six of the rooms have fireplaces and five have private, two-person spas. Carol and Jim continue to personally manage the inn.

In May 2001, the Beazleys purchased another circa 1900's mansion just two doors west of the Beazley House. The property has been turned into Napa's newest luxury inn named "The Daughter's Inn." In May of 2007, the Daughter's Inn was sold to Jim Gunther & Jamie Cherry of San Francisco, CA.

The Beazleys are involved in the Napa community. Jim has twice been President of the Napa Valley Conference and Visitors' Bureau and a director of the Napa Chamber of Commerce and has served on the City of Napa's Cultural Heritage Commission. Carol also served on this commission in the late 1980's.

Jim & Carol have been active in Napa's community of innkeeping helping organize the Historic Inns of Napa. They are founding members of the statewide organization the California Association of Bed and Breakfast Inns (CABBI) and charter members of the Professional Association of Innkeepers International.

The Beazley House is ideally located in the California Wine Country just north of the Napa Valley College. This B&B is so much more than a hotel; it's more like having a friend with intimate knowledge of the Napa Valley. The Beazleys will direct you to wineries, wine tours, the Napa Valley Wine Train, hot air balloon rides and spas. They will even book your dinner reservations at one of the many Napa restaurants within walking distance of their inn. For small weddings in the ultimate vacation/resort destination that is Napa, there is no better location than the Beazley House. The town of Napa is surrounded by vineyards where you can go wine tasting, take a bike tour or play a round of golf at championship courses.
