Dr. Wilkinson's Backyard Resort & Mineral Springs

A grocery with made-to-order sandwiches and a lot of ready-made food.

Sushi plus cooked Japanese plates for the kid who won't do raw fish, and deep-fried Oreos over vanilla ice cream for dessert.

A coffee shop with a toy box for the kids.

Calistoga's old-fashioned diner since forever: pancakes and waffles for kids, huevos rancheros for the grown-ups, and a side of town lore.

Every room has a kitchenette with a fridge, and there is a shallow wading pool with a waterfall (the covered jet pool is adults only).

Calistoga's newest Italian: fresh pasta made daily, pizza, and house meatballs that suit kid palates.
