Staycation.
Shorthand for not having enough time to plan a proper trip.
Remove it from your vocabulary, with this:
Goin’ to Calistoga, a Five-Step Guide.
When you’re headed out of town for a short amount of time — say, 24 hours — everything has to line up.
The stay.
The spa.
The restaurant.
The traffic lights, if you’re lucky.
The itinerary we’ve designed (in NorCal’s capital of rustic-luxe chic — Calistoga) packs in as many sights as one can muster in the space of 24 hours.
These are just the five best picks, from an award-winning, super-private inn to one of the region’s top restaurants.
We even managed something for the kids.
Sheep, chickens and a pool. If you’re between the ages of five and 12 (or 100), that’s probably a pretty good list.
Everything’s within a few minutes of each other.
Because at a certain point, a man gets tired of checking every box off some imaginary been-there-done-that list.
And just wants to check the best boxes.
These are they.
