Mark,
My wife and I spent a couple of nights at Indian Springs in Calistoga this past August. It is a spa, not a B&B - no food served, but is a 5 minute walk to downtown Calistoga. The accomodations consist of a series of single or duplex one story bungalows with good size kitchenettes - refer, stove, table. We also had a back porch and front porch to relax. They have a huge pool (70x150' +/-) heated by the on-site geyser (open till midnight for stargazing) along with a spa where you can get massages, mud baths, etc. The resort has a feel of the 1930's-40's - pleasant and clean - not a 5 star joint but enjoyable.
We drove the Cobra up - stopping along the way - as usual lots of looks but no issues with the car. The nice thing about Indian Springs is that for most of the rooms, you park your car in a quasi reserved spot in front of your room along an alternate driveway - a distance of 25' or so between your car and the door. Some of the rooms have parking in the rear - I would not feel as comfortable with those - you should ask. I covered the car each night - the looky-lou's came out in the morning to see what was under the cover - it felt pretty safe due to proximity to our room and the type of people we saw around. I did feel badly on the second night when we got back to the room after 11PM - it was dead quiet - except for the melody coming from my sidepipes - I have never tried to keep the noise down more than that night. Fortunately I could glide into my spot but I still made a racket.
This is a great place to take the kids - besides the pool, they have shuffle board, bocci ball, volleyball, tennis, basketball I think, BBQ's, lawns. Probably not an option in the roadster - but food for thought for another time.
