Discover a hidden gem in Napa County for a lakefront cabin stay.
In northeastern Napa County, Lake Berryessa is unknown to many California Wine Country visitors. Those who find it are rewarded with a place to go boating, kayaking, water-skiing, paddleboarding, trout and bass fishing, and bird-watching. With summertime water temperatures reaching the 70s°F, you can even enjoy swimming here, unlike the cold waters of the nearby Pacific. Hiking trails and day use areas offer space to explore, picnic, and play in the water. From the southwestern tip of the lake, it’s just a 30-minute drive to the wineries along Napa’s Silverado Trail. Resorts with a mix of cabin rentals, watercraft rentals, and camping can be found on the southern end of the lake, where the cabins are typically rustic. Some have kitchens, and some allow pets. Cabin rentals can also be found on the western side of the lake. Pay attention to wildfire warnings in the summer and fall.
