INN ON RANDOLPH
No Compromising Required
by Danae Blythe Rubenstein
Innkeeper and owner, Deborah Coffee has an innate ability to read people just the right way. She posseses a keen ability to detect the level of interaction desired by her guests. For more than 12 years, Deborah has offered both a private cottage-getaway for two, as well as a main house where classic Norman Rockwell meets sophisticated New York City. This transcending half acre is a wrinkle in time where Deborah believes you can please all of the people all of the time.
Deborah is no stranger to the term “corporate refugee.” After burning both ends of the candle sustaining a career in both the banking and computer worlds of corporate America, Deborah reassessed her career and life goals. It turned out she was ready to make a home away from home for every variety of vacationer and visitor alike. It’s a good thing she did, as she’s quite good at it.
Deborah Coffee’s traditional welcoming Southern upbringing is apparent long before you meet her or taste her cooking. She’ll be in touch with you via email asking about your likes, interests and expectations of the trip. After all, Deborah would never blindly recommend a restaurant or an attraction without getting a feel for you first. Drawing from her wealth of knowledge about Napa and surrounding valleys, Deborah loves to put together a simple or detailed personalized itinerary for her guests if they so desire. However, Deborah can also recognize guests who are looking for spontaneity or a romantic getaway and know when her services aren’t needed. After all, it’s their vacation and Deborah isn’t there to dictate how it unfolds. She is there to make you a quiche in the morning from scratch or to simply leave a breakfast basket for you outside your door.
Do not be deceived by her simple and wholesome approach to her B&B. The Inn on Randolph has a total of 10 rooms, each more distinctive than the last. This is a classically charming and quaint B&B with free wireless internet access and a full spa menu available in the privacy of your own room. The Inn on Randolph is representative of
its best-of-both-worlds downtown Napa surroundings. If you choose to leave the utopia that Deborah has created, you will find world-class restaurants, wine, opera and art just a short walk away. With private patios opening to a garden oasis where you can enjoy a glass of wine by the fire inside or out, why would you leave? You’ll sleep better than you do at home, with plush linens and only the highest quality of mattresses and pillows chosen to your specifications. You can choose between a variety of the soft, firm or goose down pillows available. Staying with Deborah is as authentic as staying with a native in a country to which you are a stranger. She gives you the tools to explore a valley legendary throughout the world with the expertise and experience of a local. One visit is all it takes to be spoiled for good. Thanks to Deborah you’ll want the best of both worlds every day for your very own.
