Since 1860, this property where Hillcrest Country Inn resides has been in the family for seven generations. There are many family photo albums, giving you a good look at the oldest wineries and elegant life-style of the Tubbs family and their friends.

The Tubbs and the Reids were two of Napa Valley's earliest and most glamourous residents. The Reid name is an important part of San Francisco architecture (the Fairmont Call Building and Hotel Del Coronodo are a few of their designs).

The Tubbs family established an empire supplying cordage to the Clipper ships of San Francisco Harbor and founded Calistoga's Chateau Montelena in 1880.
