 Valerie Beck
is Bob's wife and is the full-time managing partner of the Inn.
Prior to the construction of the Inn she worked alongside her
husband in their real estate business and is a past president
of the Calistoga Chamber of Commerce. A Southern California
girl, her early career was in the LA fashion business. After
a brief stay in Aspen, she settled in Sausalito where she and
Bob met. Her love of art and fine home accessories led her to
open Gloriosa, a popular home furnishings store in Calistoga.
She has now brought Gloriosa on a smaller scale to the inn,
with gift items available to the guests. Valerie enjoys the
subtler art of innkeeping, balancing warm hospitality with an
awareness of the guests' desire for privacy
 Bob
Beck Bob's life took many turns before ending up in Calistoga,
from a small South Dakota town to a Harvard MBA; from a corporate
executive in LA to a five-year sailing trip in the Caribbean.
He moved his real estate business from Sausalito to Calistoga
over 12 years ago and immediately became active in civic affairs.
Bob was a founding director of the Calistoga Education Foundation,
a City Councilman, a founding director of the Calistoga Performing
Arts Association and a director of several other community organizations.
When he observed a need for upscale accommodations and a unique
tree-covered site in the heart of Calistoga's spa district,
he called his old friend Tom Stimpert.
