This was an interesting place. When we first arrived, we wondered if we had the wrong address. It looked like just an ordinary little house and garage but the address was right so we figured we park and find out if we were lost! But Greta, the innkeeper, heard our car and came to her front door. She opened the... More

This was a lucky find for us at a busy time in the wine country. These are 3 cute cottages nestled in the woods of Middleton. Each cottage has its own patio with table and chairs. Clean, large room with comfortable bed, roomy bathroom and nice little touches everywhere. Greta is a gracious host, makes a great breakfast, and is... More

This is a wonderful rural retreat in one of the most beautiful parts of the California wine country. The rooms are very homey and beautifully maintained, and the gracious hostess serves a gourmet breakfast; she is also very knowledgeable about local attractions.

Backyard Garden Oasis is a little bit of heaven in Middletown. Beautiful setting, very tranquil. Abundance of bird life and butterflies. Your room is really a cabin that is delightful. It was a very busy five days preparing for family wedding and visiting family in area. Looking forward to returning for a more restful visit. Innkeeper Greta was a great... More

This is a terrific little gem, hidden away between Calistoga and Clear Lake. Greta, the innkeeper, is a warm and gracious hostess who takes a sincere interest in her guests and goes out of her way to make sure you're comfortable. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean and private. The grounds are pretty and peaceful. The breakfast is homemade, delicious... More

Greta is a gracious host, great cook, superb masseuse, and probably has many other skills we didn't have a chance to experience. The B&B is a great value, far exceeding our expectations (even with good reviews).

There is absolutely nothing not to like about the Backyard Garden Oasis. The rooms are spacious, very clean. The surroundings are tranquil, beautiful. Across the road we saw wild turkeys, quail, deer, and an abundance of bird life. The pond and the little waterfall on the property are a delight at any time of the day. Greta's breakfasts were soooo... More

I was searching on the internet and stumbled on this little hidden jewel. From the moment we spoke, I could tell Greta, our hostess, was a warm, genuinely kind person, which was absolutely true. She was friendly and inviting from the time we walked in. (And very accomodating considering our reservation/arrival was very last minute.) I was very impressed with... More

The location is Middletown, in rural Lake county. It's close enough to Calistoga & the more- traveled wine country,....yet far enough away to escape the touristy crowds... The first thing we noticed was the quiet & tranquility...It's a comfortable place, certainly not pretentious in any way. .As we sat & looked at the back yard...we notice tons of birds,.... hummingbirds,...
