Very welcoming, nice little wine and cheese at 5. Rooms were cheery. Breakfast was home made and excellent though i would have liked a choice. Very good location and really a good value. I was disappointed to have not met the owners and proprietors as they seemed welcoming on the phone. I think they own a second property and that... More

We enjoyed our stay at Shady Oaks in the Sunny Hideaway room. We were 4 girlfriends in Napa Valley for wine tasting and enjoying the Valley. We stayed for 2 nights and would stay again. The two bedroom Sunny Hideaway was perfect for the four of us. We liked the fireplace and the two bedrooms gave us plenty of room... More

This was my first time in a Bed & Breakfast. From the beginning to the end we loved it. The place gives you a very warm feeling and the location is very good. Its right in between the vineyards, so you can choose and pick which one you want to go to. I can say its a very romantic getaway... More

My wife and I spend a remarkable four days at Shady Oaks! The location was perfect for our journeys through Napa Valley - right in the middle of everything! The inn was quaint, yet had everything you need in a bed and breakfast. The breakfast each morning with other quests was a great way to begin the day. Each morning... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Shady Oaks Country Inn this past mid September (2012). I cannot recommend this Inn highly enough. I found it by searching on the internet for "Inns on a vineyard in Northern California". Shady Oaks was in fact located right in the midst of a lovely vineyard. It was so romantic! After booking a...

This is a very nice Bed & Breakfast with a superb location to visit in several wineries. John and Lisa were great hosts and made everything from the reservation process to our check out a great experience. Breakfast with waffles and mimosas was delicious!!

Start to finish just a wonderful experience. The location of the B&B is not to be beat -- situated right in between wine fields and vineyards -- it is beautiful. Hope for warm weather so the incredible breakfast is served out on the patio. John, Lisa, Hope and the rest of the crew are as kind as they are knowledgeable... More

Our annual trip to Napa/Sonoma found us staying on the Napa side this year. We traveled with another couple and shared the building separate from the main house which featured two rooms. Clean, quiet, and convenient are all I ask for and John and Lisa, along with their attentive staff, delivered on all three. The breakfast which was featured each... More

I was delighted to find this gorgeous hotel from a bed and breakfast sign on the main road. Only one room remaining. Expensive compared with other places I stayed on the overall trip but good value for Napa. Cheese and local wine on arrival and a long chat with John, the owner. John makes his own wine which was very... More

My girlfriends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shady Oaks. The owner John was extremely genuine and willing to take time out to offer input on restaurants, vineyards, and other activities. He was also great company during the wine and cheese hour. We enjoyed getting to know other guests during the delicious champagne breakfasts as well. This is definitely... More
