There was a full moon the night we stayed at the Backyard Garden Oasis! It was absolutely spectacular! I haven't moon gazed like that in years! Greta's world is absolutely enchanting--the grounds are private and full of plant life---the rooms are large, well appointed and very clean--the breakfast she prepared was delicious--alot of it was a product of the large garden that she tends. This is a wonderful experience for anyone who wants to be away from the maddening crowd---great value too!

This is the first place my partner and I vacationed at when we met 7 years ago and in August last year we were married at this beautiful oasis. We've spent time here many times over the last 7 years. The inn is quiet and peaceful, Greta, the owner is wonderful to talk with, she's smart and funny, and makes the most amazing breakfasts. After spending many wonderful weekends at Backyard Garden Oasis we decided it would be the perfect place to get married and it was. The planning was easy and Greta was able to suggest many vendors in the area to help us with planning our wedding. We had the most special day of our lives at Backyard Garden Oasis and we will continue to visit often! It feels like our second home.

I would recommend Greta's bed & breakfast anytime. She is a gracious hostess with a lovely property. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet, rural setting, this is it!!! On the plus side, Greta is a terrifc massage therapist.

I have had the good fortune to stay at Backyard Garden Oasis several times over the last couple years. The rooms are always clean and the bed and other furniture are comfortable. The room always has a fresh flower or potted plant. During the spring summer or fall I have enjoyed sitting on the private patios overlooking the garden and enjoyed sampling Lake County wines. During the cooler seasons the fire in the gas fireplace is a delight and quickly warms the room. I really look forward to my stays, as they are peaceful and restful.

My husband and I were treated like loved family members by Greta. Our room was awesome, as was the breakfast omelet and scone, covered with strawberries. It mattered not that it gently rained all night, as we were as secure and snug in our lovely cottage. The hostess has made a hidden treasure just over a little bridge, and we will be back as soon as we can. C & D Humbel , Ca.

My wife and I stayed at the Oasis on a Sat. in the first week of Feb. I am a manager in the resort industry of the Napa Valley and must say, I was very impressed. The property is very quiet and private. The cottages are spacious, yet romantically cozy. It is clear that Greta has put a lot of time and care into the ammenities in the room. The coffee is high end and there is fresh cream in the fridge. Our cottage had a skylight over the king size bed and a great fireplace that warmed the room nicely. This B+B is perfect for those who need a "real" relaxing get away. The property attracts many types of birds, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. We found the best part was the hospitality that Greta provides. She is a very warm women, who's goal is to take care of your every need and give you maximum privacy at the same time. In the morning she serves breakfast by a very warm wood burning fire! If you are lucky she will be making french toast, bacon, and fresh strawberries. Have a great time and don't froget to visit the pond and creek at he edge of the property! Great for pictures.

Our 41st Wedding Anniversary was enjoyed at Backyard Garden Oasis and we were pleasantly surprised to find a quiet, natural setting in the lovely Napa Valley area. Greta is gracious with her hospitality and our breakfast was a gourmet delight! We love visiting the wine country and hope we can enjoy this retreat again. Kathy and Dennis Loomis, Ca.

Serene, clean individual cottages where relaxing is easy! Greta is a fabulous sweetheart of a host and her breakfasts were outstanding. I came to attend a wedding in Calistoga and the stay is worth the drive. I will definitely be back!

The backyard is a nice spot to relax and the cabins are invitingly cozy, but with a sense of spaciousness. A nice place to stay while visiting Stevenson Park, wine country. Breakfast was tasty and the food options in Middletown aren't bad either.

The stay at Backyard Garden Oasis is always peaceful, serene and relaxing. Greta is a fabulous host! If you're so inclined, head up the road to enjoy a little gambling at Twin Pines Casino. We usually leave a little richer! Enjoy!!

Beautiful, secluded spot not too far from Calistoga and Napa valley. Rooms are warm, cozy and comfortable. Breakfasts are home cooked, made-to-order and filling. Innkeeper is very genuine and personable. Would highly recommend and return for a visit

We were impressed with the graciousness of our host. The room is fairly basic, but it is clean and comfortable. Breakfast was simple but delicious, and served at a convenient time. We would likely stay here again.

Tucked away between Napa and Clearlake (hence the name Middletown) this is truly a get away. Beautiful setting, quiet and massages by request.

It is often challenging for us to find a b&b that is knowledgable and considerate to accomodate our super-healthy diet. The food was straight out of her garden. The room was well appointed - Greta went the extra mile, and that matters!

If you want peace and quiet with a cheerful host providing great food and accomodation in a lovely garden setting and yet within easy reach of NAPA valley and Lake County. THIS IS IT!

This place is filled with redwoods, a waterfall, Koi pond, herb and vegetable garden, butterflies, hummingbirds, flowers, and variety of wildlife. The main house has a spa which lookup to the Milky Way at night. I don't think I have ever seen so many stars in my life. It's is surrounded by mountains and stream.
