    We couldn't have been better cared for, appreciated, tended to, or resourced. The only thing wrong with our stay was that our commitments prevented us from enjoying more of the wonderful breakfasts. It was a wonderful stay!

    Excellent location in Napa Valley. Located on Zinfandel Lane, which during this time of season did have car noise. Innkeepers were very available and helpful and also allowed us to see them making the wine that they serve in the evenings. The breakfasts were outstanding. Our room was cozy. We would definitely return again!

    Stayed 2 nights, room was very clean, breakfast was delicious and inn keeper helped arrange a wine of wine tours that was out of this world. Location is perfect, because you're 15 minutes to the north end of the valley and 15 minutes to the City of Napa, and right in the middle of the biggest/best wineries. Highly recommend and we are making plans to visit Napa again with friends and stay in same place.

    2011 Napa Visit

    September 30, 2011

    We have been visiting the Napa and Sonoma Valleys annually for the last 5 years. It is always difficult to find a place to stay in northern Napa Valley, but our stay this year at Shady Oaks Country Inn was fabulous. The staff were very friendly and the Inn was very cozy. Breakfasts were superb and they even treated us to wine and cheese tastings in the evenings. We will certainly look at booking a stay at Shady Oaks next year when we are planning our visit to Wine Country!

    September 28, 2011

    Because the room had a terrible smell, which we believe was caused by cement mixture in the wall, it literally permeated the room....our stay in the room was adversely affected. We TRULY enjoyed the breakfasts which were excellent and our weekend hostess, Hope, was warm and welcoming and eager to help. Next time we'll request a different room.
