Great location in the heart of wine country! Met the owner John who was friendly and helpful. We stayed in the main house along with our traveling companions (2 other couples). So the 6 of us had the main house to ourselves. Wine and cheese tasting in the evening. Breakfast was excellent. Would stay again. More

Quaint B/B is in a perfect location for visiting all the great wineries in St. Helena and around. The owners are very nice and as advertised breakfast is served every morning promptly at 9. Our room was the rose room in the main house, it's an older home so there's lots of creaking and the doors/walls are paper thin. Difficult... More

Superb Bed & Breakfast in St. Helena with Outstanding Personal Service! The Sunny Hideaway is quaint country charm personified with two bedrooms. Our arrival was like coming home with a private check-in, presentation of delicious Zinfandel made by the owner, John, an outstanding breakfast the next morning served by Lisa: fresh coffee, baked apple with cranberries, stupendous homemade croissants and...

I have vacationed in Napa many times over the last 15 years and staying at Shady Oaks was by far the best choice of all our visits. Why? Location, understated comfort and the owners. When planning a visit, the location of where you stay is important because after a day of wine tasting, you definitely don't want to drive far.... More

Shady Oaks showed us the best that the Valley can offer. The location is perfect, not in the hustle of a town, but not 10 minutes from the action either. It is right where you want to be. We would get up in the morning eat the fantastic breakfast, you cannot miss the croissants or the french toast, and go... More

My husband & I had the pleasure of staying at the Shady Oaks Inn during our first visit to Napa Valley and we loved it! The location is great, close to everything and Lisa and the other guests were wonderful. Homemade breakfasts and mimosas every am before heading out to the wineries really hit the spot and the happy hour... More

Although we have been to St. Helena a number of times, we had never stayed at Shady Oaks. We loved our room in the old winery building; it was charming and comfortable. Happy Hour was very nice, and the full breakfasts were delicious. Lisa was very helpful in getting us dinner reservations. Our previously favorite restaurant was out of business,... More

My wife and I spent one night at Shady Oaks during our walk through Napa. John was there to greet our late arrival with his excellent, home crafted wines. Our room was clean and nicely decorated, we had access to the kitchen and living space all evening and we enjoyed a restful, quiet night's sleep. The greatest part of our... More

We stayed here in 2000 for the first time and thought it was wonderful - lovely room, beautiful patio with wisteria-covered pergola for wine & cheese in the afternoon, and fabulous home-made gourmet breakfast. We returned a few years later, and once again had the same experience, staying in the main house. In 2005, we returned with my brother-in-law and... More
