Shady Oaks Country Inn

We invite you to experience the warmth and romance of our country inn...secluded on two acres of shady oaks and walnut trees nestled among some of the finest wineries and restaurants in the Napa Valley. Relax and enjoy the elegant ambiance and country tranquility. Step into the scents and sights of yesterday...where life is simpler and the pace relaxed...When you arrive premium wine and cheese are being served in the fireside parlor or on the Roman pillared patio covered with 100 year old wisteria. Enjoy the company of others while reviewing our complete collection of restaurant menus or have a bottle of wine in the privacy of you own room.

Located just two miles south of St. Helena our quiet acres invite a stroll to pick grapes from the neighboring vines...lounge on the patio...play croquet in the front yard...horseshoes anyone? Perhaps you'd like a walk down beautiful Zinfandel Lane to visit Raymond Vineyards after one of our famous mouthwatering breakfasts or perhaps back to your room to bask in the sun on your own private balcony...or to anticipate swinging the "highest" on the rope swing that hangs from the old oak tree. John and I will do all we can to make your stay a memorable one. We will be here to make suggestions and reservations for the valley's unequaled fine dining and casual restaurants, popular and barely known out of the way winery tours and private tastings...balloon rides, glider rides, antique, specialty and outlet shopping.

Our full gourmet champagne breakfast is known as "the best in the Napa Valley". Awaken to the aroma of the inn's own blend of coffee...For you we serve Eggs Benedict, or Belgian Waffles, sumptuous stuffed French Toast, home baked breads, croissants, fresh fruits, a large selection of teas, fresh juice and champagne every morning. 'Breakfast' is an event in itself. The setting is always intimate either in the fireside dining room/parlor, the lavish pillared patio, or in the privacy of your room.

As you unlock the door to the room of your choice you will be invited in by carefully selected antique furnishings...Your old fashioned room is fresh and immaculate, with plants, cut flowers, and all your comforts in mind. Each of our recently redecorated guest rooms is as sought after as the next, each for different reasons. Three of our rooms have fireplaces for extra cuddle-ability. All of our rooms boast private baths, fine linens and attention to the little things that not only make the room inviting with it's individual appointments but comfortable as well.

It is our sincere wish that your stay with us be special and memorable. Every effort will be made for you to experience the ultimate in intimacy, romance and service.
