Circa 1880. This country inn is secluded on two acres among the finest wineries in the Napa Valley. There are two buildings, a 1920s home and a winery. The winery features original stone walls and is now a luxurious guest suite. Rooms boast fine linens, antiques, a private deck or a view of the gardens and vineyards. Wine and cheese are served fireside each evening in the parlor or on the Roman-pillared patio. A gourmet champagne breakfast is the subject of rave reviews by guests and may include eggs Benedict or Belgian waffles.

Stayed On: 9/2011 While not there when we arrived, innkeeper Lisa left clear instructions for check-in. She later joined us and the other guests, providing wine and cheese along with lively conversation. We stayed in the Country Blue room; everything was extremely clean and neat, well decorated and freshly painted; the bed was very comfortable. The food was fresh, very tasty and nicely presented. Everything about our stay was enjoyable. We have stayed at many B&Bs over the years and not all were good experiences. It's no mystery why the Runnells have been successful operators for over 25 years! We'd highly recommend a stay here.

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.

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!

We stayed at Shady Oaks in November of 2009. What a perfect location. We could walk across the street to Kellham Vineyards. The innkeeper Jenna was so helpfull with all of our plans. She got us into barrell tastings and small out of the way wineries. The rooms were very comfortable and the breakfast was to die for.
