Very nice stay overall. However, my bed was very lumpy and hard at the same time (not sure how that works), and there were skylights directly over my bed with no way to block the light. So, I was awake much earlier than I wanted each day.

Hi Rudy, I just tested the bed myself and although I didn't experience any lumpiness, I will take your word for it and flip the mattress. It is a firm mattress. I hope you will stay with us again when the weather is good for motorcycling!

3 days stay in Middletown CA
A very pleasant stay. Greta the owner was very nice and helpful, the cottage was cute and the bed extremely comfortable. This is probably the very best value for money accommodation in the area and we would stay there again. Only downside for me was the wifi was very weak.

We are constantly upgrading our wifi as upgrades become available. But we are in a rural area and rely upon satellite service. Thanks for your visit!

Quiet with lots of trees and an exceptionally friendly dog named Ollie! (we all love dogs!) Just enough space for the 3 of us to hang out and sleep when not out in the nearby towns. Only thing was the small additional bed for the 3rd person was not very comfortable. (very hard) I brought an extra comforter so made it a bit more comfortable.

It was so good to have you stay here. The extra bed is a futon. I hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience.

Nice property. Greta greeted us upon arrival and showed us our cottage. The cottage is clean and pet friendly. She provided bowls, a few snacks and doggie duty bags for our dog. We were looking forward to a soak in the hot tub but she said it wasn’t hot so we would have to wait a few hours for it to warm up. We opted not to wait 💔. The bed and pillows were comfy, there was a wine opener and wine glasses in the room. No breakfast was offered even though it states continental breakfast on the amenities

Response from Greta on Jan 15, 2021
So sorry for the misunderstanding about breakfast. You booked the cottage without breakfast. Specifically, it said "breakfast excluded". That's why it was a lower price than with a continental breakfast. Thanks for staying with us.

Perhaps the controls on the heater weren't set properly. I apologize if I didn't explain this clearly. Normally our cottages are quite warm and comfortable. Also, breakfast is usually served at 9 am, but a guest may request any time between 8 am and 10 am.

Lovely Bed and Breakfast above the Napa Valley
We stayed at the Backyard Garden Oasis for a weekend. It was just off the main highway and easy to find. Greta greeted us, checked us in and showed us the little cottage where we stayed. Greta also informed us about the breakfast in the morning being at 9. The room was very neat and clean. It had a country atmosphere and was next to Greta's garden. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and well prepared. We visited with others in the B&B. We told Greta we were unable to stay for breakfast in the morning as we live far away and wanted to be on the road very early. Greta was kind enough to make some of her delicious cornbread for us to take with us. Greta also greeted us as we left and asked about our stay. I am sure we will return to this lovely place.

Nice cottage, in the woods and fields.
About a 20 minute windy road up out of Calistoga, you come to a beautiful spot, horses ina field across the road, three cottages in a row bordering an iris en-circled pond and running stream... close to hiking trails and lakes. Greta is there to prepare breakfast made to order and take care of any problems. Relax.

Hidden gem
We were surprised by the drive there because Expedia put it in the group search for "Geyersville hotels"..... no reflection on the B&B, just know it's out of the way unless you are planning to go to ClearLake region. That said, drive up is beautiful. The "cottage" is nicely done (with efficiency kitchen and tile bathroom. We enjoyed patio outside both AM and PM ! Breakfast was stellar 😊

Great Little B&B
My husband and I had a great weekend stay here while visiting a friend in the Clear Lake area. Greta was a wonderful hostess, making an excellent breakfast each morning. The grounds are peaceful and relaxing, with a creek in the back. The place is very dog-friendly and our dog enjoyed the stay as much as we did.

Very relaxing, private garden all to ourselves!
Lovely stay in a quiet and (almost) remote garden in the north wine country. The room was comfy and cozy, with a refrigerator and coffee maker for convenience. Breakfast was ready every morning for us in the host's house, complete with fresh OJ and made-to-order omelettes. Delish! We were a short drive (20 mins.) from Calistoga, a lovely little spot for restaurants, bars and wine tasting rooms.

A wonderful little gem tucked away from everything
If you want to get away from the main stream of overpriced B&B's and motel in and around wine country, here is where you want to stay. There are only three well appointed cabins at this place. Quiet and private yet close to Calistoga and the wine experience you may have come to the area to experience. Your host Greta is a wonderful and charming host and chef. I will definitely be going back.

A place to enjoy nature
We enjoyed our quiet environment. This is not a luxurious place but we got anything we needed. The room was comfortable, the breakfast was wonderful, Greta is a very nice lady, and we did not mind the distance from Calistoga. Middletown is just 4 miles away. This is a perfect place for couples wanting to have a peaceful time. I highly recommend it.
