Happy I found this place, my husband & I stayed for 3 nights in the suite. Jeannette the owner & her husband where very helpful giving us tips on where to go while in Napa & to our pleasant surprise we did not have to drive to far the valley oak inn is very close to a lot of great vineyards! Jeannette was nothing but sweet to us.
Pro's the room is up stairs with a private entry way & the room was spacious & the bathroom huge, plus we had a private deck, small refrigerator, small microwave, coffee pot, table, cups & plates included, small flat screen TV you can plug your iPad into, cable & free Wi-fi included. Jeannette brought us clean towels every morning & cleaned up while we where gone exploring Napa. We only ate breakfast once but it was nice, fresh fruit, pastries, quiche, juice & coffee, plus she brought it up to us. Theres a pool, fire pit & BBQ that you can use, while out by the pool you can see the surrounding mountains/vineyards, you share this of course with the other guests.
Con's some of the things in the room where kinda dusty, some spider webs on the walls & ceilings, bedding, pillows & towels where faded out but clean. The mattress needs to be thrown away, its hard & at the same time you can feel the springs.
Jeannette lives down stairs, so you have to be mindful of that & not have the TV on loud at night or be loud period! There was a stain on the carpet that Jeannette asked us about, she wasn't rude in her tone at all but I did not like this, we didn't spill or drop anything & I disliked that by asking us she was almost accusing us of the stain, she wanted to know what it was so she could use the proper cleaner to remove it. How about removing some of the dust & spider webs? No credit card transactions, all payments must be in cash or check & need to be paid before getting the keys to your room.
Advice, take your own towels, bedding & pillows, although we had a coffee pot there was no coffee in the room so bring some with you, also take your own shampoo/body soap. If you want breakfast just let the inn keeper know before 6PM, if you want to go night swimming let them know & they will keep the pool open for you. Check out is by 11AM but if your running behind they are flexible, once again just let the inn keeper know.
My husband & I would stay at the valley oak inn again, even with the cons I mentioned, why you ask, the location was great & Jeannette & her husband where over all welcoming/nice. :) read more
