| Overview | [ Top ] | [ Bottom ] |
 | Surrounding Area
The property is located in the Collayomi Valley on the North slope of Mt St Helena, which looms over the northern end of the Napa Valley on its South side. This country is among the most pristine in this area, with much of the original forests remaining and the creeks running clear and clean. A huge Manzanita grove is home to hundreds of California Quail. We're located 4 miles from Middletown, where there is fine dining at Boar's Breath Restaurant, gliding at Crazy Creek Soaring, massage and workshops at Harbin Hot Springs, Geothermal Museum and Tours and beer at Mt St Helena Brewery. Several fine antique stores and wineries are within easy driving or bicycling distance. Just 2 miles away is Twin Pines Casino. Over the mountain to Calistoga, just 20 minutes away, brings you to a wide selection of World Class wineries, restaurants and shopping. |  | Accommodations
Our three cottages were built in 1997, when we opened our doors. The Innkeepers live in the main house, located several hundred feet from the cottages. Landscaping is an ongoing project as we develop more areas into gardens and wetlands. The birds are a constant source of entertainment
Cottages
Each cottage is furnished with a King-sized bed with a skylight above. Each has a private bath. One of the cottages is wheelchair accessible with a shower big enough for a party!
There is also a refrigerator and coffee maker in each. A TV and VCR is in each cottage and you have access to the Inn's extensive video collection. For your comfort there is a gas fireplace, air conditioner and overhead fan. A sliding glass door leads to a private redwood deck from which you look at lawns, gardens, the quail, the Manzanita Grove, the pond, waterfall and a clear view of Mt St Helena. |  | Amenities
The hot tub is very comfortable for two people. It's located on the outdoor deck of the main house. We invite you to soak in a hot tub under the clear skies of the mountains, watching the milky way; or enjoy your soak in a light rain.
Cotton robes are provided for your walk to the hot tub.
We host a country breakfast in the dining room of the main house on weekends and holidays and provide breakfast in your cottage during the week.
Breakfast starts with fresh squeezed orange juice and proceeds to main dishes such as French toast, huevos rancheros, pancakes, eggs, frittata, and bacon or sausage. Fresh fruits and vegetables from our organic garden are seasonally available at breakfast and for the picking. Of course we can accommodate special diets.
There is a private phone line in each cottage for local calls, calling card calls and internet access. |  | Services Offered

| Location |
| The Oasis is located in a forested area of northern california, surrounded by native species of flora and fauna. | | Directions | If you are on Hwy 29, going north through the Napa Valley, it takes a right turn at the flashing red light at Calistoga. If you go up the Silverado Trail, turn right at the stop sign at Hwy 29. Stay on 29 out of town and up and over Mt St Helena. When the road starts to straighten out on the other side of the mountain, you'll see a road sign for Lake County. Two miles past this sign turn right onto Hilderbrand Drive. The road passes over St Helena Creek and curves to the left. Ours is the third driveway on the left, the yellow and white house. The cottages are hidden behind the fence. You'll see the sign and address out front. | | Transportation | only automobile | | Airport | Sacramento - 100 miles | | |
