They take great care of their property. The rooms are meticulously decorated, very clean and stocked with what you need and many extras. The views of the vineyard next door from the balcony of our room were extraordinary-if we didn't know any better we could have been sitting at a french vineyard!

No complaints on the staff, hotel, breakfast, or pool. All great. We were so happy we chose this hotel and will be back.

i have been staying at this hidden treasure for about 10years. i am always amazed at the intimate feeling this inn has and how even after staying there for so many years the place still seems fresh and calm. the grounds are beautiful, having matured very well over the years, the employees always helpful and friendly. can't say enough good things about the place.

have been introducing it to many friends over the years and without exception they like it and feel it is a great value for the area. people who complain about the price have not spent much time checking prices in this area!

This would be such a great find if they had decent window coverings in the bedroom. Only insipid semi-sheer blinds that let all the light come into the room at sunrise. If you are an early riser this is a great place; I had to go buy a sleep mask. The room was nice and large with a terific bathroom setup for couples, good continental breakfast, too. Great location and very reasonable rates. But the brightness of the bedroom is a deal breaker, I won't stay here again.

We've just returned from a two night stay at the Vineyard Country Inn, a place we had never tried on any of our wine country trips, though friends had often recommended it. This time we were part of a large group which required 7 rooms. The Inn accommodated our party with ground floor rooms, which we greatly appreciated. The Inn is situated about a half mile away from downtown St. Helena directly on Highway 29 in the direction of Napa. As such, there is considerable traffic and its accompanying noise. There were certain times of the day when the traffic made it quite hard to access the highway when we were making excursions into St. Helena or south to Oakville.

I found the Inn itself to be charming. It has slate roofs and the brick chimneys are very creative (spirals and other decorative masonry touches). The grounds are heavily planted and the brick pathways to the rooms wander among jasmine, roses and other fragrant shrubbery (it is springtime anyway). The reception area is quite small, but the adjoining dining rooms are more commodious and look out onto the pool. The Inn keeps the tables set with china and silver, a lovely touch. I must say the pool was quite dirty when we arrived, but the pool man came the next day and it was much more appealing then. Nevertheless, it was quite cold (water temp- mid 60's) so only the heartiest of our entourage ventured into the water. More of us did use the spa, though.

Our suite had a sitting room with couch, coffee table, sink, fireplace and TV (no flatscreens here, though). The bedroom also had a TV in an armoir and another vanity area with a sink. And there was another, of course, in the bathroom. The king bed was very comfortable, though sheets were a little on the stiff side, which can occur with higher thread count. Our bedroom window faced the highway, but I did not find the noise to be overly bothersome, except for the occasional diesel truck. However, there was an annoying "air raid" type siren that went off nearby each night.

Breakfast was limited is scope, but offered very nice assorted coffee cakes, cereal, fruit and very good coffee! I particularly enjoyed morning runs from the Inn. I went south on the Highway about a block, turned right at the Ford dealer and proceeded down a country road through scattered houses and vineyards. You can make a 2 mile loop that brings you back past St. Helena High School.
