"If you are looking for a relaxing, calm and serene weekend enjoying God's most beautiful gifts to us, visit Backyard Garden Oasis.  This place is filled with redwoods, a waterfall, Koi pond, herb and vegetable garden, butterflies, hummingbirds, flowers, and variety of wildlife.  The main house has a spa which lookup to the Milky Way at night.  I don't think I have ever seen so many stars in my life. It's is surrounded by mountains and stream.  The best part is the innkeeper, Greta, who is so generous in open her home and heart to all visitors.  You also get a hearty, organic, homemade breakfast at the main house with New Age (calming and inspirational) music playing in the background to start off your day right.  Also, the cottages are very private and super clean.  Enjoy a fresh, hot cup of French Roasted coffee in front of the waterfall or go for a quiet morning walk and observe some amazing wildlife while you enjoy the first sunrays on your face.  Whatever you decide, you are bound for one of the most relaxing weekend of your life at Backyard Garden Oasis"...Sonal Basu, Walnut Creek, CA
