We found this wonderful hotel last minute passing through the area. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself is a beautiful period piece of architecture. The grounds are equally beautiful. We enjoyed a delicious dinner in the bistro and a good nights rest. Felt pampered and taken care of. Breakfast was a treat too with fresh fruit and homemade muffins. Absolutely wonderful.

I love this property, the staff and the small town remoteness. I recommend for anyone for a destination or a pass through. Inviting, quaint and friendly. The cost is super reasonable. We got a unit with a bathroom this time, very nice. Previously, a shared bathroom, no concern with this. The back patio in the evening, we sat at a table in the low light and drank wine. Very romantic and very recharging of our souls. The staff is super pleasant, meet them, you will be pleased.

A step back in history and lovely host. Great breakfast with local fare well balanced and delicious. The restaurant was great too, even with a limited menu during the mid-week. The rooms are clean and comfortable with bohemian beds and covers quality sheets and towels. Really nice to see restoration and quality in workmanship in this small town in this not to far from the gorge and the Dalles.

What a gem! This vintage hotel is well cared for and felt modern, while it is filled with antiques and memorabilia. It is clean and the amenities are well-thought-out. The food at the restaurant was fabulous as was the service. And the outdoor patio dining with live music at a volume that you could still carry on a conversation was thoroughly enjoyable. The family, owners and caretakers at this hotel, were the kindest, most generous people I’ve ever met. We truly enjoyed spending time with them. We were able to explore Mount Hood and the surrounding orchards and vineyards. The surrounding areas, including the Columbia Gorge, are stunning making a road tour in the area an absolute must. We were there during moderate outdoor temperatures and the rooms were perfect, but I do suspect that during the winter it could be a little chilly, as it does have the original windows. This would not deter me from staying there. I understand they have special decorations for the holidays and we are already looking at dates to go back. Highly recommend this place.

Wonderful room and service -- in spite of being a 120 year-old property. The history of the region and specifically of the hotel made this a wonderful excursion.
