The bed and breakfast was a perfect, quiet place for a stay to visit wineries. We had an early half- marathon run the next morning, and they were able to accommodate and give us some breakfast beforehand, and allowed us to check out late after the run. We will absolutely come back!

This was an amazing retreat for the weekend. Hospitality was off the charts and the breakfast was thoughtful and delicious. The property is breathtaking and close to everything we needed. We are basketball fans and the theatre room was an unexpected surprise that saw plenty of use for NCAA conference tournament gamesšŸ˜

Lovely home and grounds and terrific breakfast. Hosts where very accommodating and personable and went out of there way to make us welcome and comfortable. However, it is not immediately obvious that there would be a shared bathroom at booking and the advertised queen sized bed seemed more like a double bed.

Iā€™ll be back!

My first time at a B&B did not disappoint! The couple running it were excellent hosts. Both the bed and the breakfast were great. I was surprised at all the extra parts of the property that a whole family could enjoy, like the theater and game room in the basement. Obviously the wine country views and bird chatter in the morning were lovely too.

It was a wonderful stay! Shawn and Amy were wonderful hosts and just genuinely good people! They were super accommodating, friendly, and not fussy! Our room was clean and comfy. The bed was also comfortable and we slept well every night. Breakfasts were perfect whether we ate indoors with the other guest or we ate out on the terrific patio. The view of the vineyards and the overall spaciousness of the shared areas were perfect for our much-needed vacation. The shared bathroom was clearly cleaned very well. We highly recommend the Gaard House and look forward to getting back over there ourselves!

Unforgettable Stay at The Gaard House

Our stay at The Gaard House was unquestionably the highlight of our first trip to Oregon. Shawn and Amy are exceptional hosts, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the house is equipped with everything you could possibly need. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and inviting. Overall, The Gaard House is the perfect place to unwind and rest while exploring the area. Highly recommended!
