Overall Ratings & Reviews The Gaard House

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!

Sean and Amy are amazing hosts. I was in for a family wedding at a local winery and the property was very close and convenient. Beautiful house and facility. SUPER CLEAN. Huge deck out back for happy hour and meals. Very nice and will come back again!!!

We enjoyed our stay with the Gaards. Loved the freshly cooked pancakes and parfait for breakfast. Highly recommended!

The hospitality at the Gaard House was amazing!! The property is beautiful and relaxing.

We had a wonderful time!

Absolutely lovely stay - quiet and comfortable. The property is beautiful and the hosts are so friendly and accommodating. And the breakfast was restaurant-quality! We hope to return again soon!

A beautiful house, very spacious and well appointed. Wish I was staying longer to enjoy it more.

Great place. Warm and friendly hosts. Amazing breakfast. Lots of amenities if you were staying in. Only drawback is no elevator for the second floor. I'd stay there again.

Beautiful valley views, close to all our favorite wineries, and an incredible breakfast to start the day off!

Wonderful property with expansive views, fantastic host family and cook, could not have been better.

Shawn and Amy were wonderful hosts! Communication with them was easy. Breakfast was delicious and personally prepared by the hosts. The property was also convenient to the many wineries in the area. We especially enjoyed meeting "Trouble" the cat! We would readily stay here again in the future.

Cozy, isolated home on a hill overlooking the valley and hills below. Excellent view, great room, and tasty breakfast. Hosts were Welcoming and casually informative of the space, area, and locals.

Convenient to downtown Carlton. Quiet setting. Breakfast included.

Great hosts! Lovely breakfast! Would stay again.

Shawn & Amy are great hosts. The Gaard House is impecable inside and out. A beautiful and very comfortable place to stay. A highlight is the full breakfast, which is held at a table shared with all guests. It made for an enjoyable morning with people from all over the world.

Shawn and Amy are wonderful host- great communication- very welcoming feeling from the second we walked in. Shawn’s breakfast was off the chain (which means wonderful) and hey- Coffee was super delish! (Most folks don’t know how to make good coffee) Looking for an amazing view, comfortable bed, accommodating host this is your place- enjoy!

Very Quiet and beautiful country side

Great hosts, delicious breakfast, and you get serenading by frogs in the evening!

We had a wonderful stay at Gard House after a day of wine tasting. Shawn and Amy were wonderful hosts along Diego who I enjoyed a game of pool with. Breakfast was delicious and nutritious and had a Norwegian flare. We even got to meet their Great Dane Freya. I would describe the property as tranquil and serene. You feel an immediate sense of peace and calm both inside and outside of the house. It was a perfect stay for our anniversary. Clean, comfortable rooms and beds. Just what we needed

The Gaard house is nestled in the beautiful rolling Carlton hills. The best part was to enjoy a glass of wine on the huge deck after dinner and watch the stars. For those that like the comforts of home, there was a fun home theater and pool table. Shawn and Amy were the perfect hosts with terrific recommendations for wine tasting (Ghost Hill winery a mile down the street) and dinner options. Breakfast was simply fabulous! The location was convenient to McMinnville, downtown Carlton, and the Newberg/Dundee area, making it a great base camp to explore the area. We'll definitely be back!
