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!

My first time at a B&B did not disappoint! Shawn and Amy 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.

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 games😁

Gaard House is everything we look for in a B&B: very welcoming and accommodating but also private. We loved getting some food recommendations and relaxing on the beautiful patio. One of us had to work remotely in the morning, and that went fine, too. Breakfast was lovely.

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!

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

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.

The Gaard House is a hidden gem centrally located in the Willamette Valley. Gorgeous property with convenient access to Carlton, Newberg, Dundee, and McMinnville. The hosts were both incredibly kind and hospitable. The room was comfortable and had every amenity imaginable. The morning breakfast was quite generous and was much more elaborate than I've ever experienced at a B&B. Can't wait to come back and absolutely would recommend to friends and family.

Location was amazing. We found some amazing hiking/walking trails in the AM and then drank some of the best pinot noir in beautiful Tuscan-esque vineyards in the PM...all within driving distance. Hosts were even better. Amy and Shawn were both kind and warm in welcoming us to their BnB. Every morning started with a 5-star quality breakfast to start the day right (they were very mindful of food allergies) and our day was often filled with their great suggestions of places to visit, food to eat, and wine to drink.
