First time here after our trip to Bonneville Hatchery. Since my nephew was hungry and we were also…read morein the mood for beer and eats, we stopped here to satisfy those cravings in early September. Seating is mainly on the rooftop where you get a nice overlook of the Cascade Locks neighborhood. The beer list is mainly handcrafted beers from Oregon so if you're looking for domestic items such as Coors light or Bud light, this ain't your location. We did some Kolschs and the Day Hike Pale Ales. The Pale Ale is tasty and easy to drink. My sister likes the Kolsch although it didn't appeal to my girlfriend as it was a bit sour for her. She did like the Pale Ale so I had to order another one for her. As for food, I went with the farmers salad and the wings while my sister got the classic cheeseburger and my girlfriend went with the chicken sandwich. The food came out pretty quick and we dug in. The salad was bigger than I expected and I loved the beets and bacon with the goat cheese mixed in. As for the wings, I could've done without those as they came out dry and tough. The sauce is pretty good (hazy ipa buffalo) which I'm sure would amplify the flavor of the wings if they weren't so stiff. My girlfriend and sister both enjoyed their chicken sandwich and burger. I probably should've ordered one of those cause they looked tasty. My nephew ordered the kids chicken tenders w/ fries. He ate them and didnt' complain which is a good thing. The location also hosts events such as weddings and engagement parties; not surprised given the views of the area and the access to the beer. Apparently there's also a Gorges Beer location directly in Southeast Portland if you don't want to go all the way to Cascade Locks. This spot is alright; my nephew enjoys it here so I'll probably be here again when we visit the Hatchery next time we come.

The cabins are also so modern inside it's like staying in a hotel but way better on my opinion. I met the owner and she was so accommodating and happy to share the properties history.

I just had my wedding at Maple Leaf 9/9/17 and if you are looking for a venue in the Gorge you MUST…read moreMUST MUST book it here!! For starters Jami is beyond amazing, she is a fun, upbeat girl who knew how to take care of everything. She is super responsive to my messages and really flexible with times for letting me visit. (BTW her dogs are the cutest!) She was open to all my ideas and had great suggestions of her own. The property itself is gorgeous, warm and inviting. When I first walked in, I felt like you didn't have to add a thing and it would be a beautiful wedding. The property is beautifully landscaped with lots of adorable Pintrest-worthy touches (Welcome to the Wedding signs, ect). The view from the windows is jaw-dropping. I had a lot of family from around the country come for the wedding and everyone was really impressed with the natural beauty of the Gorge, and Maple Leaf really proudly showcased that. The venue is a fantastic mix of indoor/outdoor space: the indoor area is professionally designed to be flexible for all your needs; wall outlets everywhere, flexible space, great kitchen, and really nice bathrooms! Right out the doors is their patio area with romantic festival lights strung up. Our guests really enjoyed spending time on the patio when evening set in. The grassy lawn in the back is also fantastic, we used that space for a bunch of lawn games (that Jamie provided!) for our guests. Also included are two suites for the bridal party to get ready in, and that was A LIFESAVER. Plenty of room for all of us to prep the morning of, with a great kitchen for all our 'did you eat? eat something!!' snacks. I cannot recommend Maple Leaf Events enough!

Wedding Couples Beware! My daughter had a June wedding planned at this venue. She paid in FULL…read morebefore the final due date, and then Covid 19 hit and turned the world upside down. The decision was made to cancel the wedding since their guest list was over 100 and state restrictions prohibited any gatherings over 25 people. All of the other wedding vendors gave FULL refunds without hesitation and voided their contracts due to the pandemic.Even the photo booth that stated on their website that NO refunds were available, gladly refunded her money. After several emails back and forth, Jami decided to give a partial refund. She tried to give some other dates that didn't work for them. My daughter was very upset and thought she would just keep the $1000 save the date money, but she kept more than that amount. She explained that she is a small business, and that she has overhead. Anyone that has looked at this venue realizes it is a DIY wedding venue, and she has NO staff. She choose to keep a large amount of money for circling a date on a calendar. Shame on her for causing mental and financial stress during this crisis. If you plan on having your wedding at this venue, just realize that even a national pandemic doesn't void her contract. You will be donating(not by choice) your hard earned money to her small business for NO services rendered. For a wedding venue owner, she isn't very compassionate. Every bride plans and looks forward to her wedding day. Mother of the Bride

Great cabins in a quiet setting despite being near busy road. The whole cabin was exceptionally…read moreclean, well equipped with a decent tub, separate shower and a very good bed. I asked for some fresh milk for my tea and in a jiffy it was provided. The newish owners seem to relish dealing with the great unwashed travelling public...something I did in my own hospitality business for 15 years. A credit to them both and also their excellent staff. Our cabin was set slightly away from the others and thus I relaxed naked in the swinging chair whilst supping some local vino and reading in the sunshine. DEEP JOY!

Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and the cabin was beautifully appointed. The peaceful grounds were perfect for a relaxing stroll, and we loved spending time on the porch swing. One of the highlights was having breakfast delivered to the cabin--homemade and absolutely delicious, it was the perfect way to start the day, especially when enjoyed on the porch. The entire experience was quiet, restful, and full of thoughtful touches. I can't recommend Carson Ridge Luxury Cabins enough. And as a bonus, Backyard Brewing is just across the street and has amazing pizza!

They had the ceremony under the shade of a huge, beautiful tree. The "coordinator" had great control over the entire event from cuing every person, including the participants for the ceremony, DJ, caterers, etc. and that made everything seamless. She knew exactly what the bride and groom had wanted, in all aspects. Everything, everywhere was clean and tidy and overall it was such a phenomenal wedding. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ainsworth House & Gardens for any event.

The help we received from Elizabeth, our assigned planner was EXCEPTIONAL. All I can say about Elizabeth is to trust the expert! She was so good at "herding cats" keeping things on task and making sure we (bride and groom) were always taken care of. They want your vision to come true and bend over backward to make it happen. You first think maybe the pricing is a bit much, but believe me, when you add up all that's included and the care you receive, it's a bargain, seriously! I would recommend the place to anyone holding a special event, it's gorgeous! Thank you, Team Ainsworth!!!!
