Is so nice makes you feel right at home and is very helpful...and kinda cute too!! There are 8 rooms. After tax it was about 83 dollars. The rooms are very clean and smell clean. The beds are actually very comfortable. They have flat screen tv's and dish along with wifi. Even though there's isn't much In glenwood I would stay here again if I was ever In the area . Everyone I've talked to so far in glenwood have been so nice and inviting. Which is nice for being a one horse town and an outsider coming in. The prices in the hotel's. Convenient store are actually very comparable to other populated areas. Tommorow I will try the the hotel's diner and update the review then. Oh yeah tomorrow is my birthday and the lady said you get a free ice cream cone on your birthday!!!! That's like icing on the cake!! Okay I've tried the food now. The food is good, we've eaten here twice now. With 2 different cooks. The burgers are the main choice on the menu. Nothing spectacular but the food is good. Blaus the cook is an awesome guy. He is so friendly and was super attentive and helpful dude is great. There was another younger lady working the back also, I didn't get her name but she was also extremely nice and was super inviting and helpful. If you eat here you need to check their jalapeño ranch sauce........um....sooooo goood.

This Inn is really not a "Bed & Breakfast" and it is in need of repair and maintenance. The…read morewebsite talks about a breakfast, but it's really just some danish and "whole fruit" like apples. Etc. Fortunately they provided an in room coffee maker and coffee with filters. The room (The Gorge Room) was ok, and had a Murphy bed (as advertised), but it sure felt like a full not a queen size. Very small. Also, again as advertised, the bathroom for this room is down the hall. This wasn't a problem and we expected it (again, as advertised). However, upon getting into the shower, both the diverter handle and water pressure/temp handle came right off! Fortunately, I was able to get both back into the slots internally and take showers, but that should definitely be fixed/replaced. Overall this is a very old property with lots of charming design and decor. Just be aware that this may come with challenges, and older reviews make it sound better than it is. It certainly isn't living up to its older reputation. It is also largely an unstaffed property. I did see a lady working in back and spoke to her briefly, but other than that, no one.

I overheard other guests saying that breakfast was no longer provided, even though it is advertised as a b&b. This didn't affect me personally, but I did find that to be misleading. There were signs saying that beer and wine were available if the innkeeper was in, but we were around most of the evening and didn't see any offerings. Additionally, the hot tub was closed. Check-in was relatively easy, the room was as presented. The porch was nice to relax on. Not a bad stay, just feel that it could have been more personalized and up to the description.

Or where they were so creaky that you hesitate to use the bathroom at night for fear of waking up the whole building. Truthfully, R&R Guest House is none of those things. Kevin and Julie are friendly and will help you with as much or little guidance as you want on local hikes, wineries etc. But they aren't in your face or space... Another big highlight is that this property feels new and old at the same time. Definite charm retained in their remodeling. Yet, no feeling of "this doorknob might come off in my hand." And the hot tub and pool are very, very nice. The landscaping is lush and well laid out. Finally--the two meals we hadat this B&B was consistently the best meals we had that weekend, compared to restaurants in both Hood River and The Dalles.

Should you choose to stay with the lovely couple that runs the place, Pete & Annette, you won't regret it as they are truly the most inviting hosts. This is not your Grandma's B&B! They have 3 permanent tents complete with beds in them, one of which is a tree house. That's right a tree house! As a guest you have access to the bath house as well. I had the pleasure of working directly with both Pete and Annette for a friend's wedding. Not only did our hosts do everything they could to transform their working orchard into a gorgeous Wedding Venue, but they were there every step of the way to make sure everything went smoothly for the guests. Need a generator, or a way to park all of your guests amongst the pear trees? Pete's got it covered! Need all the pretty touches from a garden to spruce up the Honey Moon Suite/Tree House or a back-up catering plan when it looks like your caterer is not going to show up? Don't worry, Annette has you covered! The grounds are spread out and do require a bit of walking from the tree house, tent sites, bath house, main house and reception space. But it's absolutely worth it. The Orchard is beautiful, the venue is one of a kind but the hospitality here is incredible! Regardless of if you need a weekend getaway or a venue for a special event, I'd recommend Bella Vista without a moment's hesitation.

The reception area is really sweet and charming- lights were hanging inside of the tent and hay barrel couches with lace sheets surrounded the dance floor. We had a great bonfire and many of our guests opted to camp out in the orchard. Annette and Pete were fabulous hosts- they really made everything come together seamlessly. Annette did a great job with my makeup and her daughter, Tiffany, was an amazing bartender. Annette and Pete took care of many of the prep details and were always available for any questions/concerns I had. Both were fully present and so helpful the entire wedding day and evening. The following morning, campers awoke to snacks and coffee! Bella Vista is a very special place and we feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to get married there! Thanks Annette + Pete!

Glenwood, Washington is a small town of about 500 people, located near Mt. Adams, about a 20 minute…read moredrive off of the not very beaten path of Highway 141. Glenwood's two claims to fame are the Conboy Wildlife Refuge and it's yearly Father's Day weekend rodeo (which is pretty small on the rodeo circuit when compared to towns like Goldendale or Ellensburg). Glenwood was first settled in the mid-to-late 1800s by homesteaders that came West in search for free land to build a home and life on. My wife's family homesteaded the area in droves in the late 1800s, along with a few other large families. Today the area is mostly farms and ranches, all with a striking view of Mt. Adams. The Shade Tree Restaurant and Inn is about it for Glenwood's retail corridor, all the other businesses are boarded up. And when I say all, I mean about 3 or 4 other buildings, this was never a hoppin' town. The Shade Tree includes a gas station, video rental store, six room inn, restaurant and convenience store all-in-one. The town also now has a small store with food and some tables, but the Shade Tree remains as the main hub for community gathering besides the church, highschool and rodeo grounds. It's the only option in town for eating out beyond the occasional Cowboy Breakfast fundraiser at the highschool or hot dog stand during the rodeo weekend. While many country bars and restaurants may have a dear head mounted on the wall, at the Tree, it's on a weird tree stump sculpture in the middle of the place that includes a bunch of fake plants, plastic flowers and brightly painted birdhouses... complete with fake birds and nests. Country kitsch, used to brighten up old broke down buildings, tends to be the decorating trend in the real small town bars and restaurants of Washington. It's a far cry from the piney, Twin Peaks, log-cabin feel the country-in-the-city establishments tend to favor. What seemed like a good idea at the time, to use old tractor seats as the stools at the Shade Tree's counter, turned out to be about the most uncomfortable seating option, at least according to the locals. But then again, the locals seem to like to complain. While the atmosphere at the diner seems relaxed, when you walk in the door, whether you are a local or not, expect every person in the place to stop and stare at you. And if you spend enough time here, you realize the locals pretty much talk crap about everyone they don't recognize, as well as locals they have some gossip on. As is often the case in small towns, everyone knows everyone's business. And they sure seem to like to talk about it. Stained foam tiled ceilings, cheap wood paneling, and badly painted nature scenes dominate the landscape here, although there is a rusty old tool mounted here and there. The men's bathroom looks like that of the worst dive in the city. It's tiny, smells like ass, often has shit on the seat, has had a broken fan that sounds like a misfiring motorcycle engine for years, and the soap dispenser is in pieces. It's saving grace is an old photograph of a cowboy taking a bath in a cattle water tub above the pisser. This is a small town diner, it's old, stinky, broke down, low-fi, beat up, and rough around the edges. It's well-worn feeling is part of the appeal, it somehow makes it feel cozy. The meals at the Shade Tree are nothing to write home about. The German Sausage as a breakfast side looks suspiciously like the lunch hot dog, only cut in half and fried. And the hamburgers you can tell come from pre-formed frozen patties, a pet peeve of mine. But the hashbrowns, fries, fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, eggs, and chicken fried steak all are great, they definitely know how to fry stuff here. And the service is quick and friendly and the prices are totally reasonable. I'd have to wager, even if the Shade Tree weren't the only meal in town, I'd still be inclined to stop here for a bite to eat when traveling through.

Our room was so cozy (and in this case that isn't code for "small": we had a king size bed and the room still felt spacious) with an electric fireplace and comfortable bed with giant pillows. Our bathroom had a giant, beautiful soaking tub which we did take advantage of and even my 6' tall husband found it comfortable. Everything other reviewers have stated is true: it is charming, comfortable and fun. The design and decor all feel thoughtful and natural. Every space is inviting and it seems there is something delightful to see around every corner: a DIY photo booth closet inside the front door with props (!), a make-your-own-trail-mix counter along with coffee/tea/cocoa access 24/7...even just the seating areas inside the front door made me smile. Breakfast was quite the spread & the owner/manager (?) was there with a couple of staff and even took our "order" for what kind of eggs we wanted. They were all so friendly and casual I felt like I was staying at a friend's house. One little thing I never thought I cared about: their towels were SO soft and smelled SO good. I have never experienced anything like it and now I know there is such a thing as an amazing towel experience. Check in was a breeze: there is a parking lot behind the house (1 car per room) & we basically just showed up with a door code & details texted/emailed to us and went straight to our room which was open with keys in the door waiting for us (the exterior access points to the house are all locked/secure so no worries about security). Stay here if you get the chance, it is wonderful.
