Exceptional beauty, comfort, and hosts.
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.

The perfect B&B
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.

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😁

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!

I’ll be back!
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.

Sean and Amy were wonderful hosts, very friendly and helpful, and made excellent breakfasts. We enjoyed our stay very much.
The house is a bit off the beaten track, about a mile off the paved road, and I wasn't aware before arrival that we'd be sharing a bathroom.

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

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.

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!

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!

Stunning B&B + Friendly Hosts + Centrally Located
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.

The surrounding area was not maintained, dirt road, rundown old houses near by, pictures of outside of property misleading.
