The Gaard House

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!

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.

My first time at a B&B did not disappoint! The couple running it 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.
