Beautiful, comfortable and incredibly relaxing with tasty breakfasts and extremely helpful hosts! The views out our window of Mt. Hood were wonderful! My only gripe was the lack of shampoo, which was mysterious given that there were so many other forms of soap, lotion, etc. amongst the amenities. 24-hour access to coffees, teas and cocoas, dvd/video library to borrow from. A wonderfully cozy place to stay, I wish we could have stayed a little longer.

We stayed four days over the recent Labor Day weekend and had a really great experience there. Paul and Diane are superb hosts, their warm and kind service, outstanding food and atmosphere, knowledge of the local area and its history, and the Inn was exceptionally clean. When arriving our first night, just upon being greeted and welcomed, shown around the Inn and then once in our room I commented that I would stay there again simply on first impressions.

Having just completed a two night stay at Mt. Hood Hamlet we just want to say it was a very nice experience. It was our first stay at a B&B so we had no idea what to expect. We were greeted with a warm welcome by Diane upon arrival (we arrived 2 hours early) but she insisted on checking us in at that time. She gave us a tour and mentioned several places to visit. The following morning we were treated to a fabulous breakfast of oatmeal souffle,fresh fruit and apple muffins,juice and sausage. All were so delicious that there was no need to add syrup, cream or jam. The next morning we were treated to absolutely delicious scones (made by Paul), Chili Brunch (kind of an egg souffle) sausage and again fresh fruit and juice. I can't say enough about the food.Thanks Paul. And Diane is such a gracious hostess. Thanks to Diane too. My husband and I highly reccommend having the Mt. Hood Hamlet experience to anyone who likes a country setting. One cannot find better scenery anywhere or better treatment of guests. Definitely a 5 star rating. Marilyn and Bob Drake- Kennewick, WA

I booked my room at Mount Hood Hamlet based on the unprecedented number of "Excellent" ratings on TripAdvisor.com. Dianne greeted us on arrival. As the first guests to arrive that evening, we had the opportunity to tour all of the guestrooms and see the meticulous architectural & interior design details that make this B&B such a treat. We were then given a tour of the common areas & invited to relax. We occupied the Cloud Cap room. It was superb and had a fireplace that was a perfect complement to the warm colonial decor. We had a perfect view of Mt. Hood from our bed & left the curtains & windows open each night; falling asleep to the moon over the mountain & waking to the songs of wild birds. The large bathroom was lovely as well, including exhaust fans that are, indeed, silent. The bath products were top quality. The towels were plush & absorbent. Each bath had safety handles for guests requiring that extra support when entering or exiting the shower. The house was built with a large center hall between the extra insulated rooms on the second floor, which minimizes any disturbance created by other guests. The artwork throughout the home was exquisite & meaningful. The library held an incredible array of books on a variety of topics. Meals were delightful occasions with the other guests. The meals all started with fresh local fruit. The main course was a balanced, nutritional gourmet meal using traditional family recipes. Guests ate heartily over lively conversation. The gardens were lush & beautiful. It seems that they are ever expanding. We all had our moments wandering through the formal garden into the field of gorgeous wildflowers. Paul & Dianne were enthusiastic & gracious hosts who imparted a wonderful spirit of adventure in all of the guests. They knew the local area inside & out and made many off the beaten track suggestions. Mt Hood Hamlet is simply the best.

Our great 3 evenings at the B&B were enhanced by Paul's excellent advice on where to hike and how to enjoy the area. Quiet morning soaks in the hot tub with a view to Mt. Hood across the field of beautiful wildflowers were a pleasant prelude to ample breakfasts and lively conversations around the table. We enjoyed our visit very much and recommend this place to anyone looking for a retreat from the more frenzied Hood River area.

Our neighbors stayed at Mt. Hood Hamlet last year & recommended it highly to us. It was everything that they had said about it. It was very clean, beautifully decorated, and had extra little "niceties" like the Japanese washcloths in our bathroom and the coffee, tea, & Hot chocolate outside our door. Paul & Diane were excellent hosts...very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area AND maps and directions. Their home is just as beautiful on the outside with a backyard full of flowers and a view of Mt. Hood.

Exceeded all our expectations. Best breakfasts of any B&B we have experienced. The view of Mt. Hood is awesome. Great hosts. It will be at top of my list if I return to Oregon! The home & grounds are great. We did not want to leave and we stayed four nights.

Having had the good fortune to have stayed at over 100 B & B's, we can honestly say that the Mount Hood Hamlet is one of the best experiences that we have ever had. It is a very special combination of physical beauty, great food and personal warmth. You need not look any further. Go there and enjoy!

We took the giant leap of staying at a B&B. From now on, I think this is the only way we'll travel. It was so much fun to visit with the very amiable hosts, Paul and Diane, and the other guests. We felt completely at home and welcomed. Both Paul and Diane were extremely helpful and informative. Breakfast was delicious and the service was great. (We got some recipes too!) The rooms were decorated beautifully, clean and comfy leaving nothing to be desired. I loved the architecture of the house and the way the house reminded me of the old houses on the east coast (my favorite style). We look forward to our next visit.

We stopped here late in the evening (but before 10:00pm) for our honeymoon. The front door was unlocked and we went in. We could here someone upstairs giving a tour so we waited and waited. When my husband went upstairs we were confronted with "how did you get in?" We were asked if we had any food allergies but were not offered a "Low Fat or Restricted" diet as their sight said that they would. When we suggested a few possibilities like eggs and bacon, we were told the menu had already been decided. The room was nice and clean but when we went into the room I set a small and clean backpack on the bed and was told not to place anything on the bed because the bedding was difficult to wash. Wow, that was warm and fuzzy! It was a very simply bedspread and once again, I had not returned from the outback with a soiled bag! We were told about the fan and how well it works in the bathroom but other than having a switch it did not seem to do a thing. The place was clean and probably a great retreat if one felt welcome. When we decided to leave instead of having breakfast we were confronted and nearly shamed for not stay with them. The house was also very much like a New Englander which is what I would expect from the east coast but not the beautiful Northwest. Each to their own. The countryside in the area is beautiful.

Our front door is normally locked. Normal check-in is between 4 and 7PM. We had just let in another late arriving couple, were showing them their room and apparently did not re-lock it so they could easily unload their car. We did not hear the new couple arrive and walk in. Since they did not ring the doorbell, we were surprised when a new face suddenly appeared on the stairs. Trying to be humorous we asked “How did you get in?” but apologize for being abrupt. This couple had made their reservation that day, since we had a last minute cancellation. When asked if they had any food allergies or restrictions, they said no. The low-fat egg dish had already been made to marinate overnight for breakfast. Since they had no restrictions, we did not offer to make them a different breakfast from our other six guests. We are sorry if we were abrupt in requesting luggage not be placed on the clean bed. There are luggage racks in the room. Experience has taught us that dirty luggage, which has been placed on the beds, requires extra laundry care to make the room ready for subsequent guests. The bathroom fan is part of a modern, whole-house ventilation system that is extremely quiet. Along with our geothermal heat-pump system, sound is nearly nonexistent. Our b&b’s architecture was inspired by an ancestral New England home, with ties to the founding of Providence, RI. This couple came to the breakfast area as we were serving and stated they were leaving - they didn't even want to try our breakfast. This was unexpected. We had to take time away from serving our other guests in order to check them out.

My husband and I spent the first four nights of our honeymoon here. The innkeepers, Paul & Diane, were terrific! Every morning Paul made suggestions for things to see and do. The best was the hint about taco night. Breakfasts were amazing, we are still making several of the recipes (which they gladly shared) two years later. The house was immaculate. Just outside our door was a coffee machine--you can brew your own coffee at any time of the day. The view from the breakfast room is superb on clear days as Mount Hood looms right outside. There is much to see and do in the area, or just wander through the orchards. We can't wait to go back again.
