Simply the best B&B my wife & I have ever enjoyed. The Parisian Room upstairs with the adjacent Sun Room was like having a large suite ... wonderful & relaxing. Chef quality food that goes down real good. Thank You Patrick ... The Petersons

I stayed here while I was taking the bar exam in Clackamas. I figured it would be a good place to get away from bar-induced stress (and I was right -- couldn't imagine a more relaxing set-up.) The morning of my bar exam, I thought I locked my keys in my car, which was going to make me late to the exam, and would make me automatically fail. The owners were so nice they volunteered to wake up early and drive me to Clackamas. I later found the keys so I didn't need the help, but that's just one indication of how much these innkeepers value their guests. I've stayed at a lot of B and B's (maybe 10 per year for the last four years) and this inn is among the top two! Here are just some of the other details that made this place such a joy: 1) Quiet forested location near the city 2) Fantastic food. Breakfasts start with berries and creme fresh and then progress to either custard pancakes or an omelette. The chef buys fresh produce every day at the farmer's market, and it shows! 3) Free wine (red and white) and chocolate in the afternoon. 4) Good towels (fluffy and thick) 5) Charming craftsman style house 6) Innkeepers who really care.

Staying at Forest Springs Bed and Breakfast is undoubtedly the highlight of our Portland trips, and we look forward to returning every year. The house itself is exceptionally charming. Much love and attention has gone into creating an atmosphere that is always relaxed and welcoming. The rooms are tastefully furnished and the grounds are beautifully maintained. It is a hidden gem in the forest that looks like it sprung from the pages of a magazine. Moreover, it is the hospitality and warmth of its Inn Keepers, Patrick and Stan, that really make this stay a 5 Star experience not to be missed if you are traveling in the area. Both are extraordinarily gracious with their time and knowledge, having pointed us in the right direction numerous times regarding what to see and where to go. As an added bonus, Patrick is a superb talent in the kitchen; you will not find a better breakfast in the Portland Metro area. From his savory egg dishes to his sweeter baked sensations, from his freshly brewed coffee to his perfect pot of tea, Patrick's breakfasts are an indulgent experience we look forward to well ahead of our trips. Without reservation, we highly recommend a stay at their establishment. You will certainly have a wonderful experience!

This B&B is run by one of the courteous owners, the rooms are excellent, the atmosphere relaxed but clean, structured, and tidy. The breakfast was top chef quality. Overall I'm very glad I found this B&B, and will be returning if an when I visit Portland again.

One of the best B&B's I have stayed at in a while, Wish I had more time. I loved the setting in the Forrest and yet so close to area attractions. My room was super comfy and the Breakfast was delicious. Thanks Patrick for making my Friends Birthdays a memorable one.

We were very pleased with our visit to Forest Springs in May 2005. The B&B is located on the fringes of Gresham, convenient to Portland, on a fabulous property. We felt like we were in a forest, rather the heart of the largest metropolitan area in Oregon. Patrick was a fine host--treating us to wine and stories. He was very knowledgeable and set a very nice breakfast the next morning.

We have stayed at numerous bed and breakfast inns, and Forest Springs is definitely among our favorites. The host, Patrick Arbuckle, is extremely personable and friendly. His stories kept us laughing, and he kept our wine glasses filled. In the morning, we were treated to the most delicious homemade scones -- and that was just for starters. Patrick even prepared a special to-go breakfast for some other guests who had to leave before breakfast was officially served. The inn is located in a quiet area of town, but convenient to Portland. The price was reasonable, and much cheaper than anything else we found. The rooms are tastefully decorated and very cozy.
