We stayed in the Casablanca Suite and loved every minute of it. The room is truly a suite and very roomy. A jacuzzi to relax in with a separate bathroom with shower. A small kitchenette type wall with fridge microwave and sink was a nice touch. The bed was very comfortable as was the rest of the Inn. The gardens were beautiful and I would love to see how much better they must be in spring. Top it all off with gracious hosts and we had a very relaxing and rejuvenating stay.

There is always a little anxiety when booking three nights at a B&B you've never seen or heard about. This ended up being a wonderful experience. From our lovely room to the delicious breakfasts, every bit of our stay was wonderful. I would recommend C'est la Vie Inn for anyone coming to Eugene. We will be back!

I have stayed in many a bed & breakfast. I have come to expect cleanliness, hospitality, good and healthy food, quiet, and security. I found ALL of these pieces at C'est la Vie Inn in Eugene. It is quite apparent that the innkeepers take pride in their home. I'm visiting there again this month! Anna Storms Ingram, Arizona.

I was calling at the last minute on a weekend that had several of the hotels in Eugene sold out. I stumbled on C'est la Vie, who had a last minute cancellation, and counted myself lucky. I had no idea... Very friendly and accommodating service, impeccable decor, comfortable bed, flat-screen cable television, claw-foot tub... the list goes on. I have stayed in some very nice places in Napa, Mendocino, San Diego, New York, Amsterdam... and this one is right up there - world class! Highly recommend.

The house is lovely. Beautiful gardens. Furnishings are perfect for the era of the building. Very nice management. Food was fantastic. Very accommodating. A little on the expensive side but very nice.

As we drove up to the B&B, I was awe struck by the beauty of the house and grounds. The innkeeper was working in the yard, but was so pleased to see us, he stopped and gave us a tour of his home. The gardens are too difficult to describe. They are as beautiful as any arboretum I have been to, complete with names of all the plants. Our stay was exceedingly comfortable and the breakfast was outstanding, even though we happen to be the only ones there that night (weeknight). I would highly recommend this to any friend. Thank you for a pleasant stay. Anne Allen

Three of us stayed two nights at C’est La Vie in the magnificent 750 square foot “Casablanca” room – the best room at the Inn. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Ann Marie and Jack, the proprietors, who graciously helped us with our luggage and gave us a tour of the house. Every detail of the remodeled interior was designed by Ann Marie’s exquisite European taste. Husband Jack maintains the attractive grounds, which feature a variety of plants and other intriguing curiosities, like an outdoor model train. What impressed us the most was that we had first-rate accommodations for half the price of a mediocre competitor. We started each day with a hot, hearty European breakfast with eggs, meats, breads, and fruits brought to our room in an elegant presentation by their cheerful morning assistants. The only dark moment of our visit was having to check out and leave the pampered life we enjoyed at C’est La Vie. We highly recommend C’est La Vie, not only for travelers seeking lovely accommodations while passing through Eugene, but also for folks in need of some quiet, elegant, romantic time away. C’est La Vie is worthy of being its own vacation or retreat destination. SUSIE and JESSICA from Las Vegas, NV; and JOHNNY from Portland, OR.

We have stayed at several bed and breakfasts over the years and we rate C'est La Vie as one of the best we have ever stayed at. Anne Marie and Stephanie were terrific hosts. We will recommend it to all of our friends.

My experience with this property took place in: August, 2007 C'est La Vie, my first B & B experience was excellent, a definite ‘must’ for the connoisseurs of hospitality. Surprisingly, not one aspect of the C’est La Vie may be criticized. We stayed in a variety of rooms; the Monet, the Gauguin and the Casablanca. All rooms were meticulously decorated, clean, quiet, comfortable, with fine linen and large, updated bathrooms. Our favorite room was the Casablanca, which provided plenty of space for us and a refrigerator well stocked with welcomed, gratis drinks. My requests were quickly accommodated including resetting the temperature thermostats in our room. Although the historic house restorations and immaculate garden are more than perfectly delightful, hospitality set this property apart from any other. Usually I prefer to be left alone, however, I found myself spending time with the proprietors, Ann Marie and Jack because they are interesting, very nice and warm people. The housekeeper was also lovely, insisting we take several pieces of fresh blueberry blintz casserole with me when we departed.

What drew me to C'est la Vie was a great web presence. It looked good online, but when I found that it's even better in real life, I realized that others should be so lucky. Anne-Marie is such a warm hostess and the accommodations could not have been better. She's a wonderful chef AND she makes great coffee, both of which she was sure I had enjoyed enough of. The house is such a pleasure, as is Anne-Marie, that I can't recommend it highly enough.

My husband and I have stayed at C'est la Vie Inn several times and have always found our host, Anne Marie, charming and the place itself, warm and inviting. We have stayed in the Monet and Matisse rooms--both are wonderful but I confess a particular fondness for the quirky fish wallpaper in the Matisse, as well as the beautiful window above the tub in the bath. The Inn is very well appointed. In fact, we've never seen so much attention to detail in all of our B and B travels in Oregon. The building facade is done in whimsical pinks and blues and the entrance way and fencing is a sight to behold. I understand that Anne Marie's husband is the master behind the Inn's pretty pond and extensive landscaping--there is even an outdoor train set if you're into that sort of thing (and my toddler son certainly was). Anne Marie seems to enjoy her duties as Innkeeper and Host--she has sat in the back garden with us chatting as the sun sets and she has been quick to offer helpful suggestions on our travel itinerary. We've had a few different breakfasts--one a bit more ornate than the other--but both absolutely delicious. Anne Marie is a wonderful French chef. Overall, our stays are relaxing, fun and always memorable. For a chic B and B experience, C'est la Vie Inn reigns supreme.

C'est La Vie is beautiful in every detail. The carriage house is a dream. Great way to launch our daughter at U Oregon. We hope to visit again soon.

Everything was quality + elegant + food was great

We felt like we were intruding rather than being a guest as there was a meeting going on. It would have been better if the not to have anyone staying on that evening as we felt uncomfortable. Breakfast was ordinary and we felt rushed to get out. We had hoped for a restful stay and it seemed very tense, instead.

The C’est La Vie Inn is in the center of town and offers a peaceful, elegant and very private high-end hotel experience. I was greeted at the door by Madame Lizet at this beautiful restored Victorian home. She gave me keys to the door and my room. My room was luxurious. I stayed in the Gauguin room with all of Gauguin’s colors and fabrics reminiscent of his paintings. The antique bed featured high quality sheets with a fluffy duvet and blanket beneath it. Needless to say, sleep came effortlessly. Tired after a day of shopping in Eugene, I put my clothes away in authentic antiques and watched some TV. I could either purchase a local area wine outside of my room on an antique bench with glasses and an opener, or go down to the butler’s pantry and select gratis offerings of water, soda, and a variety of snacks if I had a late night craving. (If you are lucky, Anne-Marie will have the cookie jar full of her home made cookies!) The bathroom was a delight – all fixtures were period pieces. All the bottles of shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and body cream are featured in a lavender scent and laid out on a table along with a hair dryer for your shower. The towels were amply stocked in a gorgeous double-tier chrome holder. Every surface was clean and sparkling. Breakfast was extraordinary. It is served in the grand Victorian dining room which overlooks the extensive gardens, seating areas, and pathways through the grounds. Madame Lizet served a delicious frittata accompanied by excellent coffee, an assortment of fresh fruit- berries, mangos, and bananas, fresh orange juice and a choice of banana bread or French bread. She also had on hand soy milk and other specialty foods. I would certainly recommend this experience to anyone that is seeking out a private escape back to luxury and elegance. A family reunion, a wedding party, or a private place for a single soul or couple would all find C’est La Vie Inn the experience to be remembered and repeated, often.
