"Joe and Shari Lobenstein are excellence hosts, and made each of our 6 person party feel special. The setting and the bedroom decors, are wonderful in that cleanliness and functionality are foremost, with wonderfully vast king size beds in every room. The property is a functional wine growing entity, with Joe taking the time to explain the product that he sells to Wineries which dot the area North and South of the location on NE Abbey Road in Carlton, Oregon. The scenery from the upstairs balcony is grand with woods, creek and grapes in every direction. This is the center of the Pinot Noir area of the Willamette Valley, about a hour's drive south of Portland. The nearest big town is McMinnville, about 5-6 miles south on Route 99 W, where you can buy exotic cheese and other yummy delights for your hors d'oeuvre sessions on the balcony, with the many Pinot Noir's purchased on your Winery day trips, prior to heading off to dinner. Breakfasts here are not for the dainty consumer. The Lobenstein's cook large well appointed breakfasts with smoothies, fruit, various meats and egg dishes, along with great French toast and waffles. Whew! Call them up or visit their wonderfully arranged website and get ready to enjoy your experience spring, summer or fall."
