    A grand and historic house in a neighborhood of lovely old homes. The food was great. A huge breakfast at a shared table in a big dining room, and cookies and chocolates in the room. An easy walk to a commercial district, or an easy drive to downtown. A cozy and charming inn, much better than a sterile hotel. We enjoyed our stay and would come back.

    I use this B&B every time I am in Portland for business. Needless to say, I feel very much at home here; I'm always made to feel very welcome. I plan my workouts and my eating to accomodate the incredible breakfasts.

    This was our third stay at the Whitehouse and will not be our last. Everything was just perfect. The location to a nice walk with great restaurants and shops add to enjoyment. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. The breakfasts are sumptuous and really set you up for the day. They have to make the best cookies ever.
