    The house is large enough to be considered an exclusive small hotel. Situated in a great neighborhood that is fund to walk in. Breakfast was excellent. We had one evening when the weather was perfect and we sat out on the patio and drank wine, great fun. Peter

    Warm and Welcoming

    June 05, 2013

    We had such a nice, comfortable time in June. No problems getting taxis back into the city. The breakfast was so large we didn't need lunch! Fantastic (and large) cookies left in the room on arrival. Though the breakfast table was full, we never heard another guest. Really lovely neighborhood just a couple blocks away from the "action" of every day life. But very quiet. Would definitely stay again.

    The Best of Everything!

    June 03, 2013

    My husband and I were married last year at Portland's White House, and returned this year to celebrate our first anniversary. Last year we filled every room with family from all over the country and everyone felt at home. This year the same warm ambiance embraced us with a variety of strangers and everyone loved it. The breakfasts are beautiful and delicious, and the event catering devine. Every room feels special. The entire manor is spotlessly elegant and welcoming. The staff presents a perfect blend of camaraderie and respect. The location is surprisingly close to downtown so you can easily drive to business centers, or just stroll a few blocks to local boutique shopping. I've stayed at many B&B's, and this one tops the list for quality and value.

    Great place -- lovely neighborhood

    May 28, 2013

    We stayed in the Chauffeur's Quarters -- a lovely room in the adjacent building to the Whie House. It was clean with plenty of light. As an older place, the walls were not particularly thick, but, thankfully, all of the rest of the guests were quiet and this was not an issue. I had given the White House a heads up about food allergies and they had a safe, delicious breakfast waiting for us. We absolutely loved staying in the Irvington neighborhood where the White House is located. We'll be back!

    Absolute luxury.

    May 20, 2013

    The room was beyond comfortable, and the bed -- higher off the ground than any mattress i've ever slept in -- was fabulous. The breakfast was top-notch, and the chef came out to make sure we were taken care of. Two little nitpicks -- would have loved help with my luggage up the narrow staircase. And management was there on check in but couldn't find a human anywhere when it was time to check out, so I left my keys in my room with the door open.

    Lovely B&B

    May 19, 2013

    The rooms and inn itself are absolutely lovely. We stayed in the Baron's room, which was spacious and appointed with gorgeous antiques. The location is very convenient.

    A Wonderful Home Away from Home

    May 17, 2013

    We arrived one day early without a reservation for the unexpected night. Our gracious host Lanning upgraded our room for both nights of our stay to the Balcony room! We loved the little balcony and the double shower heads in the bathroom. The room was beautiful as was the entire home, which was luxuriously decorated. Lanning and Teresa were the perfect hosts, they made us feel like part of the family. The breakfasts were fabulous and the homemade cookies and lattes were delicious! I would definitely recommend The Portland White House to anyone visiting Portland. I know where I'm staying the next time I'm in town!
