    Wonderful!! It is everything a bed and breakfast is suppose to be

    May 09, 2013

    Our room was beautiful..we poked around and found the other rooms were just as lovely. I loved the place so much I didn't want to go sightseeing. I could have spent the whole time inside. The breakfasts were delicous and beautifully plated. The owners were amazing, gracious and lovely to visit with...they made you feel special. I seriously will be back just to stay there again. Everything was original and not gutted like most B&B....you know, the outside looks old and the inside is modern. You must stay here!! Denise DeCarlo-Los Angeles California

    The White House has it all!

    May 08, 2013

    With a B & B you want more than a place to just stay. You expect a well run, clean Inn. It is the extras that make it special. The White House has it all. Excellent location in a fabulous neighborhood for early morning walks; unbelievable breakfast that makes lunch unnecessary; and an owner with a personality. Also, the price must be a mistake as it is so reasonable.

    March 28, 2013

    Portland's White House is an incredible place. The imposing exterior is just the beginning. The inside is filled with amazing antiques that somehow all fit to for a comfortable, luxurious experience.

    A Very Special Place to Stay

    March 19, 2013

    My wife arrived on our first visit to Oregon, the same week that the management staff was undergoing significant upheval. We wouldn't have been able to tell except that the new manager told us so. The rooms are wonderful, and the entire B7B is like walking through a museum of ancient antiquities. The owner, a renowned Restauranteur, prepared a superb breakfast for us on our last dat. This was a truly memorable stay.
