Briar Rose Inn

Briar Rose was the last of five B&Bs we stayed at on our recent Pacific Coast vacation. Ted and Sallie were great hosts, friendly, warm and fun. The home is gorgeous, our room was large and beautifully decorated, very comfortable with a large bath. Everything about this home is beautifully done, inside and out. Ted's breakfast was superb, and we had a wonderful visit with him and the other table guests the one morning we were there. We wish we had been able to stay longer to enjoy more of the inn and Vancouver. Perhaps we'll return one day and would definitely stay here again. We would highly recommend this inn over any other.

I enjoyed my stay at Briar Rose Inn. It is a gorgeous old classic home & I was astounded at the beautiful and detailed work the owners have personally done to make this property so beautiful. The inkeeper/owners were wonderful, helpful and very accommodating. I was amazed at their kind, above-and-beyond attitude & I greatly appreciated it. Parking was super easy. Downtown Vancouver is very pleasant as well as easy to get to--it's mere minutes from PDX airport. On weekends there is a nice farmer's market and great summer events in Esther Short Park just a few blocks away. I so wish I had remained at Briar Rose Inn for my 10 day stay instead of transferring to a different so-called "highly rated" inn in Portland (PWH), where the customer is apparently always wrong & where I felt disrespected & abused. It was quite an opposite experience from the warmth & kindness I enjoyed at Briar Rose Inn. I would definitely recommend Briar Rose Inn. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We've stayed at Briar Rose two years in a row. The owner's have done a fantastic job of restoring this beautiful home. The accommodations are very comfortable, they serve a lovely full breakfast, and the location is quiet and convenient. If you're there on a Saturday, you can walk to the farmers market at Esther Short Park (about two blocks) It's also a short walk to downtown shops and the very hospitable Java House in a little complex with an art exhibit.

Forget the big box chains and stay local when in the Portland Metro area. Briar Rose Inn is a meticulously maintained B&B 15 minutes from downtown Portland in Vancouver Washington. Sallie and Ted are gracious and welcoming. I've stayed 3 times now and will come back again for Ted's wonderful biscuits!
