Brookside Inn

My husband and I stayed here over Thanksgiving, and loved our entire visit. We’d driven in from Seattle and we’re amazed by how picturesque and quiet the whole property was, from the stocked fishing pond to organic garden and wooded hill just behind the inn. It took me a full day to adapt to the stillness of the beautiful countyside.
Being just across from the Trapist Abbey and minutes from dozens of wineries was great, and we benefited from the hosts’ local knowledge and recommendations. Our room was great, and the food was delicious.
This was the perfect destination for our family reunion, and I imagine would also be a good fit for corporate or non profit retreats.

We had a first class stay at the Brookside Inn. From our pristine and peaceful room to the lake side gardens and amazing home made breakfast – we recommend this place unreservedly!
Erika & Jerry are gracious and hospitable and everything about the place is an opportunity to rest or celebrate!

What an amazing experience we had at the Brookside Inn! We arrived on Saturday for our one night stay around 6:00 pm. Jerry and Erica greeted us like casual friends. The property is beautiful, with its pond and the landscape. It was so peaceful that we promptly fell asleep in the very nice room! (BTW — the shower is fantastic!) Even though we woke up after Happy Hour, Jerry brought us a plate of meats & cheeses. The evening was so serene as we walked the property after dark. Breakfast was delicious & again, we woke up late, but they saved us breakfast & so we sat & enjoyed it while having a great conversation with Jerry & Erica. We had such an amazing time we decided that after wine tasting we were going to stay another night! For only owning & operating the Inn for the past 8 months, it’s really amazing to see how much of themselves they have already put into the naturally beautiful getaway. You can’t help but leave feeling more peaceful, relaxed & centered. Great place to lose yourself in contemplation, exploration, relaxation or whatever you need! You are blissfully unplugged (for the most part) and you lose sense of time. I can’t wait to go back. Thank you Erica & Jerry for a perfect weekend away.

We had the most restful and wonderful visit at the Brookside Inn. Susan, our hostess, was the sole reason for this! She is a gracious host, a fabulous cook, knowledgeable about the area and a wonderful conversationalist! All the best to you Susan… xoxoxo

My boyfriend and I ran a half-​marathon in Dundee, Oregon in July and stayed at the Brookside Inn B&B off Abbey Road. This was my first time at a B&B and the experience was simply fabulous! Susan, the owner and innkeeper was a wonderful hostess and prepared breakfast every morning of our stay. Not to mention the best coffee I have ever had and I have traveled the world and had lots of coffee in my lifetime! Anyway, I highly recommend Brookside if you are ever in Dundee, Carlton, or Portland. It’s a great location for wine tasting and it doesn’t get any greener and secluded than this! 5 stars from Bustinwheels!

Beautiful place, great food, charming host, and even some prime fishing right out front! It’s also in a perfect location for exploring the wine country, and right down the road from the Trappist Abbey, a bastion of peace and hiking.

Our group of six stayed at the Brookside Inn for a few days in October, and we were thrilled with the whole experience. The facilities and property are beautiful, the location is an easy drive to several wineries, and Susan’s breakfasts were outstanding. Susan was very helpful in helping plan our trips to the wineries and to the surrounding towns for dinners. The inn was recommended to us by friends, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I echo everyone’s comments here. Bruce and Susan could not be kinder; their food recommendations, their food recommendations, and their directions are all spot on. The rooms are extremely well cleaned, and the beds are soft yet firm, topped off by some 600 thread sheet linens. They are very laid back about breakfast time, saying «It’s your vacation, not ours.» The particular morning we awoke to chanterelle mushroom gravy and a poached egg over waffles. Oh wow. A perfect breakfast so prepare you for a long day of wine tasting.
I would have to say of the 6 – 8 places we called, they were probably the most affordable for the location, but there is not an ounce of quality or service that demands a lower night’s stay.
Be sure and tell Mondo and Rizzo, the two dogs on site, we say hello.

We could not have enjoyed our stay more at the Brookside Inn! Bruce and Susan were outstanding hosts. They are both familiar with the area and extremely helpful in outlining activities. Delicious breakfasts including home made blueberry and peach scones were the perfect start to a day of vineyard hopping and tastings. The grounds are centrally located in the Valley for easy access to sensational dining experiences and local activities. The rooms were impeccably clean and well appointed. I have stayed in many B&Bs and Brookside ranks at the top. I sincerely look forward to my next visit.

We stayed at this B&B during a recent trip to visit Willamette Valley area wineries. Bruce and Susan couldn’t have been any more accommodating and Bruce cooks an amazing breakfast. The rooms were great and the property is serene and relaxing. More importantly, Bruce and Susan not only know the local area but know the local people. They gave great recommendations on places to eat as well as recommending a driver for one of the days we were there. They don’t accept kickbacks by the way, so referrals are genuine.
