Sandy Salmon Bed and Breakfast

Bed: 5 stars
Breakfast: 3 stars
This is one of a very well done B&B. The place is beautiful with a great taste of craftsmanship and taxidermy (only if you are not an animal right advocate). Our bedroom faced the river which was very pleasant to enjoy. The only reason I did not give it 5 starts is the strange breakfast arrangement. There were 4 couples staying including us and we all had to go down for breakfast at 8’30 and eat together in a dining room. There were lovely tables outside that look down to the river but breakfast wasn’t served there as we thought it would be. The food was good. Scramble egg and bacon. 8 people with 6 slices of bacon. Banana pudding was delicious though we had to pray before we could eat. Even though I was born Catholic, I did not find that comfortable. Then we all had to introduce ourselves who we are and what we do which is fine but I was not ready to give a speech at 8’30 when I was half asleep and half awake with no makeup on and a bedhead. I felt like we were visiting someone rather than paying $ 200+ for a night. Wifi was free but it was too weak to use either upstairs or downstairs and cellphone service could not get there (At&t). It was a nice but also a little uncomfortable experience.

Stayed here while vacationing in Oregon. Beautiful state and this property is on an ideal site, the confluence of a couple of awesome fishing rivers. They drawbacks of this place were 1) we asked the hosts to prepare a vegetarian breakfast for us, they seemed perturbed. It felt like we were bothering them 2) the décor was shocking, full of taxidermy. 3) at dark the hosts locked the exit gate so we couldn’t leave if we wanted to or if we had to due to a fire. This was a real safety concern for us. We were happy to leave (without breakfast) the next morning. For the price we felt like the hosts should have tried to accommodate us a bit more. Won’t stay here again, but so glad that we saw this fine property and the nature that surrounds it.

This was a great place! The owners were excellent hosts and the breakfast was perfect. The ambiance was fabulous. The lodge was built with great craftsmanship and has the owners touches all throughout. I highly recommend this place to any one who wants to get-​away for some rest and relaxation.
