It's that time of year again. Time to start planning that Oregon Road Trip. Oregon has more designated scenic byways and tour routes than any other state. The Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild is the only State B&B Association and a welcoming inn awaits you as you travel the backroads. I am presenting a series of blogs to assist you in creating create amazing getaways and tours in Oregon. Thanks Travel Oregon for sharing this information
'Wind, Waves and a Long, Winding Road. Yes, it's possible to drive the entire Pacific Coast Scenic Byway in a single day. But it's also pointless. Because you wouldn't have time to experience any of the breathtaking viewpoints, stunning state parks and quaint coastal towns.
'This Byway offers many natural wonders. Visit between November and June to watch the storms come in or to scan the horizon to catch a glimpse of migrating gray whales. Several rock formations are home to large colonies of seals and sea lions, and shorebirds abound in the countless estuaries. And then there's the wind-sculpted dunes, marshes, lush agricultural valleys and majestic rainforests.'
Yes, it's possible to drive the entire Pacific Coast Scenic Byway in a single day. But why would you when you have 21 member inns of the Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild from Astoria to Port Orford? Take a few days and enjoy the ride.
Get to know our State like a local. Experience romantic getaways, historic treasures, and tucked away rustic retreats. Whether your trip is for a quiet escape to a quaint rural or coastal town, for a World Class City experience or for a new spin on business travel, you can be assured of combining gracious hospitality with ambiance by staying at an inspected and approved Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild member Inn.
Hey sports fans--do you like an Oregon bed and breakfast of the traditional type with doilies on the nightstands? Or are you the type of traveler to prefer your bed and breakfast lodging be doily-free? Well, here's your chance to let us Oregon innkeepers know.
The Professional Association of Innkeepers International (affectionately known as PAII and pronounce as "pie") is holding a vote: DOILY DECISION 2012. We need to hear from you, the guests who stay in our Oregon bed and breakfasts. Tell us your preference! Register your vote! (Oh, and by the way, when you vote, you might wind up winning an opportunity to stay at a likeminded inn.)
Are you the type that jumps for joy when you see your lodging without lace? Are you outraged at the thought of a bed and breakfast without the traditional touch? Check out this video and see which way your blood boils:
From the McMinnville Oregon bed and breakfast to the Astoria Oregon bed and breakfast to the far reaches of Eastern Oregon and Crater Lake, you'll find quality inns of the Oregon Bed & Breakfast Guild. Let you hosts know how you voted in Doily Decision!
From the steps of the 10th Avenue Inn Bed and Breakfast you can enjoy Seaside's famous Promenade for an early morning walk or a breathtaking sunset. A short walk to shopping and restaurants. Fill your day with short trips to view the mighty Columbia River from the Astoria Column, visit history at Lewis and Clark's Fort Clatsop, historic Fort Stevens and the shipwreck of the Peter Iredale. Picnic and feed the seagulls while viewing Haystack Rock at Ecola State Park, or go for 18 holes at one of our area's many beautiful ocean-view golf courses.
All three exquisite guest rooms have king beds, attached baths, TV/VCRs and small refrigerators and are bright and airy. Choose the Sunrise Room for and watch the sunrise over the coastal range in the morning and a Pacific Sunset in the evening from the two window seats. Great place to storm watch, too.
10th Ave Inn Bed and Breakfast is a member of the Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild.

Whether you are just passing through, planning to stay or just haven't made up your mind yet, consider visiting one or more of Oregon's quaint villages, small towns or even the big city! Boasting historical districts consisting of vintage homes, downtown buildings and bed and breakfasts from Jacksonville to Albany and from McMinnville to Astoria, finding that perfect place to dine, explore and stay overnight isn't hard!This time of year is when you find native Oregonians holding on to the edge of their seats. I've seen and heard them for myself in all their anticipation as they ponder the snow conditions up on Mt. Hood, is there still good hiking found in the hills near Corvallis or is too wet, should we get our skiis out yet and head on over to Mt. Bachelor or Hoodoo or, should we just sit in a little coffee shop in the Pearl and think of trying a new restaurant to have dinner in tonight?
Oh...just so much to chose from! So, where does one start? Native or visitor to Oregon? Well, I say one must always start with the food! I could end this blog right here and just tell you to start in Jacosonville and get on the epicurean bus and eat your way through Oregon! However, I will suggest that you just take your sweet time and begin at the Jacksonville Inn Bistro and have the Butternut Squash Soup made of course with locally grown ingredients and topped so heavenly with creme' fraiche. Then, work your way up to Albany and dine at Sybaris where Matt Bennet has cornered the farmer's market on all that is local and so fresh that his menu changes monthly allowing him to prepare and serve only what is in season in the Willamette Valley. Taking that epicurean trail, you could continue on up in to McMinnville and have a burger and tots on the roof top at The Oregon Hotel and discover why the McMenaman brothers are so famous. After that pitstop, go on and check out brew pub after brew pub and learn why our beer here in Oregon is so popular all over the country. Wherever you choose to dine, taste or sip, you will learn why Oregonians just love it here. Small town or the big city...doesn't matter...the foods always good in Oregon!
Finding that perfect inn on the trail is part of the fun too! Some of Oregon's most famous foodies are found right in the kitchens of these Oregon Bed and Breakfasts! There is nothing like coming in from skiing, snowshoeing, or even wine tasting and seeing the roaring fire in the fireplace and a dish of warm cookies and that special bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir waiting for you. Choosing Oregon Wine Country or a Mt. Hood Bed and Breakfast as a place to warm up this winter sounds like a good place to stop the bus and get off!
Don't miss your bus and hope to see you on the trail as you visit Oregon this winter. Stay warm and well fed!
For Oregon Coast Lodging choose a member inn of the Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild. Leave the stress behind and plan a romantic weekend getaway while enjoying fine Oregon Coast wines, the amazing Oregon Coast and Nehalem Bay Winery's 15th Annual Bluegrass Festival 'n' BBQ.Astoria bluegrass masters Brownsmead Flats will be headlining the show.

From nearly every viewpoint on the Oregon coast, colossal rocks can be seen jutting out of the Pacific Ocean creating postcard images.
Each of these rocks is protected as part of Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge includes 1,853 small islands, rocks, and reefs plus two headlands, totaling 371 acres spanning 320 miles of Oregon's coastline from the Oregon–California border to Tillamook Head.
This is a place where eight of America's most beautiful wild and scenic rivers tumble down through towering forests of Douglas fir, Port Orford cedar,myrtlewood and redwoods creating tidal estuaries, long sandy beaches and coastal islands. The Siulsaw National Forest has 4 major rivers flowing through onto the Pacific Ocean. It also provides many Oregon coast B&B lodging options. More about that in a minute.
All of the island acreage is designated National Wilderness, with the exception of 1-acre Tillamook Rock and Lighthouse, so public access is restricted but there are spectacular viewing opportunities at numerous locations along the coast.
The Oregon Coast Birding Trail website includes a birding checklist that shows 250 birds most likely to be seen along the scenic seascapes of the Central and South Oregon Coast. It also includes trail guides with maps and site descriptions for over 50 sites. 
Central Oregon coast lodging options are plenty from Lincoln City, to Depoe Bay, to Newport and then to Florence. South Coast lodging options include the unique inns of Coos Bay and Port Orford.
You'll find that you can bird-watch on the Oregon Coast for days and hop from one Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild member inn to another from Astoria to Port Orford.
Sea watches on the Pacific Coast are best conducted in the morning with the sun at your back.
region's famous wines. Seafood lovers can savor shrimp, salmon, oysters, halibut, and clam chowder. The Northwest's awesome microbrews and and wines are also featured. In addition to the freshest of seafood, you'll be able to enjoy live music and crafts booths. The highlight of the three-day festival is a traditional dinner featuring local, fresh-caught Oregon Dungeness crab; the dinner is put on by the Rotary Club of Astoria.The Oregon Coast is the place to be for Oregon Geotourism and unique Oregon Coast Lodging and the Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild has accommodations waiting for you.
Rose River Inn Bed and Breakfast - This 1912 Craftman style home which is filled with country style antiques and is located in a National Historical District and is on the local historical register
Clementine's Bed and Breakfast - Five rooms, each with private baths are located in this beautiful 2-story classic 1888 Victorian house and children and pets are welcome.
Benjamin Young Bed and Breakfast - Enjoy gracious hospitality in this elegant but comfortable1888 Queen Anne Victorian Bed and Breakfast.
Crab, seafood, wine and Astoria Bed and Breakfast Accommodations. The perfect combination for the perfect Culinary Travel experience.
So here's the new video from Tillamook Cheese as they take their Loaf Love Tour. The website's entertaining too, but the videos (one of the loaf tour, one of the making of the Baby Loaf VW buses) are fun too. You'll find them both on the website. Here's one:
Culinary tourism is the new buzz word and our Oregon Bed & Breakfast Guild member inns are embarking on our own message, letting our guests know that when you stay with us, you're going to have a very local food experience. And Oregon-made Tillamook cheese is part of that experience!
"Loaf thy neighbor" and tell that someone special "I loaf you" and while you're at it, check out some of our bed and breakfast lodging in Oregon. We'll loaf you too!
Now, I've nothing against bed and breakfasts for couples. Plenty of couples come our way and thoroughly enjoy their bed & breakfast stay. But how about a room for one? In these days of hectic work schedules, traffic snarls, committment overload--how about a little rest and relaxation for the spouse/partner that needs a break?
Imagine a trip to a Seaside Oregon bed and breakfast or maybe an Astoria Oregon Bed and Breakfast just for yourself. No schedules to keep. Breakfast when you want it. Stroll along the Oregon Coast with plenty of time for you and yourself. Dinner at an area restaurant, or maybe a little cheese & crackers with that split bottle of wine in the living room of your Oregon Coast lodging.
And winter is a good time to take advantage of off-season rates at many Oregon Bed and Breakfasts. You can use the Oregon Bed & Breakfast Guild's association availability calendar on the Guild's website to get an idea of what bed and breakfasts have room available. Continuing through the website will give you an idea of rates too.
With the holidays rapidly approaching, maybe you need a break. Maybe you need an excuse for uninterrupted holiday shopping. A solo trip to an Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild member might be just the break you need.
Jerry Olsen, writing for The Daily Astorian on Oct 15, 2009, has got this whole "what to do on the Oregon Coast" thing well in hand. Check out his article, "Enjoying the Coast from A to Z" to find out all sorts of things to see and do in Clatsop and Pacific Counties--the northernmost coastal Oregon counties.In his cruise through the alphabet, the letter "I" stands for "Inns" and he means Oregon coast lodging in the form of a bed and breakfast. "Bed & Breakfasts abound. Treat yourself to a special getaway with everything from massages to romantic getaways in historic homes," he writes.
And how true it is! There are twenty bed and breakfast in Oregon coastal locations that are members of the Oregon Bed & Breakfast Guild--all the way from Coos Bay Manor in the south to the Benjamin Young Bed & Breakfast in Astoria and plenty in between!
So what are you waiting for? Pack that clamming gear and head for some Oregon coast lodging. Your innkeepers will be in-the-know about the best places to dig for clams, enjoy the view, or find that unforgettable dinner. And they'll arrange a massage for you too if you ask.
To find out more, click on the button at right of people on the Oregon Coast. Follow the link to Oregon Coast lodging and you'll have a preview of all twenty inspected and approved Oregon Bed & Breakast Guild member inns. You'll be happy you did!
But there's more! Teams competing for top prizes will walk away with $1,000 in prize money for the best chili and barbecue. Food will be available to the public on Saturday, May 2nd, from 11 am to 3 pm, so plan your lunchtime accordingly. The event takes place right at Pier 39.
For the inside scoop on this event, take a peek at the Pacific NW BBQ Association forum. By all looks, there's be chicken, ribs, tri-tip and salmon in addition to the chili. Yum!
The Oregon Bed & Breakfast Guild has four Astoria Oregon bed and breakfast inn members more than happy to host your weekend getaway. Three are located directly in Astoria: the Benjamin Young Bed & Breakfast, Clementine's B&B, and the Rose River Inn. Nearby in Seaside, you'll find the 10th Avenue Inn.Why stay in Oregon coast hotels in Astoria or Seaside when you can choose the friendly, down-home atmostphere of a bed and breakfast? And you might even run into one of the teams!
My husband and I get away about twice a month. Our get aways "always" include an Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild Inn. We have already planned our next trip if you call jumping in your car and heading for the coast for a fun road trip planning. I was all set in my mind to fly to San Antonio, Texas for a few days of sun and board walking and shopping and eating, etc. However, we love it here in Oregon and have decided to stay local and see more of what we haven't seen yet since we moved here a little over a year ago. I think we could stay here the rest of our lives and not see everything that we want to. We have been to the Oregon Coast from Newport north to Astoria. So, our next trip to the coast, we go South. Growing up in SoCal, we have always loved our coastal towns and beaches and enjoyed the warmth and sand. But, oh my gosh, the Oregon Coast that we have seen so far is absolutely breathtaking and we really want to see more!
Gold Beach, Bandon, Yachats, Florence and Coos Bay are just a few of the cities
along the Southern Oregon Coast that we want to see. In Coos Bay, we are planning to stay a night or two at the Coos Bay Manor. This Oregon Coast Lodging facility is a Colonial-Style house built in 1912 and close walking distance to to restaurants, shops and a historic walking area. Along the Southern Oregon Coast, this Oregon Bed & Breakfast Guild inn also offers a central location to see and do all the things the Oregon coast is known for.Visiting lighthouses, birdwatching the Tufted Puffins, hiking, fishing, and golfing are all on the list of things we want to do on the coast. Yachats, Oregon is near Cape Perpetual which is the highest peak along the Oregon Coast. Florence, Oregon is known for its sand dunes, fishing, and an annual rhododendron festival.
Bandon, Oregon is known for its seaside beauty, rolling pastureland, forests, and it's an easy drive to the California coast as well. Bandon is also known world wide for it's golf courses as well as being the cranberry capital of the world. (Reminds me of the cranberry hazelnut scones I made a few weeks ago. Recipe to follow!)With 350 miles of coastline from Astoria to the California border, the Oregon coast is graced with quaint seaside towns, historic villages and a sweet inn now and then ready to check us in for our coastal get away.
Don't forget: golf clubs, hiking boots, running shoes, camera, fishing gear, binoculars and a really good bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir.

breakfast tomorrow. For me this is the best part about visiting our Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild members. FOOD! I love seeing what other Innkeepers are doing for tantalizing their guest with morning delectable treats. This morning we had a three coarse breakfast, the main coarse being a generous portion of Eggs Benedict with an option of having wild smoked Oregon salmon instead of the usual Canadian bacon. We opted in for the salmon and locally caught, fresh and to die for! When I asked the sauce was made from scratch she replied "yes, and it's easy". I've asked Carolyn for the recipe and she has graciously allowed me to share it with you." (next blog!!). I can't wait to try it on our Guests at Nob Hill Riverview Bed and Breakfast. Tomorrow we are having triple berry pancakes. Oh..do 
I have to go home to guests tomorrow afternoon? Can't I just stay here and play guest a little longer? I must say this is the best part of innkeeping, meeting other Innkeepers, staying and visiting their Inns by using our "Innkeeper Getaway" program. It is amazing what a three day vacation from our own Inns can do for a tired Innkeeper.Our Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild Innkeeper, Carolyn is taking smart advantage of living in this wonderful Coastal town of Astoria. It is a nationally significant historic region at the western end of the Lewis & Clark Trail. Astoria is the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies; a place that truly takes visitors back to simpler times, its architecture
dominated by hundreds of Victorian homes, many of these beautiful historical homes are now Inns and members of Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild themselves. I would say most of the homes here have beautiful views like the Benjamin Young Inn does. The homes in Astoria seem to be clinging to steep wooded hillsides with the revitalized 1920s era downtown in walking distance; all set against a backdrop of tremendous natural beauty in the temperate rain forest at the mouth of the Columbia River. The room we are in has a view of the famous movie inspired "Gooney's House" on the Hillside. Astoria is a city of 10,000 people on the Columbia River, just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean bordered by the Columbia to the north and Young's Bay to the south. Surrounded by water and tall evergreen Douglas Fir, Hemlock and Spruce trees, Astoria, is rich in scenic beauty, with a vista of the Pacific Ocean and its endless miles of sandy beaches viewed from a top of Astoria's historic Column.Discover why Astoria is a delightful Oregon Bed and Breakfast romantic getaway. You'll find Astoria's many cafes, unique shops, and the nationally acclaimed Columbia River Maritime Museum."
Tana Phemester, along with her husband, Matt, own and operate the Nob Hill Riverview Bed and Breakfast is beautiful St. Helens, Oregon, just a scenic 35 minute drive west of Portland. Read more about Nob Hill on this Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild blog. Perhaps a overnight at the Nob Hill before heading out to Astoria and elegant Oregon Coast Lodging at the Benjamin Young Inn.
There are 26 "Whale Watching Spoken Here" sites along the Oregon Coast, manned by trained volunteers during the spring and winter migration. The volunteers are on duty to answer your questions about the migrating animals and assist in spotting. The Whale Watching Center reports seeing good numbers of whales traveling past the Oregon coast and keeps a running tab on the sightings.
People come from far and wide to learn about the whales that migrate past the Oregon Coast each year. And the Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild can provide a unique Oregon Coast Lodging experience from Astoria to Coos Bay.The Oregon Coast is a awesome seascape sculpted by wind and wave, and offers spectacular sites for whale watching. Ask your Oregon B&B innkeeper for their favorite location.
Last week, we decided to take a quick overnight trip to the Oregon Coast. We headed to Astoria and checked out an Astoria Bed and Breakfast called Clementines. After a beautiful and little snowy drive and a yummy dinner at the Fort George Brewery downtown, we headed up to the Astoria Column. My friend Patty said that if you ever go to Astoria, you need to go to the column. So, see the column we did. At night even. We were in awe of it. The architecture, the height, the view, but mostly the swirling snow against the spot lights illuminating the structure. It was one of those moments that you find hard to put in to words. We knew that first thing after breakfast the next morning, we would need to go back to the column to check it out in the day light. Judith at Clementines made us dutch babies for breakfast as we chatted in her cozy dining room and learned more about the area before heading out.
Back to the column, then to the Maritime Museum, picture taking and having a latte at
the Astoria Coffee House of course before heading south. One of the most interesting things I learned while we were in Astoria, is that the Columbia River is the second largest river, by volume in the U.S. It is also said to be one of the most dangerous river bars in the world. Where the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean come together, waves can reach up to 30'. So, we learned that there are about 20 Columbia River Bar Pilots based in Astoria that work day and night to assist ships cross the bar safely. These pilots have to actually memorize this whole area as to safely pilot large ships up to 1000' and even nuclear submarines in and out of the bar area. An important and dangerous job these pilots have.Our adventure along the Oregon coast took us down hwy 101 and we took everything in as we drove through quaint seaside towns, dense coastal forests and cliffs where the ocean in all it's fury danced along the shores as we watched. Then we came across the sweet seaside town of Cannon Beach. Being innkeepers and belonging to the Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild, we take advantage of our flexible schedule to check out as much of Oregon as possible and that includes checking out any town that contains a guild member inn. We have already planned our next Oregon coast lodging get-a-way and it will be at the historic Cannon Beach Hotel. Not only is this hotel an Oregon Bed and
Breakfast Guild member inn, it is one of the oldest lodgings on the coast. This New England style hotel and B & B has been operating since 1914. After one of their light breakfasts, take a walk and enjoy downtown Cannon Beach. This seaside town has been ranked one of the most beautiful spots on earth, is surrounded by miles of sandy beaches and has lots of hiking trails, art galleries, shops and unique restaurants. Being that it is only about an hour and a half from Portland, we plan to visit a Portland, Oregon lodging facility then hitting the coast again soon. We didn't seem to get enough from our over night trip. I think a week would do.Needless to say, we did enjoy the rest of our long day back to Albany stopping every now and then to gaze. Already looking forward to another day or week at the beach!

So how about a quick Oregon coast vacation to Astoria, stay at an Astoria Oregon Bed and Breakfast, and bring along your favorite movies filmed in Astoria--make a game out of figuring out where in Astoria the movie was filmed?
Harold Phillips, a Portland Oregon actor, notes in his blog that 200 people per month visit sites in Astoria Oregon where The Goonies was filmed. For a 25 year old movie, that's impressive!
Our Oregon Bed & Breakfast Guild innkeepers are strong on trivia for their local areas. We'll bet you dimes to doughnuts that your host can share a few tips about the filming locations. Who knows? Maybe their Astoria Oregon bed and breakfast was included in the film?
Try some Oregon Coast lodging in an Astoria Oregon bed and breakfast to find out. We're certain you won't be disappointed.
Shake off the winter doldrums and plan a weekend getaway to the Oregon Coast--it's time for the Newport Seafood & Wine Festival!Here's a chance to meet, greet and sample nearly 80 Oregon wineries and taste excellent Oregon coast seafood all in one location! Arts & craft vendors add to the local color.
A complete list of wineries, breweries and exhibitors is here. Some of the wineries include: Pheasant Valley Vineyard, Hip Chicks Do Wine, Oak Knoll Winery, Hood River Vineyards, Willamette Valley Vineyards, Eola Hills Wine Cellars, Cooper Mountain Vineyards, Wine by Joe and the Oregon coast’s own Nehalem Bay Winery.
This is a ticketed event and open to adults aged 21 and over. You can purchase tickets in advance through the Newport Chamber of Commerce website or by calling (800) 262-7844.
The festival organizers warn the public to make their lodging arrangements in advance. The Oregon Bed & Breakfast Guild offers wonderful Oregon coast lodging with its coastal members from Astoria to Coos Bay. For those in the Newport area specifically, take a look at:- The Grand Victorian B&B on Nye Beach
- Tyee Lodge Oceanfront B&B AAA 3-diamond rated
- Ocean House adult oriented lodging in Newport
- Newport Belle B&B a sternwheeler in the harbor!
- Ona Beach B&B and Bunkhouse just south of Newport
We recently asked our innkeepers to submit their favorite recipes and were pleased to see that once again, we are all about keeping it local and fresh. The recipe that follows is made with pears. Did you know that 84% of the nation's pears are grown in Oregon and Washington? The volcanic soil provides pear tree nourishment, the rain and snowmelt provides moisture and of course our ideal temperat
ure is a huge factor. Carolyn Hammer has owned the Benjamin Young Inn in Astoria for almost 15 years. Her recipe using Bosc pears is easy, tasty, and the presentation is gorgeous. She calls it, "Microwave Poached Bosc Pears with Raspberry Sauce"
- peel one ripe pear per person but leave the stem on
- cut a small slice from the bottom of pears to flatten so they stand upright
- put pears in a microwave safe dish and pour one tablespoon of maple syrup over each one
- cover and microwave about one and half minutes per pear until hot
- place pears on individual small plates and pour about one t
ablespoon raspberry syrup over each pear - garnish with raspberries
If you are planning a trip to the Oregon coast soon, stay with Carolyn at the Benjamin Young Inn in Astoria. I am sure after 15 years of innkeeping, she has more wonderful breakfast recipes to share with her guests.
