Driving past Timberline, on through Government Camp and then to our quick stop over to visit Brightwood Guest House B & B! A unique bed and breakfast and often heard of, I was dying to see their outdoor soaking tubs in person. Ahhh...if only I was a guest here! Someday soon hopefully...I will be.Two acres of serene beauty, you can see the forest from these outdoor tubs. Yeah those trees are nice, the flowers are pretty, the plants and vegetable gardens are sweet but I couldn't take my eyes off these tubs. The finest craftsmanship, these tubs were specially made for this unique bed and breakfast set in Brightwood, Oregon. Perfect for two wanting to enjoy a hot soak, a bottle of wine surrounded by trees listening to the large stream without a care in the world. How romantic, how relaxing and what a great way to surprise someone you love.
The cabin on this property is close by and exudes home with that clean mountain
feeling all the way upstairs to the sleeping loft where the feather bed is comfortably waiting for you. At this romantic bed and breakfast, expect your hearty hot breakfast served to you in your cabin. Coffee, tea, juice, the newspaper...or not and a hot breakfast. Sounds quite heavenly!The nearby activities such as skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, backpacking, climbing, fishing, golfing and nearby great restaurants makes this get away quite the perfect spot. Play if you want, soak all day in the outdoor tubs or just cuddle up in that feather bed with your honey. No matter how you go...just go and enjoy Brightwood Guest House B & B!

This is a fun recipe because it is so easy and you can change it up by adding fresh crimini mushrooms, small slices of fresh garden zucchini, fresh basil or thyme and change the type of cheese now and then with the same results. Your guests will be amazed at this sweet little cheese dish.
