"We had a great time. Amy and Shawn were wonderful hosts. Gave us great recommendations on places to see on our visit. Will definitely be back."

"An amazing place to unwind, destress and enjoy the beautiful landscape around the B&B. Amy and Shawn are the perfects hosts, they are wonderful people. The B&B is beautiful with great rooms and the breakfast was delicious. Thank you Amy and Shawn, I will definitely come back!"

"What a special Bed & Breakfast experience! My partner and I visited Gaard House for a one-night stay and were really not expecting to find such a unique gem in the middle of wine country. When we drove up Shawn was already out doing some yard work and came to meet us at the front door. We proceeded with a short and sweet tour of the home, which is way larger than any photos lead you to believe. The basement is large with a theater room, hangout areas, and a few instruments laying around. The main level is just as large with a focus on the vineyard view out the kitchen/dining rooms. Back towards the front door the spiral staircase leads you to the 4 private rooms. We stayed in the Robin’s Nest, which had a shared bathroom door that also led out to the hallway. All the finishes are new and everything was extremely clean. If you feel strongly about sharing bathrooms this could be an issue for you, but we had no problem with our setup. The rest of our stay was just wonderful - we visited Black Dog Vineyard and MonksGate Vi yard (but just ask around and you will have plenty of recommendations) and finished the evening with some casual conversation with other guests at Gaard House. In the morning, Amy and Shawn will have a from-scratch breakfast (served at 9am) with fresh juices and coffee. We will certainly come back and stay here whenever we’re in town, our lovely hosts made us feel right at home. We can’t recommend this authentic B&B enough!"

"What a relaxing, beautiful retreat. Amy and Shawn are consummate hosts. We loved our room, felt welcomed and cared for on our visit. Breakfast was wonderful, especially with such fun conversations! They work to share food from local vendors and creatively share delicious dishes. It was fun to hear about the products they were sharing, and we couldn’t get enough of the delicious meal. Every suggestion for things to do in the area was spot on. Will definitely visit again."

"In two words, Exquisite and Delightful!! -- So grateful to have been introduced to this B&B by a former professional colleague. We were one of the first guests to stay at The Gaard House, and we were captivated and charmed by this gorgeous property and landscape! Shawn and Amy have beautifully appointed their home -- all rooms and amenities were airy and modern, down to the little touches of luxurious towels, soaps and lotions in the bath. Shawn's healthy, farm-to-table breakfasts were spectacular, and evenings on the patio sipping wine or relaxing with a beer left us feeling as if we didn't have a care in the World. There is much on offer in their lower level (e.g. movie theater, pool table), and I was able to take my daily yoga sessions there as well; during a very hot period of the summer, it was an ideal spot for meditation and reflection. Most of all, Shawn and Amy's hospitality -- including lots of good tips for first-timers to OR -- turned a place for rest and slumber into one of the most memorable parts of our first trip to this beautiful state!"
