Lobenhaus Spring Flowers
Spring has sprung… the grounds are in full boom… sun is shining in Carlton, Oregon. Guests this weekend from MD & FL were so thrilled to be in OR… amazed it did not rain once while they were here for a conference in Portland…. they took a day to travel the Columbia Gorge, with stops to visit the falls… and all the way to Mt. Hood. The next day they motored to the coast ( a bit busy there due to spring break), then drove to wine country for a grand finale to their trip. This morning a very early healthy breakfast sent them on their journey to the airport for long flight home. Only the BEST guests stay at B & Bs !!!

Pinot Noir country
Wine Country Shippers offers a free courier service to our B & B guests. They provide totes to fill with your wine purchases from one or several wineries. When you return to our inn, we will call to schedule a pick-up. Only the standard shipping costs will apply. A great option since liquids cannot be carried on flights. Also many wineries will only ship wine purchased at their own winery. We are very pleased to offer this complimentary service.
