Veterans Day in the Willamette Valley

November 12th, 2010 by

Symbol of Freedom

We were honored to offer a complimentary  stay at the Lobenhaus Bed & Breakfast for two retired veterans and their wives.  The inn was decorated in small touches of red, white & blue… Uncle Sam smiled from his bench.  The breakfast table also showed its colors…star & stripes  napkins rings, flags under the plates, small glass colored stars, etc.  The Menu – Patriotic Pancakes, Liberty Eggs, Old Glory  Bacon, Freedom Fruit & Justice Juice.  Our guests spent the holiday at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum just a few minutes down the road.  Special Veterans Day events honored those in service past & current.                                One small thank you for the sacrifices of so many fine patriots & their families.

Flamingo Invasion in OR Wine Country

August 12th, 2010 by

Birds of a feather.....

Nummy bugs

The Lobenhaus Bed & Breakfast gardens have been ”flocked” !!  Magically, dozens of pink flamingos appeared among the flowers, by the waterfall…. all over the lawn.  What a novel idea.  Students from a local group is raising money to fund their trip next spring.  For a small or (generous) donation they are  happy to move the birds on to your friend’s yard to be “flocked”.  Our B & B guests got a big kick out of the lawn decor!  Several folks borrowed the idea to use in their own fund-raising projects.

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.
