I found the Terwiliger on the internet and contacted the owners directly. We were travelling from Winnipeg to Portland to see a Bob Seger concert. This was our first bed and breakfast that we ever stayed in. The owners were pleasant and friendly. The B&B was easy to find, right off the interstate. The owner suggested places to dine before... more

This B+B was exactly what we were looking for. My wife and I got married earlier that day, and we needed a place to stay that was relatively close to home, but would still shave a few hours off our destination drive the next morning of our honeymoon. We'd never stayed in a B+B before, so we didn't really know... more

It was actually a year since we stayed there so perhaps they've made some changes since. I think you're paying mostly for location at this B&B... the area is beautiful. It was the first B&B we ever stayed at and had nothing to compare against, but since then we've stayed at many and have found much better values. We think... more

Thank you for your inputs. I basically like the furniture in the room, but the rod iron does have a bit of a 70’s feel. I think the rod iron works with the knotty pine walls very well. I will take a pass thru the room and update the accessories. That is a fair comment. I've learned, in the cooler...

My fiancee and I booked four days at the Brittania at Terwilliger Vista to plan our wedding in Portland (where neither of us is from, but that's another story). Carl was not only a great host, making us feel right at home, but he was incredibly helpful with directions, suggestions of places to go, and even restaurant reviews! Breakfasts were... more

We stayed here over the Thanksgiving weekend but soon after arriving we regretted our decision. The carpet in the hall clearly showed its age and the dirt had accumulated in it over the years. Our room proved to have the same problems- old and dirty. Our bedspread had a large stain in it. The towels were old and tattered. The... more

The beige carpet in the hall is regularly cleaned, and was scheduled to be steamed cleaned between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday rush. All our bedding is checked upon departure, and the stain was found and removed. I will say, in this room, the windowsill is behind the taller headboard, and had been missed. This has been added to the...

We originally booked a hotel stay in downtown Portland, however due to street construction directly adjacent to the hotel, we decided to look for a more peaceful spot to spend another couple days. My husband found this B&B online and called to confirm that they had space - they did, so he booked three nights there. We arrived at this... more

We’re very sorry that this guest was as unhappy with us as the hotel she had just left. We do our best to make everyone’s stay a wonderful stay. In this case, we seemed to have gotten it all wrong.

My husband and I just returned from our last minute stay in Portland. A death in the family prompted last minute travel arrangements to attend the funeral. Carl at Terwilliger Vista made it quite simple for us and we had the perfect place to unwind after our early morning drive down from Seattle, the funeral and the gathering afterward. The... more

My wife and I just spent 3 of the most wonderful nights at the Terwilliger Vista. It was coveniently close to downtown without having to be in the middle of it. Overlooking the Willamette River atop one of the most beautiful neighborhoods of Portland, it was one the best lodging experiences we have had in 25 years of traveling together.... more

With new ownership, this was the perfect weekend getaway! The hostess is a charming,intelligent and classy woman from England who treats you like royalty but gives you all the privacy you desire. Her breakfasts were amazing, the room spacious, clean and authentic. Engage her in conversation and you'll be mesmerized! Delightful perks that you would not expect! Check in and... more

My fiance chose the Terwilliger Vista Bed and Breakfast to celebrate our engagement. We had a lovely stay. The home has just the right balance of old-style elegance and modern luxurious comforts. Our room was the Burgundy Suite. I believe the home is under new owners who also run a B&B in England. They fixed a delicious breakfast of eggs... more
