Fodor's Review:

Built in 1982 by English immigrant Joseph Mattey, a local butcher, this Queen Anne Victorian mansion—on the National Register of Historic Places—has several cheerful areas that define it. Downstairs is a cozy living room jammed with antiques, dual dining areas—a parlor with white wicker and a dining room with elegant furniture—and a porch with a swing. The four upstairs rooms are whimsically named after locally grown grape varieties—riesling, chardonnay, pinot noir, and Blanc de Blanc—and are decorated in keeping with the character of those wines: the chardonnay room, for instance, has tall windows and crisp white furnishings, and the pinot noir has dark-wood pieces and reddish wine accents. A small balcony off the upstairs landing is perfect for sipping a glass of wine on a cool Yamhill Valley evening. Proprietors Jack and Denise will ensure you're comfortably ensconced, familiar with the local history, surrounding vineyards, and the antiquing scene, and holding that glass of wine: in case you don't remember where you are, the house, on 10 acres, is bound by an orchard and its own vineyard, which the couple maintains. If your imprudent enough to duck out before the fine full breakfast, which might include poached pears with raspberry sauce, frittatas, and Dutch-apple pancakes, Denise or Jack will have pastry and hot coffee available before you set off. A rule barring children under 10 is waived if you're renting the entire house.
