Mattey House Bed & Breakfast

Mattey House Bed & Breakfast 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 Blancs—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. A fine full breakfast might include poached pears with raspberry sauce, frittatas, and Dutch-apple pancakes. Or your hosts will have pastry and hot coffee available before you set off.
