Editorial Review for Heron Haus Bed & Breakfast – by Gayot.com
The Scene
This not-so-secret hideaway sits just a few blocks above 23rd Avenue's stylish boutiques and bars. The 10,000-square-foot, ivy-covered mansion was built in 1904 and retains its Victorian charm, although with some contemporary updates. The grounds offer a swimming pool and hidden orchard, and on clear days, views of Mts. Hood and St. Helens.
The Details
Oak floors and contemporary furnishings offer casual elegance. All six bedrooms have private baths, fireplaces and data ports. One even has a spa and sleeping porch. The doting staff serves freshly baked breakfast goodies in the dining room, and this grand old home has plenty of nooks and crannies for taking a nap or reading a good book. Those with an urge to roam can take a stroll through the pleasant neighborhood, trot down the hill to where the action is or catch the streetcar downtown.

I can't say enough what a fabulous experience Heron Haus was. The enormous bathroom (complete with spa, fireplace and cozy bath robes) and super-comfortable bed almost kept us in our room the entire weekend! Wireless internet access and a basket of goodies were also included. When we did venture out, we discovered Heron Haus' lovely gardens and hilltop views. This house is obviously well-loved by the Innkeeper, who was friendly and personable without being pushy or demanding too much of our attention. The common areas were warm and comfortable, without being overdone or pretentious. Breakfast was also excellent, complete with sticky buns and fresh fruit. Just down the street, we were spoiled for choice with so many restaurants and shops. There's even a trolly that runs right to the city center.
Pros: beautiful, friendly, great location

This was our first time in a Bed & Breakfast and I'm glad we chose the Heron Haus! The innkeeper, Julie, was so nice and gracious. We stayed in the Kulia suite for a week and never wanted to get out of the hot tub. When we did fenture out, 23rd Ave., where all the shops and restaurants are was only 3 blocks away! We even took Juno, the innkeepers son's Great Pyrenees out for several walks! We LOVE this place and will definitely be back! Thanks Julie!!!
Pros: Soft beds!, Great service, Location!!!
Cons: Nothing at all!!!
