Come and experience the peacefulness of the pristine McKenzie River
Valley. Enjoy our panoramic river view during breakfast in our dining
room, or outdoors on our lawn which sweeps fifty feet to the waters
edge. Watch the wildlife on our secluded three acre parcel, with easy
river access. This rustic homestead built in 1929; was established as a
bed & breakfast in 1979, making it one of the oldest B&B's on the river.
The pioneers started with a small cabin and expanded to the lodge as it
is now. Found in the shop were wooden crates with the family name and
town it was destined for. The orchard, full of fruit and nut trees,
sustained the families daily needs as it does for out guests today.
Take a stroll on our river trail which brings you to hammocks or benches
and bring a book. Lay out on the lawn next to the river and sunbathe a
moment to enjoy the sunset over the bluff on the river right in front of
your cabin or the
inn. We have three acres to view wildlife and a nesting
pair of Osprey that entertain us. Bring the family and have a BBQ while
they play ball in the orchard. Rent the whole
Inn for family reunions or
company retreats, there's plenty of space.

Bert not only cooks a great gourmet breakfast, but also brings the
Inn his European hospitality and his knowledge of birds and other wildlife.
Hubertina contributes to the gardening and creates the home like
atmosphere at the
Inn that the guests have appreciated. The de Klerk's
combine an American bed & breakfast stay with a European touch to
provide a unique experience in the scenic McKenzie River Valley.
The original pioneers remember when the gravel bar out on the river
hosted picnics for members of the farming community. We still consider
it one of the best fishing areas around. On any given day you can see
the guests wading in to cast out a lengthy 1200 foot bar provides habitat
for rainbow, cutthroat trout and the occasional steel head.
