  A to the B&B!

  The R.R. Thompson House was a beautiful older home decorated in the period. We stayed in the Lavender Suite which was very comfortable, clean, and well appointed. We traveled with friends who stayed in the Rose Suite and were very pleased, as well as there being a sitting room between the two suites that allowed us to meet with a friend that lives in the area and we hadn't seen for quite awhile. Rosalyn and Mike were the perfect hosts, informing us about the house and area yet not being intrusive. Mike was the chef serving us breakfast both mornings while Rosalyn took care of any needs that we had. The Thompson house was the perfect place to stay while wine tasting and a short walk to various bars/restaurants. We would definitely recommend the R.R. Thompson House for a great stay in the Willamette Valley area.

  A beautiful and gracious home!

  We enjoyed our stay so very much! We stayed in the Rose Room and our friends stayed in the Lavender Room, which worked out great because of the drawing room in between. Our room was SO large, well appointed and the bathroom was beautiful. The hosts were gracious and welcoming, breakfast was enjoyed and proximity to restaurants nearby was a plus. We would definitely stay again.

  Excellent B&B, highly recommended!

  This is a charming B&B in a very quiet neighborhood, but walking distance to Carlton's main street. The rooms were HUGE and beautifully appointed. Very comfortable beds, a very "homey" feel to the whole place. Breakfasts were delicious, the proprietors were warm and friendly but not intrusive or chatty. I would HIGHLY recommend this B&B! We will definitely stay there again.

  Outstanding

  We had a lovely time. The room was very clean and comfortable. The Air B&B is located in a way that made it easy to walk to diners. Roselyn and Mike were very good hosts. I will return. I highly recommend RR Thompson.

  Kind owners, lacking B&B experience

  The good: The location is great, a quiet road and walking distance to restaurants in town. We stayed in a room that is not a suite and it’s an adequate size for 2 people- there’s room to move around the bed, and a fairly large bathroom. It had an AC that kept the room pretty cool even on a hot day, as well as a small fan (which we did not use because it was extremely loud). The owners were nice and offered information about the home and the area. The price for the weekend was lower than most comparable options in the area. The not-as-good: The home could use some updating and a deep cleaning. The entryway gate, stairs, and doorway are very narrow and difficult to bring luggage through. A fan and fire extinguisher sat on the ground in the hall, which made getting luggage past them difficult. There was dust in the room, and on items in the second floor sitting area. Lots of chips in furniture and on dishes, DIY paint/repairs on walls and around the shower etc. Mold stains on the curtain liner. There’s no water in the room besides bathroom tap water so you need to get bottled water for the room. The wi-fi also did not work during our stay. The bed is advertised as pillow top and it was rather firm. Not all windows had coverings so the room was bright in the morning. Breakfast was the biggest disappointment- at other B&Bs I’ve stayed in that also advertised multi-course breakfasts, the entree is cooked fresh to order during the other courses, and the courses all appeared fresh. The website description did not match the meal at all here- it described fresh local berries; our fruit plate was a piece of banana, single slice of orange, some grapes and such each morning and from photos and reviews it seems that’s been the case for years. The fruit is served on a plate covered in wrap, and you remove the wrap yourself and eat it- it does not appear very fresh. The cheese comes the same way, and single small pieces of cheese. We forgot to include an allergen in our reservation but mentioned it at check in and were told it wasn’t served one day but was planned for the other day but it would only have a “sprinkling” of it, which was an odd response- we expected they’d confirm they’d leave an allergen off. He then seemed to realize that wasn’t a satisfactory response and said he could leave it off. Yet, both days the allergen was served to the person with the allergy, which was rather surprising. The entrees were not very hot either day, and honestly not very well-made; they lacked flavor and had strange textures that made us wonder if they’re pre-made and then sat in a warmer or recooked, and the ingredients again did not seem fresh (several seemed to be canned/frozen and then heated). We did not finish our meals either day and were left hungry. The French press was also served with water that was not hot enough one day- guessing it was also prepared in advance and left sitting out (though we arrived exactly on time). I would recommend they change the description of the food on the website, because the gourmet multi-course meal and description of getting to choose ingredients for some entrees and fresh local berries and such is quite misleading to what we got. If you go in prepared for a more chain hotel-style breakfast where everything is pre-made and not fresh, it would be less disappointing. If I stayed here again, I would skip breakfast entirely and enjoy tasty options in town.
