RubyJune Inn

Wow, what a truly magical place! When my wife and I arrived on Friday evening, we were greeted by hosts Chris and Gretchen, and we knew instantly it was going to be a fantastic weekend to spend our 2nd Anniversary. The Inn is just so lovely- from the beautiful and super clean rooms, to the sprawling the wisteria growing over the patio, and the incredible attention to detail everywhere you look, or the freshly ground coffee and French presses in each room....just so many great details everywhere that have been thoroughly thought-through. Oh, and the breakfasts in the morning? Those are totally amazing as well...you get to choose between the fresh scones, the quiches, the fruit plates, the toast made from some of the best local bread, and the delicious greek yogurt and fresh blueberries that go on top. And more amazing coffee. You also should know that I'm not much of a Bed and Breakfast fan, just due to the simple fact that you are usually stuck in a weird old Victorian house with squeaky beds, where everyone can hear everything going on, and then you are usually stuck having to talk with some usually quite odd Innkeepers....I'll say that the Ruby June is everything that those kinds of places are not! The hosts are really interesting, great conversationalists, they're fun, and most of all, they are passionate about what they do. They truly want every guest to have an incredible stay. My wife and I were completely enchanted by the whole experience. So, if you are lucky enough to find an opening in their busy schedule, I suggest you book it fast! You will not regret it.

Amazing stay! We absolutely loved the RubyJune Inn. The beds were so comfortable, the rooms decorated wonderfully, and both the room and the bathroom were very clean! The owners clearly put a lot of love into this place, including the gorgeous patio, the ice bar (which sadly we didn't even have the time to enjoy), and the farmhouse kitchen. The food was exceptional, so fresh, healthy, and tasty. We were the only guests staying at the time but Gretchen and Chris were still great hosts, giving us great advice on places to eat (Henni's kitchen was one of the best meals on our ten-day trip!) and the hike to the falls that Chris suggested was also a trip highlight. Definitely stay here if you are in the area!

This charming small inn is a wonderful alternative to the crowds in Hood River. It's quiet in its rural setting, with the distant sound of a rooster during the day. Our room was very pretty, clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We always appreciate being able to make tea in our room! The patio looks lovely but we didn't make us of it as the weather was still a bit cool. Our hosts were super friendly and helpful too! The location is ideal for hiking in the Gorge, and the town of White Salmon has some excellent dining options and good wine bars.
