Prime lodging is provided at The Campbell House Inn by one of the poshest B&B’s I’ve ever had the pleaseure of spending the night in. Situated on an incline in the historic Skinner’s Butte district, just above the town’s recently renovated old-fashioned train station, the house has gables galore and is surrounded by lush gardens. Built in 1892, it opened as a B&B in 1993.
Guests can stay in either the main house or in a more private carriage house. Both venues offer rooms richly-decorated with sumptuous fabrics. My cozy room in the carriage house featured a busy decor with gorgeous yellow floral fabric set against dark rusty-red walls—a very feminine yet masculine atmosphere. It was appointed with a high bed requiring a stool to reach and had every convenience, including a switch to flip for music.
The 5th Street Public Market and the downtown Hult Center for the Performing Arts are within easy walking distance, and a riverside jogging-bike path is minutes away. All this plus an included afternoon tea in the inn’s cozy parlor (think chocolate chip cookies and a large selection of teas) and a full breakfast, too. Teas celebrating Secretary’s Day and Mother’s Day are usually scheduled in April and May and require reservations. In December, carolers in period dress greet guests arriving for holiday teas scheduled throughout the month. These three-course Victorian-style teas feature frozen mousse, scones, sandwiches, tiny desserts, and chocolate treats.
More tea times around the world.
