“Elegant B and B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

Sallie and Ted, the owners, are adorable. My sister and I stayed here for one night and wished we had more time just to chat with the owners. Decor is exquisite. Spotless and comfortable and the breakfast was terrific. Takes you back in time as it was so welcoming.
We happen to love trains, so the nightly trains were not a problem. This area has trains no matter where you stay. If you need help with luggage up the stairs all you have to do is ask.
Will stay here again definitely.

“good location, clean, train in morning”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2011

I stayed just one night. I chose Vancouver as a quiet alternative to Portland. Briar Rose is downtown Vancouver with an easy access to the freeway, walking distance to few restaurants, 2 minutes by car to the Officers' Row and Fort Vancouver both worth visiting. The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, breakfast was good though not to my taste. The owners pleasant and easy going. The one down side is a train that blows its whistle around maybe 5AM. I did not wear the earplugs thoughtfully provided by the owners and so woke up to it but went back to sleep. Otherwise it is a quiet and comfortable place.

“A pleasant stay, with interesting hosts.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2011

This was our first visit to Vancouver Washington and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting the city. We stayed in the Hearth Room for 2 nights and found the room very cosy and nicely decorated. The bed was large and comfortable. We were attracted by the French decor of the home as we are fellow Francophiles and we had some very interesting and informative discussions with the hosts about each others travels in France. Sally was very informative as to recommendations for dining and Tom cooked up some great breakfasts for us. We would certainly stay here again another time.

“Friendly and helpful hosts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2010

We stayed here while visiting our son and his wife in Portland. Ted would always ask us "how are the kids?" He even invited them for breakfast on our last day is town. We just thought he and Sally were such nice people. They take great pride in their home they have restored.

“A lovely gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2010

I search the web and decided to book this B&B from the photos and comments. Innkeepers Sally & Tom were friendly & cheerful and made our stay enjoyable. This lovely, relaxing B&B was immaculate & comfortable. A quaint, colorful floral garden surrounds the inn featuring a variety of flowers and highlighted with roses galore. We stayed 2 nights in the French Room w/private bath. Breakfast was gourmet, scrumptious & delicious. This B&B is a gem and we loved it!
