The name of the venue and location caught my attention after receiving our wedding invitation:  To…read morebe held at the Tin Roof Barn in White Salmon, WA.  Wow!    ATMOSPHERE: From a wedding guest's standpoint, this place is beautiful!  Located off a rural road in southern Washington near the Columbia River and Oregon border, we were surrounded by lush rolling hills, pines and an apple orchard.  Parking is right up front of the venue with the bride and groom's quarters thereafter.  Lawn games were available including horseshoe and corn hole.  A stone pathway lined with manicured gardens connects to the open-air pavilion where cocktails were served and hors d'oeuvres passed.  The ceremony was to the right of the barn with the apple orchard as the backdrop.  And, the star of the show, the barn, is where the reception was held.  Fret not as there wasn't a dirt floor, stables or bales of hay.  The barn's floor is polished cement with a built-in bar, soaring roof and chandelier lighting; an ingenious mix of rustic and modern.  Restrooms are behind the barn.   EXPERIENCE: The parking lot is a grassy field but due to vehicular access many spots were bald with dirt, so our shoes got very dusty walking from the car to the venue.   Lawn games weren't too popular as the majority of us got our drank on!  LOL.   The pavilion, with its faux fireplace, was a nice spot to have pre-ceremony time as guests mingled, drank, ate and conversed.  My only complaint is that there was a long line for the bar due to only two bartenders working.  I was also turned away twice for drinks as I waited for the crowd to subside before ordering prior to the ceremony and reception.  Really?   Being a September wedding, the weather was perfect with no jackets needed but it was very hot during the ceremony as only half of the guests were shaded by the barn's shadow.    Table setup inside the barn were on rectangles of 10 with a mishmash of different chairs.  It was difficult to hear what people were saying over the mic as the volume was so low.  Dinner was family-style, my least favorite dining option.  Courses were dropped off one by one which is fine, but the entrée and accompaniments should come together.  For example, the salad came out first, fine.  But then the side of veggies come out by themselves so people were starting to nibble.  After a few minutes the rice comes out.  After the rice cooled down the chicken comes out, with the steak following.  It was like eating at a teppanyaki joint but with cold food.    FOOD: Crab Cakes - These were passed as hors d'oeuvres prior to the ceremony and they were really good.  But they only came out once (to us anyway). Snacks table - A cornucopia of little bites were available in the pavilion including cheeses, hearts of palm and crackers.   Salad - Our first plated course which I passed on as I wasn't into the mix of leaves.  I'm more inclined to romaine or green leaf.   Veggies - I honestly can't remember what exactly was served but they were good!   Rice pilaf - That's what was stated on the table menu but it was more of a risotto as it was super sticky, mushy and low on flavor.  Bleh.   Chicken - Simply roasted and lightly seasoned.  The piece I had was on the dry side.   Steak - Easily the tastiest meal of them all, drizzled in a savory chimichurri sauce.  It was so good we asked for more.   After dinner was dancing but the DJ's music was so soft that it didn't give you (or me, anyway) the excitement of being on a dancefloor.  The bar stayed open till the very end with the two bartenders providing friendly and quick service.   OVERALL: We have similar venues on Maui and these guys are right up there with the best of them.

The Ruins, you've WOWED me!…read more Stunning grounds of what must have been an old building, now only a few walls, with nature having taken over doing its thing all throughout the cement and brick remnants. The bar, adjoining restrooms and such are attached in a way that does not cheapen the natural beauty of it all. It's not a huge selection of beverages, but there's plenty enough you should be able to find at least one or two beverages you like from the beer, wine, cider, seltzer, etc. selections. Finding the Ruins is easy as well as parking. There's great signage pointing you in the right direction, and it's only one block off the main strip in downtown Hood River. The acoustics are fantastic, and it was a blast being able to be right there in front of the stage. The music was loud, but not too loud. I wasn't worried at all about not having earplugs. From what I hear, they have rotating food carts for events and shows. We were able to choose from an ice cream/gourmet ice cream-float cart, and a savory and sweet crêpe cart. We had both of course! The kid's vanilla ice cream with passionfruit soda float was delicious! 2025 #21

They also have pair of wine, which was super unique and delicious. Some of the trees had pears on them and it was such a beautiful evening getting to celebrate friends.

I was so surprised and pleased to hear that they would pick up napkins (from a separate rental co.) the day before and have them folded prior to the wedding- I had expected that I would be doing that. They also printed up menus with colors of our choice and, upon request, noted vegan and GF options for guests. And the food, oh the food! Guests and vendors alike raved about the food that was served. The variety and quality of the appetizers and sides was amazing. The cedar-plank salmon was cooked perfectly. Guests really enjoyed the family-style service that we opted for. It felt great to be able to supply such a fantastic meal for our friends and family.

We rolled into downtown Trout Lake, WA around sundown on our way back from Mt. Adams and realized…read morewe'd better find a place to sleep. We saw Kelly's sign and went in and asked if they had rooms available. It's not the place I'd choose as a romantic getaway, but it is pleasant and pretty and very well kept. And they have dogs, which immediately endeared me to the place. Kelly Enochs and wife Marilyn run a nice little B&B here. We didn't see much of Marilyn (although her pressed-flower art decorates the place) but Kelly was very chatty, perhaps almost too much so. I'm sure one craves company when you run a B&B out in the woods and it's off-season! Location is great: right on a creek, right off the main road, on a side road that leads out into the 'country' (nice for walking or morning runs). There is a nice sitting room downstairs with a very good library of outdoors-related books. The antique couch is pretty but not the most comfortable. Kelly has a large collection of music and is a big music fan ... and will tell you all about it if you're interested. Our room (Creekside - a double upstairs; see photos) was large and comfortable. We had to go around the corner outside to use the bathroom (sink, toilet, clawfoot tub), but there were no other guests, so that worked out fine. Kelly is also a coffee addict, so there WILL be a fresh pot waiting for you in the morning. Breakfast was good with plenty of food ... all the basics you would expect - something eggy, something bready, something sausagey, fruit, coffee & tea. All in all, a nice time, and I would go back if I were in the area.
