Built
in 1928 by French craftsman and renowned inventor August
Guignard, the homestead at 1373 Barker Road featured acres
of farms and orchards as well as manufacturing operations
for the fruit grading equipment he pioneered. Today, that
home is Seven Oaks Bed & Breakfast and it continues
to be one of the finest historical homes in the nation.
The
neighborhood is now characterized by scattered light industrial
spaces and farms. Nestled here is Seven Oaks Bed & Breakfast
and its two acres of lush gardens bordered by mature Douglas
Firs that provide complete privacy and the feel of country
living. Views of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams provide a dramatic
backdrop for serene and peaceful seating nooks and gardens
within the meticulously kept grounds.
Located
outside of the bustle of downtown Hood River in an area
called "The Heights," Seven Oaks is conveniently
close to, but peacefully detached from, the "city
life" of Hood River. Here you can have the best
of both worlds. Just two miles away is a small shopping
center
featuring Rosauer's Market, Hood River's finest market
specializing in local, gourmet, and organic food and
produce. Nearby
is the majestic Columbia River Gorge, renowned for world-class
windsurfing, mountain biking, horseback riding, wineries,
and more. Ample storage for your recreational equipment
available on premises. A
favorite among wedding guests, Seven Oaks is the perfect
location for your gathering or retreat.
