Gilchrist Inn

Marlene was wonderful. The house was well furnished and very comfortable. It will be on our list of places to visit again

This place was a gem and Marlene is such a sweet host. Can't recommend it enough. Accommodations had a ton of space both inside and outside, great value. Hope to return someday.

Host Marlene is an angel from Heaven. She is the most thoughtful, kind and conscientious host I have ever met. We had the good fortune to find her when we had to leave a motel which shouldn’t have been functioning as a motel. So we were traumatized and she was a breath of fresh air! She points out that the water out of the tap is exceedingly good in Gilchrist, and we agree. Every time we turned around we saw another thoughtful detail or fascinating art. The place is impeccably clean and her care and attention are evident everywhere. Thank you, Marlene!

The rooms are more like fully furnished apartments than motel rooms. Everything you need except your clothes and toiletries is included. Marlene is a sweetie pie, and the rates are really good compared to some faceless corporate motel. This is within walking distance of the convenience store and the restaurant in Gilchrist, or if you are more ambitious, Crescent is about a mile away with more restaurants. This is a wonderful alternative to the usual.

Marlene the host was amazing and the room was such a good value! The room was large and included a living room and kitchen! I really appreciated the decorations as well. Talking to Marlene was the best part! She is very responsive and kind! We had a great time visiting her here! The place was great and I would love to stay here again!

We stayed in unit #1 for 6 nights. It had three bedrooms, one bath, a full sized living room, kitchen with full sized oven and fridge, and two smaller misc. rooms for sleeping and playing. The beds were VERY comfortable and clean, and the two leather sofas and two leather rocking recliners were also comfy and relaxing. They days and nights were quiet and peaceful. Our children enjoy playing on the manicured lawn right outside of our unit. The hostess came in as often as needed to clean up. This being said, I'm surprised that there in no washer and dryer, as the hookups are all there. Instead, there is a twin bed in what used to be the laundry room. I would gladly have paid more per night to have the washer and dryer, rather than drive the twenty minutes into La Pine, and another hour doing laundry at the laundromat. Also, there is no AC or other type of cooling system in our unit. Instead each room had an oscillating fan. The days were cooler when we stayed here so the fans were just fine. Update 08/31/2018: I received a call from the owner a few days after we left, saying that our children wet the bed and now she needs to treat it as a bio hazard. She was going off of stains left on the mattress pads....... Odd that the stains were not on the sheets. Needless to say this was not from us. Anyway, the owner is a nice lady, but just be aware that you may be getting a call if she finds stains after you leave.

A great place to stay. I called the owner on short notice and she went out her way to find me a room for the night. The rooms are fantastic. Quiet, clean and huge. 1200 square feet huge! Full kitchen, big living /dining room, two big bedrooms. The owner is very friendly and really cares about her property.

Lovely little place to rest. Plenty of room, good facilities including an outdoor kitchen (depends on the unit), Marlene the owner is lovely. Double bonus for having Easy Rider on VHS, although a Gen X thumbs down to the person that didn't rewind the tape!!
