Welcome to St Johns Inn located on 1.25 acres and with expansive views of the mountains, river and downtown. The venue hosts events for up to 50 guests and offers the unique opportunity for the wedding party to stay on the property overnight in our beautifully appointed bedroom suites.
The property provides a secluded, rural feel while having all of the conveniences offered in an urban setting. With trees and foliage in every direction, ships passing by on the river and the backdrop of the 1910 lumber baron's mansion, there is ample beauty to enjoy and endless opportunities for unique and stunning photographs.

The 1.25 acre lot offers plenty of space for everything you could want.

Such an incredible stay. The property is beautiful and the view of the river is a perfect way to spend a spring or summer evening.
I booked my room for the wrong evening and the owner was super accommodating and nice and helped me switch. I’ll...
definitely be back for a longer stay.

Absolutely lovely room and location. Felt really secluded and secure, yet we were close to our fishing spot & various breweries. We loved the little kitchen & outdoor table & chairs that overlooked the river. We will definitely stay here a...

Wonderful inn in a beautiful setting. Room was lovely and the history of the inn fascinating. Loved sitting in the expansive grounds overlooking the Willamette river, watching the river boats. Room was huge and very comfortable.

One of a kind. If you like the photos online, you'll love the place in person. Quirky, comfortable, great location, and clean. The views of the river alone are worth the stay. Shopping and restaurants are nearby--as in minutes. Going Downtown (...
e.g., Powell's Books)? 15 minutes. Willamette Valley Wineries (Dundee)? 30 minutes. Columbia River Gorge (Hood River)? 45 minutes. A home away from home.

Oh, my. This was a very special place to stay, and one we'll be talking about for years. One evening during our visit we made the pleasant walk through the pretty local streets to the St John's Pub & Theatre to watch a film in the historic Lewi...
s & Clark Exposition hall. The next evening we ate a takeaway pizza and drank a glass of red wine in the spacious riverside garden available to guests at the St John's Inn, watching the sunset and then the lights of downtown Portland start sparkling into the darkness. Our room was huge with wonderful views, spotlessly clean, and beautifully furnished with attention to detail. Ornate door hooks, a pretty bathroom rug, a little basket of carefully chosen sweet treats, all small details which make a big impact. In the kitchen provided for guests was a range of coffees, including decaf, and organic milk in the fridge. Teas on offer included mint tea and English Breakfast, plus a kettle for the perfect cuppa! (We ate breakfast pastries which we'd bought from the nearby Safeway store in St John's). One day we went into Portland so we could visit the Historical Society's museum, and we parked at the nearest Smart car park to the museum. The charges were very reasonable, and there were plenty of parking spaces. Portland's traffic can get slow at big junctions, but it was surprisingly quick and easy to get between Downtown Portland and St John's Inn. The owner was very nice and welcoming, and has created a truly exceptional establishment that you cannot fail to love.
