I asked the guy to show us the pool, and he said no. Kinda rude. Maybe raise his pay? Why so sad and unfriendly

This was my second trip to the Edgefield and it did not disappoint. The building evokes a feeling of nostalgia for a time gone by. Cozy nooks for reading or visiting, great little “pubs” for a libation, a fun gift shop, and excellent restaurants. We were a group of 3 couples, and sharing “room tours” was a highlight. Watch for surprises hidden in the fabulous artwork. The grounds are gorgeous and a soak in the hot pool is a must. I appreciated the lack of TV’s in the rooms.

The bartender at the golf course is horrible. We waited for 10 minutes in line to check in for our tee time. When we finally got to the front of the line, she said we were too late and could not play golf. We would have made it had she not been so slow (which caused the long line). We drove all the way there just to play golf. Thanks for ruining our birthday outing.

I was under the impression this facility would be handicap accessible. I am disabled and my back sometimes locks up if I walk too much. This issue with my back leaves me unable to walk. I was having a bad back day and asked the front desk if they had a wheelchair and they said no. So I was forced to walk so far to the location of the wedding rehearsal that I couldn't participate in the rehearsal because of how much pain I was in. Kimberly, the employee who was assigned to the wedding, grabbed a chair immediately and was super accommodating. She informed me that there is an ADA golf cart to assist people getting around the large property. She mentioned it's usually only available during the evening, which is ridiculous because disabled people are disabled 24/7. My husband and I realized that he could also drive right up to where I needed to be. The person I dealt with at the front desk was completely incompetent. The venue and staff I dealt with were not accommodating to my disability in the least. The wedding coordinator, who was a friend of the bride, was more accommodating than this establishment.

I met my family here as a starting point for our reunion. We had lunch at the Loading Dock Grill. No line. Service was good and so was the food. If we had more time, we would have definitely stayed longer. Lots to see and do.

Great dinner and drinks at the black rabbit and breakfast the next day. Enjoyed walking the grounds. This is a very unique venue that I would love to visit again, but next time I'll get a room and catch a concert.

You want a cool experience? This is the place! You have happening bars, winery, distillery, pool hall and niche spaces for every taste. Great food, service and really helpful and friendly staff. The rooms are unique. No phone or TV but really that not why you come here. The artwork is very Oregon. If you are really lucky there is live concerts and music on weekends. Don’t forget to visit the soaking tub! Within easy reach of Portland, Portland airport and area sightseeing.

This was our second stay at McMenamins Edgefield and we hope to go again. It is so unique and we love the brothers' mission of saving and reviving vintage buildings. We changed our whole trip plan in order to take advantage of the only nights available at the inn in 2017. The STORY of the inn is so powerful, and plays out in the murals in the hallways and in the rooms. We have lounged for hours in the beautiful river pool, sampled the wines, beers, and whisky, strolled in the gardens, and enjoyed the food. Do not miss McMenamins if you are in Portland!

Always great customer service.

This is my happy place! We are McMenamin Tripsters & have truly enjoyed the journey of completing our passport. Our son got married at Edgefield above the Power Station last year & the food & staff were amazing! The whole property has something for everyone!
I feel like I really stayed on a poor-farm. For as much money as the average patron spends, I think that the property could afford to upgrade the bedding options, unless....threadbare sheets, flat (and only 2) pillows, scratchy thin blankets, and lumpy hard beds are part of the "experience". I do, however, love the atmosphere of McMenamin's properties, and enjoy the carnivale like atmosphere. The best part of the stay was the outdoor lazy river style pool....simply magical at night. Book spa treatments well in advance, as they book up quickly.

We reserved months ago and yet we’re given a room that had a porch right outside where people gathered and talked. Not only could we not open our curtains, but we could hear every word that was said, including swearing. They might as well have been in our room. I went to the front desk to complain but they had no other rooms to switch us to and no one seemed to care all that much that we were unhappy. They implied that we could just leave if we weren’t dissatisfied. The bathroom closest to us was littered with trash and not clean. The bedding was sloppy. Never again.

Not your usual place, huge property to explore. Great concerts on the lawn in summer. Just saw Bonnie Raitt and Mavis Staples, it was like time traveling. Lots of fun. Had a nice meal at the patio spot next to the Power Station

Over an hour reviewing my bill I found 3 major errors confirmed by my bank: 1. Without notice or authorization, all but the last day was already charged to my card, supposedly. 2. The card charged was actually that of another guest with a very Anglo name vs. my very Hispanic name. 3. The holds they had placed on my card, above charges, were 150% of what they told me. Each mistake was about $1, 000. To add insult to injury, after over an hour of trying to resolve these obvious errors the manager, who finally emerged, directed me not to deal with her staff anymore since my unilaterally uncovering error after error made them uncomfortable. I had remained calm, kind, and respectful since this was not their fault but that of McMenamins faulty policies and systems to which they could only reference. Over years, my family visited frequently, including paying for 3 weddings. Shame we won’t be back.

We have begun staying in McMenamin's hotels for fun, just to compare them, and Edgefield wins so far. The place is huge. You should come early and stay late. Our room was small and comfortable and we don't mind bathrooms down the hall, especially when robes are provided and all the guests were so friendly. Do bring shower shoes. There is wifi but no TV and we did not miss it. We parked next to one of the vineyards, and explored other gardens - especially loved the large vegetable garden, watched glassblowing, took the brewery, distillery, and winery tours, and the history tour. Saw a freaking awesome concert on the lawn. We went to the soaking pool which is beautiful and inviting. A chance encounter with an employee who spotted us on tippie toes looking through a window of Blackberry Hall opened the door for us and let us explore while he worked in there. Not golfers, but the golf course is well cared for. We found the Jerry Garcia statue and the onion dome and chatted with a man working hard over barrels of wine. We wondered at vines growing up the fabulous water tower with sunflowers at its base. We explored ceramic art in the former morgue, enjoyed the always engaging art hanging on the walls, or painted directly onto the walls, or on the pipes, or in sculpture. Even though we bought wine in the Little Red Shed, stopped to cool off in the Black Rabbit House, lunched at the Power Station Pub, imbibed a pint at Jerry's Ice House and the Distillery Bar, stopped in at the Tea House, had a quick salad at The Black Rabbit restaurant, we didn't see it all. We didn't play pool at the pool hall and there's a theatre too? Not enough time! We will be back.
