Husum Riverside Bed & Breakfast & Icehouse Cafe

My husband and I stayed here for two nights mid-​week in the off season and had the place to ourselves. The service was top-​notch, however. The room (Tuscan Room) was very clean, elegantly decorated and had freshly baked chocolate chip cookies on the desk when we stepped in. The jacuzzi tub was spotless and quite a treat after a long day of hiking. There was an impressive breakfast selection each morning and complimentary tea or coffee any time of the day. They even offered to pack us a snack on one of our days exploring the area.
What sets this B&B apart is the people. It is owned by a wonderful family and throughout our stay we were delighted by all of them. Connie, who cooks the breakfasts and with whom we had the most interaction, was beyond helpful. We are looking at potentially relocating to the area and she helped provide more information than we could have hoped for, not to mention a sense of the quality of people who live here. The attentiveness of the whole crew really made the difference. By the time we left we felt like part of the family. They even invited us to taste test some of the wine and cheesecake they were considering serving for their special Valentine’s weekend dinner at the café, which felt like quite an honor. We also got to tour the other rooms since they were vacant, and I can tell you, they are all decorated as tastefully as the Tuscan room.
As for location, Husum is just up White Salmon River valley from White Salmon. It only took about 11 minutes to drive into White Salmon. If you are here for winter sports on Mount Adams, the location is very convenient. In the summer you are right next to the river rafting operations, as well as several seasonal food options, including the B&B’s Ice House Café (which we sadly didn’t get to try since we visited in the off season).
If you have a chance to stay here, do it! This is a gem in the Gorge.

We were excited to find this fantastic gem and the amazing family that hosts it. The Husum Riverside BnB was more than promised. My wife and I haven’t had a vacation in so long, so the three days we stayed with the Nices (yep, their name says it ALL!) was an oasis in the already lush river valley. Breakfast was superb, they catered to my wife’s gluten and dairy allergy, provided hot coffee, incredible handmade scones, and even sent us with some goodies on a hiking day. If you are looking anywhere in the Mt. Hood/​Hood River/​Mt. Adams/​White Salmon area, make the short, easy, beautiful drive. We promise it’s worth it! We WILL be back!

Visited the Icehouse Café for dinner. Delicious food, lovely candlelit patio, very affordable prices. Didn’t stay overnight, but we did get a chance to look in a couple of the unoccupied rooms. Each one looked clean and crisp with a fun European theme. The new owners took over in late spring 2015 and it looks like they are off to a great start.

Went on a rafting adventure and didn’t want to return immediately to pdx. Lovely joint, room was very nice, tub was amaze. Would def stay again.

I had written review for another business. Please ignore since I cannot delete it!

What a gem in this river country. Small menu at the café is more than adequate for hungry adventurers. And the warm vanilla cake was to die for. REALLY! The hosts had us feeling like old friends. We’lll be back.

I am not sure I would call this a Bed and Breakfast… it is quaint, the rooms are very excellent, affordable, and comfortable, but the main guest house is separate from the other rooms affording you extra privacy in nice setting.
We rolled in with friends from the the area and were not disappointed… it’s close to rafting, but it’s also close to Mt Adams, the White Salmon River, and a very short drive to Hood River (and about an hour from Portland). The ice house has wine tasting from local vineyards, and the patio is a great place for dinner and cocktails.
Can’t say enough good things about the hosts, Randy and Trish. Truly great people. Try their Drunken Chicken (and don’t forget about dessert)!

This quaint little Bed & Breakfast is tucked alongside Wet Planet and the other rafting/​water sport places. We arrived a little bit too early for our river rafting adventure, so we followed the signs that said «hot food and cold beer».
When we wandered over, we were so pleasantly surprised. It is the cutest little patio area to have lunch. They have a little wine tasting room, lots of tables for 2, and great customer service. They serve only meditteranean food. We ordered some chicken skewers (absolutely wonderful), grape leaves and 2 ice cold coronas.
This place has that cozy, romantic feel to it. Definitely check it out if you want hot food and a cold beer in an adorable setting…
