Built in 1872 in historic Lafayette, the Kelty Estate B&B was built in the Colonial Revival style and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The proud white house with green trim is surrounded by lawns, gardens and two hundred year old native trees. Painstaking restoration has left the interior with a new feeling, while graceful architectural details and selected antiques recall another era.
Start your day of wine tasting or exploring Yamhill Valley with a hearty breakfast cooked like you wish you had every morning.
From "The Kelty," you can travel to the Coast, Mt. Hood or just enjoy local sights and be back in time for a glass of local wine with cheese, on the house.
Go out to dinner in one of the fine restaurants in the Valley and finally enjoy whatever followed by a wonderful sleep.
