The Astoria Inn Bed and Breakfast in Astoria, Oregon is located on a hillside of a residential neighborhood overlooking the beautiful Columbia River on the edge of a lush, dense forest. The house was built in 1890 as a private residence by Olie Haren, a fine Norwegian fellow. Though the setting is very quiet, you can at times hear the soothing sounds of the foghorns on passing ships, or the barking of the sea lions enjoying their playtime on the piers skirting the river.
