The Newport Gem is a charming houseboat in the form of a paddle steamer. It is in a fabulous location overlooking Yaquina Bridge - very quiet and very comfortable. The boat is fitted out to a very high standard. Mike and Nancy are excellent hosts and Mike cooks a very tasty breakfast. They provided plenty of recommendations of places to... More

We spent only one night in this B&B, yet it's definitely one of the nicest B&B we ever stayed at. Our room was relatively small, with ensuite shower. Everything was REALLY clean. Nancy and Michael were lovely hosts! Rogue brewery is just 5 minutes walk away and we ended up drinking beer and eating dinner there. We had a wonderful... More

Wonderful get away to celebrate my wife's 64th Birth Day - the complementary wine while enjoying the floor to ceiling windows of the Sun Room was perfect and the Breakfast was delicious! Michael was an excellent host and Charlie and Arfer added a very hominess to the experience!

Newport is a great little town, and the Newport Belle is a great place to stay. This B&B is really unique, the views are amazing, Michael is a wonderful host, the breakfasts are delicious, and the stern-wheeler is full of character. If you get a chance, request to stay in Room 4 (the Sunset Cabin) - it has the best... More

We enjoyed our stay here so much we ended up adding another night. The room was so cozy and relaxing, with beautiful views to the bridge and water. The owners, Michael and Nancy are very friendly but also leave you to yourself as well. They were also super accommodating to us for breakfast. We are vegan and asked ahead of... More

The Newport Belle is in a class by itself - literally - since it's the only paddle wheel B&B in the country. After reading the 1 and 2 star raters, I had to wonder if we had stayed in the same place, but the grousers may just be chronically unhappy people - they do exist. Yes, the Belle may not... More

My wife found this location in the Internet. We were on a round trip through Oregon and this was the best place were we stayed. The old river boot is a very special location. From the first view to the warm welcome, the evening with red wine, nice room, one of the best breakfast we had in the USA -... More

We had my mother on our trip with us and we wanted to treat her to some out-of-the-norm lodging experiences and when I found Newport Belle online, it was no contest; we were staying here. My wife and I had the Admiral's Cabin and my Mom had The Chart Room, which was nice for unloading luggage. If you're looking for... More

The Newport Belle B&B is the only riverboat B&B in the U.S. It has 5 cabins--3 on the lower deck and 2 on the middle level. We stayed in cabin #1, the Sunrise Room. The room was cozy with a queen bed, small table and chairs, open closet area, and private bath with shower. There are windows in the front... More
