Deepwood is a beautiful Victorian House with gardens and trails along Mill Creek. It is a wonderful place for a wedding or an afternoon outing. The detail of the house and gardens are immaculate. The woodwork inside and outside the house are magnificent. The gardens have colorful flowers in garden rooms and borders as well as formal gardens with gazebos.

This is a serene, heavenly place to pause, reflect, and engage your senses. Even in fall, with many of the flowers cut back, there is plenty to experience. Well worth the visit.

Even if you arent a history buff, the house and the grounds are beautiful. It is worth it to come during all seasons to get a wonderful feel of the Pacific Northwest and all of its seasonal plants. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and took all the time to answer all of our questions

First time visiting. Didnt look at many things, but what I saw filled me with peace and contentment. I ate my sandwich and rested in the shade of two beautiful trees as I waited for my doctors appointment. The volunteers and staff were kind and knowledgeable about the species of flowers and trees. Wish I had the time to wait for more doctors appointments there.

Beautiful gardens...the home was closed but still worth going!

We had an excellent tour of the home. Our young female guide told us about the home and the 3 families that lived there. There are many photos but few family articles. However they supplement the family articles with items from the correct time periods. Two examples were a player piano and an early version of a record player. Both were operated and it was very nice experience. It is an old home on two floors and steep stairs need to be climbed. The city of Salem and the volunteer groups are to be commended for preserving this piece of Salem history. We timed our visit so we could follow the home tour with a once a month guided tour of the gardens by Lord & Schryver volunteers. This greatly added to our enjoyment of the gardens since they described everything and answered all our questions. The gardens are extensive and much was in bloom. To our surprise, we were the only visitors on our tours.

Fun, something to do if u need to kill time. House isnt very big so the tour is short but neat to see the history of the owners and you can wander around the gardens for as long as you want.

Gorgeous estate. The outdoor garden area is incredible, but the greenhouse is the highlight! And its all kept up by a volunteer staff. Tours wednesday through saturday from 9:00-12:00. Didnt get a chance to see the inside myself. Its a wedding venue as well.

I loved being able to tour this old house without an appt! We literally decided last minute to go in and they were more than willing to let us take a walk around and learn about the history of the house! Was a great place for a wedding but would not have fit our party! This wonderful garden is fun to walk thru and then visit this beautiful old home. It’s not handicapped accessible; but, if you can get up the stairs it’s well worth it.

Super interesting and well-worth a trip. Bring cash as their card reader doesnt work and requires a huge effort on their part to get it to a nearby card reader. The volunteer was friendly and very knowledgeable.

First time there. I went to their open house. It was so interesting, and Im glad I went. The house is impeccable, the staff and volunteers so nice and engaging. They all made sure we knew about each area, pointed out little details. Everyone is very passionate about the house and their mission

Absolutely lovely historical home and grounds. Can I suggest having a few tea choices rather than just one You might also consider selling tea cups and saucers.

Fr
Review №60

Although the home does not have many of the original owners furnishings, there is still plenty to see from the same time period. The family that had the home built wanted the most modern conveniences available such as electricity and plumbing. Because we were there on a rainy March day, we werent able to enjoy as much of the Gardens as we would have liked. It will definitely be worth walking the gardens in the summer. On the upside, there were only 4 adults and 2 small children in our tour group.

This is such a charming, historical place! I highly recommend going on a free house tour. The exhibits are constantly changing and they even hold high teas here every month. If you want to take a step back into time, definitely put Deepwood on your list.

A very nice place to stroll through for fun. Great photo opportunities. Sometimes the staff at the house(not the volunteer gardeners)can be rude. The paths can get mudded up in wet weather, bring boots.

Review №85

Im so thrilled I was able to hold my wedding at the Historic Deepwood Estate. The price for the beauty of the venue, the inclusion of chairs and tables, break down and set-up was incredibly affordable. The gardens are so well-maintained, it made for stunning photos. Their on-site events coordinator was communicative and very helpful in providing guidance to make the day perfect. I received nothing but compliments from my guests about the venue. I would recommend Deepwood to any bride looking for a garden wedding in this region.

Love going there the green houses that they have there. The paths could be updated maybe and the information plaques that they have along the trails definitely need to be updated as half of them are missing.

It is incredibly small. The walking paths took me 15 minutes to clear and Im a slow walker. I do however like the idea of a forest type environment in a city so I didnt completely hate it and its free to walk around in.

Review №94

They serve tea . . . The best high tea in the Willamette valley, your have to book ahead as it is not an everyday occurrence. Also wonderful house tour, events (weddings here are popular), meetings in a truly memorable environment. Gorgeous gardens, the gardens are open most days.

Review №95

This venue is very beautiful and most of the staff is great all but the actual manager. Unfortunately she is not customer friendly by any means and is very rude. It very surprising they are able to keep booking events with her lack of customer service skills. So if you are planning for this venue to be your wedding place just make sure you know all your limits and times because they will shoo you out so fast that your head will spin. I give this 2 stars and the two stars are only for the beauty of the actual venue. Also it could use twinkle lights just about everywhere on the grounds and be more accessible for vendors.
