When it's chilly outside, cozy quarters make the best retreat. Rain on the windowpanes, a crackling fire, a comfy chair with a good book, the aroma of a warm drink or scones baking... these are the rewards at the end of the day after the adventures are done, the mountains climbed, the beach strolled and the city centers explored. 

Whether you want to stay in town, head to the Oregon Coast or up into the mountains, here are a few overnight destinations that inspire staying indoors.

The Campbell House Inn

Eugene

Nestled between a leafy riverfront park and downtown's best boutique shopping, The Campbell House Inn offers luxury accommodations in historic, Victorian-style lodging. Each guest room has a private bath, robes and mini-refrigerator; and the extra-cozy Carriage House suites include gas fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, wet bars and private patios.

Join other guests for a glass of wine in the shared sitting room overlooking lovely manicured gardens. Play cards or read a book in the Inn where a made-to-order breakfast (with freshly baked scones) is served each morning — or stay nestled in your room watching the morning mist drift across the lawns. This romantic bed and breakfast is in a gloriously peaceful bubble at the heart of Eugene.

Valley River Inn

Eugene

This recently renovated riverfront hotel is an attractive retreat in Eugene. While the Valley River Inn is a large hotel, the use of wood and colorful fabrics give the spaces warmth. The gorgeous lobby features a fireplace, creating an inviting room to linger. The restaurant overlooks the Willamette River with large windows and a covered porch. When the rain comes streaming down, hang out here to be comfortable, close to everything and super cozy!

Lily of the Field Bed & Breakfast

Cottage Grove

Tucked between meadows and forest, this valley retreat is the ideal spot to get away from it all. Wrap up in a cozy blanket and curl up by the large windows to watch the wind whip up autumn leaves, rain trickling down the windows or simple farm life around you. Lily of the Field Bed & Breakfast is close to historic covered bridges, miles of scenic cycling paths and the classic gold rush and movie-set town of Cottage Grove. Idle your days browsing the local shops and museums, wine tasting or riding your bike.

McKenzie Orchards Bed & Breakfast Inn

Springfield

While close enough to all the busy action taking place in Eugene - Springfield, McKenzie Orchards Bed & Breakfast Inn feels like a far away retreat into the quiet countryside. You are welcomed into the lovely, large home of Tom and Karen Reid with plenty of space to roam, relax and enjoy alone time or engage in pleasant social time. The Reids also host cooking classes by prior arrangement in their gourmet kitchen, or you can just enjoy the meals provided in the lodging arrangements. Picture windows in the living room overlook the grassy backyard, perfect for a rainy day with a good book. Some of the rooms have gas fireplaces, none have televisions (although there is a media room available), all have private bathrooms, comfortable beds and cozy bedding, so cuddle up in your country room!

Heceta Head Lighthouse Bed & Breakfast

Heceta Lighthouse Bed & Breakfast

Oregon Coast

North of Florence on the edge of the rugged coastline, the Heceta Lighthouse Bed & Breakfast is classically cozy. Formerly the home of the assistant lighthouse keeper, this historic lodging offers individually appointed rooms each with down duvets and unique charms from ocean views to baths with claw foot tubs. Robes are provided and are so comfy. 

Below the bed and breakfast, Cape Creek merges with the ocean on the edge of a wide sandy beach. Above, perched on the cliffs, the 100-year-old lighthouse pierces the dark with its powerful rays. Listen to the crashing waves and roaring wind from your cozy bedroom nook or grab a blanket and a book and cuddle together on the Victorian wrap-around porch.

Join other guests in the parlor by the handcrafted fireplace for the wine and cheese hour (and to share stories of "Rue" the resident ghost), and in the dining room each morning for an amazing seven-course breakfast served family style.

Westfir Lodge and Mountain Market

Westfir - Oakridge

With eight cozy bedrooms in this historic office building from the timber industry era, the Westfir Lodge is an adventurer's destination. At the trailhead for the Alpine Trail – both a hiking and mountain biking favorite – and at the Oakridge side of the scenic Aufderheide drive, this prime location is further crowned by the historic Office Covered Bridge. Holding the title of the "longest covered bridge in Oregon", the bright red Office Bridge is decked with holiday lights in the late fall. Comfortably appointed lodge rooms include bridge and garden views, and offer attached or separate baths.

Relax in the living room by the wood-burning fireplace with a cup of tea and peruse through some of the timber industry artifacts. And speaking of relaxing (or at least stretching out after an intense mountain biking ride) – there is a yoga room!

Cozy in Loloma Lodge by the fireplace.

Loloma Lodge

McKenzie River

On the other side of the Aufderheide in McKenzie Bridge, the historic Loloma Lodge sports a cozy log lodge with a great shared space, a smaller historic log cabin dubbed the "Family Cabin" and four private mid-century cabins on the river's edge. Gather around the large stone fireplace in the main lodge (for main lodge guests only) or stay toasty in your private cabin with its own wood-burning fireplace and radiant heated stone floors. Cabins have floor-to-ceiling windows looking out into the forest and over the McKenzie River.

You'll have access to kitchen facilities and outdoor barbecue, so bring provisions for a leisurely breakfast in your room. Popular for retreats, weddings and larger family or group gatherings, the Loloma Lodge is also an ideal autumn getaway destination for couples. If you're seeking a quiet day of river bank fishing, hiking or napping while the river rushes by, you've just found your little piece of mountain paradise.

Nestled in the woods along the McKenzie River, Loloma Lodge provides breathtaking lodging options. Built in 1932, the Historic Lodge offers beautiful…
