Unique Lodging in Oregon

The Eugene Dome

Eugene, Oregon

Set in Oregon's beautiful wine country, not far from Eugene, is a spectacular dome on five rolling and wooded acres. Looking like a flying saucer or a hobbit's home, this round concrete stucco-style structure with multiple "space-age" round windows offers a charmingly decorated, comfortable interior and a truly unique lodging experience. The Eugene Dome has an open floor plan with a curtained-off bedroom space and bathroom. From this unusual dome retreat, hike the private property's many trails through the forest or visit boutique tasting rooms at the nearby wineries.

The Graduate Eugene

Eugene, Oregon

The entire Graduate by Hilton Eugene hotel is a great big love letter to Eugene — staying here is full of fun discoveries. There are many nods to local history, including a giant collection of rare Nikes – acknowledging that Eugene-Springfield is where the first shoe was crafted. Although the hotel is located in downtown Eugene with easy access to great food and fun, you don't have to leave the hotel for entertainment. Just head to their TopGolf Swing Suite to play a variety of sports games, including a wild round of zombie dodgeball. 

The Gordon Hotel

Eugene, Oregon

Dedicated to art, this swanky hotel is in the center of the Market District in downtown Eugene. Play around with paints at the lobby art bar, enjoy interactions with guest artists and admire the many different local artworks throughout the hotel. Each room features unique, original art. On the lobby ceiling, a collection of glass canning jars comprises a chandelier, behind the front desk, a cascade of screens showcases digital streaming video for artistic effect and throughout The Gordon Hotel you will see touching tributes to the hotel owner's artist father, Gordon.

McKenzie Orchards Bed and Breakfast Inn

Springfield, Oregon

Combine cooking classes with a bed and breakfast experience in Tom and Karen Reid's large country home. At McKenzie Orchards Bed and Breakfast Inn, not only are you welcomed into comfortable quarters with plenty of privacy, private baths and well-appointed guest rooms; add on a gourmet cooking class in their spacious, top-of-the-line kitchen! (Minimum of six participants requested.) Then enjoy dinner together with lovely views of Springfield's rural community. This lovely retreat feels like miles away, but it is only 20 minutes from downtown Eugene.

Westfir Lodge & Mountain Market

Westfir, Oregon

Stay in a former lumber company office in Westfir in the Cascade Mountains. Now converted into a comfortable retreat, the Westfir Lodge is a favorite for hikers, mountain bikers and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. 

Directly across from the lodge is the Office Covered Bridge, the longest covered bridge in Oregon, which was built to connect logging operations with the payroll office. On the far side of the bridge is the trailhead for miles of the region's best hiking and riding trails along the North Fork of the Willamette River. This is also the beginning of the scenic Aufderheide Drive, a beautiful road trip during late spring, summer and fall.

Heceta Lighthouse Bed & Breakfast

Florence, Oregon

Imagine yourself as a lighthouse keeper and stay in a charming historic bed and breakfast below the hundred-year-old Heceta Head Lighthouse. The view from the B&B is spectacular, overlooking a sheltered beach, miles of rugged coastline and, of course, the endless Pacific Ocean. Stories of a friendly ghost named Rue add mystery to the stately Victorian home. Each room has unique charm with comfortable appointments (and you can even request Rue's favorite room). 

Make new friends by the fireplace during the wine and cheese social, then relax with a long soak in a claw-foot tub with a view of the lighthouse shining through the rolling fog. Your stay is made even sweeter by a decadent seven-course breakfast prepared with local foods and herbs straight from the garden.

Florentine Waterfront Hotel

Dunes City, Oregon Coast

Not exactly presenting like a "hotel", this lakefront lodging is a collection of rustic rooms and cabins furnished in a funky, whimsical style. Each unique residence has direct access to Siltcoos Lake and many of the rooms or suites offered have stunning lake views or private decks and patios. Choose accommodations that have full kitchens, are pet-friendly and/or have attached living rooms. Artsy murals grace the walls or ceilings. The room designs are bold and fun, and the rooms are kept clean and tidy. There is a lake dock, fire pits and kayak rentals. Staying at the Florentine Waterfront Hotel is a mellow foray off the beaten path.

Siltcoos Station Retreat

Dunes City, Oregon Coast

In the 1920s Siltcoos Station Retreats was the site of a bustling train station (and a dance hall, speakeasy, brothel and bait shop). Today, it has been converted into six modernized lakefront cabins with vintage appointments. Unplug, and enjoy the "slow" travel experience with clawfoot tubs, functional vintage kitchenettes and no televisions. The property is on Florence's largest coastal lake and kayaks are available for guest use. Roast marshmallows in the fire pits, fish, read books or watch wildlife from the porches. Trains still come past the former station at least once a day, and while there aren't weekend party crowds or floating bordello visits anymore, you feel like you are back in time here.

Sweet Springs Family Farm

Cottage Grove, Oregon

Sweet Springs Family Farm is a farm stay that elevates country lodging to a pampered getaway. Book a relaxing massage, savor a tasty dinner at a nearby winery or get cozy at a casual campsite with s'mores, popcorn and an outdoor movie on a big screen. Your stay here can be as grand or as laid back as you like. Spend the day doing yoga, swimming in natural waters or making friends with the farm animals. Farm life has never been so easy!

Tipi Village

Springfield, Oregon

Tipi Village is a secluded forest retreat where guests can sleep, glamping-style, in one of five snug tipis or in a traditional cabin. Recharge your spirit in the resort's serene atmosphere. Quietly immersed in nature, you may observe wildlife, hear birds singing or rest in a perfect spot for meditation. Reflexology and yoga sessions are available, and each morning a gourmet breakfast is served beside the creek. For an extra treat, make arrangements to enjoy the highly recommended Spanish paella feast for dinner. NOTE: Tipi Village is open to large group reservations only.
