The lodge specializes in weddings, retreats, and just great living. Guided fishing and rafting trips can be arranged, and you're likely to find freshly baked cookies and wine waiting for you upon your return. Breakfast is included, and a local chef specializing in fine dining can be brought in for special dinners on request.

With a quiet, shady courtyard just off the main road leading into the north side of town, this small, reasonably priced 1940s hotel offers suites and rooms with a mix of configurations, from two-bedroom units with kitchens to cozy standard rooms. Although set back from the water on pretty Ecola Creek (just across the street from Les Shirley Park and near the entry road to Ecola State Park) the lodge does have a few rooms with partial ocean views; some units also have gas fireplaces and balconies. All rooms have refrigerators, microwaves, and coffeemakers.

This three-story 1920 redbrick hotel anchors the small town of Condon. The spacious rooms are done with 1920s- and '30s-era antiques alongside contemporary touches like wall-mounted flat-screen TVs, hair dryers, and coffeemakers. The Buckhorn Saloon, open nightly except Sunday and Monday, serves regional wines, craft brews, classic cocktails, and a nice selection of bistro food, from classic bar snacks to burgers made with Painted Hill natural beef. This is a great option for visitors exploring the Clarno (35 miles south) and Painted Hills (60 miles south) sections of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.

Formerly a boardinghouse, this attractively renovated, offbeat hotel occupies a stately two-story 1920s building a few steps from Fort George Brewery and offers a mix of small, European-style rooms with shared baths down the hall and a few spacious suites with a private bath.

This quirky, bargain-priced boutique hotel with simple, stylish, and affordable rooms and a gorgeous roof deck is just steps from Old Town nightlife and Lan Su Chinese Garden, and occupies an 1880s former boardinghouse for sailors.

Situated on a sweeping mesa 6 miles southeast of downtown Pendleton, this contemporary hotel at Wildhorse Resort (operated by the Umatilla tribe) offers plenty of perks even if you're not a gamer, including spacious, modern rooms, a slew of amenities, and a completely smoke-free environment. Rooms are in two different buildings: the stylish 10-story tower building completed in 2011 as part of a $45-million expansion has spacious and attractive rooms. The older courtyard building's rooms are more economical but small and very dated; the building is slated for replacement with a new 200-room tower in the near future. On-site draws include the Tamástslikt Cultural Institute museum, one of the largest casinos in the state, several restaurants and bars, a concert hall, and an acclaimed 18-hole golf course. A $26-million expansion in 2020 added a "Family FunPlex" with a 24-lane bowling alley, food court, arcade, and drop-off child care center. Plan ahead with a reservation for dinner at the fine dining restaurant Plateau, which features several entrees that include Pendleton whisky, including pepper-crusted New York strip steak and pork chops glazed with the whisky. Don't miss the delicious desserts that change by the season but might include cheesecake, creme brulee, chocolate mousse cake, and housemade ice cream.

This old-school motel with a friendly staff offers fantastic views from nearly every room, most of which have enclosed sun porches—the simplest and least expensive accommodations open to an enclosed breezeway that takes in these same vistas.

The split-level suites are great for families or groups, as they have a full bedroom as well as an upstairs loft with a queen bed and two twins.

This simple single-story, family-run motel is set on a sweeping stretch of beachfront midway between downtown Yachats and Waldport.

Modern touches include electric fireplaces and flat-screen TVs with satellite and DVD players. Some have kitchenettes, and all open to covered patios, many of which face the sea. With reasonable rates and comfy rooms, Deane's books up in summer.

Quiet sophistication, attention to architectural detail, and rooms furnished in a refreshingly understated manner, each with a marble-and-tile bath and some with fireplaces, suggest a European inn. The rates include a delicious breakfast. 

In the heart of the lively downtown business district, steps from great restaurants and shops, this handsomely restored 1911 boutique hotel has a grand, Old West facade, behind which are simple but whimsically decorated rooms and a few larger suites that have kitchenettes and large sitting rooms. Within the hotel, there's also a dorm-style hostel, called the Bunkhouse, that's a great find for budget travelers. The trendy restaurant Broder Øst, at street level, serves delicious modern Scandinavian fare.

Shore pines around this 1987 Scandinavian structure give upper-floor patios a tree-house feel, and it's just half a block from the beach. Filled with light-color woods, beams, and glass, all rooms have decks, some have skylights, and three rooms are designed with families in mind (and have sleeper sofas and kitchenettes). In winter, it's a great place for storm watching.

It's hard to beat the low prices or the spirited and welcoming personality of this funky and truly tiny 1950s motel in North Bend whose five rooms have pop culture themes like "That '70s Room" and the "Star Trek: Enterprise Room." For a small fee, the staff will set up an authentically old-school Atari 2600 or a vintage record player in your room, and they also offer free cruiser bikes to use and can arrange mountain-bike tours and other local activities. 

This contemporary, affordable hybrid between a hotel and a hostel fosters an inclusive social vibe through its art-filled common spaces (including a delightful rooftop bar with great Downtown views), and pop-up markets and community events—and as an overnight guest, you can decide between a bed in a well-designed, budget-friendly dormitory space or a private room. Within walking distance of both the Central East Side and the 28th and Burnside retail and dining districts, Lolo Pass has an enviable location. 

Set amid pine forests about midway between Grants Pass and Crescent City and a half hour from Oregon Caves, this bucolic camping resort offers several lodging options, including teepees, small cabins, and one large three-bedroom cabin with private bathrooms that's ideal for families. Although the teepees have beds, guests must bring their own bedding. 

On 13 acres of pastoral countryside, this converted Masonic rest home has accommodations that run from bunk-bed rooms to a three-room fireplace suite, with some nice period antiques in all. The sturdy 1922 brick buildings also include a spa, a hot soaking pool, and pubs and restaurants serving McMenamins own draft beers. You'll often find live music in some of the bars or the theater.

This small, nicely kept, family-owned budget property with a few accommodation options is close to Interstate 5 and within walking distance of the MAX line and the hip dining and shopping of the Mississippi Avenue neighborhood. Most of the one- and two-bedroom kitchen suites have cooking ranges with an oven, refrigerator, and microwave.

This resort offers a little something for everyone: from comfy, clean, economical rooms in the original renovated 1950s hotel to modern two-story condos with expansive ocean views, king-size beds, full kitchens, and outdoor patios. Whatever your choice, expect top-notch service from the professional and friendly staff. Amenities include a shared hot tub, koi pond, and complimentary breakfast at the resort restaurant, the Chowder House. Ocean access is easily reached via a walking path across low dunes and a flood plain frequented by deer. This stretch of coast is especially good for gem hunting on a pebble-strewn beach.

From the outside, this lodge on Main Street is constructed like many others built in eastern Oregon during the timber boom of the late 1920s, using wood from the original mines' construction. Inside, the wood mingles with walls of deep blues and reds, reflecting a clean, homespun beauty. Thirteen assorted rooms of varying decor and size are available in the lodge and the adjacent structures called the Blue Dog and The Yellow House. The standalone Main Shack is Halfway's oldest standing building and has a tree growing out of one side and a separate bunk room for kids. You can "rock out" in high-backed wicker rocking chairs on the porches, or take a swing on the hammock. Rather than an alarm clock, Pine Valley's wake-up call alerts the nose instead of the ears with homemade scones; the innkeepers serve up a hearty full breakfast to fuel guests for the day's outdoor adventures.

If you don't mind shared-bath accommodations, this European-style B&B in the heart of Nob Hill and Alphabet District is a terrific bargain given the great location. The six rooms in this handsome early-20th-century house have queen beds and simple, tasteful furnishings; a few of them have additional single beds that accommodate a third guest for $10 nightly. Help yourself in the morning to complimentary juice, coffee, tea, cereals, and a common microwave, toaster oven, and fridge.

On the beautiful Siuslaw River, this terrific, reasonably priced property is near the quaint shops and restaurants in Florence's Old Town.

The property has been designed with sustainable materials, and amenities include a fitness room with Peloton Bikes. 

An economical but stylish downtown boutique hotel, the Selina (formerly known as the Commodore) is a favorite with young and artsy souls from Portland and Seattle thanks to its vintage-chic aesthetic, large wall murals and photos, and hip Street 14 Café off the lobby. The three-story building opened as a hotel in the 1920s, but sat vacant for 40 years until a 2009 rehab; If you don't mind sharing a bathroom and don't require too much space, book one of the cozy "cabins," which offer communal bathroom facilities. 

Set on the beach at the quieter southern end of town, the large, rambling Tolovana Inn is one of the best values in this tony seaside community, especially considering that most rooms enjoy partial or full views of the Pacific. The least expensive standard rooms are cozy and don't face the beach, but they can be booked in conjunction with an ocean-view studio to create a large suite, while the largest units, most with balconies and fireplaces, have full kitchens and two bedrooms.

Offering cozy, well-outfitted cabins with loft sleeping areas and canvas tents, this verdant glamping and RV resort is set along the picturesque Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway, about 45 minutes east of Roseburg and on the way to Crater Lake.

There's tons to do in the immediate area: hiking, biking, rafting, and more. 

When this clean, family-run, mid-century motel opened in the late 1970s, it served the nearby shipyard; today, this eco-friendly property is one of Portland's best bargain lodgings, catering to savvy visitors who take the nearby MAX to Downtown Portland. Rooms are well maintained, with functional furnishings, refrigerators, and off-street parking; kitchenettes are available in some units. The location may seem remote (it's just off the freeway, 5 miles north of Downtown), but several fun neighborhood bars and restaurants as well as the Rosa Parks MAX station are within walking distance, and the hip Alberta and Mississippi neighborhoods are a short drive or bus ride.

From boardinghouse to bordello to affordable and historic inn, this refurbished 1890s edifice owned and operated by Pendleton Underground Tours advertises its "Old West Comfort" with a large vertical sign hanging from the side of the building. Exposed-brick walls and 18-foot ceilings run throughout, and a generous dose of Victorian antiques recall the building's original time period. Guests have use of a common full kitchen and dining room.
