Another AskOR response!

Here's a recent "AskOR" response to this question:

"We are planning a mini-reunion, 6-8 women, this Sept.-Oct. Where might we stay for 2-4 days; what to do? One of our group lives in Bend; another in the Portland area. The rest of us are scattered across the U.S. Thanks."



I am the Travel Oregon AskOR Willamette Valley Ambassador and I love your question!  I happen to run a B & B so I am going to focus on that right here in the valley.  

We have had many mini-reunions at our inn and they are truly fun for everyone!  At a B & B, you can let your hair down so to speak.  They are relaxing and there's something about sitting in your jammies at the breakfast table chatting and enjoying a delicious homemade meal you didn't have to prepare that is so fun!

I am an inn inspector for our B & B organization and so I get to see a lot of inns.  I only refer people to the inns that I have personally inspected and would actually stay at myself.  So, here's a list in the Willamette Valley (which is an awesome place for everyone coming to Oregon by the way), of inns that I have inspected that would be able to provide you with enough rooms and space for your group of women.  I have also included their links as well:

The Oregon Bed & Breakfast Guild:  www.obbg.org (the main website for all of Oregon's inspected inns)

LePuy Inn:  http://lepuy-inn.com/

Black Walnut Inn:  http://www.blackwalnut-inn.com/

Lobenhaus B & B:  http://lobenhaus.com/

Harrison House B & B:  http://www.corvallis-lodging.com/

This should get you started and if I have helped and you'd like a longer list, please let me know!  I have also inspected inns in the Eugene area, Cottage Grove and in Southern Oregon in Ashland and Jacksonville.

Now... I'd like more detail about the women as far as recommending "what to do?"  Do they like hiking, shopping, walking, reading, knitting or quilt shops, tea houses, museums, kayaking, wine tasting, brewery tours, running........  I am happy to help with the details once you can provide me with more info!

Thanks again for your question and I look forward to hearing from you again!
