Adventure Basecamps in the Pacific Northwest

Bon Temps Suites

Burns, OR

Restored to its bones and rebuilt suite by suite by fourth-generation Oregonians who knew exactly what they were saving. A covered pavilion and the right base for Oregon's high desert country.

Hotel Rio Vista

Winthrop, WA

Every room at this family-owned Winthrop property has a private deck above the confluence of the Methow and Chewuch Rivers, with handcrafted wood furniture, local artist works on the walls, and a riverside hot tub waiting at the end of the day. The Methow Valley trail network and North Cascades access are both within reach.

The Stardust Motel

Wallace, ID

Built in 1962 as a tribute from a man to the woman he loved, the mural rooms and mid-century neon inside that story are still here. Movie nights on the lawn come summer, in-room bike storage when the season calls for it.

Campfire Hotel & Pool Club

Bend, OR

Year-round saltwater pool and fire pits built into the layout, with local beer and a walkable downtown just beyond. The kind of evening that earns a second night.

Cascade Motel

Oakridge, OR

Oakridge has some of the best mountain bike trails in the Northwest, and this veteran-run basecamp is built for the people who ride them, with secure bike storage, a wash station, and spotless rooms a few minutes from the trailheads. It is unpretentious and dialed in, the kind of place where you drop the bike, clean up, and are back on the trail by morning.

Mt. Gardner Inn

Winthrop, WA

A family-owned property half a mile from Winthrop's downtown, at the doorstep of the Methow Valley trail network, with clean rooms and fair rates that make multi-day stays in Washington's best cross-country ski destination genuinely practical. Owner-operators with more than a decade of top TripAdvisor rankings in Winthrop keep the standards honest.

Ocean Suites Motel

Brookings, OR

Every suite has a full kitchen, built from an overgrown lot in 1997 and now run by the second generation of the family that built it. Everything needed for a longer stay without any of the noise.

Pacific Inn Motel

Forks, WA

Family-operated by people born and raised on the Olympic Peninsula, with a fire pit, guest laundry, and a restaurant next door. A reliable base for serious outdoor time.

Silver Sands Motel

Westport, WA

Fully renovated in 2022 under new ownership, with a fire pit and an outdoor shell wash station at the coast. Good access to serious surf and coastal wildlife.
