Recently covered @lightwellhotel for @1859oregon, the new (and very stylish) addition to downtown Hood River.

An ideal location for any Gorge adventure, it’s the perfect retreat for peak wildflower hikes along the Mosier Plateau Trail, especially if you want to capture the flowers at golden hour. 🌼

Other highlights, the hotel’s Adventure Lounge by @firstnaturetours, dedicated to helping guests design seasonal excursions that showcase the beautiful Columbia River Gorge.

Choose from waterfall hikes, evergreen cycling routes, paddling the Columbia or rafting its rapids with top-tier guides.

Not pictured, the fabulous rooftop bar and subterranean spa and soaking pools, also ideal for post-hike relaxation.

For food and wine lovers, don’t miss @analemmawines in Mosier. 🍇

Seeking cozy sleeps with vineyard views?

A recent @traveloregon story I wrote covers the state’s top vineyard and winery stays, from secluded vineyard cottages to refined countryside estates. 🍇

For quiet luxury and wellness, look to the North Willamette Valley. In the Central and South Willamette, you’ll find cool airstreams and upscale lodging with a chef’s kitchen.

In Southern Oregon—stay surrounded by vine-covered hillsides in farmhouses, bungalows and historic homes.

Click the link in bio to read about where to take a deeply calming getaway at the state’s coziest wine-country retreats.

In addition to cozy vineyard cottages, the Willamette Valley is home to idyllic wine country farm stays.

One spot that has it all is @abbeyroadfarm, where you sleep in stylish grain silos and can mingle with photogenic farm animals including highland cows, mini donkeys, goats, pigs and a flock of chickens—all named Betty.

The robust culinary gardens feed both the bed-and-breakfast and @82acrespdx, their sister restaurant in Portland. Here’s some spring moments from a stay at the 82-acre farm and vineyard.

Went to @palswithus for the legendary kettle-crusted trout sandwich and got distracted by the largest, most enchanting maze of riverbank lupine and the movie set marina.

This nostalgic spot set on the banks of the Columbia River is prime for summer nights—but I’d head there now to catch this wondrous swath of purple blooms!

Forever enchanted by Oregon’s coastline, 363 glorious miles of public beaches with striking sea stacks, sandy stretches and wispy dune grass. 🌊

POV: You’re on a dory boat and the surf is strong.
🌊🦀🎣

Pacific City’s legendary dory boats have been launching straight through the surf since the early 1900s, keeping alive one of the last beach-launch fishing traditions in the world.

Built tough for the Oregon coast, these iconic boats haul in fresh Dungeness crab and big catches while riding massive waves.

For adventurous travelers, it’s dory season again. You can join a dory charter (this one was with Captain Joe @haystackfishing) or buy fresh, dory-caught fish or crab from seafood markets along the coast. 🐟🐟🐟
