Absolutely amazing family vacation. Some of the best views and company ever. JP, Matt, Artesia and Camilla were the best. The food was amazing and Artesia got us the best camp sites. Can’t recommend them enough for the 4 day Rogue trip!!

We did another Row trip on the Middle Fork of the Salmon river and loved every minute of it so this time we did the 4 day/3 night lodge to lodge trip on the Rogue River and LOVED it. As a matter of fact I think Row should make it a 5 day/4 night so I could spend two days at the last heavenly lodge!! The guides (Ryan,Tom,Keith,Anna and Kayla) were all fantastic. They make sure you feel safe and happy all the time. Every element of the trip is carefully tended to and the joy they give is real. Food is delicious and it is fun to stay in lodges especially because it poured rain on us the first day. After that it was gorgeous weather and we had inflatable kayaks on days 2 and 4. I had never kayaked before but decided to give it a go! What a great time that was. The guides are engaging and so much fun to be with. Row really understands hospitality. Lucky us!! Thinking the Sea of Cortez trip next time.

Amazing trip. Everything about it...hike, food, lodging, scenery. Our guides Adam and Dustin took great care of us!!! Lots of great memories to take with me.

The Wimer Covered Bridge crosses Evans Creek in Wimer, Oregon. The original 85 foot bridge was constructed in 1892, rebuilt in 1927, and rebuilt again in 2008 following the Queenspost trust design of the original. The historic bridge collapsed on July 6th, 2003, a year before it was schedueled for maintainace.

Our first visit was a delight. Warm, engaging, friendly staff, good wine flights and delicious wood-fired pizza. Sue was like an old friend, welcoming and helpful. We ended up joining the wine club, too!

Devin and his family have a great business here, our shuttle driver was very nice and informative about where to go to swim and chill. Highly recommend Rapid Pleasure Rafting!

Stopped here for a little food and rest on my way south. Played at the tables a little. Dealer was very friendly and pleasant. Had the signature dish at the Stix restaurant; fish and chips. I was pleasantly surprised; fries and fish were cooked perfectly. The slaw that cane with it was better than expected and the bartenders were super nice and friendly. Stayed at the dry parking area for RVs and campers and had a great nights sleep.

A hidden gem of a vineyard. EVERY wine is delicious, it’s small production, and they have stories to tell. There’s a reason I’m a member here…and I don’t live in Oregon. Extra kudos to Carly for giving me a personalized wine tasting today. Such a lovely place. 💚🍷

My boyfriend and I randomly stumbled across this winery on our way back to our hotel from the Wildlife Safari. We have very limited experience with wine tastings, and we showed up admittedly a bit closer to their closing time than I would have normally liked, but we were looking for a new experience. We unfortunately did not catch our server's name, but he was excellent. He made us feel welcome despite arriving closer to their closing time. His timing was impeccable, and our wine and food were delicious. He said he had been working there for about 5 years, and his knowledge for their wines was very apparent. If we ever visit the area again, we will definitely be back and will arrive earlier! 😅

I was really impressed by this experience. There was an area that included a petting zoo that was free upon paying for the drive-through safari. It was very nice to walk around and enjoy. The drive-through was so much fun. It was a hot day, so a lot of the animals were resting in the shade close to their food. We got to see the bears being fed and a rhino taking a refreshing swim.

Hillcrest has a very large variety of excellent wines. We are so happy we came here for tasting, left with several bottles of wines we haven't tasted anywhere else. The sweet young lady in the tasting room, I'm so sorry I don't remember her name, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made our experience so much fun. We will definitely be back!

I’ve been drinking Reustle’s wines for years but had never visited the winery. It’s a beautiful tasting room that feels like a European wine cave. I love their Gruner Veltliner but their other wines are great too, and I like that they experiment with different winemaking techniques and different types of oak. The little food pairings with the flight were a special touch as well. Gloria and her son were working the day I visited and they’re both delightful. The road up the hill is like driving over Swiss cheese so be careful!

This was my first wine tasting. How wonderful I believe I could do this for the rest of my life. What a wonderful place. The environment and the town is a must see and experience. I left with a Pino Grigio…. My taste buds are still tingling….

Colin was really great! The Tastings are so reasonably priced! We were headed to Brookings and it was a perfect little stop in between! We bought a few bottles for our beach house. Beautiful hummingbirds greeted us while we were there! I think it’s a really cute stop along the river. Most importantly it was open on a Monday! Great way to kick off a trip. Go see them and taste some of their locally grown Oregon wine.

15/10 absolutely CRAZY that there was no one here this food was GAS the burrito was HUGE so so so good plz come here and eat this food and keep this restaurant in business

Go check it out! 5 stars! If you like Cottage Grove it's definitely worth the visit!! Such a cool place, and shares a space with the Gold Mining Museum for double fun! Just wish it was open more often.

Large winery estate located in the outskirts of Eugene. Property is stunningly beautiful, around 1000 acres. Very hospitable staff, and we loved all the wines we tried. Given the property, one may expect an air of pretention, but all the employees were incredibly kind and welcoming. Our server was nice enough to provide us with a reinforced case box for the other wine we'd purchased so that we'd be able to bring the wine home on our flight. Nice variety of whites and reds, and they also source grapes from Washington and Southern OR. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area; you won't be disappointed.

Best BBQ in the Eugene area. Worth a pilgrimage! Brisket is perfect, slow cooked with bark and tender color. Great bartenders and a fun place to hear live music. Of course, fun to be in there and imagine Belushi and the Animal House crew dancing to Otis Day and the Knights!

Beautiful lake with plenty of parking and easy access for kayaking. The lake was very calm and only a few other boats creating some small waves. Such a pleasant day, definitely want to go back soon!

Beautiful place to go! The birds are absolutely gorgeous. Little bit of a walk, though. Lots of information on each animal. Cute gift shop at the end. The staff was very friendly and helpful to answer any questions.

The Oregon Country Fair is a one-of-a-kind, transformative experience that captures the heart of creativity, community, and culture. Nestled in a lush forest setting in Veneta, Oregon, this annual three-day event feels like stepping into another world-one brimming with art, music, delicious food, and vibrant energy. Atmosphere and Setting The fairgrounds are a masterpiece of design. Winding pathways shaded by trees lead you to handcrafted booths, whimsical art installations, and cozy nooks filled with unexpected surprises. The setting feels organic and alive, almost as if the fair has grown out of the forest itself. Every inch of the space has been thoughtfully curated, from the fairy lights dangling above to the colorful banners fluttering in the breeze. It's not just a fair-it's a living, breathing work of art. Incredible Entertainment Entertainment is woven into every moment at the Oregon Country Fair. Stages tucked into clearings host a diverse range of performances, from folk bands and world-class musicians to acrobats, puppeteers, and spoken word artists. You don't need a schedule to enjoy the magic-there's always something happening. Street performers, stilt walkers, and jugglers appear as if by magic, infusing every corner with surprise and delight. One of the highlights is the fair's focus on inclusion and expression. Whether you're watching a mesmerizing belly dancer, listening to soulful bluegrass, or laughing at an improv comedy troupe, there's a sense that all forms of art are welcome and celebrated. A Culinary Wonderland The food at the Oregon Country Fair is reason enough to attend. With dozens of booths serving fresh, local, and often organic cuisine, every meal feels special. Whether it's the famous spicy tempeh wraps, fresh fruit smoothies, or handcrafted pies, the offerings are unique and delicious. Food vendors take pride in their creations, and the diversity of options-from vegan to international dishes-ensures there's something for everyone. Artisan Craftsmanship The fair is a paradise for anyone who appreciates handcrafted goods. Booths showcase everything from hand-blown glass and intricate jewelry to natural body products and hand-dyed fabrics. Artisans are often present at their booths, happy to share the stories behind their work. Buying from these talented makers feels meaningful, as you're supporting local creativity and craftsmanship. A Sense of Community What sets the Oregon Country Fair apart is the deep sense of community and shared values. It's a place where creativity and individuality are celebrated, and kindness is the unspoken currency. Everyone-from the families with kids to costumed fairgoers and lifelong attendees-feels part of something bigger. People smile at strangers, engage in meaningful conversations, and respect the fair's commitment to sustainability and inclusiveness. Sustainability and Awareness The fair also shines in its environmental consciousness. Recycling and composting stations are everywhere, and there's a strong emphasis on leaving the grounds as beautiful as they were found. Many booths and performances promote social and environmental awareness, adding a thoughtful layer to the fair's whimsical nature. Final Thoughts The Oregon Country Fair is more than just an event; it's an experience that stays with you long after you leave. It's a place where art meets nature, where music meets magic, and where people meet as equals to celebrate life. Whether you're dancing in a meadow, savoring local cuisine, or admiring handmade art, the fair reminds you of the beauty of connection, creativity, and community. For anyone seeking a joyful escape and a celebration of humanity's creative spirit, the Oregon Country Fair is truly unmissable. It's not just a fair-it's an invitation to step into a more colorful, playful, and compassionate world.

Very beautiful facility. It was a pleasure to have gone to a track and field meet there. There were concessions for the Nike Outdoor National event. I don't know if they have it for every event there, but if they do it is awesome. Parking is scarce. Many places around the facility where you can easily get a parking ticket. There is paid parking, but again, it is limited.

Beautiful campus. Love all the greens and flowers, the cherry blossoms, 🌸 Sakura are blooming outside of the library, so beautiful! Big open area with lots of interesting buildings and elegant architectures. Walking here I definitely a pleasure.

Just moved to the area from Phoenix and wanted to see something local and I definitely was not disappointed! First off finding parking did take a minute and it was $1.35 for an hour. However an hour was perfect timing to eat and see all the booths. All the food trucks are in one central area that made it convenient and there was a huge variety of food. I ended up getting a chocolate strawberry crepe and black cold brew and it was 5/5. The layout is a nice walk. If you were at an intersection there are booths on all 4 corners of the street. There's a huge blend of art, local crafts, fruits and veggies, flowers, honey, meat, ect. I will definitely be back.

We visited for the first time on a night they had live music and it was so fun! The woman who helped us was very friendly. She took the time to tell us about the wine and let us try different ones before ordering a bottle. Friendly service and great wine!

Wonderful facility. Very professional staff. The beverage servers were quick and efficient. My only suggestion is to increase the cool air flow in the lobby areas, especially the balcony areas.

I LOVE this rose garden I try to go as much as possible. It smells like if you are standing and walking inside of a perfume bottle with many different rose blends and other flower notes to give the roses more depth also the smell of the flowers is perfect and not overwhelming. This is 100% worth seeing and checking out if you are making a trip to Eugene Oregon. Owen's rose garden is perfect for photos and getting your photo taken for grad students and weddings or any other event you need photos. I saw grad students taking photos, photographers of many kinds taking photos of the flowers, people walking there dogs, and many other lovely groups of people enjoying the roses with everyone. Very uplifting and positive to bring your mood up. I really want to keep coming back to this place as much as possible.
