Stay at Kah-Nee-Ta Resort & Spa in Warm Springs, OR

Tue, 07 May 2013 07:01:32 +0000

Family-Friendly Resort with Pools Fed by Natural Hot Springs

Natural hot springs dot the land around what is today Kah-Nee-Ta Resort & Spa; the mineral-rich pools were once used by Native American spiritual leaders to create healing remedies. Today, the land is a reservation for the Wasco, Paiute, and Warm Springs tribes, and they invite guests to come stay amid this relaxing atmosphere. The spring water—which reaches 92 degrees even in winter—now feeds into an outdoor Olympic-size pool framed by 140-foot-long water slides.

While the atmosphere is very relaxed, there’s no shortage of things for families to do. Kids can keep busy with outdoor activities such as mini golf and basketball, and parents may favor a trip to the hot-springs-centric spa.

The tribes invite guests to celebrate their traditions, too; they host summer salmon bakes and dance demonstrations, and you can stay in tepee-style accommodations. But the resort is mostly made up of traditional, modern rooms with one or two king or queen beds. Decorated in earth tones that mirror the high-desert environment, each room looks out onto the surrounding valleys and Cascade Mountains.

Warm Springs, Oregon: Reservation on the Sunny Side of the Cascades

Located less than two hours east of Portland is the reservation of the Warm Springs, Wasco, and Paiute Native American tribes. It’s situated amid high-desert lands thick with forests and interspersed with alpine lakes and deep canyons. The natural barrier of the Cascade Mountains to the west helps hold bad weather at bay; there are typically many sunny days here, so you can easily hike, bike, or raft on the whitewater rivers.

No-shows will be charged total Groupon rate; no refunds, rescheduling, or rebooking allowed. Read the Fine Print for important info on travel dates and other restrictions.

One-Night Stay for Two with $20 Hotel Credit at The Inn at Face Rock in Coastal Oregon

Tue, 07 May 2013 07:01:15 +0000

Coastal Hotel with Fresh-Seafood Restaurant Overlooking Pacific Ocean

Despite its remote location along the Pacific coastline, the city of Bandon, Oregon, has built a reputation for great food. Budget Travel named it one of the Coolest Small Towns in America, labeling Bandon a haven for farm-to-table restaurateurs drawn to the area due to its local produce. At The Inn at Face Rock, a Best Western hotel, you won’t have to look far for a great meal. The onsite Bandon Bill’s Seafood Grill serves fresh fish and barbecue, often slow-cooked in a smoker.

With this Getaway to The Inn at Face Rock, you’ll receive a $20 hotel credit that you can apply toward a meal at Bandon Bill's Seafood Grill. The restaurant’s signature dish is a fish fillet that’s charbroiled with mesquite on an ale-soaked cedar plank and served atop of a bed of asparagus-mushroom risotto. Breakfast is served each morning at Bandon Bill's, too. From 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., you can dig into a hot breakfast buffet of scrambled eggs, pastries, muffins, sausages, make-your-own waffles, cereal, and biscuits. The hotel credit can also be applied toward onsite dining at Tony's Fireside Pizza.

The area contains several attractions waiting to be explored. The Inn at Face Rock has access to secluded beaches across Beach Loop Drive, where you can walk along the Pacific coastline and spot the large, misshapen boulder known as Face Rock. The craggy rock resembles the profile of a woman who has just surfaced from beneath the sea.

Bandon, Oregon: Windswept Beach Town with Renowned Golf

Bandon is located on Oregon’s Pacific coast and surrounded by forested hills. On a stroll along its unspoiled beachfront, you can find agate, petrified wood, jasper, and tide pools. Just a 10-minute drive from the hotel is downtown Bandon, whose charming Old Town area features quaint shops and boutiques brimming with various homemade goods and artisanal wares.

The windswept Bandon Dunes is a must-visit for golfers, when the weather is warm enough to play. It’s made up of four award-winning courses, each of which sits 100 feet above the Pacific Ocean. The grassy dunes sprawl over Oregon's rugged coastal terrain, which recalls Scotland’s links-style courses.

Two-Night Stay with Optional Waterfall Tour, Biking, or Scrapbooking at McKenzie River Mountain Resort in Central, OR

Sat, 04 May 2013 07:01:51 +0000

Rustic Cabins amid Willamette National Forest

Oregon’s Willamette National Forest stretches across 110 miles along the western slopes of the Cascade Mountains, encompassing more than a million acres of cedar and fir trees, alpine streams, and waterfalls. The town of Blue River lies on the western outskirts of the forest, just 40 miles east of Eugene. Here, on 6 rustic acres, is McKenzie River Mountain Resort—an ideal base from which to explore Oregon.

The homey waterside cabins are equipped with full kitchens, overstuffed sofas, and deep soaking tubs. Head to the game room for ping-pong and air hockey, or venture outside to play horseshoes or volleyball. For quality fishing, the Blue River—so named because the rocks in the riverbed seem to tint the water—is the place to go to catch rainbow trout and steelhead salmon.

The waterfall-tour option allows guests to go on a self-guided excursion to three area waterfalls. The mountain-biking package includes bike rentals and scheduled shuttle service that will ferry you to two bike trails. One, the McKenzie River Trail, offers views of waterfalls and pristine lakes amid an 300-year-old growth forest. The trail also includes handmade log bridges, streams, and a lava flow. With the scrapbooking option, guests can hunker down in the conference room with snacks and crafts to make their own scrapbooks.

Blue River, Oregon: Forested Mountain Town near Skiing and Hot Springs

Just 40 miles east of Eugene, the small town of Blue River lies in the western range of the Cascade Mountains near the border of Willamette National Forest. The surrounding McKenzie River Valley is a haven for lovers of the outdoors. Come winter, the Hoodoo ski area in nearby Sisters is a hive of activity, with 32 ski and snowboard runs and a tubing park. You can go for an après-ski soak at Terwilliger Hot Springs, where clothing is optional. When the weather warms up, popular pursuits include whitewater rafting, horseback riding, fishing, and golfing at the Tokatee Golf Club, which boasts views of the Three Sisters Mountains from the greens.
