Well… being that there was a heat wave in Portland, Nick and I weren’t the only ones heading west to the cooler coast. It turned into an entire days worth of driving, and time ran out for a stop Portland. That being said, the stretch of scenery we were able to enjoy was completely worth it, only wish there would have been more time to actually get out and explore as opposed to painfully slow driving. Soon enough we shall hit up our other Oregon wish lists locations!
Leaving from southern Oregon, there were multiple paths considered for our drive up to Seattle. Head east to Crater Lake and head up through Bend, visit Hood National Forest, go directly to Portland, or drive a portion of the coast which we skipped on our road trip last year (had left the coast in northern Cali). I was pitching the coastal drive with a stop in Portland for dinner to Nick. I thought it would be best to spend the time and make a whole trip out of Crater Lake, Bend and the Hood area. Plus we would be seeing plenty of lakes in the mountains on this particular trip, but no ocean.

This little cabin in the woods was a steal, especially considering we had no idea where we’d be staying the night between LA and Seattle at the start of our summer 2016 road trip. Our hope was to stay in as many unique yet cost effective places as possible on our way up to Canada and back down to Phoenix. So when we began to fatigue in northern Cali we went straight to AirBnB hoping to find a spot in southern Oregon (we had already booked some places through AirBnB further along on the trip). As fate would have it, this adorable little cabin was available so we booked instantly.
Our favorite thing about the stay was the solitude and the peaceful river flowing adjacent to the property. Talent is a small town, and we had to drive an extra 10 minutes to get to the location. We enjoyed having dinner outside on the table overlooking the river and left our windows open at night to hear the water flowing. In the morning we did a little exploring down by the river. Our host was actually right next door in the main house but we didn’t see her until we went to thank her in the morning. I would highly recommend this stay for anyone who is spending time in southern Oregon or road tripping like we were! |
