For those looking to explore all that Oregon has to offer, Steamboat Inn is the perfect retreat just an hour and a half north of Crater Lake and approximately 2 hours from Bend, Eugene, and Medford. This quiet, secluded retreat is located on a bluff overlooking the North Umpqua River and offers beautiful accommodations, fine dining, a great selection of local wines, exquisite gardens, tackle, and a gift shop. The new owners, Travis and Melinda, are keeping with tradition and maintaining the heart of Steamboat Inn while also bringing their expertise to the table. Avid fly fisherman, Travis, would be happy to provide assistance for those looking to get out on the river, and Melinda's background is in food and beverage with an emphasis on weddings and events.
Their fine dining restaurant is open 7 days a week, Mother's Day weekend through Halloween, and limited hours in the off-season. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner and the ever-changing dinner menu showcases flavors of the Northwest and locally sourced ingredients. Keeping with their 20-year-old tradition, Steamboat Inn also hosts their guest chef series in the fall featuring the best chefs, winemakers, and breweries of the Northwest to create special nights of food and drink pairings.
Relax with a glass of wine on the front porch of your cabin and watch the river flow by, enjoy a good book or board game in the beautiful library or hone your fly fishing skills on the river. No matter what you're looking to do, Steamboat Inn offers something for everyone but definitely for those who love the serenity of the outdoors.
