Three properties in the Eugene, Cascades and Coast region of Oregon are attracting travelers interested in retreats at once luxurious and rustic.
Just outside of Eugene, the Tipi Village Retreat beckons visitiors with its secluded woodland setting and unusual mix of dwellings. Clients seeking a unique lodging experience can stay in the six luxury tipis with stone floors, rugs and plush beds. A country cabin and cottage invite a more traditional sleeping experience, while still offering peaceful solitude in the middle of old-growth trees. Guests wake up to a wholesome breakfast of local, organic goods served on the patio or by the creek
