Hanson Country Inn

The Willamette Valley & Wine Country


This wonderful Dutch-colonial farmhouse – set on 6 acres in the countryside, just minutes from downtown – once hosted travel writer Bill Bryson. The four rooms are comfortable and spacious, and two boast private decks; a two-bedroom cottage is also available. There are cats and a dog on the premises.
