Who knew that Oregon was such a haven for hot springs?

Central Oregon is a stunning place to visit. It's off the beaten path from the bustling urban atmosphere of Portland (~3.5 hours away) and it's the perfect destination if you're into brews and views. Oregon's landscape is truly unmatched and it holds a special place in my heart after living in the state for 5 years. Unlike the moderate climate of the west coast, central Oregon is well known for its winter and spectacular skiing. But, I recommend visiting Bend in the warmer months from May - September to experience the sunny mountain town vibes, enjoying the endless patio dining options, hitting the trail, floating the river, or biking through the high desert scenery. In this guide I've outlined some fun activities, recommendations for lodging, as well as the top spots for breakfast, great bites, and top notch breweries.

Itinerary ideas for you to explore. In most cases, I would suggest a minimum of 2 nights at each location, so depending on your timeline you may want to eliminate a few destinations.

Growing up in Oregon gave me access to a myriad of adventure activities, and one of my most beloved traditions was driving the scenic, affectionately-named "fruit loop". Stopping at various stands along the road to savor the taste of fresh fruit, pick flowers, sip on juices, and interact with friendly goats made a summer or fall day feel like a scene straight out of a movie. After exploring the loop, you can choose to continue your journey to Mount Hood or head back up the Columbia Gorge towards Portland. This guide is the result my love of planning, research, and exploring the region on multiple trips. It lays out instructions to help you plan your perfect trip to this area (including tasting rooms, photo spots, farms, orchards and u-pick flowers!), accommodation suggestions, direct links to every resource you could need, behind the scenes exclusive photos and videos from me, and so much more! I can guarantee a few things with the guide you are purchasing: -All opinions are my own unless explicitly a recommendation from another source. I am never compensated for my words or stay (I tend to prioritize budget options for this reason) -This is a living document that will be updated as I find more gems on the fruit loop This guide boasts an array of exciting features, such as an interactive map, precise directions that can be directly linked to your Google or Apple Maps app, and the exact coordinates to some of the most cutest hidden gems and tasting rooms that I have discovered. To make things even more convenient, the guide is mobile-friendly when you download the free Thatch App, allowing you to access all of the information right from your phone with ease. I would really appreciate your feedback! Please don't hesitate to send me a direct message. And if you'd like to showcase the beautiful photos you will inevitably take, feel free to tag me in them!

I created this guide for the Airbnb "Hillside Getaway" (link below) with food and outdoor enthusiasts in mind and those wanting to experience the cultural side of Portland. Although my childhood hometown has changed a lot over the years, Portland is still the vibrant, artsy, cultured city I've always known. The "Rose City" has so much to offer—a great food and music scene, the outdoors, and an independent spirit—surrounded by forests and set between two rivers, the peaks of the Cascades, and the Pacific Ocean. This environmentally conscious city has a good rail system with miles of bike paths and walking trails. Virtual explorers and trip planners alike, explore Portland with this interactive guide. Check out what to SEE + DO, places to DRIVE + RIDE, and where to EAT + DRINK around this river city in the northwestern corner of Oregon. This list is far from exhausted and will continue to expand.

If you enjoy hiking along a rugged coastline or in the shadow of a volcano formed thousands of year ago, Oregon is the place for you. If you enjoy finding majestic hot springs along the side of the road or crystal clear lakes buried deep within national forests, Oregon is worth a visit. Or if you are interested in checking Crater Lake National Park off your list, you must come to Oregon! As a born and raised southerner visiting Oregon three years ago for the first time, I was absolutely enthralled by the diverse landscapes from the Columbia River Gorge to the sand dunes along the coast. I was so charmed by Oregon a few years ago that I went home, packed my bags and moved cross country by myself so that I didn't have to stop exploring all that it has to offer. Here is my guide of the best things to see on your next Oregon adventure!

We called this vibrant college town home for a decade and still visit every year because we love it so much! From fantastic restaurants and craft breweries to hiking, live music, and farmer's markets this city has much to offer.

Portland -> Canon Beach -> down the coast to NoCal Redwoods -> Grants Pass -> Eugene -> Portland!! My husband and I just returned from an epically exhausting 5-Day Coastal Oregon Road Trip and I would not have changed a thing!! We covered 16 hours of driving in that time, so it was definitely a "see as much as possible" kind of trip. While you could easily spend an entire weekend at every spot we stayed, we enjoy this type of travel in order to cross off as many travel bucket list goals as we can manage around our 9-5s By the time dinner came around we were so exhausted from the day's travels that all we could think of was hitting the pillow, meaning some of my foodie finds went un tested but I will include the places I had vetted and didn't make it to as well. One thing is for sure: locals on Reddit have never let me down on their food recs :D
