Places to stay before or after a Rogue River Rafting Trip.

Finding a great place to stay before and after a Rogue River rafting or hiking trip is crucial to ensuring that you have a great overall experience in Southern Oregon. With so many great hotels, inn's, and B&B's in this area of the state the perfect lodging experience for everyone is out there, you simply need to find it. .  I have highlighted a few of our favorites in each category to help you find exactly the experience you're looking for before or after a Rogue River adventure.

Grants Pass Area (including Merlin):  This is the closest place, so if you're not an early riser or just want to leave minimal travel from us to your lodging you will want to check out one of these places.

Redwood Motel -  888-535-8824

Located on the Main Drag of Grants Pass this is where economy meets quality in the Grants Pass area.  With room rates in the Summer from $70 to $395 they have something for everyone.  Enjoy a swim in the pool, soak in the hot tub, and grab breakfast from the breakfast bar on your way to the river. 









Weasku Inn  800.493.2758

If want something to add a little more than "just a place to stay" the Weasku located on over 10 acres, amid towering pines and ponds, 5 miles outside Grants Pass might be your place.  I warn you, if you make your reservation here, leaving will probably be your biggest challenge of the trip. 
The Weasku Inn sits right on the banks of the famous Rogue River.  Built in 1924 as a fishing lodge the Weasku offers guests a peak at life in an earlier era of the Pacific Northwest. As a vacation retreat to such legendary personalities as Clark Gable, Carol Lombard, Bing Crosby and Walt Disney, the walls of the lodge seem to still whisper age-old fishing tales from visitors past.   Rooms range from $199 for a luxurious lodge room to $329 for a jacuzzi suite.


Flery Manor (541) 476-3591 

Flery Manor is an award winning Bed and Breakfast just around the corner from Orange Torpedo Trips home base.  This is a great place to head after your trip is over and rest from your days on the Rogue River in one of their 5 elegant and unique rooms.  Stays here include opportunities to roam the garden, relax by the koi pond or enjoy a glass of wine in the library.  Most importantly, a stay here ends with the famous three course gourmet breakfast served on fine china and heirloom linens.






Jacksonville:
Historic Jacksonville is 30 minutes from our shop in Merlin.  Somewhat between us and the Medford Airport.  A walk down main street of this historic little town is like stepping back in time to the early mining days in Oregon history.  Roam for used books, see a show at Brit Festival outdoor amphitheater, or grab dinner at one of the many excellent restaurants. 

Bybee Historic Inn  (541) 899-0106

These are our favorite folks from Jacksonville.  A National Registered Historic 1857 Classic Revival Victorian home, the historic inn is situated on over 3½ acres of beatifully maintained grounds ready for you to roam and enjoy.  What a great place to pamper yourself after a rafting trip on the Rogue River.  Relax in one of the guest rooms decorated with antiques, fabric walls, fireplaces and Jacuzzi tubs. Head out to one of the three porches or two patios offering majestic mountain views, city lights, bird watching or glimpses of a red fox, wild turkey, deer or elk.  All this before roaming to one of Jacksonville's famous restaurants for dinner.  Stays here end with a three-course breakfast sure to change your understanding of what breakfast should be.


This is just a few of the great Southern Oregon lodging options with many more unique and luxurious spots to be found in Medford, Ashland, Jacksonville, and Grants Pass.
