“In July, the eight-suite Tributary Hotel changed the game when it opened in a more-than-a-century-old former hardware store in downtown McMinnville, with celebrated chef Matthew Lightner—formerly of New York City’s two-Michelin-starred Atera—at the helm of its restaurant, ōkta. Sourced heavily from Lightner’s nearby farm, the micro-seasonal tasting menu might include hazelnut tofu, cedar-smoked caviar, or aged and cured Pacific rockfish, depending on what’s freshest.” Time Magazine, March 16, 2023

Things to Do

We’re just a short 5 mile drive from this indoor water park! Ride a waterslide through a jet! Fun for the whole family, but I recommend eating beforehand as their food options are limited:)

Favorite Hikes

This hike is one of our favorites. Traverse through the Oregon rainforest before you emerge to a viewpoint overlooking the coastline. Keep your eyes open for a local herd of elk.
