Sisters, Oregon
FIVEPINE lodge, an oregon retreat
This lodge is in Sisters, Oregon. Though the original log building was destroyed in a fire in 1964, this newer "largest log cabin" was built using the same scale as the original building. Part of the lodge was built on family member Elda Teresa Willits property, and she called the lodge "a bridge between two worlds." Her wish was that the guests would cross the bridge and leave their old thinking behind. The three words that guided her life were love, acceptance, and forgiveness. This lodge also has a Shibui spa, an oasis for wellness and relaxation.

A friend of mine who lives in Portland, Oregon told me about these hot springs. This hot springs retreat is about one hour and 40 minutes from the FIVEPINES lodge in Sisters, Oregon. This retreat includes three meals a day. One thing to keep in mind in the fall and winter is that some roads are closed during this time.

Guests of all ages at this B & B are encouraged if they want to pick vegetables or berries, collect eggs, or hang out with the farm animals (holstein cows, chickens, peking ducks).
During Thanksgiving, there is a giant festival in the Williamette Valley with 150 wineries with games, food, music and wine. There is a three-day barbeque at Erath Winery (November 25-27, $15., erath.com.) The ribs are supposed to go fabulously with pinot! There is a wine trolley in Carlton (the-trolley.com) for a hop-on, hop off tour of more than two dozen wineries. The winemaker, Mark Vlossak, winemaker at St. Innocent Winery (Nov. 25-27, wine $12. food free, stinnocentwine.com), cooks his special cassoulet to feed around 600 people!
