Imagine yourself as a traveler along a section of the Applegate Trail in the late 1800’s. You have just arrived by stage coach at the Wolf Creek Inn. This is a long-sought-after refuge from a not-so-comfortable journey over mountains and across valleys. After paying 75 cents for a room, bath, and meals, you’re ready to relax. You sit down to a good meal and some easy conversation with the innkeepers or other guests. Afterwards, the men sidle off to the tap room for some quaffs of beer while the ladies adjourn to the parlor. The conversation drifts from tales of inspirational beauty to frightful experiences of the trail.

September 29, 2026MojoLadHistoric and pleasant
We were intrigued by the claim that this is "Oregon's oldest inn" and so booked a night on our way back to California from Crater Lake. We were surprised by many aspects of the place -- the park-like surroundings, the sense of history in the walls and floors, the reasonable cost of a night's stay, and that the place seemed to be fully booked on a random Friday and entirely with mature folks such as my wife and I. The other guests were remarkably social, too, and treated us to Wine and Chat out on the second floor porch; to my surprise we were the only people who were staying there for the first time. By the looks of the large public rooms and outdoor dining area, the Inn is often used for hosting fairly large parties. The parlor rooms downstairs are pretty and filled with vintage goods, but rather defy a person to sit down and make use of them. One of the quirks of old places like this is their lack of insulation, so even after going back to our room to freshen up for dinner we felt as if we were still in the midst of voluble chat. But as seniors, everybody retired early after dinner and our bed was comfy, so sleep quality was quite good. The shower was agreeably hot, though the provided amenities (shampoo, etc) weren't much to speak of. Their tavern restaurant had slightly peculiar hours but the food was better than we expected. The staff was also friendly and helpful. Apparently one of the Inn's owners 100 years go was gifted at "creative marketing," so the claims of the place hosting distinguished guests throughout the years might be just as valid as the claims of its being haunted. No matter, we weren't there to channel Jack London, just to enjoy a meal and a night's stay.

A beautiful little inn being lovingly restored! It is a work in progress but the room was charming and very comfortable. We arrived late and the check in process was seamless, directions provided by text were exact. The caution to eat along the road before arrival was much appreciated as we stayed one night when the tavern is not open. We would definitely return to this historic inn and highly recommend it!

A magnificent home base to explore the Grants Pass area.
Despite living in Oregon for over 40 years, this was my first trip to the Wolf Creek Inn. It is located just north of Grants Pass and is convenient for exploring the area. The inn is air conditioned, a blessing for a July visit. Our room had a full sized bed and private bath. Both were nicely furnished and very clean. While the inn has WIFI, there are no TVs. The inn itself has a number of places to relax. There are two large sized areas on the main and second stories in addition to two balconies. The outside area is large and there are areas for dining. There is also a restaurant associated with the inn. We had two dinners and two breakfasts. The food at all meals was tasty and filling. Rachel pampered us at dinner. She is a delight!
