Great place, but BRING EARPLUGS AND A SLEEP MASK
Last week, my wife and I sought to enjoy another relaxing, stress-relieving couple of nights at Oregon Garden Resort. We both needed it – our retail business saw one of the worst holiday seasons yet and we lost a dear pet a few weeks ago. So we packed up our remaining pooch and headed to dog-friendly OGR in Silverton to clear ALL of our heads. The grounds are lovely (even in winter!), staff was personable and accommodating, the meals were excellent and my wife enjoyed “the best massage of my life”! The pub offered a great place to end the day, with excellent ales and live music. We hiked all over with our pup and it helped us all to heal… some. The only drawback was in the room. Except for the pillows, it was very nicely appointed, but they have this wonky heating system involving a gas fireplace and a wall heater/ac unit that defies logic, (and I am a retired engineering professor!) We simply could not get the room to a comfortable temperature- day or night. The hotel staff dispatched service techs twice, but the system defied them too. The room temperature hovered around 64° - too cold for these old codgers. And when the system did choose to comply and kick on at 2am, the noise of the wall fan and the flickering if the fireplace made sleep nearly impossible. We returned home exhausted, and needed the next day to recover. So… will we return to OGR? Probably. But absolutely NOT in winter!

I must see if you are visiting Silverton.
The Oregon Garden is beautifully laid out. It has many themed and diverse areas. I would encourage you to take the tram ride ($4 pp) to get the lay of the land and then go back to roam around areas you would like to explore further. It is a vast area and impossible to take it all in. A very enjoyable afternoon.

Beautiful environment
The garden is vastly improving after having been mismanaged by the resort. Once the resort was removed from managing the garden, it improved immensely. It is also recovering from an ice storm a few years ago. Given the challenges of the past the garden is an amazing asset to the town of Silverton and the Willamette Valley. There’s still some things to be done but overall it is an amazing place to visit.
