There is live Theater, the Pentacle, the only major theater in Salem, just down the road by 2 blocks as the crow flies. There are 15 golf courses in and around Salem, one just down the road a bit by 2 miles on highway 22 West. You can easily make a day trip to the Oregon Gardens, the beach at Lincoln City for some beachcombing while passing Spirit Mountain Casino, the biggest draw in town.

Famous Tulip & Iris farms, lush public gardens and the agricultural magnitude is supported by a mild climate and many wonderful wineries and tasting rooms are just minutes away and then there is beautiful Salem in all
its flowered glory and the Oregon state capitol.

Wine tasting has become a very popular activity, with the fertile soil and micro climate ranging from warm to dry
to cool the Oregon wines of the Willamette Valley have gained international acclaim. The inn is in the middle of the
wineries and you can visit for a tiny taste or take a day trip of sampling to nearby vineyards and tasting rooms.

Salem itself with galleries, museums, the Capital building with tour, with gardens, antique shopping or going to the cute city of Silverton or McMinnville for sightseeing and as another daytrip so that you can embrace some of
the culture and natural beauty of the Salem area , perhaps a picnic .

You can hike or jog in the very exclusive neighborhood on Andrea Drive too.
