An unconventionally spooky setting can be found at The Grant House, set on the banks of the Columbia River in Vancouver National Historic Reserve, outside of Portland. The two-story log cabin on Officers Row is named for a famous guest, President Ulysses S. Grant, and has worn many hats in its 169 years of service, including the first army headquarters in the Northwest, an Officers’ Club, a library, a museum, and (allegedly) a brothel. These days, the Eatery at The Grant House is a renowned dining destination, known as much for its menu of super-fresh seafood and local produce as for its otherworldly residents.
