Valley River Inn

Nestled along the Willamette River in Eugene, Oregon, Valley River Inn is a historic yet newly reimagined retreat. Originally opened in 1973, the property has long been a local treasure, welcoming travelers with its lodge-inspired charm. Following a multi-million-dollar renovation in 2024, the inn now blends its iconic 1970s architecture with modern luxury, offering spacious guest rooms and suites, many with private balconies overlooking the river. Pet-friendly accommodations are also available. Guests enjoy direct access to the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path System for cycling, running, and nature walks, while the seasonal outdoor pool and state-of-the-art fitness center provide additional recreation. The on-site restaurant, Sweet Waters on the River, serves Pacific Northwest-inspired cuisine alongside an inventive cocktail program featuring locally sourced ingredients. Just minutes from downtown Eugene, it offers a peaceful riverside escape with easy access to the region’s best attractions.
