Attractions 
Just a short drive away... 15 miles from Salem (the state capital, shopping, the riverfront featuring Salem’s locally handcrafted carousel) only 30 miles south of Portland (home of the Rose Festival, the Trailblazers, Oregon Convention Center, OMSI, Portland Zoo, the Rose Garden, and many art museums and galleries). Yet still close enough to enjoy skiing on Mt. Hood, exploring the Oregon Coast, or hiking and windsurfing the Columbia River Gorge.
