 The historic Balch hotel was hand built by area craftsmen in 1907. Dufur Oregon is located an easy drive 1 hour 40 minutes East of Portland. Whether traveling from Portland, Bend, or the Pendleton area, you will see some of Oregon's most beautiful scenery on your way to Dufur Valley. We are surrounded by rolling farming fields of golden wheat and green alfalfa. Sunny days are very plentiful here, making it an excellent location for Spring, Summer, and Fall outdoor weddings, reunions, and other events.
All 19 rooms are charming with character equal to that of 1907 elegance. Each room is individually furnished with period antiques. There is no elevator or lift (yet) in this historic hotel. Televisions and phones are absent too; they are out of place in the period décor. We do offer free wireless, making this a great work get a way. Some rooms have a private bath; others have a sink, spectacular Mount Hood view, and share baths across or down the hall.
There are a myriad of day trips to the surrounding area that are sure to fit your interests. Activities for you to enjoy include local area wineries, historical and art museums, golf, hiking, shopping, biking, rafting, and fishing. We can customize your corporate retreat, wedding, reunion, or other event to suit your group's interest. Any of these activities are an easy day trip. At the end of the day you can relax and unwind back at the Balch.
Call or e-mail today to make your reservations!
Looking forward to meeting you.
Sincerely,
Jeff & Samantha - owners |
