Salishan Lodge- Gleneden Beach, Oregon

I am two fools, I know,
For loving, and for saying so
In whining poetry;
But where's that wise man, that would not be I,
If she would not deny?

Salishan Lodge has long enjoyed the reputation of being Oregon's premier resort and it's easy to see why. Spectacularly set among 700 forested acres adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, Salishan Lodge is conveniently located only about ninety miles southwest of Portland. All 198 rooms and three suites are cozy and include fireplaces and balconies that are certain to lend to a romantic atmosphere. Other room amenities include a mini-bar, VCR and large-screen TV, a coffeemaker, and robes. There's an exhaustive list of activities thanks to the resort's vast resources. Golfers can hit a few rounds at the eighteen-hole championship golf course or practice on the putting green. Tennis buffs can enjoy a friendly match regardless of the weather thanks to three indoor courts. Guests can also partake in a more strenuous work-out at the fitness center, swim laps at the pool, and walk or jog on the resort's many trails. Afterwards guests can relax in the sauna or the whirlpool. The Lodge's Dining Room is ideal if you're looking to sample superb innovative Pacific Northwest cuisine complimented by an excellent selection of wines. Guests in search of more casual dining may want to try the Cedar Tree which offers Sunday brunch or the Sun Room.
