Wolf Creek, Oregon: Wolf Creek Inn; hotel review

100 Front St., (541) 866-2474.  9 rooms.  B-L-D daily. 

The  oldest continuous-use hotel in the state of Oregon, the Wolf Creek Inn was built in 1883 as a "first-class traveler's hotel" for people journeying on the 16-day stagecoach route from San Francisco to Portland.  An orchard north of the dining room holds  mature apple and pear trees planted in 1885.  President Rutherford B. Hayes, Clark Gable, and Carole Lombard have all slept here, and Jack London wrote in a room on the second floor.  An annual Oktoberfest is held in late September to early October.
