Immersing yourself into the outdoors, if only for a drizzly afternoon stroll, is not simply refreshing—for Oregonians, it’s practically fundamental to experiencing a flourishing life in the Pacific Northwest.
Setting out on the trail or sleeping under the stars can be the restorative breath of fresh air that can completely transform a mindset. That transformation in mindset could have significant impacts on the climate of surrounding environment + the local community, and that's not something to take lightly.
From the outset, our mission at Silver Falls Hospitality has been to learn firsthand from the very nature of the wilderness, and directly from those who have been stewards of the land before us. As a small business and as a blossoming cohort of creatives and a "boots-on-the-ground" team, we aim to convey the resilience that we have gained & have continuously learned from, and hope to instill those values into the hearts and minds of the sojourners, friends, locals, and families that we are honored to host.
Smith Creek Village cabins are comfortable, but definitely not posh. Our cabin had two twin beds, a bathroom with a shower, a tv, a coffee maker, a refrigerator, and a microwave. It is conveniently located near the Big Leaf Coffeehouse and a short drive from South Falls.
Food options at the park are limited (the reason for the 3 stars for service) especially during the week, so be prepared to either drive out of the park for dinner, or bring something to microwave most days. Bag lunches can also be ordered in advance, and I believe South Falls Cafe (near South Falls in the park) serves food daily from 10 am until 4 pm daily. The new Big Leaf Coffeehouse serves dinner on weekends, breakfast on weekdays, and a Sunday brunch. Of course, these may change over time and perhaps by season, so check first. The reservation people were very informative in this regard.
We were pleased with the accommodation overall. Nothing fancy, but this is rustic park accommodation. The cabins are reasonably priced, clean, and comfortable. Being able to spend time at the Falls and relax in our room afterward was well worth it.
I have stayed at the cabins several times over the past decade and would definitely recommend them.
If you want a slightly more "Temperate Rainforest" experience, ask for the Upper Smith Creek cabins, a little further out in the woods, with a shared shower facility and outside firepit (fires may not always be permitted).
Great place to stay for any event. Restaurant food is good, if overpriced. But then it’s worth it to be up in such an awesome environment. My go to place for coffee whenever I hike in the park. The tiny cabins are awesome, clean and comfy.
I am updating this after my stay recently. Unfortunately the lighting in my cabin was just bare bulbs without shades. It was glaring and uncomfortable. Also, the water heater under the sink was not working. I told them this in person. The maintenance guy came over and confirmed that the heater was broken but that they didn't have a replacement. He then told me there were showers in the meeting hall that were for guest use. No one ever told me that in the three times that I stayed there. It wouldn't have mattered though since the men's room light was out so I wouldn't have been able to shower anyway in the dark. Then I noticed I was sent an email late in the day asking what kind of lights were in my cabin. Since there is no internet or phone at the cabin I don't understand why they would send me an email that I couldn't get asking for information they should have or for which they could send someone to look themselves. When I finally responded with an email explaining all the problems I had as I was leaving I never ever got a response from anyone. This is absolutely unacceptable. I probably won't stay here again.
We were so looking forward to staying at this place over the summer of July 2022, but unfortunately due to a no fault of our own auto accident days before we weren't able to keep our reservation. I called and was told there was no problemn, we would be able to come when we got better. Believe this or not my husband was rear ended days after I called to see about going for my birthday week January 2024 as my husband was feeling better (a whole year and a half later)! The girl that I spoke to said that it wouldn't be a problem to go January 8-11, 2024. I told her I would call back to see if this would work. But my husband
was involved in another no fault of ours accident January 3rd, 2024!!!!
When I called to ask for another extension in using our paid reservation I asked to speak to a manager.
Amber was incredibly rude. I offered to summit proof of these two unfortunate accidents. Ambers reply was they could offer a 25% discount and that would be all and that they would not give us a free night stay, which I hadn't asked for. She proceeded to say she didn't want to argue with me. Who was arguing?
I asked if I could have the information to the owner. She told me that the answer would be the same.
Not sure if this review will get any attention but if you reach out to "hospitality" you'd think they would at least try to work with you.
So disappointed!!!!!
We booked a tiny cabin and got an "upgrade" to a big house that looked it would be rented out by a boyscout group or something. It was okay. Very clean which is great. Bare bones amenities which was fine. Not a resort by any means. The little restaurant on the grounds was the best part. It's quite nice and the food was really good. Great spot to start the day before hiking/biking.
Had such a great time staying here even during a snowfall (they kept their access plowed) Check in was easy. Staff was very accommodating to any and all needs/questions we had while staying. Love being able to have bonfires in the main area Wood was supplied so that was one less thing to pack on the trip. Nature trails were great at the Silver Falls hiking. Would love to stay again
