PINE VALLEY LODGE, Halfway, OR. - Review - hotel review

* Crisp cotton sheets and eiderdown quilts on handcrafted beds signal quality that usually costs a lot more than you'll pay at this high-desert oasis in Oregon's northeast corner. The artist-owners have renovated a trio of buildings--including a 1930s Craftsman lodge and an 1870s bunkhouse-- to reflect a vision of the Old West that's full of cozy, comfortable charm, Rooms are enlivened with original oil paintings and sculptures, and plenty of antiques. Halfway Supper Club, located in a century-old church, serves up thick, juicy steaks, lamb chops, fresh fish, and sinfully delicious desserts.
