Setting Inn Willamette Valley
Contemporary minimalist boutique inn with a wine-country focus. Clean lines, curated details, no fussy decor. Feels like a design-forward friend's guesthouse rather than a traditional inn.
Book Room 6 if you want the most dramatic room: 546 sq ft with heated bathroom tiles, soaking tub, in-room flame furnace, and a European towel warmer.
Why It Matters
Founded by Jeff Cova and Noah McMahon, the co-owners of The Setting Wines, the property has its own on-site tasting room for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. It's one of the few small inns in Willamette Valley with a genuine winemaker connection built in — not just proximity to wineries but wine literally poured on the premises.
Eight rooms on 10 acres in the middle of Oregon wine country — that's the whole pitch, and it works. The Setting Inn is a fully renovated contemporary property where the rooms are small by resort standards but finished with real intention: hardwood floors, platform beds, LATHER bath products, and Nespresso machines. The vibe is modern Pacific Northwest, not rustic B&B. Breakfast shows up in a wooden box outside your door at 8:30am, complete with local pastries, cured meats, wine country cheese, and an Oregon mimosa.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Room Eight
In-suite sitting area with a flame furnace, a wine country patio, and a private bathroom with a spacious shower. Garden views and a cozy feel with the fireplace-style element.
1 King
Room Five — Deluxe
Main-floor room built around an extraordinary 200 sq ft bathroom with a soaking tub and separate double shower. Separate sitting area with sofa and a covered patio with garden views. The bathroom is genuinely the room's standout feature.
1 King
Room Four — Deluxe (ADA)
Main-floor room that's also the property's ADA-compliant accommodation. Covered balcony with valley views, a sitting area, and an ADA bathroom with grab bars, knee-clearance sink, and removable shower seat. Don't overlook this room if accessibility isn't a concern — the views and patio are among the best on the property.
1 King
Room One — Deluxe
Top-floor room with a sitting area and a private Juliet balcony overlooking the main lawn. One of the most requested rooms — good balance of space, natural light, and elevated views without the premium of the largest suites.
1 KingRoom Seven — Deluxe
Ground-floor room with a wine-country inspired covered patio — good for sitting outside with a glass after a day of tasting. Separate shower bathroom and garden views.
1 KingRoom Six
The largest room at the inn and the most luxurious. Ground floor with heated bathroom tiles, an oversized soaking tub, a separate shower, a European towel warmer, an in-room flame furnace, and a walk-out patio viewing the main lawn. If you're going to splurge on a room, this is the one.
1 KingRoom Three — Signature
Top-floor room with courtyard-facing windows and the most morning sun of any room in the building. Private shower bathroom and walk-in closets. Good pick for early risers.
1 KingRoom Two — Signature
Top-floor room with a private shower bathroom, walk-in closets, and large windows pointing toward the rural countryside. On a clear day you can see Mt. Hood from up here. Cozy, not spacious — but the views punch above the size.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Full bocce court overlooking the Chehalem Ridge — one of the better spots on the property for a late-afternoon glass of wine and a low-key game.
Cornhole, croquet, and badminton available on the manicured north lawn and courtyard areas.
Multiple outdoor fire pits in the courtyard — the go-to gathering spot after returning from a day of tasting.
Small but functional gym between the main building and the barn, featuring a Peloton bike. Described as recently remodeled.
Off-site but popular: hot air ballooning over the Willamette Valley is recommended by the inn as a signature area activity. Third-party operators, not affiliated with the inn.
The renovated Barn can host private dinners, receptions, anniversary parties, elopements, and small corporate meetings. Approximately 1,200 sq ft of indoor event space adjacent to the courtyard, with a separate private meeting room. Vineyard views on both sides.
Sit-down tasting of the inn's own-label Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, led by a sommelier/host in the on-site tasting room. Approximately 90 minutes per guest reviews. Open to the public and bookable via Exploretock.
