You might not know it, but nestled in the hills of southern
Oregon, there sits a little piece of Hollywood history. A s
rich in stories as it is in rustic charm, the W o lf Creek
Inn is a vibrant symbol of O regon's spirit of hospitality
and an enduring connection to some of the most fascinating
people ever to visit the state.
No phones. No televisions. No annoying alarm clocks.
Just a warm atmosphere, great food and comfortable
beds. W ith its perfect blend of civilized refinement and
natural beauty, the W o lf Creek Inn is an idyllic refuge
from the pressures of modern life. And, it has been for
over 10 0 years - which is why renowned writers, powerful
politicians and well-known movie actors have all frequented
the inn since it was first built in 1883.
In fact, so many famous people have stayed at the W olf
Creek Inn, the rooms are named for them. B u t if you
want to know who they are, you'll just have to come and
find out for yourself.*
All across the state, Lottery profits help maintain state
parks like the W olf Creek Inn and keep them open to the
public. In fact, Lottery profits help support all 2 3 0 Oregon
State Parks. The ones you know and the ones you don't.
It does good things
