Nestled in the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley lies a unique wine hotel that seamlessly blends into its surroundings. Inn the Ground, an eight-room haven, burrows into the hillside with nine floor-to-ceiling glass walls offering breathtaking views of the valley below.
Each room is a masterclass in understated luxury, featuring plush pillow-top beds crafted in Oregon and stunning local millwork. Private patios and spa showers complete the experience, while the property's holistic approach to hospitality allows guests to take a self-directed approach to their stay. The ground-floor lobby serves as a generous third space, boasting sleek living areas, a full kitchen stocked with complimentary snacks and drinks – including the region's signature Pinot Noir.
As night falls, a shared fire pit beckons stargazers, while miles of private wooded trails await early risers and hikers. The guest rooms are an oasis in themselves, each featuring its own unique charm.
For those seeking to dine on-site, Inn the Ground offers breakfast with a view. However, for a truly exceptional meal, guests should make the short drive into Carlton to indulge at James Beard-recognized Hayward. Alternatively, a 20-minute car ride into McMinnville will transport you to Grounded Table, the property's restaurant that showcases locally sourced ingredients and highlights the farm's extensive menu.
With its tranquil atmosphere and commitment to sustainable practices, Inn the Ground has carved out a niche for itself in Oregon's wine country – one that is sure to please even the most discerning traveler.

just spent a weekend at this place and it was straight up paradise! i mean, who needs fancy schmancy restaurants when you've got the whole valley as your buffet? the fire pit at night is lit 
(no pun intended) and the private trails are like having your own personal nature reserve. plus, the rooms are soooo comfy 
... i'm thinking of booking another trip just for the pillow-top beds 
I'm so done with all these luxurious hotels popping up everywhere! Back in my day, we just called it a B&B or a motel, you know? 
Inn the Ground sounds fancy, but $500 a night is just crazy talk for a room that's basically a glorified Airbnb. Don't get me wrong, I love a good Pinot Noir and all, but come on! And what's up with the fire pit at night? Can't they just let guests enjoy some peace and quiet like normal people? 
And have you seen the size of those rooms? They're basically just glorified condos. Give me a real hotel room any day... 
I mean, it sounds amazing at first but then you think about it more and you're like "wait, it's just a bunch of rooms with some fancy glass walls". And don't even get me started on the shared fire pit - who thought that was a good idea? Can't they just have a private fire pit in every room? 
And what's up with the 20-minute car ride to the restaurant? That's like, half the point of staying at a wine hotel. Come on guys, can't you just have everything under one roof? 
) and enjoying some quality time together in nature. The fact that they have private patios and spa showers sounds like total bliss - my kids would love unwinding with a relaxing shower under the stars! 
And I'm all about sustainable practices, so it's awesome to see them prioritizing eco-friendliness. I'd totally take my family there for a weekend stay and enjoy exploring the beautiful Oregon countryside together! 
it's like they took all my dreams and turned them into reality - those rooms are straight goals, especially with the private patios and spa showers... and can we talk about the views?! 
it's like you're literally drinking in the pinot noir while watching the sunset. i need to start planning a trip ASAP 
and that fire pit at night sounds like the perfect way to end the day 
inn the ground gets it just right - they're not trying to be too flashy or over-the-top, they're letting nature do its thing while still offering these amazing luxury amenities. it's like they're saying don't you need some quiet time in your life? take a step back and breathe, and let the beauty of the world around you soak in 
then when you're ready, treat yourself to something special - whether that's a home-cooked meal or a visit to one of those amazing local restaurants. it's all about finding that balance between self-care and indulgence, and i think inn the ground is hitting the nail on the head 
I'm literally drooling over this wine hotel! The fact that each room has its own unique charm and plush pillow-top beds made from Oregon materials? 
It's like a 5-star getaway without being too fancy or stuffy. And those private patios with spa showers? Perfection for a relaxing retreat 
And have you seen those wooden trails? 
Perfect for hiking or just taking in the views.
And it's not just about the rooms, the whole property feels like a haven for nature lovers and foodies alike. The private patios and spa showers are my fave part - totally Instagrammable 
! Plus, having that shared fire pit at night is the perfect way to unwind under the stars. I'm definitely booking a stay here ASAP, can't wait to try out their Pinot Noir cocktails and indulge in some farm-to-table goodness 
! And I love that it's all about self-directed relaxation and connection with nature... sounds like a perfect getaway for me after a long season of binge-watching Stranger Things 
i love how they incorporated sustainable practices into their design too - it's not just about being eco-friendly, but also about living in harmony with nature. and breakfast with a view? game. on.
. Plus, it's great that they're focusing on sustainability and holistic approaches to hospitality - that's exactly what I'm looking for in a getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life 
. It's about actually integrating those principles into the design and operations of the hotel. Like, Inn the Ground has those gorgeous glass walls that let in all this natural light and offer these stunning views of the valley below 
. Seriously though, this whole region has got some serious foodie cred, and Inn the Ground is right at the heart of it all
