The Setting Inn Willamette Valley Review | Hotels Above Par
"Set on a private 10‑acre estate tucked into the Dundee Hills near Newberg, Oregon, this intimate four‑star inn is run by owners Jeff Cova and Noah McMahon who personally greet guests at the gated entrance. The property feels like a stylish, garden‑savvy relative’s wine‑country home, with overflowing rose, peony and hydrangea gardens, a bocce court, fire pit with Adirondack chairs for s'mores, and a modern barn stocked with board games plus oversized Connect 4, cornhole and bocce. With only eight individually styled rooms—each with a covered patio and king bed—accommodations include eco‑friendly LATHER toiletries, plush robes and slippers, flat‑screen TVs, Nespresso machines, Steven Smith tea and interiors curated by Cora J Klang Design. A small on‑site winery tied to the inn’s luxury wine label produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from nearby vines; bottles are sold in the lobby or minibar and guests can book a tasting flight of five wines. Mornings bring a custom brunch box delivered to the door (croissant, jam, fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs, granola and orange juice), and the property also offers a mini boutique, fitness center, game room, on‑site tasting room, free Wi‑Fi and parking. Rooms start around $299 in non‑peak season and $499 in peak season, and the location provides a convenient base for exploring nearby wineries and towns such as McMinnville and attractions like Penner‑Ash Wine Cellars and the 99W Drive‑In Theatre."
