Deep in Oregon's picturesque Willamette Valley lies a unique gem – Inn the Ground, where luxury meets nature. This intimate nine-room hotel is literally carved into the rolling hillside, offering guests an unparalleled view of the surrounding countryside. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls provide unobstructed vistas of the valley below, as well as the property's regenerative farm and water features.
Guests are encouraged to take a self-directed approach to their stay, but the inn's polished atmosphere belies its humble beginnings. A spacious ground-floor lobby serves as a comfortable hub, featuring two sleek living areas, a full kitchen stocked with complimentary snacks and drinks, and an impressive wine selection – Oregon's signature Pinot Noir.
For those who rise early, miles of private wooded trails are at their disposal. The inn also boasts a cozy fire pit, perfect for stargazing and nightcap gatherings. While breakfast is available on-site, dinner options are just a short drive away in nearby Carlton, where guests can enjoy the James Beard-recognized Hayward restaurant.
However, the true pièce de résistance is the property's restaurant, Grounded Table, located just 20 minutes down the road in McMinnville. This farm-to-table eatery showcases the property's regeneratively grown produce, including grass-fed beef, heritage pork, pasture-raised eggs, and over 200 varieties of vegetables from the inn's own Tabula Rasa farm.
With its unique blend of luxury and nature, Inn the Ground is a haven for those seeking an unforgettable experience in one of Oregon's most beautiful regions.

The fact that it's literally carved into the hillside and has these floor-to-ceiling glass walls just to give you an unobstructed view of nature is, like, wow. And can we talk about the wine selection? Pinot Noir in Oregon is a dream come true for any wine lover! 
But what really sets it apart is the whole 'regenerative farm' vibe - I love that they're trying to reduce their carbon footprint and make the environment more sustainable. And having this private trail system and fire pit just for guests? Total luxury, imo. 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to wake up with that breathtaking view every morning? 
It's like they say, nature is not just a backdrop for your stay, but an integral part of it too.
. And have you seen their menu at Grounded Table? Wow, so much focus on using locally sourced produce... it just feels like a more authentic way of experiencing Oregon's food scene.
. All in all, it's like a little slice of heaven on earth – who wouldn't want to spend some quality time there?
. I need to book a stay ASAP and try all those amazing Oregon wines 
!
. And can you even imagine waking up to that view? It's like having your own personal postcard every morning 
. Plus, the fact that they're all about sustainability and using their own farm for produce is super impressive. I'm already planning a trip out there! 
inn the ground literally has everything - luxurious rooms with insane views, private trails to explore, fire pit for stargazing, and a farm-to-table restaurant that uses their own produce 
And the views are stunning - I'd love to wake up every morning with that valley view 
. And dinner options in nearby Carlton sound amazing too! Pinot Noir for the win 
And can we talk about that wine selection tho? Pinot Noir is my fave! 
And have you tried farm-to-table food? I've heard amazing things about Grounded Table, gotta get myself there ASAP! 
the fact that it's literally carved into the hillside feels more like a environmental disaster than a sustainable luxury resort... and 200 varieties of veggies from their own farm is just a fancy way of saying "they have a lot of money to waste" 
just found out that climate change is gonna cause sea levels to rise even more, making coastal towns like McMinnville 
. And it's not like they're doing anything about it 
. Great, just what you want in a vacation spot – poison 
. And have you heard about Oregon's housing crisis? It's getting super bad 
... I mean, who wouldn't want to stay in a hotel literally carved into a hillside? It sounds like a total dream come true! And can you imagine having access to those private wooded trails and stargazing by the fire pit? That's some serious relaxation mode activated 
. Plus, I'm not convinced the views are worth the hype... how much glass do they really need to make it "unobstructed"? 
. And what's with all the emphasis on "regenerative" this and that? Is that just a fancy way of saying they're trying too hard to be eco-friendly? 
. 20 minutes down the road isn't too far, but I might just have to take a staycation soon...
. Meanwhile, their website engagement is through the roof - we're talking 500+ page views per day 
! They're really killing it with that regenerative farm feature 
. Also, I'm loving the fact that they have a loyalty program with rewards that offer up to 10% off stays - it's genius
