Oh, beautiful Oregon. There are so many amazing places to visit in the Beaver State, the possibilities for vacations are endless. We know how daunting it can be to plan an overnight trip, especially when you have a tight budget. Hotels in particular can get pretty expensive—but have you ever thought of trying something a little different? From bed & breakfasts to treehouse cabins, there are plenty of awesome places to stay in Oregon that will be easier on your wallet than a hotel (and probably more interesting, too). Here are 10 unique, rustic alternatives for overnight trips in Oregon:
- Go “glamping” in a yurt.

Many of Oregon’s wonderful state parks offer this awesome alternative: yurts. Yurts have electricity, heat, lights, enough beds for 5-7 people, and an unbeatable rustic charm - all for about $40-50 per night. There are also “Deluxe” yurts for rent, which are a little more expensive but include a kitchen, bathroom, and shower.
- Rent a cabin.

- Stay in a tiny house.

Instead of staying at a hotel next time you visit Portland, consider renting a tiny house from the Tiny House Hotel. This adorable hotel is made up of six incredible tiny homes equipped with all of the normal luxuries of a house, but cozier.
- Experience Joseph and the Wallowas at the Bronze Antler Bed and Breakfast.

One of those lovely places is the Bronze Antler Bed and Breakfast in Joseph, where you can rent a gorgeous room for as little as $94 per night.
- Experience the coast at the Cannon Beach Hotel

- Live in a treehouse at the wonderful Out ’n’ About Treesort.

- Go camping.

Roast marshmallows over a fire, sing campfire songs, watch the stars at night, and spend the day exploring the landscape. There are amazing campgrounds all over Oregon, usually costing around $10 per night.
- Stay at the Green Springs Inn and Mountain Cabins.

- Spend the night above the trees in a fire lookout tower.

Unbeknownst to many, there are certain fire towers in Oregon that are available to rent depending on the season. These tend to fill up quickly, so be sure to book in advance. Lookouts typically cost around $40-50 per night. Here’s a photo from inside the lovely Clear Lake fire tower.
