Perhaps you are headed to play golf at Bandon Dunes or maybe you\u2019ve wrangled an invitation to enjoy the venerable Eugene Country Club. Many more may be visiting a child at the University of Oregon or simply traveling north-south on Interstate 5. We were simply doing the latter and needed a place to stay before heading west to the Oregon beaches.<\/p>\n![\"Eugene1\"](\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/robertfagan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2017\/08\/Eugene1.jpg\")

Using one of my hotel reservation apps, I wanted something in or close to downtown Eugene where we could enjoy a good meal and explore downtown. The other requirement was that it would also be inexpensive \u2013 less than $100 before taxes as we really only needed a place to stay. Boy, did we score with our selection. (Rack rates are typically higher than $100 nightly.) With a few dozen options, we chose The Campbell House Inn and Restaurant. It was a delight to discover this 1892 home and carriage house nestled in a gentle hillside just an easy 5-minute walk from downtown. The tone set by the beautifully landscaped gardens extended right into our room. The charm was on full display. Converted into a Bed & Breakfast a century after being built, the twenty rooms of this Victorian along and its adjoining carriage house are clean, comfortable with air conditioning, claw-foot tubs, free WiFi, and television, mini-fridges stocked with free drinks, and quiet patio areas. The parking is safe and free.<\/p>\n![\"Eugene2\"](\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/robertfagan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2017\/08\/Eugene2.jpg\")

Eugene, being a major University town, offers a variety of educational, cultural, and University-related activities, so there\u2019s much to attract you there. It\u2019s also convenient to Interstate 5.<\/p>\n![\"Eugene3\"](\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/robertfagan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2017\/08\/Eugene3.jpg\")

After our delicious downtown dinner and stroll, we retired to The Campbell House\u2019s main dining room and enjoyed a full, free glass of wine. Before departing in the morning, an included full hearty, gourmet breakfast gave us the best start of the day.<\/p>\n![\"Eugene4\"](\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/robertfagan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2017\/08\/Eugene4.jpg\")

Perhaps the nicest aspect was the friendly, attentive service we experienced throughout. Like a good B&B, we met other guests who long ago also discovered The Campbell House and return at every opportunity. We will too, and so might you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
