You can probably stay with us if you’re visiting, but if you’d like your own space:
Motolodge — if you're interested let us know
Wildhorse Casino & Resort
The Working Girls Hotel – quirky & historic, downtown
Pendleton also has tons of Airbnbs. Look early if you're traveling with a group!
Flying Here
Fly into Portland (PDX)
About 3.5 – 4 hours by car to Pendleton with an absolutely stunning drive through the Columbia River GorgeBoutique Air also runs daily short flights from PDX directly to PendletonFly into Pasco, WA or Walla Walla, WA
Both are only about an hour from Pendleton. We'll easily be able to pick you up!
Weather
Eastern Oregon in the summer is beautiful — but don’t underestimate the heat.
Expect temps in the 90s°F (30s°C) during the day
Dry air = little humidity. Which means the evenings cool down — bring a light jacket
Most venues will have shade and AC, but pack smart if you're adventuring
Miscellaneous
You’ll probably need a car. There's a basic bus system here and Uber though too!
Wi-Fi and mobile coverage are solid in town, patchy in the countryside or hills.
Tipping: Standard U.S. rates apply (15–20% in restaurants, etc.).
Locals are friendly and curious — Northern Irish accents may cause a stir (in a good way).
